my original hiding
began with a crazy,
wonderful,
opportunity.
but hiding was forced to continue
by a rather pesky illness
that landed me
in Barge.
but i'm out.
and better (sort-of).
so.
here's the scoop:
i'm starting a play writing contest.
i've been in meetings with the faculty,
and they think it's a wonderful idea,
and they want me to get it going.
my first thought was to run it
independently of the university
(and the university agreed),
but to keep it limited to BJ students
at least for a couple years
until i figure out what i'm doing (ha!)
but.
the Lord has a way
of pushing us much farther
than we thought possible.
a new faculty member
came forward and has started
an on-campus script competition.
at first i thought,
"oh, good! someone else did it!"
but the faculty said,
"please, we really want/need
an off-campus competition.
there aren't enough other people involved.
we need to challenge more people."
they even (praise) suggested
extending the competition to "other"
Christian colleges.
very other.
not just Maranatha other.
:)
so.
here i am.
never run a competition before.
don't know the first thing about advertising.
but i am excited.
and up to my eyeballs in research.
The Lord is Good.
I am eagerly waiting to see what He is going to do!
and sometimes even 24 by brunch!
(with apologies to Carroll)
go with grace! i'm excited for you. :-)

Hey, I hear there's
this guy who lives
near the Opportunity
Place who does all
sorts of hat tricks,
maybe he can help
with some onlineness. : )
grace and peace
Posted by: james micah at October 31, 2003 08:31 AMi too have found that a few days in barge
can produce good things.
'course, i'm biased
since i was born there. :]
seriously, this good thing began long ago
and i am thrilled to be able to watch
its development, even from afar.
i am
particularly
expressly
very muchly
happy about
and
interested in
the prospect of
"other"
involvement.
please let me know if i can do anything to help.

i am so glad that the Lord is forcing you to act outside your comfort zone. it will be fun to watch the Lord grow you in the direction He wants you to go. i pray and hope you will too that i will allow the Lord to do the same in my life.
