"All the world's a stage."

As a theatre kid, I love this quote from Shakespeare. As a Christian, it truly got me thinking. Who's directing my play? Am I in the play of this physical world with Satan as my director? Or I denied the role of "sinner" to play a part in God's off-Broadway production simply title, "The Body."
This is a revolutionary show, truly. The cast is vast and varied, and yet they work together to play the part of ONE BODY.
This cast gets together every Sunday morning and once in awhile during the week in small groups for rehearsals, which are always open to the public. The show runs almost constantly with new members being added simply because the show's message compels them.
More people are becoming aware of injuries and mistakes that have occurred on stage daily. And some cast members have been known to apologize ahead of time for what might occur on stage. Others have even encouraged the audience to leave and explore other shows.
Although some great actors have taken pride in The Body, the show is rarely advertised, and critics rarely give it good reviews.
People work very hard to degrade the character and nature of the show, but it is somehow able to survive.
Why? The Director is brilliant. The crew: angelic. And the Producer's resources are vast, limitless really. And although He has never been seen and rarely been heard, He has communicated through His Son, the original Star of the Show, that the show is what means the most to Him. It is the Biography of His Son put into action on stage.
So no matter what the opposition, He has made it clear: "The Show must go on."
So, how about you? What;s your role? Right now, I'm the mouth.
