[GREEN THUMB takes the watering can and heads toward the onstage plant.]
HANDY: So, when do you think we might get the call?
PEP: [looking at GREEN THUMB watering the plant] Maybe someone already has.
GREEN THUMB: [looking up] Who, me?
PEP: Well, what are you doing right now?
GREEN THUMB: Um…watering a plant.
JUSTICE: And you just watered the fichus down the hall.
GREEN THUMB: Yeah, but it wasn't like I heard some voice say [in deep, booming, solemn
tones] "Behold. Go now even unto Sunday school this very day and watereth all the plants, for
lo, they thirsteth."
PEP: Maybe not, but why did you water them?
GREEN THUMB: Because I really love plants.
PEP: And?
GREEN THUMB: And they needed a drink.
PEP: See? Something you truly care about met a real need. And you did something about it.
That's what hearing the call is all about.
ALL: Cool. Wow. Etc. [GREEN THUMB smiles, pleased.]
BUSY B: Do you think God might at least call me to do something I'm good at? Like
straightening my room, turning in my homework on time, making sure…
THEO: [interrupts] Your call will definitely be something God knows you can do. It may not
always be easy, but…
ALL: It's always, always right!
HANDY: Yeah, but what about those of us who can't do anything?
WHAT IF: What if you don't start with what you think you can or can't do. Start with what
matters
to you. What is something you truly care about?
HANDY: Music.
WHAT IF: Great! Maybe you can inspire others by singing in the choir.
