Articles about Marxhausen on Letterman

In recent weeks, I've been working on my internship, which takes away a lot of time from the Marxhausen blog, but this week the internship will be complete and you'll be seeing more posts. I'm visiting the archives for the school newspaper this week to look for stories about Marxhausen's major art projects for the school.

Here's the Omaha World Herald and Journal Star which told the story about Marxhausen's appearance on David Letterman's show.

Psalm 104:28 "That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good."

Psalm 145:16 "Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing."
