PENNY:
OK Surfer Bob, you look like you’re doing
something special, so what’s on today’s
agenda?
SURFER BOB: Oh
I just wanted to… (giggle) introduce somebody
to ya. I ran into her while I was surfin’
‘round the world. (sigh)
PENNY:
Hummmmm. This is new … and you are acting
a little strange. What’s going on? And who
is going to be our special guest?
SURFER BOB:
(sigh) Oh just someone I met while I was surfin’
‘round the world. (sigh)
PENNY:
You said that already Bob-o. And judging from
the way you’re acting, she must have made
quite an impression!
SURFER BOB: Wha
… oh, uh … right … uh, our special
guest. Ummm … well, her name is Ms. Jeni
Varnadeau. And she’s a wonderful Christian
artist who … who sings so wonderfully and
is just so wonderful to everyone she comes in
contact with …
PENNY: (to
camera) I don’t think I’ve ever seen
Surfer Bob act like this! Hey, Bob! Earth to Bob!
Come in, Bob?! (to camera again) Well, if I am
ever going to meet Jeni Varnadeau … I can
see that I am going to have to take matters into
my own hands. So while Surfer Bob is off in ‘La
La Land,’ I’ll just type in a few
commands here … and see what I can do.
JENI:
Hello? Is this thing on? Surfer Bob … are
you there?
SURFER BOB: Oh!
Uh … hello Ms. Varnadeau. Ummm, hi. Uh …
I would like to introduce you to my favorite Web
pal, Penny. Penny, this is … Ms. Varnadeau.
JENI:
Oh, Surfer Bob, call me Jeni! Hello, Penny. It
is nice to finally get the chance to meet the
person Bob is always talking about!
PENNY:
It is very nice to meet you, too! But I get the
impression that Surfer Bob is going to be talking
a lot about you. You’ll have to forgive
my friend for acting a little weird; (chuckle)
I think he just might have a crush on you!
JENI:
Oh, don’t be silly. You’re doing OK,
aren’t you Bob?
SURFER BOB:
(no response)
PENNY:
Jeni, why don’t you just tell our Kids On
Mission viewers, and myself, a little about you.
JENI:
Well, I’m happily married … my home
is in Tennessee … and I’m a singer/songwriter
of Christian music. In fact, I am currently on
my European tour, and today I come to you from
the beautiful land of Belgium!
PENNY:
Wow that’s awesome, Jeni! What is it like
to tour in Europe?
JENI:
Oh it is great! God has really blessed us with
a wonderful tour, and there is so much to see
here. Hey, while Surfer Bob was here, he followed
me around with the Web cam and put together a
little montage of video clips … would you
like to see it?
PENNY:
Oh yes, we would love to! Hey, Bob, why don’t
you open that video file for us?
SURFER BOB: Heh,
heh. Isn’t she great?!
JENI: (laugh)
Uh, Penny? I think it would be better if you opened
it up.
PENNY:
(laugh) I think you’re right!
PENNY:
Oh I wish I was there with you guys! It
looks like you are having a great time.
JENI:
It is hard to put into words! You know God has
put it on my heart to sing His glory and sing
about our Lord Jesus, and that is what I am doing
… no matter where He sends me.
SURFER
BOB: Hey, Jeni! It’s OK that I call
you Jeni, right?
JENI:
Yes, Bob.
SURFER
BOB: What you just said, ‘bout singin’
no matter where God sends you, reminded me of
a beautiful song you wrote. Tell us ‘bout
that, would ya?!
JENI:
You’re referring to my song, "Go and
Tell," right?
SURFER
BOB: Ummmm-hummmm
JENI:
"Go and Tell" is a song that was written
as a prayer to God. I mean … as I look around
the world and see His creation, and I read the
Bible and understand His power … I just
have to GO and tell the world about Him!
SURFER
BOB: Yeah, just like a missionary! I guess
you could say that you are a missionary.
PENNY:
That’s right Bob, and the world can hear
God’s truth through Jeni’s music ministry.
JENI:
Would you and your Kids On Mission friends like
to see the "Go and Tell" music video?
PENNY
& SURFER BOB: Yeah!
SURFER
BOB: Ohhhhh wow! I just love that song!
PENNY:
Me, too. Thanks for sharing that with us,
Jeni!
JENI:
Thanks to you guys for letting me show it to you.
SURFER
BOB: What if somebody wants ta find out
more ‘bout you and your ministry?
JENI:
You can always log on to my Web site at www.jenivarnadeau.com.
You can listen to music clips, check out tour
dates and read about another ministry that I have
called ChikChat.
SURFER
BOB: Heh, heh … Chick Chat. That
sounds like it's just for the girly types. Heh,
heh.
PENNY:
BOB! (back to Jeni) Chick Chat sounds interesting
… tell us about it?
JENI:
It’s a Biblically based workshop for preteen
and teenage girls – where I teach about
inner and outer beauty, as well as physical, mental
and spiritual health. It encourages young girls
to seek God, know His will and experience His
love.
SURFER
BOB: Sorry ‘bout my comment earlier.
Heh, heh. Chick Chat sounds lovely! Just like
… you, Ms. Jeni.
PENNY:
OK, Bob. I think you need to go back to Jeni’s
Web site and read her bio … especially the
part about her being happily married.
SURFER
BOB: Huh!
PENNY:
Thanks for stopping by, Jeni. You have
a wonderful ministry, and I can’t wait to
see more! I’m going to put a link to JeniVarnadeau.com
on the Kids On Mission Web site … how’s
that sound?
JENI:
That sounds great! Thanks for having me. We’ll
keep in touch … bye Penny. (looks to Bob)
Goodbye Señor Bob! (blows him a kiss)
SURFER
BOB: Wha … did you … hey Penny!
Did you see that? Yeeeee dowgies! I’m never
going to wash my face again! I can’t believe
it. I just got kissed by Jeni Varnadeau! Wooooo
… hoooooo!
PENNY:
(shakes her head in disbelief) Bye gang!
