Tuesday Skit — A cultural exchange of two wonderful performances

Tonight we were treated to two performance -- the regularly scheduled skit and a surprise treat. More about the surprise in a minutes. Instead of doing individual skits each night, years ago, Skid decided that our week of skits would be one story divided up into four nights.  Tonight, the plot intensivifies. The Circo de Ole looses one of its leading performers -- the male half of the Flying Salinas. He wants to be paid for his talent and to be part of a more talented circus and so he leaves to seek his fortune with the self-centered Circo Siniestro. But all is not doom and gloom. A hippo and giraffe discover each other and romance as they perform a stirring version dance of Rewrite the Stars. It's followed by a song that stands as a moving anthem for all the tired band of misfits that make up the Circo de Ole and represents most of our lives and situations as our own bearded lady Addison performs This Is Me. To see all of the songs, dances and plot twists for yourself watch these segment of our week-long show by following this link: Part 3 of our Skit. 

Now about the second performance.... At the conclusion of our skit, we were treated to a surprise performance by a flamenco dancing company. They were incredible. But the real surprise wasn't the excellence of the performance.... It was the identity of the performers... They were all from The City of Children. We were blown away. It took us several minutes to recognize them but we quickly realized their talent. What a truly incredible night. And, once again, as it's been all week long -- we received far more than what we gave. Thank you, ladies. Thank you, City of Children. And, thank you, Jesus Christ that we can celebrate the hope that is within us all with laughter and singing and dancing. Life is good. Because God is God.
