Easter Pageant

Here are some pictures of my debut in the Owensboro Easter Pageant. It took quite a toll on our family for me to do this, so I am very grateful to John for his help and encouragement to get through it. The week of the performance, I ended up coming down with a cold so it was a huge struggle to get through the dress rehearsals and 4 performances.

My character name was "Sinful Woman," which meant I was the woman who washed the feet of Jesus at Pharisee Simon's house with my expensive perfume. It wasn't a huge part, but I had a few lines and sang a song.

Here I am with my John's Mom, (aka Grammy), who recruited me for the pageant. I would just like to point out at this point that my skin is not this oily....it was very oily make-up (that I didn't get to apply) and an extremely hot costume:)

This was my wig lady...sorry, but I don't remember her name, but she attends First Baptist, the church that produces the pageant. It was fun having all the ladies in charge of hair/make-up/costumes make a fuss over me, trying to make me look just right. They all took it as their personal responsibility to make sure I looked "just so" on stage. I don't think I've ever had so many people to work on me for a show. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Here is Luke, our little lamb, who was terribly frightened by this little guy. Pappy was in charge of animals again this year, and supplied the cast with a couple of lambs.
