– Faith and Family: A Snowy Christmas Play Experience

in the fall of 2025, our church that we attend, Clover Pass Community Church in Ketchikan Alaska, focused on presenting a Christmas paly, as many churches do around Christmas. Our play though was a little different from many others. Our worship director wrote a play that had had a woman and her niece trapped in a cabin because of a snow storm. The lady was training to be a lawyer and her niece was asking her “why we pray in Jesus name”. The woman then shared many of her favorite witnesses (from the Bible) of who Jesus really was. Verses like Matthew 9:1-8, Mark 5:21-43, Matthew 27:54, Isiah 7 and 53, Luke 2:8-20 and the last witness that was called was from John 4:7-42. Every time that a witness was called upon they presented their side of the story. In between the witnesses and the scenes of the cabin, there was a 5 level tree that had several local church choir member singing various songs. There also was a kids choir that sang a few songs also. Many many hours went into the practicing, from the choirs learning the songs to the people stranded in the cabin, to all of the behind the scenes work and people. It took a f ew days to build the tree, took another few to build the cabin. When it was all done, we had 5 performances that were free to attend. It was a successful outreach to our community and many people commented about it and were blessed by attending it. The link for the YouTube video is:

– The Unseen

Have you ever seen the air?

I have seen it when it is polluted.

You have seen the results of pollution added to the air, but not the air itself. What about the wind, have you ever seen the wind?

I see it when the leaves fall or when the trees sway.

Those again are the results of the wind, but not the wind itself. What about love, have you actually ever seen love?

I have seen the results of love, or love in action, or the causes or results of love.

Ok, one more for you, have you ever seen gravity?

I believe that gravity has the same answer as the others, I can see the result of it, but not actually it.”

You have learned well, my son, teach this to others

Just like the air, wind, love and gravity are the unseen spiritual realm, yes I’m talking of angels and demons, I’m talking about spiritual warfare. We can see the results of their involvement in peoples lives, both good and bad. I have heard of a baby picked up and landed safely from a tornado (the good), we all have heard about some random violence or shooting someplace (the bad). The Bible speaks both about angels and demons. It speaks of angels with a flaming sword, angels that were delayed in responding, angels that went before people in several battles. The Bible also spoke of those that were under the influence of the demonic, one guy that beat up seven brothers and sent them running away, naked and scared, another guy who lived in the tombs and would harass the villagers. To learn more about what the Bible has to say, do a word search for angels or demons. The truth is that both are real. Sometimes what people credit as good or bad luck, can actually be involvement from either a angel or a demon. Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. Some have said, “well I was just following the voices in my head, so I ….”, think before you act, could this be a angel or a demon trying to help you or use you as a pawn. The Bible talks of preparing oneself for the battle, learn God’s word, apply it to your live, in those times that you feel like your being attacked by something unseen, cry out to Jesus. By His name, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is the Lord, even the demonic shutter at His name. He can help. If this intrigues you, get involved in a Bible teaching, believing and preaching church in your area, or find one online.

– The Banqueting Table

Have you ever been to a real feast, where there was more food then there was time to consume it? If you believe in the bible, then one day we will feast with Jesus. He said that where he went, He went to prepare a place for us. There is a Christian song that talks about God’s love and having us at His table. That song kept resonating in my mind and in my heart. I started a animation with that concept. It’s not finished, need lots more food and more people, but its a start. I used DAZ 3D, IClone, Character Creator Premier Pro to help with creating it.
