I distinctly remember sitting on the couch of our small, rental mobile home in 1987, and praying specifically praying that God would keep us busy with our Supreme Court Jesters ministry. I even went out on a limb (or step of faith) and asked specifically that we would always have at least one show per month. That was 33 years ago, and, up until now, that prayer has been answered. If fact, I can only remember one time month when we only worked once. There may have been a few other times, but I don't think so. In fact, there have been some, not a lot, but definitely some months where we had 20 or more gigs. On our second trip to Ecuador, we did 31 shows in 20 days!
Ive learned along the way that God isn't concerned about numbers, really, but I am glad that He honored that prayer for so long. Hopefully that means many people have been encouraged, challenged, cheered up and more importantly, the Jesus has been lifted up, glorified and taught. Nonetheless, during this coronavirus pandemic, I do miss performing. True, it's only been two,and a half weeks since my last show, and, between SCJ and LOL, I've done five shows this month. But at I look at cancelation after cancellation, and wonder how long this will last, I miss performing. Will there be any April gigs left? Why does that even matter that much?
I still practice juggling every other day, and I'm even playing with a few new tricks. I'm spending time with some old magic to rework them back into my shows. I'm sending a magic video each day to my WCA students before I start teaching them on line. But I miss performing.
Keep an eye on my web site calendar to see when we will be back on the road. I sure miss performing.
