Well today was quite the day! We set out up a nearby gravel road with the idea that by the end of the day, we would have filmed 13 discussion segments. Some of these segments were 3 minutes long, while others were nearly 10. To say the least, we had our work cut out for us.
By lunch time, we had only filmed two of these segments. We drove back to school, ate, and headed back up to film some more. By the time we were seated on the set and ready to go, we had four hours to film 11 more discussions. Mr. Richards gave us a little pep talk, and we kicked in to high gear. Through an absolute miracle, we finished the last segment as our light ran out. The camera men said that we could not have filmed another five minutes if we wanted to; just having the light we had was providential because the whole day it had been overcast and sprinkling on and off, but as we entered the last half hour or so of filming, the skies cleared just enough to give us the light we needed!
In talking with Mr. Richards afterward, he said that there have been many times in the years past where there was the threat that not all the filming necessary would get done in a day, but each time he had known it was possible. Today, he said, he honestly thought that we would go home with a job unfinished.
None of this is credit to us; it was all an answer to our prayers. I must say that there is one thing that I saw today in a new light, and that is faith! Our class and the supporting staff had faith that God would send a miracle.
Mr. Richards summed it all up when he said this sentence to our class as we sat on the set, cold and anxious: "Guys, this is impossible, so let's do it!"
