tender mercies


Sometimes when you feel you and your prayers have been forgotten the Lord steps in and reminds you He's still there. Sometimes it's in the most unlikely of places. My cousin put this on her FB wall today.






I definitely needed the reminder. Thank you.

giving up the good fight

So I need some input.

As most of you know I've been cast as Ruth in 'Blithe Spirit'. It's an undertaking to say the least. Well, last week I started making line flash cards (like I have for every other role I've played), and I'm wondering if I should give up the good fight and just study them from the book.

I know the flashcards seem juvenile, but it is a great tool for me, and I seem to learn quicker and retain better when I use them.

Here's the problem. I've been working on these buggers for over a week, and I'm only half-way through my script. Wouldn't be a problem if I didn't need to be off book two weeks from tomorrow. I'm not complaining; I know I signed up for this, but I'm also scared senseless I will be the weak link.

Should I finish making the cards or finish the scene I am working on and do my best to learn the rest from the script? Or do I finish what I started and risk falling further behind than I already am?

Each stack (Act) is over an inch...and I'm not even finished with Act II...
