Lafayette's Passion Play - 2009

I decided again this year to take the boys, to the Passion Play in Lafayette, that is performed at The Long Center, by the First Baptist Church. They loved it so much last year, I thought it would be a great thing to take them to again. It was a very good performance, but it was different than last years. We did enjoy this one, but enjoyed last years play, much better. It was kind of hard for the boys to follow as it "took place" in 1947 and was about a man named Jed. He was a very successful business man and and was big in the world of politics, yet he performed every year in the local Passion Play. When his place in politics no longer needed him and with his company headed in the wrong direction financially, he needed help. His friend, which was also the "director" for this local Passion Play, told him he needed to turn his life over to Christ and Christ would take care of everything! Jed prayed and received Christ into his life and it totally transformed his life. The play would go back and forth from what Jed was going through in his life (during the "performance" he was in) to the actual performance itself. Anyways, it was good, but we enjoyed last years a lot more! --After the play we headed for ice cream and made a stop at Wal-Mart. It was a great way to end our evening : ) Thanks boys for going on a date with your old Ma tonight, HA!
