This week has been very busy, but I'd rather be busy than bored. Laura and I have been working hard to create a fun and productive curriculum for the spring semester of drama classes. Laura has been doing a great job of reading tons of plays and narrowing down the list possible source material. We are both very excited and optimistic about the future of this program, but the responsibilities of a teacher are immense. (God bless you if you are teacher of any kind). We currently have short parable plays we've written for the younger students and some David Ives, Gospel dramas, etc. for the high school students. This leaves the middle school group. They are a hard group to find decent material for, so if you have any suggestions let us know. All this while continually support raising.
Support raising has been fun and aggravating all at the same time. I love asking for prayer support, but find it horribly difficult to talk about money. My co-workers have been great encouragers through this process, and God continues to provide for Laura and I in so many ways. So if you're reading this and haven't gotten a call from me it's probably because every time I pick up the phone to call you I press 9 to dial out then sit there dreading the idea of mentioning money. I know God wants me here and I see the need all around me, but then I hang up. Someone told me it might be because I am man and we have a hard time asking for money. If that's true I'll have my wife call you. I think God is just growing my faith and conquering my pride. I mean I grew up in Cleveland hating Pittsburgh and now I'm thinking about rooting for the Steelers in the Superbowl, talk about God breaking down walls.
Outside of Urban Impact Laura and I have both kept busy with theatre. I am currently finishing up a Children's Show of Sword in the Stone at the Gemini Theatre and opening a Quantum theatre show called Mouth to Mouth. I go from playing Merlyn, an ancient white bearded wizard, to Phillip, a young careless 15 year old. As for Laura she has been working with The Pittsburgh CLO's educational theatre going to schools performing the innovations of Pittsburgh. If you ever wonder what great things came out of Pittsburgh just ask her and she can sing you a song about the Polio vaccine.
