The untouchables

Leave a Comment
I went for the Footstool Players performance called "the Runaway Bride"
read more about it here.

It was pretty cool...funny but really brought out its message well. And it was played by only four people. Now AFC has no excuse not to do their dances/dramas..muahaha...cos they always complain that there are not enough people...chis...

This is testimony against that excuse...

One of the plays within the play *it has several plays in one* brought out a message that has been a cause close to my heart for a long long time. Its called THE UNTOUCHABLES about four people *out of many examples* - society's untouchables - who are looking for a place to be accepted, asking whether there is a place in your church for them. The one that i am concerned about is the one with AIDS...

Ee Soon Wei brought the hurt and anger of that AIDs-ridden man very well *not to mention that he is totally super cute* He brought up things like the media and medical people have made it well known that AIDs cannot be communicated to others by a mere hug or handshake or a conversation. In fact, the AIDS-infected person is more susceptible to get something from the one who gives him a hug or a handshake or through conversation or even by being in the same room as he.

So he lives with this deficiency in his immune system and also a deficiency in love.

This is a cause for concern. This is MY cause for concern. That these people, God's children, who Jesus died for...*yes! Jesus died for the world, not just Christians* live out the rest of their lives miserable and yearning for love.

Right now, i am not at a level where i can freely donate my time or money to help/aid this cause, but i'm doing my best to make it known that everybody needs a little love sometime...especially those who are living everyday like the next might be their last.
