Characters: Ron (Junior high boy who loves Jesus and cares for his sister)
Jenny (Rons sister, getting ready to go to college)
Setting: Jennys room (stage left) Jenny is folding clothes and putting them in a suitcase.
(Knock on door)
JENNY: Yeah?
RON: Jenny, its me, can I come in?
JENNY: Sure, Ron (Ron Enters) I'm just packing.
RON: (Sits on the floor next to her) Sure is going to be quiet around here with you away at college.
JENNY: (Gives Ron an older-sister-look and playful punch on the arm) And you'll have to make your own peanut butter sandwiches. You know you can.
RON: (smiling) Yeah, but theyre the best when you make them.
(Short silence, Jenny is still folding stuff)
RON: So have you thought about finding a church to go to while youre at college?
JENNY: (stops packing, then shrugs) Not really, I'll probably be too busy. College work doesn't leave much time for religion. (resumes packing)
RON: It's not religion I'm talking about.
(At this point, Jenny stops packing. She's starting to get defensive and sarcastic)
JENNY: What, you just wanna know where I am on Sunday mornings?
RON: (looking her in the eye) Come on, Jenny, it's all about a relationship with God through Jesus. College is tough; He can help you through whatever comes.
JENNY: (increasingly ticked) Who do you think you are?
RON: I just want to know there's Someone taking care of you!
JENNY: I dont wanna hear that! I can take care of myself! (sighs in frustration) I think it's time you left my room. (turns away from Ron and resumes packing)
RON: (leaves sadly, leans against the wall outside Jennys room) Father, please take care of my sister. Touch her in a way only You can (head bows, freeze)
JENNY: (looks up from her packing) God, what am I doing?
(3-second freeze)
