Run the Race
A puppet skit for two - Ronnie & Don
R. What are you reading ?
D. I'm reading from the Bible , Hebrews 12:1&2 "let us run with perseverance the
race marked out for us."
R. Well I'm ready to run.
D. Run what ?
R. Run with Percy.
D. Percy who ?
R. Percy Verance.
D. Oh Ronnie, "perseverance" isn't a person. It means to keep going when things
are hard or difficult.
R. Well they're hard at the moment. I've been training twice a day for the last week....and I'm also on a high fibre diet ! I'm getting ready for
the next Olympics. I just haven't figured out which event I should enter.
D. Ronny you can't just compete in the Olympics after training for one week. Athletes train for months or years on end.
R. Is that painful ? .. on your end ?
D. Did you realize there is only one difference between "go for gold !" and "go for God!"
R. No-el
D. It makes all the difference who you put first in your life. Gold or God.
R. ..And running with Percy.
D. That's right. Who knows maybe one day there might be a "puppet Olympics" and you could be in it.
R. If I keep on training...I might even carry the torch.
D. (aside) You could just use your nose. {Ronny has a bright red nose}
R. You can talk. Well I've got to run ....can I say that ?
D. Would you like to join us in saying "The Peace" with us
today.
R. Like passing the torch ?
D. OK Ron - "Go for God... and also with you !"
