What a busy weekend. It started early Thursday morning...flying out of Omaha to Chicago then to on to New Orleans and then renting a car to drive to a little town called Oakdale, Louisiana. Oakdale is a quiet village 3 hours east of New Orleans and just south of Alexandria. I arrived late but in time to meet the youth and have fun playing a few theater games and getting to know them a little.
Friday I meet with their drama director talking about plays and scripts...especially Christmas plays. I think they might be doing our own Christmas Eve at Mountain Creek Train Station. Friday evening I rehearsed with the youth and taught them Presence of the Lord is Here with dowel rods and half of Jeff Smith's Arise My Love.
Saturday was an all day drama clinic and Saturday afternoon was another rehearsal with the youth where I taught them a song interpretation to, "Lose My Soul" by Toby Mac. They performed it for their first "SNL".
Sunday morning was Friend Day and I performed, "Close Friends". The pastor had invited many dignitaries and they showed up in full color. People running for office filled at least three pews. Next month the state has elections for senate, state representative and more. Anyway, I had a blast and the Lord bless the audience with the drama.
Sunday night was conducted by the youth and we started the night off with Presence of the Lord is Here and then I did about 45 minutes of drama ministry and finalized the evening with Arise My Love. To say the least the four days were none stop.
Had some catfish and a local diner...got have some fine southern cookin while yer there ya know.
Flew back home Monday afternoon and was greeted with brisk fall day. Ah, yes football is in the air..Nebraska plays USC this Saturday. As you may know College football in Nebraska is almost a god.
Next up...Tampa Bay, Florida for street drama.
