One of the great things about putting together a Christian dramatic musical is that it automatically draws you to God's Word. Today I spent a lot of time trying to understand what Jesus actually did right after his baptism: did he go immediately into the wilderness for forty days, or did he go start rounding up his disciples? (the way John's gospel is written makes you wonder, but he went into the wilderness first) What order did he call his disciples? (Andrew and Simon first for sure. When the disciples are listed as a whole, Judas is always last, but in the gospel of Matthew it records the incident of Matthew's calling last. Go figure...) Why do those things matter? Because we want to be as accurate as possible in the chronology of the storyline for the Easter drama.
Other drama things accomplished today:
*confirmed a television interview for one of the morning shows
*fixed a glitch on the online questionnaire form (love those Google document forms!)
*met with a team leader about recruiting a new team member
*got an informational letter put together to mail to new church members explaining about the drama and asking for their participation
*worked on the details surrounding one of our new scenes that will require new set construction, decoration, and props
*still need a couple of songs to round out the script, so listened to more new music
*completed my first comprehensive list of scenes and songs and extras needed
Tomorrow is a NO DRAMA day. Has to be dedicated to worship planning.
