I’m a Minimalist – But Others are Not!

As I shared last week, when it comes to scenery, props and costuming for skits, I am a minimalist.  Where we are lacking, we can let the imaginations take over.

However, I find that while I am a minimalist, others are not!  It seems like every year, God puts women on the skit team who have that artistic vision that I definitely lack.  When they read the skit, they not only can envision the scenery, props and costumes, they have the gift of bringing those visions into reality.  I have found that if someone is gifted in the area of decorating a set or coming up with appropriate props and costuming, they are willing to go to the extra mile.  They are willing to put in the time and effort, and they find great fulfillment in doing these behind-the-scenes tasks.  Our last retreat skit was set on a train.  As a minimalist, I would have just set up some chairs on stage and perhaps added a sign.  Instead, our skit team came up with the amazing scenery and costumes seen above.
