And the Show Goes On

When our kids were in Jr High... and particularly in High School, we loved going to their various productions... band... theater... choir concerts... half-time shows... dinner theater... and so on. It was a wonderful time for us, and we especially enjoyed the times when we got to share the performances with family or friends from church or the neighborhood. Perhaps the culmination was Jeremy's senior year when they did Tommy for their musical, and Jennifer flew in from college in Virginia to attend a performance. The show was so good... perhaps the best high school production I've ever seen... that the other high schools in the area brought their theater and music kids... even the Houston High School of Performing and Visual Arts. If you want to see it sometime, we have this home movie....... OK, OK...

Well, back to my original train of thought. Tonight we attended a Christmas show at Tabernacle Christian School where some of our kids from church attend. It was a 7th and 8th grade production, and one of our kids from church, Sam Spainhower, had the lead role. It was really fun to be able to share in the performance and the family's joy and the fun of the evening. We enjoyed it so much, that we're heading to another show Thursday night at Deer Valley High School.

Tomorrow night is our final rehearsal for our Christmas program Sunday. We need to fine tune (no pun intended) some of the songs, but I think it's coming together well, and I'm confident that God will be glorified and all of us will be encouraged as we look once again at the story of Jesus.
