May Day at Furman

Today was awesome. That wonderful time of year known as May Day Play Day rolled around again. And that means puppet shows for BCM. We put them on every year in the Watkins Room for the children who invade Furman, and they love them to death. So we did that for the better part of the morning, and had a superb time. I warned Cara and the others ahead of time that their arms would get a major workout holding the puppets, doing mouth movements, etc. By about ten seconds into the song, you can already start to feel the strain as the blood rushes down into your shoulder joints. With less circulation going to your hands, wrists, and fingers, they begin to feel like lead weights. And no I'm not a science/health person, either - I know that based on my own experience. But it's all in good fun. I told Lauren this before the show: we live for this stuff. It's part of how ministry happens. You don't have to use a pulpit, a sermon, or a baptismal loft to reach people in Jesus' name - you can do that in something as fun and silly as a puppet show. That shows just how big God is; that he can use that for His glory.
