			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought I’d introduce you to a few of my puppets. I really enjoy writing puppet scripts, which of course, means I must make puppets to go along with them.  This is “<strong>Deplorabull</strong>” and his friend, “<strong>Imaheffer</strong>”. They were the first two puppets I made, and were in my first script. The scripts are humorous, uplifting and based on Scripture.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/deplorabull.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-834" title="deplorabull" src="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/deplorabull.jpg" alt="" width="316" height="256" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/imaheffer.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-836" title="imaheffer" src="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/imaheffer-300x239.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="239" /></a>Deplorabull was about to be put out to “pasture” because it was his last rodeo and he was depressed. His friend Imaheffer was there to cheer him on and between the two of them, and a few other friends, they explained that with God you are “<strong>Unstoppable</strong>”. It happened to be the theme for that year’s LTC.</p>
<p>They also appear in other scripts with additional farm animals to make learning about values, parables, and Scripture fun, funny, and entertaining.</p>
<p>Next, is “<strong>Sycamore</strong>” he is obviously a tree, but a tree with good roots. The flowers are, “<strong>Lifeless</strong>”, “<strong>Wilted</strong>”, and “<strong>Droopy</strong>” and they represent the parable of seeds being scattered on rocky, poor soil. In this script they are “nourished” in a fun and exciting way to show children the value of reading the Bible.  <a href="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sycamore.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-837" title="sycamore" src="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sycamore-252x300.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="300" /></a> <a href="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/flowers.jpg"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/flowers.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-838" title="flowers" src="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/flowers-300x268.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="268" /></a><br />
In the play “<strong><em>Seeds</em></strong>”, the three scarecrows and the crow are in a “deep” conversation and the crow calls them a bunch of dummies on wooden crosses, but the “dummies” get the last laugh!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/scarecrow12.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-844" title="scarecrow1" src="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/scarecrow12-300x275.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="220" /></a><a href="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/scarecrow22.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-845" title="scarecrow2" src="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/scarecrow22-275x300.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="240" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/scarecrow3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-846" title="scarecrow3" src="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/scarecrow3-300x286.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="229" /></a><a href="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/crow.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-847" title="crow" src="http://www.chiseledincloth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/crow-300x264.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="211" /></a></p>
<p>I use the scripts to help children learn how to behave in church, lessons from the Bible, what goes on in the morning services, the importance of regular attendance and how God is important in their lives. Children (and parents) are very receptive to the characters and scripts; they hardly know they are being taught!</p>
