Here it is, my newest script. It will debut at General Butler State Park October 22-23, 2011

Our home church here in Northern KY, First Church of Christ in Burlington, has asked us for the third year in a row to open each session of our Marriage Retreat with a skit. The topic for one of the sessions is “Sexual Intimacy” in regard to oneness in a God-centered marriage. Of course, with a topic like that, I had to start it out with humor. Some of you who know me well know that I am a huge Carol Burnett fan. I grew up imitating her skits, and can do “Eunice” and “mama” pretty well. (You’ll want to picture me with the “mama” grey wig and glasses, yet with Eunice's personality and speaking in the "country" accent when you read this script.)

Here is the script- enjoy!

Watching Lady Gaga this morning on Good Morning America is what challenged me to begin to write a Theater Arts Curriculum for the Christian Artist.

Lady Gaga had a set that resembled a Pagan temple.  Dancers were in provocative black leather costumes doing an Egyptian style dance singing these lyrics as a mesmerizing chant:  Rah-: ra-ra-ra-ah-ah Roma-roma-mamaa! Ga-ga-ooh-la-la! Want your bad romance…  For more information on the song and video click here

(Ra is the pagan sun god of the Egyptians)

I watched this woman’s creative talent being used for evil.  I watched thousands of people sing along.  Some in the audience were even dressed with satanic horns on their heads in t-shirts which read “monster”, and “holy fool”.  I cringed when I heard the TV host say, “Lady Gaga has 10 million little monsters that follow her.”

All of our skits are now available for purchase on line.  Just go to our "Store" tab and scroll through starting with "The Story of Gomer" production kit.  This kit contains everything you will need to bring "The Story of Gomer" to your church or organization.  We also have a variety of shorter skits, ranging from quite funny to serious and covering subjects such as getting out of your comfort zone, God's big dream for your life,  being thankful for what it truly important in life, and fighting for your marriage from a Godly point of view.  Along with the skits, some of our mid-length monologues are also available including  "Eve Remembered" and "Elizabeth- A Time for Truth".  Don't think these are all for women...  

Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to serve God.  I remember playing "nun" when I was seven years old with my mother's slip on my head, trying to force my little bother to be the altar boy.  When I grew up, I went to Bible College with dreams of saving the world.  While at Bible College, I and my best friend Christine would dream of the ways that the Lord would use us, and even came up with a name for the ministry we one day hoped to have- "In-Step Ministries".  After we graduated, Christine moved on to other things, and I, well, I fell away from the Lord.
