The dinner theater production that is.
I've really enjoyed participating but WW and I are glad to be getting our lives back!
Who knows, maybe we'll participate next time?

Opening Night
Last night was the opening night of our church drama "The Christmas You've Always Dreamed of." Overall, the play went very well and from what I saw of the audience, they enjoyed both the dinner and performance.
I've enjoyed helping and participating in the play (I have one scene and a whopping one line) Although I wasn't happy about many of the late night rehearsals, I'm thankful God used this event to move me out of my comfort zone. This was a much needed spiritual lesson. Many times God may want his children to serve where they may not feel qualified. In ourselves, we are unable to accomplish His will, through Him, however, all things are possible. This is what Paul meant in Phillipans 4:13, "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me."
I'm also thankful my daughter is able to participate in the production. She is one of the Christmas Tree dancers. She told me she has enjoyed performing for the church and is looking forward to participating in the future. She is also looking forward to her mother coming tonight for the second nights performance.
I pray many lives will be touched and those who usually are not in an area to hear the Gospel will be changed by God's grace. All glory goes to God in this production.

Hell Week
Wednesday through Sunday will be "Hell Week" for WW and me. Friday through Sunday our church is doing a dinner theater production and Wednesday and Thursday are the last two days the cast can rehearse. I don't have a big part, but going from work, having about an hour to eat dinner, feed the dogs, then head off to church will take it's toll. I'm enjoying being in the play, but I'll be glad when the whole thing is over.
Sunday School went a lot better. It still got a little out of control, but just starting on time made a huge difference. Hopefully the teacher(s) will put their heads together to figure out how to reign in the talkers. After talking to a fellow church member who also has plenty of experience teaching, I have a new perspective on the talkers. I'll admit, I can be cynical thinking some are there just to talk and socialize. He reminded me everybody there wants to get something out of the class and to draw the class into discussion and specifically asking the talkers questions. It sounds like that may help and when it's my turn to teach Daniel, I just may try that. I appreciate his advice as it has caused me to have a better attitude towards the classmates. I still think sometimes it may be necessary to privately talk with those who are insistent on being disruptive, but this action should take care of a lot of the issues.
Ok, breaks over, now it's back to work.
