Our Goal

Happy Sunday!

First off, Thank you Mike and Kathryn for your kind word of encouragement, testimony and love. I believe we have all grown, for the better, because of this production because we have grown closer to Christ. My whole goal throughout this production focused on two thoughts.

Mary's line in 2.4: If you follow Him, and REMEMBER HIM, you will always have Him near.

And, a scripture I heard more than once yesterday, {Doctrine & Covenants 1:19-23}: The weak things of the world shall come forth and break down the mighty and strong ones, that man should not counsel his fellow man, neither trust in the arm of flesh--- But that every man might speak in the name of God the Lord, even the Savior of the World; That faith also might increase in the earth; that mine everlasting covenant might be established; That the fulness of my gospel might be proclaimed by the weak and the simple unto the ends of the world before kings and rulers.

Yes, this is a musical production. And yes, we all want to do our best so it doesn't fail. However, neither of those is our primary goal. Our primary goal is, and should always be, to speak the name of the Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ. My whole goal I've said from the beginning, is to help all involved (cast, crew, audience) to REMEMBER HIM! He is the way to Salvation and Eternal Life. Sometimes I feel like one of those 'weak things,' but it helps to to know that the weak things can break down the strong IF they are following the Lord.

I do my best to always have His spirit welcome in our rehearsals; I want it to permeate EVERYTHING we do regarding the production because THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT! The Holy Ghost needs to be present in order to testify of the Savior. And, I'm sorry for those moments where I forgot. As we come to the end of our production together, as long as we remember WHY and WHO we are doing this for, everything will work out. I know that's why all our production problems have had solutions. I know that is why we feel the spirit often and why so many people are interested in this play. They are interested because they've heard it before; they may not remember, but that's why we are doing this--- to HELP THEM REMEMBER!

So, feel of His spirit today--- as you watch/listen to {conference} and remember "Him who redeemed us."

I love you all, dearly.

With that said, rehearsal schedule for this week is UP on the blog----see above
