Hugh and I worked together for almost a year at The Great Passion Play and Source of Light, to the point where people couldn't keep the right name with the right person. We were constantly being called by the other's name, skills confused and credit for work done allotted to the wrong person. We laughed at some of the mix-ups and had a lot of fun with the confusion. Pastor Darrell at the church we all attended here in ES greeted me as Hugh last Sunday, so the legacy continues.
When we came back to ES, we left Hugh and LaVon in Madison. Some people there were upset that the piano player was leaving, but the piano player stayed and some even were sad that Hugh and Karen were leaving, when in reality Hal and Karen were leaving and Hugh and LaVon and Earl (their cat) were staying. Earl was even confused and has been confused about the loss of a second home to visit, and where his aunt and uncle have gone. Needless to say, we upset the apple cart.
To make matters worse, I now am working with Pop who was here in Eureka Springs last year and stayed the whole winter to maintain buildings and equipment. I enjoy working with Pop, but his real name is Harold, and while people call me Hal, my given name is also Harold. Only a few people call Pop Harold and virtually no one calls me Harold, but can you imagine the confusion if we both decide to have everyone call us Harold and then Hugh decides to show up again and we all work together as we did often last summer at TGPP. Pop and I work well together, as did Hugh and I. What it really boils down to is that we are working for The Lord, with the abilities He has given us and no matter how confusing it may be to those we work with, God knows our names, keeps us focused on the bigger picture and wants us to praise His Name by the work we do and the call He has placed on each of us. Thank you brother Hugh, thank you brother Harold, and Thank You Lord.
