Pac III performance 1
Ellie: Hey God! God: Oh! Hi Ellie. You snuck up on me a little. Ellie: (Giggles a little) Sorry about that, Lord. But look! Look where I am! I’m back at PAC! God: I know! Look where I am… I’m everywhere! (Chuckles) Isn’t it great? Ellie: It is great. (Waits a beat) Actually it’s more than great, but you know God… something doesn’t feel right. God: Tell me about it. Ellie: That’s the problem… What do you mean? Ellie: I don’t want to tell you about it. God: Ah, I see. Ellie: Don’t get me wrong, I miss you God. But sometimes… sometimes… I just don’t want to talk to you. I get angry with people or the things I have to do. Sometimes I get angry about work or school or even myself. And here lately, I’ve been angry with you. God: (A long beat) Angry with me, Huh? (Another beat) Why’s that? Ellie: Because I now talking to you is the right thing to do, so I try my very hardest to talk to you like I am doing right now but… God: But what? Ellie:… I’m not ready. God: (A long beat) Ellie, I’ll let you in on a little something. I know you’ve been angry with others and with me and even yourself… but anger… anger can hurt people. It destroys relationships, countries, and you. Ellie: I know! So what do you want me to do about it? God: (A beat) I want you to forgive, Ellie. Sometimes that means admitting you’re wrong. Other times that means putting our differences aside to love one another. But when it comes to forgiving ourselves… Ellie: It’s as simple as talking to you. God: Bingo! (Pause) And if you ever find yourself not want to talk, make sure you know that I’m always here if you change your mind. So, you ready? Ellie: With you God? Always.
