God Truly Blessed Our Show

"The Whale Motel" being sung by our Jamaican quartet. This song started the show each night. It was another wonderful experience to be with such a great group of dedicated brethren and put together such an amazing show. We had excellent crowds each night - about two thousand in total, and the cast and crew just got better and better each night. It was an honor to work with everyone who helped it be such a success. Of course, we started asking God to bless it half a year ago and He certainly did. Why should I be surprised. It was four days of incredible sharing with guests, church family, and our own family. And to top it off, our old friends from our small group in Nashville showed up Saturday night and surprised me in a wonderful way. Love you guys. Here are some pictures from one of the shows. Most are from Sunday evening's final show. They were awesome and I love each one of them.
Jonah is trying to decide which boat to run away from God on.

This is the Queen of Nineveh singing to Jonah that he needed to "Walk Like a Man."



Here are all the creatures in the belly of the Big Fish. Lot's of color and lots of fun. And even a powerful lesson about ignoring God.


Jonah is greeted by the court of Nineveh with a huge Broadway version of "Hello Jonah".





The infamous Pirates of the Mediterranean singing A Pirates Life.




The quartet of crabs who welcomed Jonah to the belly of the whale. I wonder how many folks notice the reprise of the four pigs from The Prodigal Son in The Lord of the Parables.

The show was AWSOME! Seeing Donna get really into the "Walk Like A Man" piece was great. It was so good to be with you and see this production. And, not to (almost) mess up the surprise, I didn't check the weather forecast. It was a fun trip and can you imagine the 13 of us on the bus, in restaurants, the hotel? We tried to behave during the show.
Have bus … will travel. Small Group.

Wow, we both agree that this was the best show yet. You truely are very blessed with creativity. You're lucky to have so many talented people at Florissant to do this great production as well! Everyone did a wonderful job and it was so good to see you all. The only bad thing was that I (Ashley) couldn't be in it :(
