“Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Teach them to observe all things that I have commanded you.  And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:19-20

We believe that we have been called to use the gifts God has given us to reach unbelievers for Him and to encourage, and build up His Church.

Bella Point, Fryeburg

I'm  not sure how Bella Point defines itself, but it is no longer a nursing home as it once was when it was named Fryeburg Health Care.  Now the clientelle is often younger, ambulatory, and lucid.  Perhaps a rehabilitation institute is the best definition.  Regardless, I had one of my most memorable shows of this summer there recently.  It was memorable because I met a young man who was a patient there who had previously been an activity director at a different but similar facility in New Hampshire, where I have performed several times in the past.  It's memorable because I juggled very very well.  But mostly it's memorable becasue it was so hot.  

You see, Maine tends not to get all that hot, even in the summer; at least not compared to other places I've performed in the summer: South Carolina, Virginia, Africa, Mexico, the Dominican Republic.  But occaisionally it does crack 90 degrees, and it is often very humid since we are a coastal state, and such was the case this particular day.  Also, although I don't like to admit it I'm getting less young every summer (Okay, I'll use the O word: I'm getting older.)  I just don't have the tolerence for heat like I used to.  But as I mentioned, I juggled very well, even if I was soaked in sweat before my first routine ended.

Furthermore, to protect from covid-19, the show was outdoors, and set up in their parking lot.  In ther defense, it was set up where the shade was when I arrived, just not where it was when the show began.  I do need to point out that the residents were all seated under tents, providing them shade.  

As the show progressed, I got a bit light headed, and I actually cut my final routine (which would have included fire juggling.  Sorry it was hot enough already.) In truth, I was feeling very weak and light headed as I picked up my props.  But I opened all four windows of my little VW Jetta, and was feeling a lot better when I got home.  After a nap, I was back to normal, and I hope the folks there were blessed in spite of it all.
