Have you ever heard the phrase, "There are no small roles, only small actors?"
It’s a reminder that we all have an important "part" to play in one another’s lives this Christmas season, even if our "part" isn’t exactly the one we were hoping for!
A church was putting on a Christmas pageant which included the story of Mary and Joseph coming to the inn. One boy wanted so very much to be Joseph, but when the parts were handed out, a boy he didn’t like was given that role, and he was assigned to be the inn-keeper instead.
He was pretty upset about this, but he didn’t say anything to the director. During all the rehearsals, he thought about what he might do the night of performance to get even with this rival who got to be Joseph.
He wants to be a pilot and dreams of being able to fly, but it doesn’t matter to him if it’s in the clouds or floating in space.
To become a pilot would be a dream come true for the 12-year-old, who said he is soaking up everything he can in science class and always makes A-pluses on his tests in the subject.
Hutcheson said he wanted to attend Rose State College’s Kids Camp for something to do, but more importantly, to help him achieve his dream.
At 11:45 a.m., Monday through Friday, children form a line inside the Midwest City YMCA basketball gym.
They wait patiently, some more quiet than others, to be handed their brown paper sack lunches.
On Monday, bags were filled with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, fruit and string cheese.
Then there was the choice of beverages to drink: either milk or chocolate milk.
Laura Schwartz, the summer feeding worker at the YMCA, said the chocolate milk is the first to go. It can be difficult to get children to drink the "white" stuff, so she has had to get crafty and only put out a certain number of chocolate milk cartons, she said.
OK, now her secret is out, but shhhh... don't tell the boys and girls.
It's a good thing the speed limit down Sunnylane Road is 40 miles per hour because if it were any faster you might miss one of Del City's almost-hidden treasures, J.T.'s Bar B Que & Catering at 505 S. Sunnylane Road. It's not just the ambience of the parking lot surrounded by large shade trees but also the homey, inviting indoor décor. And if you're not wooed by the antiques and eclectic touches then the aroma of heavy smoke will win you for sure.
"My wife has great taste, she decorates everything herself, she and my niece just redecorated the place," J.T. Moon said.
J.T.'s Bar B Que is very much a family enterprise. Moon, his wife Susan and daughters Misty and Angie have been serving up southern style barbecue since they moved to Del City in June 1994. Misty still fills in part time despite her duties as a registered nurse at Integris Baptist Medical Center, and Angie lives in Indiana but helps when she is visiting "home".
