Tonight we took the girls to their first 'Community Theatre' type play. (They'd been to a couple of church plays before, but this is the first amatuer/semi-pro type production.) It was called Two from Galilee - basically it's the story of Mary and Joseph, expanded. In fact here's...The Synopsis:
Mary and Joseph, two young people in love from the village of Nazareth, fight against the Jewish tradition of prearranged marriage for the chance to be together. But just as they are betrothed, God reveals His plan for the birth of the Messiah. Mary will be the chosen one to fulfill the ancient prophecy: "A virgin will conceive and bear a Son."
Joseph struggles to accept this turn of events as truly being from God, while Mary continues to believe in God and her love for Joseph, even in the face of her family's unbelief.
At his father's deathbed, Joseph begins to understand and accept his part in God's plan. He and Mary journey to Bethlehem and, against difficult odds, struggle to see God's plan accomplished: the birth of God's Son, Jesus, in a tiny stable in Bethlehem. At His birth, Joseph and Mary finally realize fulfillment much greater than they had ever dreamed.
It was a very good musical play (With a full orchestra that was exceptional) and some great moments of humor, and the girls really enjoyed it. Joelle more so than Natalie, but that's basically due to the age thing. Joelle was 'enthralled' during the entire thing and kept whispering things to me she noticed. Very precious! We had two good friends Pilgrim & Trailady who were actors in the play and enjoyed seeing them and their kids take part!
They're excited to go to their next play - and frankly we can't wait to take them.
Anyway, Hope things are good with you. Just found out tonight that I'm scheduled for 2 runs that will have me back home at a pretty decent hour Monday night. I'll run about 1000+ miles and unload two trucks of product in KY and SC/GA. Should be interesting.
Monday our carpenter starts putting holes in our new house walls and building a deck. Hope he gets it done soon! Can't wait to move in! Gotta go - probably on Sunday eve or Tuesday am to pick up our new refrig and range for the house. Yeee haw!
Have a great weekend y'all! I'm'a going to bed.
