Maddy & God, IV, 3
Cc: Richard, John, David, Scott, Jess L, Erin, a camper you select MADDY: Hi Lord.
GOD: How you doing, Maddy? Good weekend?
MADDY: Wow. Better than good.
GOD: Holy.
MADDY: Yeah. Holy. You know Lord, I walked around the camp today and this…I don’t know…it was like a flood of memories came back to me.
GOD: I like that.
MADDY: I mean I saw places and people that reminded me of so many good times. . . My first dance counselors were ___________....and singing with Mr. West…and I remember Gail telling me to keep my puppet’s head tipped down. I never could get that.
GOD: Sweet.
MADDY: . . . and my very first mime…I played a ____________. And I loved art…then we went down to the Drama Den and Scott scared me.
GOD: He does that.
MADDY: He kept shouting, “That’s how it’s done, ladies!”
GOD: I can use anybody.
MADDY: But something else happened down there…after everyone else had left the room I grabbed another counselor..
GOD: Yeah?
MADDY: I asked him what I had to do to give my life to Christ.
GOD: I remember.
MADDY: I mean, I’d gone to church my whole life and I really like my church, but …I don’t know…I just wasn’t sure.
GOD: So you asked.
MADDY: So I asked.
GOD: And you had the most important talk in life.
MADDY: It was, Lord.
GOD: So…this counselor…what did he say?
MADDY: He said the Bible says it in lots of different ways, but they all mean the same…
RICHARD: If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
SCOTT: Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of eternal life.
JOHN: Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hear my voice and open the door, I will come to him.
DAVID: For by grace you are saved, by faith.
JESS LOMELINO: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
ERIN: Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
A CAMPER: For God so loved the world…
ALL THE OTHERS: ….that he gave his only son, and whoever believes in him shall not perish but shall have eternal life.
GOD: That was quite a moment, Maddy.
MADDY: (a long beat, then) I love you, Father.
GOD: And that….my child….is what it’s all about. (You exit)
