September 15 – “The Glen Rose Gala Two”

Well, Chris and I are still not back with the group.  We were hoping for a miraculous recovery in time to see the Promise production, but since we just ate our first meal last night night, I don’t think we had the energy to make it.  So all my information has come to me from my various plants among the people.  Code names only to protect identities: Julie, The Pinball Wizard, Rebel-without-a-blue-shirt-but-with-plenty-of-coffee (Hey, some names just don’t translate well) and all the ones who sent or posted photos documenting the trip.  Thanks to you all (Especially you, Jules, Wiz and Reb).  Here are just a few weak verses to add to the trip account:

On his sickbed your poor bard

Heard word from pinball wizard

Seems the first were not the last

Dee fell too, may it pass fast

Violet, Suzann, Dianne, too

Daughters of the Dungeon Crew

Lauren, Sam, and Cathy now

Bunked with creatures – who knows how?

In this valley years ago

Dinosaurs walked to and fro

Now Museum Creation

Honors what the Lord has done

Seasiders made presence known

In blue shirts, well, all but one

Swept museum up and down

Helped the Promise crew with sound

Sunset beauty and a meal

Added to the play’s appeal

Music, drama, all abound

Praising God is what we found

But alas as sad things go

Unexpected glitches, whoa

Added concert blaring loud

Jarred some ears within our crowd

Then about the point midway

Came another guest to stay

What could be our newest bane?

Yep, you guessed it … it was rain

Now have future tickets, see?

They are complementary

And more weather’s rolling in

So we’re heading home again

Psalms 99:2-3 says, “Great is the Lord in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations.  Let them praise your great and awesome name — he is holy.”

Father, thank you for the Promise experience for our Seasiders.  And bless them for their readiness to serve in unexpected situations.  Amen.
