Title? what title?

yeah, cause I couldn't think of a good title for this entry, ok? Anyway, yesterday I had the surprising priviledge of being part of the Rhea Arts Council music awards ceremony...thing...I'm not sure what it's really called, but I was there. They have it every year leading up to the Strawberry Festival, and I always intend on entering the photography part of the contest, but I always seem to miss the deadline, hrmm. So,I went with the theater to read some scenes from the next play "Quilters", and in between the kiddies playing their music selections, we "entertained" the parents that showed up, becuase that's really the only audience there was. I was a tad nervous because I've only read the script once, not out loud, and so when I got up to read the parts I was told to read, I could barely move I was shaking so bad! There's one scene where this girl talksabout making a Sunbonnet Sue quilt, only it's the demise of Sunbonnet Sue and it's like all the ways she could think of to kill her, and she puts it on her sister's bed, and when her sister sees it she screams, so guess who got to scream? Yep, li'l ol'me. It was the most nerve-wracking thing I've done in a while. It upset me so much my stomach hurt for the rest of the day! I guess because I had to put so much emotion behind it to make it come out real, it was very strange. It was like it came from the bottom of my stomach and out my throat like I was throwing up or something. It was a strange afternoon.

I also went to a Mothers and Others dinner at church with my mommy and sister, and had some great food and listened to a wonderful speaker who strangely enough, we knew, but that's not the strange part. Her sister and my sister were friends in school, but we always percieved them to be snotty rich kids who got everything they wanted. You know the kind I mean, like when you say their name it's always with a sneer and a fake posh accent. But now, she's a missionary and has such a heart for God it makes me ashamed of the way we used to talk about, well her, at least. Her message was so simple, all the things you need to know to follow God. Wow, I never thought of it the way she explained it, but now I have a better understanding of how to go about doing things for God. so thank you Chrissy, for putting back on the right track.
