My mom has had an expressive signing ministry for as long as I can remember. Expressive signing is a mixture of ASL, dance, and drama. I do a little of it as well, and when we came to Washington the doors opened up for us to start another signing ministry. Expressive signing hasn't been done in the western states as much as in the eastern, so people are intrigued by it. Our group consists of our pastor's wife, a woman from Peru who is still learning English, a Khazak woman who is wonderful in dance, a Muslim, and two other woman, along with my mom and me. My point in bringing this up is that we are doing a couple of songs that show Jesus' life on earth, and then him dying on the cross. The second song tells that he then rose again, and that he's not a baby in a manger anymore. We had the first song almost finished, but our assistant pastor, who is playing Jesus, came in and changed a lot of it. The changes were good, but the fact that we only have two more weeks is a little difficult. Also, I'm supposed to play Mary, but we have no Joseph. The guy who was going to play him can't anymore, so we have to find another. My dad thinks we should just paint him onto cardboard and stand him there. I'm thinking that since Joseph has to get up and dance during the second song, the cardboard version is not adequate. Hmm....
