Talking to herself throughout

(Confident)

Okay then, here I go! I'm off to evangelize the world! Well, (blushing), maybe not the entire world today, but at least to my city!
I've got great walking shoes and my Bible.
That's all I need to show the unsaved that God loves them!
All right then, I'm off!

(very briefly exits stage, slowly back onstage)

I forgot my bus schedule! Where is my head! Okay, I've got my walking shoes, my Bible, and my bus schedule. Got everything I need to get these people saved!

(very briefly exits stage for a couple seconds, slowly back onstage)

Hey, wait a minute. What exactly am I going to say?

(Tries to think, brushes it off)

Oh, I'll think of something later.

After all, I'll be filled by the spirit of the Lord, right?

(Quietly)

I think that's what the Bible says.

(Confident again)

Anyway, I've been a Christian for seven years now, so I know I can just call on my experience to help me through!

Besides, (wisely), he that knows there is an ocean because he has seen a brook has true faith.

That's from Matthew, somewhere (digging through Bible) . . . or . . . . (looking puzzled) was it on a bumper sticker?
