MONDAY NIGHT PERFORMANCE

Last night was my school's end of the semester show, called See What I've Done Night (what a cheesy title). Basically, we get up and do something. Usually there's some piano playing and singing. This year though, we got to do skits. If you read the little note about me, you'll know that I like to act. I'm decent at it. I was in a skit about a group of teens at youth group making fun of the other kids. As all the skits did, it had a message. This one showed how we often criticize others when we have our own problems and that gossip doesn't make anyone feel good.
Proverbs 11:13 says "A gossip betrays confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret." This means that those who gossip cannot be trusted. How would you feel if no one ever trusted you?
Proverbs 16:28 says "A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends." This tells us that not only can we lose other's trust, but we can lose them all together. If we gossip too much, others choose not to associate themselves with us.
Back to the show. Probably the two most popular acts were one of my friends doing a yo-yo routine and me, the yo-yo friend, and another friend doing a piano trio. It's not everyday that you get to play the piano and act goofy with two of your best buddies and have people applaud you. Perhaps I should do something with duct tape next time.
I also had to be MC (heavy sigh). That means I had to introduce some acts, read some stuff, and try to be entertaining. It's not that I'm not funny, but my best stuff is sarcastic, witty stuff that I say AFTER somebody has already said something, or in response to something that happened. I'm not too great at stand up comedy. I bet the audience had wished they had some duct tape to keep me quiet.
