Still hide all of me
Okay, highlight of my day? It's still a small world, even in New York. Explanation? Yes, please! Here we go:I've directed a couple of plays (Morbidman Meets His Maker and The Waiting Room) that were written by John Cosper, who also happens to be the founder and director of the Righteous Insanity theatre group. Over the years, we've been in touch about various different projects and productions--I've picked his brain for ideas; he's tried to come to Foothills on one of their tours--things like that.
Tonight, I was at my small group, and Ryan, the pastor who's leading the group, mentioned something about New Albany, which is, apparently, a small town that no one has ever heard of, so he tells people that he's from Louisville, which is the nearest city.
Now, these two cities/towns in conjunction with each other twigged something in my brain. Wait a minute, I've mailed stuff to New Albany. What?... Oh yeah, videos of John's shows!
"Ryan, do you happen to know John Cosper? Have you ever heard of Righteous Insanity?"
"What?!?! You know John?! What a small world!"
Yeah, I've still got it. I can move this far away, and still know someone who knows someone.
And, people, I've got comment capability on this thing for a reason! Talk to me! Pleeeeease?
The small group was good. I'm really looking forward to this. The study is on the various roles of Christ, and it's a study that could be done by new believers, or by people who have been in the church for a while... this group seems to be the latter. It seems to be a group that has a strong knowledge base, and a significant level of understanding what they're talking about. It was good--the conversation was centered around Christ as Teacher, and there were a lot of good points made, many of which were cross-referenced with other scripture, historical examples from Christendom and Biblical history, and theological points that were evidence of some teaching and learning. I think it'll be a good group to hang out with, and I think it'll be a good study, in general.
Anyways, no one seems to be online to talk to, and I've replied to all my emails and stuff, so I think I might actually get to bed at a decent hour tonight!

I'm leaving you a comment! That's so fun that you found connections like that. Only you; you know that right? Oh, I'm emailing you my first draft of my play; but don't give me feedback till after Thursday. Cindy wants this edit to be purely my own, and I don't want to be swayed yet by what you think! Hope you like it!
Alida, you're awesome! I'm so glad to be a part of you I-know-people-all-over-the-world game! :)
And you kids always used to complain that no matter where we went we would know someone or find some connection!
Mom hasn't commented lately because Justin had our computer for a week, and since we got it back Sunday, well. . . we're still trying to get everything working again. I thought that was supposed to be his job! :o) He may come out again in hte next day or two to help out some more. I have printed off your blog entries, so Mom can at least read them.
Your group sounds good. Enjoy. (They didn't say anything about "we thought you'ld never show up?")
Love, Dad
Hi Alida!
That really is incredible! :P
I hope all is well where you are.
I am praying for you!

I'm back! And yes, it is a small world, esp. in church circles! But we've talked about that bafore.
Will write more later, or phone--have to take Carl to S'more and deliver two pails of carrots to the Food Bank (good idea, eh?).
Love, Mom
