Friday evening the drama club at GBS put on an amazing production centered around the life of the great missionary Lottie Moon. It was not only phenomenal from a technical standpoint, but it was spiritually impacting as well! It was carried out with great precision and everyone was thoroughly impressed. I really hope they travel with it!

And so it ends, another festive Christmas program has come and gone and now it's time to tear it all down. We made siginificant progress in reverting the chapel to it's original state. We are on schedule to have everything in order for Revival next week.

Well, the first night of the Christmas play is complete. All in all I would say it went very well! The Lord most certainly added His help and blessing to the evening. It actually turned out to be a blast! Thanks for all of your prayers!

About a week ago in choir Mr. Wolf read off my name with about 6 other people, and asked to meet with us after choir. So I nervously waited through choir wondering what it would all be about. When choir was finished Mr. Wolf announced to us that he would like us to audition for the narration parts in the Christmas program. "Yeah right!" I laughed inwardly knowing that there would be no way I would get chosen. I was, however, very excited at the opportunity and honor of being chosen. Well, needless to say, Monday (today) rolled around and I went down to the tryouts with the rest of the group. Some, however, had decided not to audition because of time restraints on their schedule. So, we all got up and went through our speeches and left; returning to choir. A few minutes later Mrs. Potteiger came up and beckoned me off the risers. "This is a callback" she said as we walked down the stairs toward the chapel. When I got there they asked if I had any previous acting experience, so I told them that I had competed in Famous Speech in the A.C.E. Student Convention. So instead of running through the Christmas lines again, they asked me to go through my speech. That completed, they told me they enjoyed it and I left again. An hour or so later, another one of the people auditioning, Brandon Hilligos, called me and told me we were to meet in the chapel again. So I headed down once more to the chapel, not sure what to expect. But imagine my excitement (and nervousness) when I was informed that Brandon and I had been chosen to be the narrators for this years Christmas play! I pray God will give me the wisdom and strength to perform this part as it should be done for His glory!

It's hard to believe that in less than a month we will be having our annual GBS Christmas Program! The choir is busy preparing and trying to learn all these new songs. We are singing a song from Handles Messiah...difficult is not a strong enough adjective! I spent some time today observing Mike and Nathan today as they take care of the set construction and lighting. It's much harder than it looks! I am getting excited about the program. If all the work that we are putting into it is any gauge by which to judge the performance, it should be spectacular!
