    Props - Storyteller (who is Job) is covered with Band-aides and fake sores. When the narrator gets to the part where the messengers come, 3 actors, in succession, burst in the door and shout the announcements.

Exampe: "The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them: And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee."

Job acts appropriately. The kids love it when he "rends" his clothes and puts dirt in his hair!

Instead of reading all the conversations Job had with his friends, I read the following summary:

Job had three friends who had heard of all the bad times Job was going through and they all came by to visit him. They were so sad that Job was suffering that they tore their clothes and put dirt on their heads. Each friend had a long discussion with Job and scolded him because they thought he must of done something wrong to deserve his punishment. Bus this story teaches us that sometimes bad things happened to good people and we must not blame God. Then the Lord spoke to Job and Job realized that God was powerful and could do anything. God is control over all things on the earth and in Heaven.
