Acting out

So these past couple of weeks I've been learning

what was essentially a monologue, which I

performed Thursday and Wednesday this week!

First real acting I've done in years. I forgot

how difficult memorizating is.

The performances went well, such a strange

feeling standing and walking around a crowd of

150 women having them all stare at you.

I played the part of the innkeeper in Bethlehem

speaking of the promised coming of the Messiah

while turning away knockers at the inn door.

Strange how the words became much more powerful

in front of the audience.

I guess life itself feels more full and right too,

when we like those words I memorized, are

out working where we were intended.

God's promise for purpose and fullfilling joy

in this life, can only come when we are

out working in His world. That's where we
are to be. Though the "words" he provides us to

memorize are different every time.
