Wow, such a hot day, I hate the heat!

Tyler:  I can take the heat, I can handle the wind, but save me from this humidity!

Morgan: You guys are going on about heat, wind, humidity . .  you don’t know you are living! . .  . My face gets all blistered and cracked in the sun!

VOG:   Oh my!

Stacy comes on stage, smiling, looking around

Stacy:  What a gorgeous day! . .  Lovely sunshine, gentle breeze, just a perfect day! . .  This is just what I prayed for!

VOG:  You are welcome!

Payton: Stacy, you saying the heat doesn’t bother you?

Stacy:   Well Payton I just wear light clothing, seems to do just fine.

Jamie:   And I suppose this wind isn't a problem either?

Stacy:   Actually Jamie the breeze helps cool me down.

Morgan, mocking:   
Exactly Stacy, and the heat and wind don’t dry and blister your skin either?

Stacy:  I find that sunscreen and lotion work just fine Morgan . .  and the humidity also keeps my skin protected.

Tyler:  Oh, humidity, . . .  OK . .  I guess, a bit.

Stacy: I find that when I come to God in prayer, in a spirit of humble dependence to him,
God provides me with all kinds of marvelous gifts.
