Ready To Go!

It’s coming…Scrooge…Scrooooge…SCROOOOOOGE!!!!

Summer is finishing, school will be back in session, Wave Conference was a huge event, earthquakes and hurricanes out of the way and now we start the Scrooge process.

Last year, a ragtag band of ruffians and thespians started gathering and practicing and building and blocking and in the end created something very amazing. i don’t think any of us thought we would fill the auditorium to overflowing and have the response to Christ that we did. we knew we had something good but God took that and made it something incredible.

i remember waiting backstage before the show started and getting word it was filling up and then there was the delay as more and more people came in. finally, we hit the stage and it was overwhelming to see that many people and feel the support. The most amazing thing was the altar call and to hear Pastor Steve just keep saying “more hands being raised”, “more hands.”

i’ve set it in my heart this year to pray for an overflowing house during the performances, but not for our egos, but for God to move and lives to change. There are some people who will only come to a church when a “non-church” event is happening…little do they know, they are still coming to God’s house and He’s waiting for them.

This year’s show will be amazing! we have some new cast & crew & some other new surprises in store. But it’s not about us, it’s all about Jesus.

Are you ready?

Summer Break

I’m taking a bit of a break from the classics to read a few other books. I’ve been working on From Good to Great by Jim Collins for a bit. It’s good but a bit businessy for me so I’m trying to pull out as much as I can.

There are some great business principles but I’m in the process of getting my brain to think in that way. It does break the main points down at the end of each chapter which is nice.

Next on the radar will be Stuff Christians Like by blogger/tweeter Jon Acuff. I’m really looking forward to this one but scared it will go by way too quick.

Soon Scrooge rehearsals will start & I’ll be immersed in all things Christmas Carol. Last year, I got the audio book & it was brilliant to have someone read it to you with the accent & different voices.

What are you reading?
