Movin' on up...

So, word is getting around that I am going to be the esteemed Thomas Jefferson in the parade on Thursday. In fact, at church on Sunday there was a group of people talking about it backstage. The conversation (as relayed to me by my worship pastor) went something like this:

JH (the assistant worship Pastor): We have a bunch of our actors in the Macy's Parade.

Nelson (the teaching Pastor): Really? Like who.

JH: Well, Tracey Clem is going to be in it.

Nelson: What's she doing?

JH: She's going to be George Jefferson.

Nelson: (pause) She's going to be who?

JH: (with all seriousness) George Jefferson!

Later that morning, a similar conversation took place between Nelson and Jason, the aforementioned Worship Pastor. Jason mentioned that I was going to be in the parade, and Nelson said, "Now, who is she going to be?" Jason said, correctly, "Thomas Jefferson." Nelson said he spent all morning trying to figure out how a tall, blond, white girl got cast as George Jefferson.

So, in case anyone out there is confused (because, obviously, it can happen), I have created a cheat sheet for the Parade. Please feel free to print this out and carry it with you on Thursday.


This is THOMAS Jefferson



This is GEORGE Jefferson


Any questions?
