Students offer insight of dramatic production

“I related most with Zachariah. When an angel came and said his wife and he would have a child in their old age, he doubted this blessing. Sometimes in my own life I doubt things that I hear or decisions that I have made.”
 

Don’t we all?
 
... the Jewish Zealots
 
“I think I can identify a little with the Jewish Zealots. I can understand their resentment towards Rome’s oppressive rule. Today in America we are not serfs forced to labor in the fields or factories, nor are we abused by those charged with protecting us and keeping order. But our current administration is filled with people who only care for their own personal gain, and their dream of a new world order.”
 
From time to time, we all feel resentment toward the government.

“I don’t like being mean to people; I try to make friends. I also like to help people in need.”
 
What an interesting response, eh? Would that we all replace meanness with kindness this Christmas season.
