this is dedicated....




....to the cast and crew of my latest stageplay, "The Falls". 

I always get a little nervous the closer we get to a "performance".  Will everything go as planned?  Will folks show up?  Will the tech be on point?  Will someone in the cast act a fool?  Will I act a fool!?! lol

Seriously, this experience has been....different.  A lot more of...the more.  The baby has left the crib and the living ain't easy! Just kidding...(almost).  Reality is God has been all in this from the seed of the idea up to this point, and He's not going anywhere.  As the Bishop said last night, Faith connects us to God's integrity.  We can count on His integrity.  I know I am guilty of treating God like He's a man, that will lie or not keep his word...but He ain't that.  He's faithful, even when we aren't.  In case you haven't noticed, I'm not perfect....I know that's  a shock. :-)  There have been some mess ups, mistakes, oversights.....but SO WHAT!  We are doing this!  And we are doing it with passion and purpose.

I am always amazed at the people God puts together when we do a project.  Everyone at different stages of life with different experiences...different personalities.  The one thing that will connect us FOREVER is this experience, good bad or ugly.  I am "proud" to know each of you and to share this journey with you.  We have put in the work...we have had all kinds of challenges....deaths of loved ones, job transitions, relationship issues, accidents, house floods and many other things that were not verbalized but were felt each time we held hands in prayer or brushed past each other on stage.  That's called Family.

So as we move into our last few days together on this project (at least this part of it), let's relish every moment....because this time will never come again...not in this space with these people.  I personally thank you for giving your gifts, time and energy to this project...and for making The Falls live and breathe.  No one could do it like you. :-) 

bite of the day ~ Whether 3 or 433, we will give it our all.

  1. Congrats on your birthday! Either your being a bit hard on yourself, or I haven't been around you enuff to catch all that "anal" side of you. From my point of view of what I have observed, you've been very insightful, focused and disciplined. So I don't see where the idea of being "apologetic" or not is necessary. I think your great. Of course my opinion could mean that I'M anal, so I can't recognize it. Right? Nah... Your not anal... Now on the other hand, Shebeta.... (Just kidding! Heh! Heh! Heh!)
