Picture & Memories

I'm not even sure where to start!!! The Kingdom was AWESOME this year- our best ever!!! I wasn't so sure after a very rough dress rehearsal, but the Friday night performance was our best Friday night ever! Enjoy my pictures!!!

Some Funnies/things to Remember:
*Sunday Night's Lord Supper Basket- there were Easter cookies and Muffin on the table....wonder who did that!!
*T Forner Signature Shots- just aim your camera in a general direction with a slight slant and you have a Tom Forner Original Picture!
*Walter and his poor black fabric- We never did get the ascension like we wanted it, there is always next year though!!!
*Choir Headpieces- a few even had the Sara Holloway Original Doo Doo Ball Headpiece....too funny!
*"This color doesn't look good on me, this isn't my costume from last year, I don't like my robe this year...." They don't look good on anyone...it's a bathrobe for crying out loud!!!
* The Torches and lighter fluid spillage on the Lords Supper Table Dress Rehearsal Night- whoo did I smell after that!!!
* The Prop Signs that didn't read right: Adulterous Woman Rocks, Lame Crutch, and Mary's Stool...hmmmm.
* Did we see the Boom Boom Sweep Lights????
* The stage is too dark during this scene, no it's too bright, no it's not enough light.....
* The Guard Torches must be bigger- so burlap and fire go together now right???
* Walters Poor Broken Big Toe.....

Amazed.....

Well, it's over.....actually the performance is over but not the memories, and the take down is just now starting. I'm amazed every year how great The Kingdom turns out to be. It really makes it all worth it when just one life is changed. Every year we have our problems and issues, but they always seem to work out and the program turns out even better than we could ever imagine!

Last night's performance was one to remember for sure. We surprised the Lords Supper Dinner Guests with Easter Cookies and even a banana nut muffin! I think the disciples were tickled on the stage to look down and see some cookies....but they had to have some kind of cookies in Jerusalem right?

We even had our first real injury last night. Poor Walter. The man who plays the part of Jesus is such a true joy and blessing to work with. He does an awesome job with his part....one which is very tough to play!!! During the crucifixion scene, the cross beam fell on his foot....breaking what we think is his big toe. He finished the performance with a smile and the same gracious attitude he always seems to have. I, on the other hand, knew exactly how he felt since I have broken my big toe too! I joked with Walter about how at least he broke his doing something noble- where I just plain broke it in flip flops at a swimming pool.

Walter was even able to finish the performance and the ascension.....with a smile and that same gracious attitude he always seems to have...... the Lord is good. I'm still in amazement at what He has done. He has risen indeed!!!!! I'll post pics later on in the week...now off to take down props and finish choir costumes!
