I am sitting in a church building in a tiny little town in northern Indiana called Windfall. We drove through the snow to get here.
From Tennessee it's about a 9 hour trip. We haul all our props in our car, leaving only enough room for us to sit. Most of our weekends include loading our car, driving to our destination, unloading the car, setting up our props on stage, performing, tearing down or "striking" as they call it in the theatre world, loading the car and driving home. We also usually preach and lead worship the same weekend. Of course I left out a very important detail: Before all of the loading, driving unloading, setting up, performing and tearing down, the sermon, script and music were written and props were made. As we were setting up today, I said, "Are we crazy?" Most people who do what we do have a driver and a road crew. John boy said "Yes, we are crazy." But, we are singing our song off "any old stage." Amy Grant has a song she sings about being "happy sad." We are "happy crazy."

The kids certainly enjoyed their visit with you at Windfall....I was so sorry that I had to miss it. BTW, Kya came home with a BIG smile on his face as he was tugging and showing off his honest to gosh cowboy bandana. He announced that he had won it. I asked how and he said that Tommy had told him that he was thinking of a number between 1 and 100 and two guess what number it was....Kya guessed 20 and Tommy said that was the exact number that he was thinking of. Kya said "Oh Grandma I almost said 21....I'm so glad that I didn't!!!!!" lol Thanks Tommy....you made a little 8 year old boy very happy!! Now the 6 year old didn't give the right Trigger answer, but he got a bandana anyway!!!! Good memories for them. Leave a Reply. |
