OK, this might be pretty lame, but I had to bite. I do love musicals and have a blast playing in the pit. So here we go. What musical am I? I am…
Annie Get Your Gun
You’re Annie, Get Your Gun! You’re talented, but very innocent. You have a tendency to believe lies. You don’t always undertand what’s going on, but your cuteness makes up for it.
I guess it fits. And it is one of my favorite musicals to play. The clincher was selecting from the available songs that is most me. “I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.” Yeah, I knew it was from Annie. But I do lean toward optimism so it wasn’t a stretch.
It’s that last line that makes me want to redo the quiz. (You don’t always undertand what’s going on, but your cuteness makes up for it.) Not very flattering. It does, however, offer us something to chew on as small group leaders. We can’t know everything that’s going on with each person in our small group. It might be tempting to let our cuteness or some other trick we pull out of the bag help us through a bumpy segment of our small group life. Don’t fall to the dark side! Small groups are about doing life together. Something out of sorts? Someone suddenly turning bitter or biting? Confront it with love. Ask. Pray. Talk. Respond. There is no better way to say to someone, “You are known and valued.”
That’s life at the kitchen table.
I wonder what it would take to be Professor Harold Hill?
