Baggage Husband and wife struggle over things from the past, both material and spiritual. Mostly comedy, serious ending. Summary Husband and wife in a struggle with letting go of the past.

Set may be as simple or ornate as you like. Script Jean: Honey? I'm home.

Robert: I'm in the rec room. Jean: (Enters. Looks around the room in astonishment) Robert: Whaddya think? Not bad for one afternoon eh?

Jean: (Opens mouth but no words) Robert: I cleaned out the panic boxes that we throw stuff in whenever company's coming. It was like an archeological dig. The futher into the pile I dug, the earlier the dates were on the mail. Jean: (Tries to form words, but no sound) Robert: We " ll have to pay for about three dump runs, but it " ll be worth it to have all this junk outta here once and for all. Isn't it great? Jean: Well, uh...

Robert: We can fit a ping pong table in here now. Or maybe a pool table. Jean: Honey, I wish you would have waited til I got home to... Robert: Waited?!

I've been puttin' this off for six years! I finally got off my duff to get rid of this junk, and you " re gonna complain? Jean: No Honey I appreciate it. I really do. It's just that sometimes you throw things away, that I want to keep. Like that time you tried to throw away the first gift that Suzy ever gave me for Mothers Day.

Robert: What! Gimme a break! How was I s'posed to know? I mean it was a popsicle stick with pencil marks.

Jean: She was only three and a half. To her it said: Happy Mothers Day. I love you very much. Love Suzy. Robert: Well I did apologize to both of you.

Of course she was 14 at the time and didn't have the slightest idea what the fuss was over a popsicle stick with pencil marks. Jean: Well I kept it. When she's older she " ll thank me for saving it for her. Robert: She's 24, and thinks you " re crazy. Jean: (walks over to trash can) Ok mister smart guy. (Looks inside) Robert: What are you doing?

Jean: (Reaching inside) Oh... nothing. Robert: What, are you checking my work? Jean: (Pulling out card) I knew I couldn't trust you! You know I keep my birthday cards. (Puts card in box) Robert: I don't believe you! That's from the car insurance company.

It's even computer generated. Jean: I don't care it's still a birthday card. Aa ugh! (Reaches in and pulls up a piece of cloth) What were you thinking? Robert: It's a dirty rag!

Jean: It's Jacob's first spit-up cloth. (Puts it in the box) Robert: (Looking Heavenward) Help me Lord. Jean: Oh, you " re one to talk mister throw everything away. What about that sweaty towel you " ve had since before we were married?

Robert: Hey now that's a collectors item. Jean: Right. Robert: It is! That's the towel Wilt Chamberlin had on the bench when he scored 100 points! Jean: But it smells. At least you could let me wash it.

Robert: What are you, nuts? That's Wilt the Stilt's Sweat on there! Jean: (sarcastic ly) Oh heavens we don't want to lose any basketball sweat. (Reaches into can, and pulls out ream of paper) Honey, these are the programs from Freddie's first Little League season.

That's just as important as some stilt guys sweat. Robert: That's Wilt the Stilt. I'm sorry, I just couldn't imagine why you'd keep a hundred of those things. Jean: I was going to send them to relatives... but I never got around to it. Robert: Well since you never sent them, why keep them?

Jean: I still might. Robert: Honey, that was 18 years ago. Half those relatives are dead now. Look I saved two of them. I figured we could keep an extra in case something happened to the first. Jean: Oh c'mon, what if I just keep about fifty?

(Drops half in the trashcan Robert: Five. Jean: Twenty Five? (Drops more in the can) Robert: Ten Jean: Fifteen, and that's all. You can even burn the rest. (Continues to search through trash can) Robert: C'mon Honey. You " ve got to learn to let go of the past.

You just can't live for all this material stuff from history. I mean what if the Lord were to call us into some kind of ministry work in another country? How can He use us when we " re carrying around all this extra baggage? Jean: (Casually looking through can) Oh I think the Lord could find a way to let us keep some of our moments for posterity. Robert: (Looks to the audience throws up hands in defeat) Jean: (Snatches a few more sheets of paper while he isn't looking) Oh look! Here's that old picture of you and...

(Stops suddenly. Looks at husband as if expecting anger) Robert: I don't even want to hear his name in my house, let alone see his face. Jean: But he's your sister's husband. Robert: That's her problem. Jean: But it was so long ago...

You weren't even saved yet. In fact you were both drunk when you had that fight. Robert: Look, don't bring it all up again ok? I don't need to be reminded. Jean: No I guess not.

You seem to be doing a good job of remembering all by yourself. I've held my piece about this for all these years out of respect for your feelings, but something you just said a few minutes ago really rings true. Robert: About living in the past? I've left him in the past. Jean: No not that. You asked how the Lord could use us when we " re carrying around all this extra baggage.

Robert: But I... Jean: You know you have to forgive him. Robert: But he won't have anything to do with me. Jean: That's his problem. It isn't your responsibility for him to forgive, just for you to. (Hugs him) You know I'm right.

Tell you what. You work on getting rid of your excess baggage, ... and I'll try to get rid of some of mine. Robert: Well I know that the Lord is going to have to clear the path for it. I'm going to need to work through this with prayer. He " ll let me know when the time is right to make contact. I'll deal with it when He opens the path.

Yeah. Jean: I know you can do it with His help. I'm going to make us some tea. Then I'm going to get back in here and throw away some junk.

Robert: Ok Jean: (Exits. Phone rings.) It's for you... It's your sister. Robert: (Pause) I'll take it in here. (Goes to trash can, pulls out photo, looks at it before going to phone) Hi Sis...

(Pause) Not bad, we " re all doing pretty good... (Pause) Hey uh... look could you put Jerry on the phone. (Freeze) Putting On The Armour Script Staging Information Details There are 7 people in the cast: "h 4 dressed totally in white (2 holding swords and a big shield. 2 holding nothing.) "h 2 dressed in casual clothing, sitting on park bench. "h 1 dressed in red Two are on the park bench at downstage center The four stand behind park bench at Upstage center, holding a large black cloth in front of them to shield them from the audience. Use only plain light focusing on the 2 on the bench Script Scene 1 B and C are arguing while sitting on a park bench. B: Christianity is so full of lies.

C: What makes you say that? B: Just look at the Bible, it's supposed to be God's word to humans. But, humans wrote it, and it has so many versions... NIV, KJV, Living, and others.

You have to wonder how can the original meaning has survived, there are sure to be misinterpretations. And, the churches are supposed to be the body of Christ and to love each other. But, there's all the different denominations, each with their own theories, customs, rules and regulations. For example, there's the Methodist, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Seventh Day Adventist, and many more. Some churches even accuse each other of being a cult or Satan worshipers. C: Well, you are partially right.

B: I am? Hey, what's going on here? You are supposed to be the Christian here! C: Well, we are all human.

Churches are made up of people, and people are human, we all fall short of what we are supposed to do. Christians are not perfect. B: No kidding! O.K., now, think about these Christians... how many of them are real, seems most of them live their church life separate from their weekday life. Some of them even use church as a place to attain a good social standing. Churches are full of hypocrites!

I think all the junk they say about Satan, and demons, and a spiritual life, is just a way that Christians escape from the reality of death, so they come up with all this mumbo jumbo. You see, Christians are weak people, thus the need for a religion. C: Can you hold on for just a minute? Be right back. (C kneels down and prays quietly Lord, open his eyes to see, his ears to hear and his heart to understand. Amen (speaks to B) Do you really want the truth?

The real truth... B: Sure. If you can show me proof I will probably believe in God too. C: O.K., now.

Are you ready to go on a trip? B: Sure where, to? McDonalds? C: Nope!! Just close you eyes and hold my hand. Scene 2 Lights off for 10 seconds The 4 in white stand up and cover the bench with the black cloth.

C changes into a white costume like the others, holding a sword and shield. B changes into a black dress with a heavy bag on his back. B: Can I open my eyes now? C: Father, I pray that you will open my friend's eyes, so He can see what is hidden from him, so that he may believe. B: Hey, are you praying? Don't waste your prayer on me.

It will not happen! Now, then. Can I open my eyes now? B and C stand up. Change the lighting to dark blue. C: OK, but turn around slowly.

B: Wow, where are we? C: We are still on the bench in the park. B: Oh no, we are not! This does not look like the park at all, and I am not sitting! C: This is the spiritual side of the same place. B: (Looks around and falls to the ground in fear) What happened to you?

How did you get that sword and shield, and when did you change your clothes? Hey, when did I change my clothes? B: (As he looks around he sees the other 4) And who are they? C: Don! |t be scared.

(C helps B to his feet) Let me explain. I have been praying for you for a long time now. I thank God for giving me this opportunity to show you what I see. Firstly we are all spiritual beings, as you can see. We do exist and we are real. B: Wait!

Let me pinch myself. Ouch, that hurts! OK, so I! |m not dreaming! C: The 4 people you see are Christians just like me. We are from different churches. The ones holding the swords and shields are Christians who have learned to use the armor that God has given us.

The others are new Christians who have yet to learn about the amour. The sword is the Bible. You see, the Bible was written by man, but inspired by God. It is used to correct us and to defend us from the evil that surrounds us, as you can plainly see.

The Bible comes in different versions because human culture has changed, and we have so many different languages, thus the need for different Bibles. But the content of the Bible is still the same. We believe in Jesus, the Son of God, who died on the cross to take away our sin, and who gives us eternal life. The shield is our faith in Jesus, and in his promises found in the Bible.

B: Won't those new Christians get hurt in a fight? They have nothing to fight with. C: We Christians protect each other. We cover them with our prayer, and protect them until they have learn to use their God-given weapons. The 2 Christians with swords come close to the 2 new Christians as the demon approaches them. Demon: : (creeps up behind B) Don't listen to what he says!

B: (Turns around, sees the demon, runs behind C in fear) Who the hell is that?? Demon: Hell is right my friend. I have been with you for a very long time and we have had a lot of fun together. How can you forsake me now? B: I have never known you... Get him off me!

C: Go away and do not disturb the plan God has for his life... Demon: But He belongs to me and I have all authority on him and you can do nothing to me. C: (pointing the sword at the demon) It is written that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus. And you have been defeated by the blood of the Lamb. I am a child of God and in Jesus name I have the authority over you.

Demon: What makes you think he will believe you... this is just a nightmare. Boy, remember this is just a dream. We are not over yet. After this he is still mine. (Demon exits from the stage, laughing) B: What was that all about... When did I belong to that freak?

C: God placed you into this world, you are born to your parents. As you grow, your parents and the world influences you, and as you begin to believe in what they say you reject God and you begin to sin. You soon get so comfortable with that sin that eventually you don! |t even realize you are carrying it. (As C points to the bag behind B.) The demon's job is to make sure you continue to remain in that state until you die so that he can take you to Hell with him and claim you as his trophy.

He is the one placing all the wise ideas in your head so that you reject the calling of Jesus in your life. (B tries to take the bag off but fails) C: Jesus has tried to reach out to you before. He wants to give you a life to the fullest so that you can live this life on earth with him and together explore all the wonders that He has created for you. But you have rejected him. Throughout all this Jesus has never given up hope for you. He will do anything to make you His, but he does not force you.

The choice is yours to make. You must choose to believe in him instead of the demon and accept His gift for you on the cross so that you can be free from Satan's hold. B: How do I get this sin off me? I don! |t want to go to Hell. I want a better life.

Please help me! C: There is only one person who can remove that burden and He is Jesus. First you have to go to the cross. He will meet you at the empty cross. (C points to the cross) (A blue light shines on a cross on the far left / right side of the stage) (B walks to the cross and at the cross falls on his knees. The four Christians surround B to protect him as he begins to pray.

The red demon comes in and starts to jump about screaming around the Christians.) B: Jesus I don! |t know what to say. Just that I am sorry for what I have done and the hurt I have caused you. All I want is for you to walk with me and guide me. Teach me Jesus, about what I must do. Forgive me Jesus for all my sins.

Make me yours Lord... make me yours. (The demon runs screaming off the stage. The Christians kneel down together with B) Voice: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. For I know the plans I have for you, ... plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you", declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. "Come now, let us reason together", ... "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

(B raises up, dressed in white and the burden is off this back) Thank you Lord for indeed you are a God of Love and compassion.
