Puppet Musings

I love puppets! This is me with "little girl." (Her name changes with the Bible stories.) Interesting, isn't it, how her expression and mine can look so similar. What's up with that? I guess it's called, "getting into character." I can pretend to be someone else: a person from Canada (eh?), or the South (you'all), or even Moses ("God? Is that you??")! I make people smile, or even laugh out loud. I can 'preach a sermon' without putting my listeners to sleep. Ha! In Big Trout Lake, I sometimes even have a minute or two where kids pay attention to what I say. My favorite thing about being a puppet is the freedom to ad lib. What freedom there is to say what comes to mind...after praying for God to speak through me. Then, if what I say is good, it's all God. If not...it was the puppet speaking!
