Where Are We Going

Missions Enterprise Flight 101 is about to take off.

Thing is, it seems no one understands where they are going, or why!

Do you know the way? Do we just prepare for missions in a general way or do we REALLY PREPARE for missions. Do we know where we are going / Who we are going to teach and share with? Do we know all there is to know about each unique situation? If not, why not!

The Missions Enterprise

(Scene: A busy airport terminal. The Public Address Announcer speaks into the intercom while travelers pass by.)

PA ANNOUNCER (reading from clipboard): Ladies and gentlemen, this will be your final boarding announcement for Flight 101, The Missions Enterprise. All passengers should now be on board through Departure Lounge L on the Green Concourse.

The Missions Enterprise is now departing for Hangawalla, Binga-Banga, and Rimmey-Timmey, with connections for points east.

(A Lady approaches the PA Announcer, snatches the clipboard.)

LADY: Young man, exactly what do you mean “departing for Hangawalla, Binga-Banga, and Rimmey-Timmey, with connections for points east”?!

Why, everyone knows The Missions Enterprise is going to Willa-Wanka, Billy-Bonka, and Tebbu-Terry, with connections for points south!

(A Man approaches, grabs the clipboard from the Lady.)

MAN: You are both wrong! It’s not Hangawalla, Rimmey-Timmey, Billy-Bonka, or any of those other places!

Why, it is common knowledge that The Missions Enterprise heads non-stop to Fifi-Marno, and from there on to Simmbaleena, Philliboxer, and Freely-Froolly, with connections to points north!

(A Youth steps in, shaking their head.)

YOUTH: You older people really do try to complicate things, don’t you?

I have it on good information that The Missions Enterprise is bound for New-Olderplace, Welcomeback, and Tiny-Whereneeded, with connections to points west! Really!

(A Janitor walks by, overhearing the commotion, and stops.)

JANITOR: What’s everyone arguing about? I mean, what does it matter where The Missions Enterprise is heading? Like, big deal!

PA ANNOUNCER: Look, I should know! And I tell you it’s Hangawalla, Binga—

LADY: You heard me! Willa-Wanka, Billy—

MAN: I’m a world traveler! I ought to know! Fifi-Marno, Simmbal—

YOUTH (stamping foot): New-Olderplace! New-Olderplace! New-Olderplace!

JANITOR: East, west, north, south! Who cares?! Really! Much ado about nothing!

Has someone got a globe? Let’s just spin it and we’ll go wherever it stops!

OK, now then, I’ll close my eyes and I’ll point to a spot on the globe.

You’ll see, this will be great!

(The Janitor spins the globe, then points at a spot.)

JANITOR: There! There’s our ideal destination!
