Okay, so I've got a title here from Guns n' Roses. But seriously, the first week here in November has seen plenty of rain. And so yeah, that song keeps popping in the head from time to time.
The rain was such that we didn't really do the Fall Festival at the school tonight, opting instead to go back to Jurassic World. Mommy and Daddy finally watched the movie, although Madison and Daddy have been doing the LEGO version a lot lately. LEGO games are deep with going back to find objects or characters, and it's generally fun exploring. This is a fun one here, and Madison's primary exposure to the whole Jurassic Park idea. She loves the theme music. She hums that to herself, in fact. Additionally, Daddy has the soundtrack in the car, which makes for a fun ride to school in the mornings. Daddy will tell some extended dinosaur story, and have the soundtrack to back him up!
So Daddy wrote a skit for this weekend, and was initially having a tough time deciding what to write. We wrote one skit around a board game last weekend, but what to do this weekend? It was right in the middle of thinking of the bottom line that he remembered a scene from one of the Bill & Ted movies, and the idea just sort of fell into place. Madison will get to see a Grim Reaper of sorts this weekend at KidPak, and the skit you'll see below. Fear the Reaper, no cowbell required.
CUE SLIDE: "Game On! Title Screen”
HOST: “Today’s story begins with Robbie and Camille.
And it features them making a really strange deal.
You see, just like everyone else, they were guilty of sin
And because of that fact, someone strange entered in.
DEATH glides in, dark cloak and sickle.
HOST: This is all our fate! These two gasped for breath!
ROBBIE and CAMILLE overdo it.
HOST: For in to the room walked a figure with the name of DEATH!
ROBBIE: “What?”
HOST: Shouted Robbie.
ROBBIE: That’s totally unfair!
HOST: But the Bible says otherwise
CAMILLE points at her BIBLE.
CAMILLE: Yep. It’s right there!
HOST: For all have sinned, yes even you and me
It says it right there in Romans 3:23.
CUE SLIDE: ROMANS 3:23
HOST: And so DEATH came to collect their souls at long last
The two had to think up something good – and fast!
And that’s when Camille remembered, and so she proclaimed:
CAMILLE: “I’ve got an idea, DEATH! Let’s play a game!”
HOST: For stories are told, and paintings portraying
Men seated with DEATH - for their souls they are playing!
CUE SLIDE: DEATH VERSUS MAN at CHESS
HOST: DEATH heard it all before, and always won
DEATH is inevitable when all’s said and done.
But still DEATH relented, knowing they’d in fact lose
And asked this one question
DEATH: WHAT GAME DO YOU CHOOSE?
HOST: Robbie and Camille were in a great mess
For neither was terribly good playing chess
And with so much at stake, and DEATH at hand
Why not choose a game they could win?
ROBBIE and CAMILLE: “CANDY LAND!”
HOST: DEATH was surprised. This was not as planned.
Certainly DEATH has not ever played Candy Land.
ROBBIE and CAMILLE are setting up the game of Candy Land.
HOST: Yet rules are rules, and by those he must abide
Robbie and Camille had a seat, with DEATH down beside.
They set up the board game – there was no turning back.
DEATH placed down a gingerbread man, one colored black.
And so the game started, with so much at stake
No one knew all the twists and turns this game would take.
Robbie looked at DEATH, his heart beating hard
Then he reached out and got a double blue card
ROBBIE celebrates!
HOST: And so DEATH went along, and was keeping the pace
Until DEATH got stuck on an orange licorice space.
DEATH throws up hands in exasperation
HOST: Camille did well, and didn’t think she’d fail
‘Cause she took a short cut on the Rainbow Trail
CAMILLE celebrates as well
HOST: And so it seemed likely that our heroes would win
But DEATH drew a card, and gave – well, a grin.
For their luck was now ending, or so it would seem
DEATH showed them the card he drew
CAMILLE: No! Not Queen Frostine!
HOST: DEATH moved that dark gingerbread way up ahead
Way up to the Ice Cream Sea
ROBBIE: Oh man. We’re dead!
HOST: For the game was all over, yes DEATH always wins.
And it’s all because of mankind, and all of our sins.
DEATH rose up, knowing that they had no chance.
And here’s where DEATH did a victory dance!
CUE TRACK: WHIP, NAE-NAE
DEATH dances a bit a moment before stopping quickly, and sitting down again by a stunned CAMILLE and ROBBIE.
ROBBIE: We should have played freeze tag, or maybe red rover!
HOST: Their chances were slim. It looked like GAME OVER.
But just as their hopes looked quite indeed bleak
Something strange happened next – yes, something unique!
JESUS enters STAGE RIGHT
HOST: It was Jesus! There was surprise on DEATH’S face.
Jesus walked over, and then he took their place!
ROBBIE and CAMILLE move out of the way for JESUS
HOST: And now it’s Game On, because there ain’t a chance
CAMILLE: Looks like you started too soon with your victory dance!
HOST: And the amazing thing here is that Jesus was winning
And he showed us all grace despite all of our sinning
Jesus played the game perfectly – he flew across the board!
You don’t have a chance when you play against the Lord!
And so DEATH saw he lost. This wasn’t part of the script!
Jesus turned to his foe and said,
JESUS: “Son, you got whipped!”
CUE TRACK: WHIP, NAE-NAE
ROBBIE and CAMILLE do the dance. DEATH shakes hands with JESUS, congratulating him, and DEATH joins in.
HOST: And as weird as this was – to this story, there’s meaning
You see, we were doomed, but thanks to Jesus intervening
DEATH waves goodbye to ROBBIE and CAMILLE, who wave back, and glides off STAGE RIGHT
HOST: Death, where is your sting? The grave has no hold!
Though our payment was death, Jesus did something bold.
JESUS rises, and joins CAMILLE and ROBBIE.
HOST: He took our place – we were all going to lose
And that is why it’s important to share the good news!
JESUS talks with CAMILLE and ROBBIE, who are excited
HOST: Tell others about God’s love, and share what you know
It all starts with the first word of the Great Commission:
ROBBIE and CAMILLE: “Go!”
ROBBIE and CAMILLE exit, waving goodbye to JESUS and presumably off to share the gospel.
HOST: Go, spread the gospel, and to God be the glory!
And that, my dear friends, is the end of this story.
JESUS waves and exits as well.
