The First Read Through Rehearsal – Unlocking Potential

I've been crazy busy.  In the past 8 days I have attended 2 first read through rehearsals for 2 different productions: Lion King Jr (our next after school production) and Noises Off (our next class production).  Sometimes the first read through of a script is called a table read.  This rehearsal is the foundation for… Continue reading The First Read Through Rehearsal – Unlocking Potential

#bethelight – Day 46

Yesterday was a wash.  "Life" kept me moving and I struggle to get in the suggested activities.  Perhaps today will be a more successful day. Jesus taught:   "[I was] naked, and ye clothed me."  —Matthew 25:36 Along with things like food and shelter, clothing is a basic need. It covers us and can keep us warm.… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 46

#bethelight – Day 45

What a day... started early and I just got home.  What's another 16 hour day? Sorry I am blogging late... I can only move as fast as I can... even at a tortoise pace. Yesterday I took #5 to Burgerville.  Man, she loves her junk food.  Today I let her hang out with a friend… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 45

#bethelight – Day 44

Yesterday I made an effort to be patent during misunderstandings.  Yesterday I helped someone who was in need of the help to find something lost.  It was a long day, yet it was a good day. Jesus taught:   "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."  —Matthew 6:21 There’s nothing wrong with having… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 44

A Warrior Gets Back UP

Wouldn't it be nice if life was a straight line?  No ups.  No downs.  Just straight.  Right? Life has ups and downs. When you are down you notice it most.  When you are down you tend to think you are the problem, that you did something wrong, and "karma" is swinging for you. What if… Continue reading A Warrior Gets Back UP

#bethelight – Day 43

Yesterday I called a sick friend.  Sadly it was about all I had time for.  Maybe I will get a little more wiggle room today... Jesus taught:  "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them."  —Matthew 7:12 “Do unto others as you would have them do… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 43

Adulting 101 – Want vs. Need

Money.  Having money.  Spending money.  Money is on the mind of all the teens I know.  The purpose of money is to provide for needs and wants, for myself and for others, now and in the future.  It comes down to simple economics.  One of the most basic concepts of economics is want vs. need. … Continue reading Adulting 101 – Want vs. Need

#bethelight – Day 42

Yesterday I  was so impressed with my nephew.    He saw families sleeping on the sidewalk in 26 degree weather... a 3 year old hopping up and down to stay warm... and sprang into action!  He went to the store and bought all the blankets and coats and hats and gloves he could, went back,… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 42
