Three Minutes....

I just came home from a two hour drama practice with our student drama team.  We are learning a human video for our service tomorrow night to the song "One More Day" by Jackson Waters, which happens to be one of my favorite bands.  Anyway, we've been doing this series called "Epic" for the past three weeks, tomorrow night will wrap it up.  Last week, if you've been reading, you'll remember we went to see "Prince Caspian" as it went right with our theme that we are all part of a larger picture, a story that started long before we were ever though of, and will come to and end very soon.  Tomorrow night we will wrap up the series with a message called "The Kingdom Restored"; a message about Heaven.  Our human video should work nicely with it.  I couldn't help but think as this group of students worked so hard and spent hours to learn this human video that will last all of three minutes, if it was truly worth it.  I hate to admit it, but in my line of work, that thought crosses my mind a lot, especially in video production.  Mostly because making videos is laborious for me, it's not my favorite thing to do, and it takes forever.  I remember one time I spend 16 hours on a video that lasted 45 seconds....not sure if that one was worth it.  However, the truth is that the time we spend on something like this, if it is to further the Kingdom; to touch a life, it's so worth it.  The truth is that hours on our part, to give three minutes to others can change their life forever.  And if tomorrow night it changes just one life, it will be so worth it.
