Lessons from an acting career

Lilia Skala

Note to readers: It's interesting to find parallels with specific lives of the past and our own lives. This is especially true of biblical characters whose awareness centuries ago of God's presence corroborates the good we discover today.

The author of this article has a successful theater and film career. She recently shared some thoughts on how she correlated the Bible story of David with challenges found on entering the world of the theater in America. Most readers may not be contemplating an acting career. But the narrative, showing the application of specific truths and attitudes learned from the Bible and study of Mrs. Eddy's writings, may be of interest and can certainly be interpreted in a broader context.

One of the best-known characters in the Old Testament was quite an entertainer, though we may not usually think of him that way. As a young man he was a singer and instrumentalist, composed his own music and lyrics, and fulfilled at least one mission of the entertainment profession, to refresh an audience.
