Just Can't Seem to Get It Right Today . .. but they did!





Special thanks to my amazing husband who did a great job shooting and editing the drama/music video this weekend and Albert who helped out tremendously on set and camera as well. Ted did a great job of acting, showing tremendous versatility with all the levels of emotion my husband put him through throughout the shoot. Awesome job, Ted! Also, some great acting from Jacob Callender and a brilliant five year old method actress who shall remain nameless . . . : ) A great example of how we can support the sermon in a strongly connected way. Great job, everyone!

"In art, either as creators or as participators, we are helped to remember some of the glorious things we have forgotten, and some of the terrible things we are asked to endure, we who are children of God by adoption and grace . . . The artist cannot hold back; it is impossible, because writing or any other discipline of art, involves participation in suffering, in the ills and the occasional stabbing joys that come from being part of the human drama . . . we are meant to be real and to see and recognize the real . . . We have to be braver than we think we can be, because God is constantly calling us to be more than we are, to see through the plastic sham to living, breathing reality, and to break down our defenses of self-protection in order to be free to receive and give love."
Madelaine L'Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art

"Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track." Proverbs 3:5

Kudos to everyone involved on this media! I thought the script was well done, the emotional ups and downs were right on and even the cicadas helped add good tension to the scene. It was perfect how not everything was spelled out completely, but the audience still understood the troubles. Way to let the audience infer, while going along for the ride. Good job!!
