So its opening night, but i think we are going to be able to pull it off. You know how it is, pre-performance, with the anxiety of last night's missed lines, and minor technical difficulties. But im sure it will be ok. My dad is coming to see it, which surprises me. Hes been so hostile about for the past month. I hope that he will take something away from it. And i hope he will be able to look at me with resect for the work i have been doing, and for the purpose behind the play.
I, as a Christian, have been charged with work-in-progress. We, as a church, have been charged with reaching out and bringing others into the fold. We are required to accept those who are equally as flawed as we are, not to sit in judgement on them. I am not done working. When the monologues are over, my work continues. Those relationships i have built will keep on exsisting, and the message that violence against one another is not acceptable will still need to be spread. I hope he can respect that. It is not through me or my strength that this project will bear fruit. It is only through Christ.
