There's something about improvisation that has always tickled my fancy. I absolutely love comedic improv because it proves how truly funny a person can be on the fly. It demonstrates that when we have the least amount of time to think that we are often the most thoughtful, humorous or passionate as our most pure and genuine responses are allowed to have free reign. In life, we often get the opportunity to hone in our improvisational skills but rarely take advantage of them. When life changes suddenly we get to rely on the skills God has given us to make quick decisions that influence the outcome of the rest of our lives. We don't get to be in this stage of life very long and every second matters as we attempt to make a good impression on the rest of the audience and bring any sort of glory to the Kingdom of God. I believe, as Christians, we have a tendency to over think God's will for our lives. We believe that we are only able to make good decisions with hours upon hours of study, deliberation, and meditation when frequently there are situations that just don't allow for that kind of a decision making process. Obviously there are exceptions, but at some point we have to utilize the improv skills of our soul so we can quickly take in our situation and act naturally before our minds get in the way of our faith. That's really all I can say about this topic for now although I feel it's much deeper than what I've said. Just check out this link and tell me that God hasn't created us to utilize the wonderful capacity for improving moments in life.

(some of the language is intense from R-rated movies so sensitive ears should shy away from this one.)
ummm love this. and sometimes we can rehearse and rehearse for an expected situation but then when it's time to perform it's not what we thought. Live is a series of choices, perhaps it is also a series of reactions.
