Scene 7
JAKE: Miss Sherry, are you going to stick around for our game against
the Knights?
JENNA: Yeah …
JAMIE: … you should.
MILLIE: We're going to need all the "faith" we can get. You can cheer us
on.
SHERRY: I think you guys will do great. Remember, it isn't always the
superstars that God uses to amazing things! Who knows?
MRS. PASTOR: It seems awfully quiet out here. Is it the seventh inning
stretch or what?
SAM: Oh no, we've been talking about the "Big Inning."
MILLIE: And, the people in the Hall of Faith!
LUCAS: And Jesus, who never struck out!
SHERRY: You know, you guys need to come on Sundays. There are so
many more cards in that box, and I'd love to show them to you
… there's David, boy could he swing it, and Rahab who helped
bring them home safe, and Joshua who had the dream job …
MRS. PASTOR: And, did you kids read what I wrote underneath the lid for
Sherry? That's my favorite part!
SHERRY: I saved that for last, Mom.
RYAN: What does it say on the lid?
SHERRY: Read it to us, Millie.
MILLIE: Hebrews 12:1 and 2. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such
a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that
hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run the
bases (Miss Sherry and Mrs. Pastor look quizzically at each other at
the mention of "the bases") with perseverance on the base path
marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and
perfecter of faith.
(music begins to "Suit Up, Get in the Game, Don't Quit")
