Southern Illinois

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I just finished a fun weekend in DeSoto, Ill with a small group of young people.
We did a first with the song by Selah called, "Press On". I created a song interpretation using the first verse. I took the story of the lady with the issue of blood and blocked it into the first verse. The bible says that the woman pressed her way into the crowd and finally tuched the hem of Jesus' garment. It worked very well and look forward to do doing it again next week in Chicago.
Sunday night I also did part of a monologue called John In Exile. The character brings the audience right to Calvary. I used the character to set up the drama team to do, "Let the Veil Down". It ministered extremely well. If you haven't done this song yet....you are missing it. You can down load it from itune. It's sung by Judy Jacobs.

Well, like I said I go to the Chicago area next to start the mad month of December. I will only be home in Omaha 2 days during the month of December...actually I will fly home the 23...just in time to be with my wonderful family.

Many of you are doing our Christmas Eve at Mountain Creek Train Station script....if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me at howitiller@aol.com.

"Close Friends" - goes to high school

Had a great time last Friday night performing, "Close Friends" in North Platte, Nebraska at the North Platte high school. It was a mixed crowd of old and young and from many different churches. "Close Friends", is monologue that touches just about every age. In this eight scene script, the character starts out at 4 yrs old and ends up at 84. It has something for everyone. They laughed and cried. It's the perfect script for any time of the year, but can lend itself to a Christmas theme.

You can read more about the script at www.howitiller.com/dramas.com.

Saturday I taught a leadership seminar.
Sunday concluded with me doing a Bible character (Story teller) who ended the morning message with Uriah, better known as, "When the Hardest Thing to do is the Right Thing to Do."

Next up: Carbondale, Ill
