Lacking So Much

I've been reading a lot of stuff for CG.Drama. Last week, I finished Respect for Acting which made me feel like we were some of the worst actors around. I don't feel that I'm equipped to teach drama or acting. My own experience is thin and my own talents are lacking. How am I supposed to teach others to do this when I can't do it myself?

Yesterday, I got The Director's Eye by John Ahart. Just reading the first few chapters, I see how little I bring to the table as a director. Yes, even in my infancy, I am a better director than, say, the director of Grease @ Montville, but I am still lacking in being a good director.

It isn't fair to the rest of the team that I lead them. But if not I, who? Who else at church is equipped or even beginning to prepare themselves for such a task? No one. All I can do is try my best, study hard, and learn as much as I can to instruct my team.

Hopefully, my inexperience isn't held against me.
