This is actually Noah using Dan's blog since Blogger has been giving me trouble all summer. Enjoy!
This summer has been great for just learning about how different personalities relate to each other. When you spend as much time together as the Godspell crew has over the past few months, you see everyone at their best and worst. You also get to see what you need to work on in your own life when it comes to working as a team or just life in general.
I think one of the biggest faults that plague Christians today is pride. You constantly hear growing up that "Pride commeth before fall." Before this tour I never really thought much of it. "I guess that's true," I would say. But after this tour I've come to find that 99% of problems that arrive with any sort of group striving for the same goal, whether it be a big business, a church, or in this case a touring production of Godspell, come from pride. We are all growing and changing every day. We are not perfect and it is ok to admit when we need to rethink our behavior. The old golden rule also plays a big part in this as well. Treat others as you would want to be treated, not as you think they deserve to be treated.
Something else I was reminded of during this tour is that God can use anything He wants to impact others and bring them closer to Him. There were certainly days that we were not in the best mindset to perform a show. There might have been some bickering among the group, people could be frustrated with something that went wrong, or maybe just didn't feel like performing another show. Despite all this, there was not one show that went by where someone didn't come up to me and say how much the show touched them that night. I just find that amazing. Once again this has been a Noah blog using Dan's user name.
