While getting ready to perform Beyond the Chariots a while back Kathy (pictured in the white hat) gave a big wave. After the performance she told me that she and several friends (some of whom are pictured here) had come to Rock Hill Church of the Nazarene just to see my last performance there ( The ... 03.11.06 06:24 PM - Comment(s)

I just performed A Clear Leading here in Washington, DC. The play is about John Woolman, a Quaker, who spoke against slavery 100 years before Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
There was an African-American gentleman in the audience, and after the play I told him how uncomfortable I always...

I missed New York City's deepest snow storm on record as I was performing and teaching in TN, OR & HK. So it's actually nice to have a bit of the white stuff here in Rochester. 03.02.06 12:07 AM - Comment(s)
Most Broadway shows start at 8pm. Every night at curtains up Hong Kong puts on a show, but it's for everyone with a view of the city. Many of the buildings are linked into a coordinated light show. It's quite an elaborate spectacle.

Yesterday we had a memorial service for a dear friend, Jim Warren, Sr. This morning in church our friend, Kenny, told us that he wanted to cut his hair to commemorate Jim's 20 year military career in which he served in three wars. Kenny couldn't decide which military cut was right, so he went with N...

Dr. Jim Hudson Taylor, III, a great-grandson of the "Father of Modern Missions," was able to see Beyond the Chariots here in Hong Kong. He was a boy in the Japanese concentration camp, where Eric spent his last years. Dr. Taylor gave me some details that helped finesse the script, and he s... 02.21.06 07:09 AM - Comment(s)
Joyce and I had the honor of meeting HK Cheng. He was a student of Eric Liddell's at the Tientsin Anglo-Chinese College, featured in my play Beyond the Chariots. Mr. Cheng runs his own engineering firm in Hong Kong, so I asked him to reflect on the gold medalist/science teacher's greatest contributi...

I was about to perform Beyond the Chariots for the Mandarin Bible Church, which meets on the 27th floor of a building on Hong Kong Island. As I was admiring the view I discovered that the great-grandson of Hudson Taylor attends the church. Hudson Taylor is considered the Father of Modern Missions, ...

We're looking through the floor of the Macau Tower.
Pray for Macau. That was the hardest day of the trip though it was our only full day of leisure. On Monday we found out that it's dubbed the Missionary Graveyard. There are more prostitutes than Christians and 40% of all workers are employed by...

We're speeding by jetfoil (the commuter ferry) to Macau. Beyond the Chariots was received well in Hong Kong, praise the Lord! The students of the International Christian School helped correct some minor inaccuracies. I was pleased to be their student after teaching three of their drama classes.

We were supposed to fly direct from LA to Hong Kong, but winds over the Polar Ice Cap this time of year often prohibit flights that long. I had stops here each way when I ran a cross-country race in Canton, China, as a high schooler.
On that trip we got a tour of the Olympic pavilion, just as the...

That's the moon setting over my family's farm in Phoenix, Oregon. I left early for my double performances at Trail Christian Fellowship.
Back in Chattanooga the sun rose on an exciting new program. Compassion (RichDrama.com/Compassion) has agreed to cover tickets to our Off-Broadway run (Fi...

I just got to perform The Acts for the Salvation Army's Candidates Seminar. What a priviledge to bring the story of God's power to these future officers (pastors).
I performed Big Fish Little Worm at this gathering three years ago, shortly after attending a Compassion artists' retreat at Michael W. S...
