"Where is she?" Time is a virtue and daylight is not on our side. We've gathered here today to hear this stranger's cry of restored hope but she is not here. The music has been inspirational and moving but if you are using this as a stale then we are not going to stay. Bring her out or we will believe God to be asleep just like her is. Is that it? Jesus has not risen so she has skipped town for not being able to stand against. Go bring her out!!!"
"I didn't realize she wasn't here. Let me wake her. Just stay here. I'll make haste."
"This better be worth it or else we've been singing to a silent grave."
"Guys I promise you she is not dormant nor skipped town. She has just overslept because of tireless preparation. She..sh..she…..I'll go."
"Star!!! Star!!! Was it your aim to make me look like a fool in the middle of the whole town?"
"Rhea...where are you? The water is barely hiting the ground."
"Come on. You best have a good explanation for oversleeping?"
"It's only eight o clock."
"So!!"
"Back above the surface Church doesn't start until ten in some instances and not until eleven in others."
"That be true but what about the prechurch meetings where the pastors meet with parents, servers, the band and others hours before Church starts to make sure the day goes smoothly?"
"Ohh. I never thought about those hours before."
"That's because you are always sleeping. Now come on."
"Wait..wait...wait!!! My Notes!! Where are my shoes?"
"Uhh….put those on."
"Those are the gospel of peace shoes. I'm not yet fit for those at a time like this."
"I think that this is the best situation where peace can be brought out. Let's move with all haste please. I hope that drunkenness has worn off because if not then we are in big trouble."
"In the Bible Jesus was labeled as a drunkered and a possessed man. He was always overtired and slept whenever He could and felt that was comfortable."
"This is not the time to make jokes. That was last night but the nigh has passed."
"Sorry. Will try not to slip up again."
"Thank you. Wash yourself up quickly so that you can look moderately presentable and I'll introduce you to everyone."
"Give me ten minutes please!"
"You have four!!"
"So, where is she? Have you come back with no one?"
"You cannot hasten the message God gives to a messenger. They need to pray on our behalf before they begin. Have patience!!"
"Our patience is wearing thin. If she doesn't come out then we'll have to go in there and tear her from her bed."
"Please succumb to your inner earges. Are you animals or savage beasts roaming the earth. No, you are set apart in the likeness of God and if He can have patience for all our needs then why can't you?"
"Get out of the way Rhea. We all know why you are here. If we can't have her blood on our hands then we will have yours. Aaaghhhh!!!!"
"Stop!!! You lay a hand on her then I'll have your head on my sword!!"
"Woo woo!! Okay, just drop the sword slowly like. Would you honestly kill an unarmed man."
"Wouldn't be the first time I've used this sword for that purpose and certainly will not be the last. The blood on this sword is not only from one victim that chose to start an aimless fight against one of my sheep but from multiple. I know that my parents would rather wish I stayed out of conflict but everytime one of my dogs, my friends, my family, and even people I have yet to become acquainted with get into a fight then I am the one who is in the middle stopping it before it can pick up. Why? Although I personally sit on the sidelines and others rather watch something happen; that is not me. When a squabble breaks out I cannot have that. No longer can my feet sit on the outskirts looking in. I may be the interceder physically down here on earth but Jesus intercedes on our behalf everyday when the forces of darkness decide to fight us. So it is only by the grace of God that I stand here with you today. I may not start fights but I sure as hell always aim to end them. Now sit down and shut up or else next time I catch you; mercy will not be so easily awarded but instead the taste of my sword!!!!"
"Sixth, thank you for saving me but I could have taken him."
"I'm sure you probably could have but I rather risk my life because I know my limits instead of risking the lives of two people who I don't know their limits."
"Well thank you but Star!! You are barely dressed."
"Who cares about my attire when a fight breaks out. That is more important. Now all of you please have patience and let me prepare. Thank you."
"Sixth, you can be certain that none of them will break out again. Just look at them. You have put the fear of God in them and not in a healthy way either."
"I'm glad. LET THIS BE A LESSON FOR ANYONE WHO DARE MESS WITH MY SHEEP!!!"
"If your speech is just as powerful as your sword then I know that convincing them that God lives will not be hard. If they don't already believe then something is majorily wrong."
"I would do it again in a heartbeat."
"Hurry back now."
"Rhea, I just talked about patience. Does that not apply to you?"
"Go get changed."
"With pleasure!!"
"Told you all she was one that's worth being patient for. Now who wants to hear about God now!! How about you?"
"She's just a girl, nothing more."
"Suit yourself but as I see it, don't any of you want the same spirit in her to live within you?"
