forgiveness skit

- Skit performed in 2007 by me preceding a sermon on the topic at CrossPoint UMC, Harrisburg, PA. Skit was written by Vanessa Whitwell called "Solitary Confinement". Portuguese subtitle at • perdao monologo.avi Thanks lenademara.
The point of the skit was to define what it's like to not forgive. We all can choose to hold grudges, be angry, cast blame, and/or be resentful towards others. It ultimately binds us up with feelings and emotions that makes it hard to move on with life for the better. In this skit, the actor decides to hold on to the baggage, and letting it bind him up - controlling him - instead of forgiving. The sermon that followed the skit pulled it all together. Hope that helps explain.
I performed this skit for the first time several years ago in Toronto (2005) and I did it a few times in Hong Kong and back in Toronto again. Very powerful piece of work and always had a strong impact on the audience! The original playwright's name is Vanessa Whitwell who unfortunately passed away many years ago. She called her skit, "Solitary Confinement". I never met her but she was a beautiful woman and immensely talented! I hope this helps.
Thank you for the information! I have updated the description.
All these years I thought I was the only one in this world dealing with this, I thought I was crazy or something. Some of us have just gone through a lot, to the point that we lose our selves and not even realizing that we are also doing our selves a great disservice. All my life I carried on so much baggage from my past that it has taken over my life, I don't even like what I see or who I am. I just want to find peace, I pray, and I pray, and I cry, and cry and no change. There's a sorrow deep down that continues to mess with me when I'm trying to get better and do the right things. I don't know who and how to trust anymore, but I'm never going to give up because I was sent here for a greater purpose that is beyond my understanding, because God doesn't make mistakes. This skit is touching my heart more than these people that made, and uploaded it know.
I've really been strugglin with being bound... I am saved but I'm bound and need to be set free ... everything you said is exactly how I feel, say, and think... thank you sooo much for posting...
This is exactly what I'm struggling with right now. Because of my past, because of the people in my past, I've been struggling with doubt and lack of trust in others, including God and myself. But I'm searching for the answer. I have faith, and I know that that will take me places, and lead me to regain the trust I lost. Praise God on high for leading me to this.
I feel like this guy, Tied up ... But thats all I knew my entire life. I'm taking a like to this and I am glad it is out there..... good work
I'm wondering how you're doing now??
I'm doing better.
Stephanie Trout I was 22 years old before someone told me that Christ had already taken the penalty for my sins, if I would just accept that and follow Him. And He's led me to some amazing places. :)
Yeah I been having trouble with that.......I have a loving Boyfriend and he's helped me alot with Christ and Knowing him and such, so it just doesn't seem to register sometimes.
Stephanie Trout Forgive me, I don't quite understand what you're meaning doesn't register.
Hope you don't mind, I puted subtitles in Portuguese and republished in RUclips... Great job!
3rd time watching this and I finally get the whole thing. Thanks a lot.Awesome.
True because it will only happen again .It usually does.
I rremembered this and used some of it in a play
I know they said thank you thats all I know but thank you for the upload to.
Very well, thank you for taking the time to help me, the idea is that I want to dramatize it in my church and I want to know much more about it, I hope do not have problem, I have no problem sure?
No I don't mind at all. Thank you for your work.
Wondered if I could access the script for this??? I'm a Pastor's wife and loved this and want to do this skit out on the street perhaps??? Would that be possible?
Thank you - glad you liked it. I am very sorry, but the script went missing long ago, which is why I there is no credit to the playwright. You will have to transcribe it. Maybe I should do that someday - you aren't the first to ask for a script. Wow, your idea to do this out in the street is very interesting. I can only imagine what looks you might get from a non-captive audience. Wish you the best.
excellent, I do not speak English but I wonder if I can learn more about the after work (the sermon) and whether it's actually a parody? since I dont find the mockery or irony. thanks God bless
The only repost I see was done by the user "StickToJesus". Is that your work? I don't see or hear Portuguese.
I will find out if the sermon transcript is available.
he said: "someone please put subtitles"
Nice!...hope everything went well in your performance.
Never knew Jeff Foxworthy was tied to a chair. LMAO

We're not required by God to forgive unrepentant sinners. God is love. God is glorious. God hates sin. God doesn't forgive unrepentant sinners.
Idk if your Bible reads like mine.
I like this...and I am hard to please.
