What has Eric learned?

Well... after two months on the road, this tour is finally to a close. I've learned and thought about many things in life during this tour, especially about how God is currently working in me and through me.

So what has God taught me on this tour? The number one thing would be tolerance. As a musician and non-theatre person, I had to deal with a lot of loud, noisy, enthusiastic, and generally crazy theatre people. I'm used to being around people that don't talk all of the time, so being stuck with about 10 other people who don't do that left me kind of left out and in an awkward position. I did, however, come to the realization that that's how these people are. And I can handle that, but to a point. There were many times that I was very stressed with noise, but with the invention of MP3 players and other ways to find peace, I made it through OK.

Another thing I learned was patience. I thought I had enough patience already, but this tour stressed that and increased it. It's a very hard thing to learn, but I think I've gained some more.

Overall, the tour's been fun, but very tiring and sometimes very stressful, too. I think I've learned a lot about God and about myself, so I'm thankful for that. Also, thanks to all of you who've been reading this and going to our shows. We appreciate your audience and we're happy to do it for the glory of God. Good night, and good luck.
