Travis and God, III, 3

TRAVIS: (entering) It’s been a great camp, Lord.

God: One of my favorites.

TRAVIS: I didn’t know You had favorites.

God: Millions of ‘em. You’re one.

TRAVIS: I know. I appreciate that. In fact, sometimes I wonder what I ever did to earn it.

God: Nothing.

TRAVIS: But…I mean, of all the millions of people in the world, you let us be here this weekend… I don’t know.. it just makes me wonder why we got chosen to…

God: If I told you…

TRAVIS: Yea…?

God: ….It would probably scare you. I’ve chosen some of you, Travis. You’re my people…my team.. You didn’t do anything to deserve it..and don’t even try to figure it out.

TRAVIS: (a long beat, then) I’m lookin’ forward to the altar time tonight, Lord.

God: I thought I’d hang around for it myself.

TRAVIS: (laughs) Good. I was hopin’ you’d be there. (a beat, then) So… what do you want from me tonight?

God: Look out there again, Travis. (a beat) That’s what I want from you. That’s my team. That’s the team who’s going to set the world on its ear in the name of my Son. Pray for them, Travis. Pray with them.

TRAVIS: (a long beat as he looks over the crowd, then) I can’t wait.

God: Then don’t.

TRAVIS: Huh?

God: Pray with somebody now.

TRAVIS: Now? In the middle of a performance?

God: Oh yea. That’d be a really bad time, wouldn’t it?

TRAVIS: (a beat, he smiles, then) I get the point. (Travis goes to someone in the audience..takes their hand… prays specifically for that person)

God: (after Trav’s Amen) Amen. Now tell ‘em how much I love ‘em.

TRAVIS: (to the person) This much. (and he puts his arms around them then guides them to their seat) It’s gonna be a good night, Lord.

God: I’m just getting started. (Travis stays a moment, then smiles, then leaves)
