Bag that Bunny

Well, things are getting back on track with school. I felt a little less sheepish when I stepped through my classroom doors today. I still have a HUGE Geology test to make up and I need to speak with my Spanish teacher about how to keep my grade from bottoming out. Anyway, that's boring stuff (until I'm making loads of cash as a Disney Imagineer... LOL!), and there are still a few pressing issues in my life due to the wonder of Easter. We have to tear down the entire set on Saturday and have the church back to normal for Sunday morning. Yeah... Right... And there's the small matter of coordinating a cast and crew party for after church Sunday evening and purchasing nice gifts for everyone who helped. (with a little bit of money, I might add...!) hehehe... It'll be a busy weekend, but I'm glad school is done for the week and I'll focus my attentions on officially getting Easter wrapped up. I must be really boring y'all out there, or nobody is reading, because NO comments for ME! waaahhhh!! Ha! Be cool, people, be cool.

Don't call me...I'll call you...

Well, that's all she wrote. Or he wrote. Or anybody wrote. We wrote and re-wrote and when it came down to brass tacks, it was God who made up the difference. Our Easter drama run is over and what a time we had! It was very rewarding to be able to pray with my brother-in-law's girlfriend in the altar and to see my friend from school there as well. The team did such a great job of getting this thing together and the cast really did outstanding! I'm glad it's over. At this point, I can't say that I would like to do it again. We will see what the future holds, but for now, I am finished.

Nice Try

In the middle of the Easter hubbub, I had a Spanish test. *sigh!* There goes my GPA...! My professors don't know or care how much this drama has consumed my time, or else they may give me an "A" for effort! HA! Just a few more weary days and then...

To Believe or Not To Believe...THAT is the question!

Well, I am here again, but only to update on the progress of our Easter drama ever so briefly. Or maybe not so briefly. Anyway, we are doing "The Centurion" as I said before, but my Pastor re-wrote the ending. It's phenomenal, to be perfectly honest. The ending we had was lacking a smooth transition to an altar call, which is always the goal when we have hundreds of new people in the pew Easter weekend. So, my husband and Pastor brainstormed for nearly three hours yesterday, dissecting the last couple of scenes and finally came to an astounding conclusion - the centurion and his counterpart Marcus represent the mind and the heart, belief and disbelief, faith and doubt. Also, Ralph had the revelation that their superior officer in the drama, the Tribune, is actually representative of the devil. The last couple of scenes have been re-written to play up these new revelations and are really going to make it powerful. I can't wait to see what God is going to do through these wonderful people in my church that are working so hard to see that this thing happens! Hope you can come!
