Mayhem in Bethlehem

Dec. 17, 2006
I've finally gotten a few minutes to update. December was a BUSY month. This day we had our Christmas program. It was fun, but exhausting. We found out the day before after dress rehearsal that our t-shirt guy was not going to come through. So, JW and I spent all afternoon buying shirts and materials, then spent until 2am making the shirts. They turned out great and everyone loved them, thank goodness.


The program was so wonderful. We had almost 400 people there! The program was what if a news team had covered the birth of Christ. It was great. The kids had worked since September on it and it went off without too much trouble. Our 'camera operator' was gracious enough to step in and sing a solo, and Laci did fabulous. Can that girl sing! Brandon, aka Noah Lott, made some recoveries that I haven't seen professionals do. Good job. There was one scene that had the Wise Men looking for Jesus (of course they never show up b/c Biblically they didn't arrive for about 2 years after His birth). I had made this camel for the boys to have in tow and wouldn't you know it one of the boys decided to give the camel a jump started and smacked his backside, this made everyone laugh so he did it again, about 6 more times. Very funny. All in all I'm so glad to have done this play. I know God was pleased and I was blessed. Thank God for little children.
