Summary:

Familiar stories are given a fresh twist as kids learn to see God as He really is!

Reporter Jordan Prenn is used to dealing with the facts: she's not sure about a God you can't see, hear or touch.  But when her scientist uncle invents a time machine out of a church (which runs on praise), she travels back in time to catch glimpses of God in ways she never expected!

Excerpt (Sample)


Jordan:            (running in, out of breath) Uncle Phil, I'm here!  Where are you? 


Phil:                 (shouting from offstage) I'll be there in just a minute Jordan.


(Phil and Jerry talk offstage)

 

Phil:                 You stay right here boy. I'll call you when I'm ready.


Jerry:               Why can't we tell her now? 


Phil:                 Because we need to do this slowly.  Jordan is going to have enough to deal with as it is.  Let's do this one thing at a time, okay?


Jordan:            (looking around, getting suspicious) Uncle Phil, who are you talking to?  What's going on?


Phil:                 (offstage) I'm coming dear.  Give me a second.


Jerry:               I don't want to wait anymore.  I've been waiting all my life.  I want to talk to her now!  (he pops up, but Jordan is facing the other way and doesn't see him)


Phil:                 (pops up after Jerry and pushes him down) No!  I said not yet!


Jerry:               I can't wait! (pops up again


Phil:                 (pushes him down again) You're gonna have to!


(Scuffling is heard from backstage, along with some groans and dog barks.)

 

Jordan:            (turns toward the noises concerned) Uncle Phil, are you all right?


Phil:                 (enters, straightens his clothes a bit, smoothes his hair) Yes, dear I'm fine.  Sorry to keep you waiting. 


Jordan:            I heard voices.  Who were you talking to?


Phil:                 Oh that, it was nothing.  I forgot to feed the dog and he wasn't too happy about it that's all.  (howling is heard from offstage) Everything is fine.

Jordan:            If you say so.  So, what's up Uncle Phil?  You call me and tell me you've got big news, and that I should get over to the church right away.  I came as fast as I could.  What's going on?  What's the big news? Why did you ask me to meet you at the church?


Phil:                 You sure do ask a lot of questions Jordan.


Jordan:            I'm a reporter Uncle Phil.  That's my job, remember?  Now, spill it!  What's the big news?


Phil:                 Remember that big project I've been working on?


Jordan:            The top secret project you've been working on for the last five years? The one you've dedicated your heart and soul to finishing?  Yeah, I remember!


Phil:                 Well, I finally did it! I completed the project.  I invented something that's going to change people's lives.  I'm hoping it will change your life Jordan.


Jordan:            (anxiously awaiting) Well, what is it?  What did you invent? Tell me!


Phil:                 I invented a time machine. 


Jordan:            A time machine?  I don't believe it!


Phil:                 It's true.  I invented a real life time machine and it really works!


Jordan:            Where is it?  I want to see it!


Phil:                 You're looking at it.


Jordan:            Where?


Phil:                 Right here.


Jordan:            This is a church.


Phil:                 I know.  This is the time machine.


Jordan:            You built a time machine out of a church?


Phil:                 I figured it would be just as good as anything else. 


Jordan:            How does it work?


Phil:                 It runs off of praise.


Jordan:            Praise?


Phil:                 Yes.  Any type of praise to God: music, songs, prayers, words of thankfulness--any kind of praise to God. 


Jordan:            That's crazy!


Phil:                 It's not!  It works!


Jordan:            So, you start singing...


Phil:                 Praising.


Jordan:            Okay, praising then.  You start praising and you can go back in time?


Phil:                 Pretty much, yes.  You have to specify where you want to go of course, but once you decide, you let the praises fly, and "Poof!" you're there.


Jordan:            What do you see once you're there?


Phil:                 That's what I want to show you.


Jordan:            Me?  No way!  I'm not going anywhere in this thing!


Phil:                 What happened to the reporter in you Jordan?  Don't you want to be a part of the scoop of the century?


Jordan:            Sure, this is big news, but...


Phil:                 But what?


Jordan:            I don't know that much about God Uncle Phil.  He's so mysterious.  I can't see Him, I can't hear Him, I can't touch Him.  How do you know He even exists?


Phil:                 Oh, I know He does, and that's what I want to show you.  I invented this time machine for you Jordan, and others like you-people who aren't so sure.  I want to give you a glimpse of God so you can get to know Him better.
