We love live theater. We attend all of the community theater events and the Broadway in Birmingham performances. I am always impressed by folks who have been blessed with performing talent, but even more impressed at their ability to memorize volumes of dialog and choreography. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast. And that was fifteen minutes ago.
Actors take us on an escape from reality. Through them, we journey to places and situations we find funny, or sad, or scary or exciting. When the play is over, it’s back to reality. I walk out envious of the performers and their skill.
But in a sense, we’re all on stage. It’s helpful to keep in mind God has a script and a role for us in our routine lives. And if we are faithful to it, the encore performance will last for eternity.
Amen
