Voted the most influential clergyman in NYC, Rev. A.R. Bernard is receiving his masters from Nyack College alongside my bride today. Rev. Bernard also received an honorary doctorate and is the commencement speaker.

He told a joke about the girl whose science teacher wanted to demean Christianity, so...

Dr. J.K. Warrick preached at our District's Ordination Ceremony.

His text was Matthew 16:24, "If anyone would follow me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me."

He pointed out how the cross has become a piece of jewelry, but it was an instrument of death. When Jesus said...

I have a friend who just graduated with a degree in playwriting. He's about to leave the NYC area and asked what play/s to see before his sad departure.

I thought I'd post the observations I sent him:

We LOVED The 39 Steps. Read my review at http://RichDrama.com/NewsBlog . You can watch Hitchcock'...

She's getting her second masters by the time she turns 16! On this day in 1993 Joyce gave her life to Christ, and as John 3 explains, she was re-born. What amazing and wonderful things God has done through her since then! Can't wait to see what happens when she becomes an adult!

From Joyce's Hooding Ceremony

All 54 graduates received a towel with their name sewn into it as a reminder that they are prepared to serve, even as Jesus washed his disciples' feet ( John 13:1-17).

She also made The Dean's List, was honored for her achievement on The Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Examination (she was 2nd in the nation!) and The Honor Society, for which she received this stole.

Joyce was just awarded for "Excellence in Clinical Skills".

We're at Joyce's hooding ceremony for her graduation from the Alliance Gradudate School of Counseling.

Huge congratulations, David!

Our church, Westchester Chapel, has been called to fast on Thursdays as we seek the Lord for spiritual, numerical and financial growth for the church. Our pattern is to break our fast together at Thirst.

A new believer asked why and how we should fast, which are excellent questions!

Joyce and I were delighted by Broadway's The 39 Steps. It was four actors...

Mark Chang, who was one of the creators of Olympic Hero in China, our documentary on Eric Liddell, has created a seven minute film, which has been selected for competition.

It's a charming little film, which is a tribute to growing religious freedom in China.

I just saw Chasing Manet by Tina Howe. I took playwrighting from Tina while working on my masters in theatre at Hunter College in the late '90's. Tina was a delight. She'd already been nominated for the Tony, Obie, Pulitzer, etc., etc., but she never intimidated us. She was such fun--as is Chasing ...

Thanks to all of you who were praying for me while I was taking the National Counselor Exam on Sat., April 18. I felt the peace and feel very good about the test in general. I also feel "free" of school after three years, with no major assignments and only two weeks left to go.
Thank you a...

We're in Nyack, NY, for Joyce's Nat'l Counseling Exam tomorrow. Please lift her up as she takes it from 9-1 EST.
