Every three months, I go into our local nursing home to do a show.  It is a great opportunity to share with people locally; both the residents and staff as well as any guests who may be there.  Last weekend was our scheduled visit there, and, since Rose (our 12 year old) was babysitting and my wife, Sue was hosting our mother-in-law at our house, I went alone.

I wanted it to be a special show; it can seem like I'm always there.  First of all, I planned juggling routines that were mostly accompanied by hymns: "Standing on the Promises", "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands", "Come All Ye Faithful" and "Near the Cross".  Then I planned to do newer routines that the folks may not recognize, and, of course, planned to use our rabbit and both doves.  Finally, I made sure it would include a clear but simple overview of the Gospel message. 

The show went very well, and the audience was very responsive.  My good friend, Erlyene Proctor was in the audience as usual.  Although she's profoundly deaf, Erlyene is one of our biggest fans.  I do my best to communicate the message of our show clearly to her as well.

After closing with prayer, I made sure I brought Jeremiah, our 'magic' bunny, around to meet all of the residents.  After all, he is the true start of the show.
