Last night our director called us into the last little huddle to thank us for our hard work. We open tonight and odds that we’ll get to say anything meaningful to each other are kind of slim, openings are chaotic.
I’m not feeling anything special right now. But then I’m not the one who will have to look at the audience looking at me for 90min. straight!
Here’s what I’d like you to know about all this, I really appreciate the effort this director has gone to in order to communicate clearly. You don’t know how amazing that is for me. Yeah, not everything came out brilliant the first time but she was intelligent enough to listen and buffer her reaction and that went along way to making my job the cakewalk it is.
So, thank you Shana. I’m very glad I got this opportunity to work with you and really everyone. This has been a lovely experience.

Business as Usual
Matthew 3
John dramatic in appearance and rhetoric
John dramatic in appearance and rhetoric
Matthew is concerned with prophesy, yes, but also with the
dramatic. John’s movement is very cultish. Well, wasn’t it all supposed to be a
passing fanaticism? Weird diet, weird cloths, trendy ritual, and so forth a
leader who said inflammatory things. And Jesus came.
At first it’s more of the same flashy stuff. I think to
myself, things happen so quickly, things seem so exciting in the beginning,
large crowds and all. But after he gets their attention then the harder things
come. The obedience, this will only work if…
I think society has a three week attention span. Look at big
news stories, humanitarian groups have always complained that after an event
there is initial show of support and we go, wow! There’s a lot of support or
interest, and then about three weeks later it’s business as usual (KONY,
anyone?). How long did it take for Jesus? When would it become business as
usual?
To be Christian is business as usual.
