Inspired by the song Rich Mullins wrote of the same title, Kevin wrote this play 8 years ago. Since this is a play with music and dance and we are not songwriters or choreographers we turned to our friend and colleague, Liz. God worked mightily through her inspiring her with most of the songs needed for that first production.

| Bradley and Josiah were in the first show. |
This time around, again, we went to Liz but we had added a couple scenes. God used her as before and she wrote new songs, including one for a scene we had previously borrowed music for.
Everything was moving along smoothly: God brought musicians, dancers, actors, stage crew, etc. But then....injuries, illness, technical difficulties, etc. We were still struggling when we got to the week of the show. At that point, if there had been one more illness or injury with the cast the show would have had to have been cancelled.

| Caleb learning to be led so he could lead |
As it was, Kaiah learned Hannah's part. Hannah learned Kylie's part. Kylie took over for Kaiah on the sound board. Mrs. Carmean took over the piano for Caleb B. but he kept his speaking role. Timote recovered enough to move around stage. David missed school (and two of the final rehearsals) to rest so he could perform. Ruth danced with ankle pain. After two separate injuries, Sam's ankle was miraculously strong enough to dance on. Eric, a musician, was flat on his back between songs. Felicia and Sion, also musicians, managed to play in spite of feeling ill.
