The Greatest Show on Earth

After several hours of preparation and rehearsal last night, the stage is set, the lights are hung, and the instruments and amps are in place. The back drop is hung and the table decorations are complete. The “talent” is prepared (well, at least for the most part), and the star of the show and master musician, Steve H. is excited and ready for the show to begin.

Tonight is the 22nd annual variety show at McKnight Road. Special appearances are expected by Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley, the Dixie Hicks and Chicks, and a very wild and crazy group of girls. The show includes musical numbers from the Broadway shows Les Miserable, A Chorus Line and Wicked. We will be entertained by vocalists, instrumentalists, magicians, comedy acts, clown acts, and perhaps even a dance routine. I believe our youngest participant is 3 and the oldest is well over 70….maybe even 80.

I have only been part of planning and participating in this show for a few years, but it has become one of my favorite church family events. It is a great time of sharing talent (or variety in some cases), spending time with friends, and reaching out to the community.

If you miss this show, you will be missing a great (and probably long) evening. It may not prove to be the greatest show on earth, but it will absolutely be a fun night!

I truly wish that time, distance, and circumastance would allow me to be there to celebrate this with You, Jason< Bekah, and the rest of the McKnight family.
