Tennessee Williams

By Rich

Just heard celebs tell memories of Tennessee Williams. My favorite was when he went to the debut of one of his films. The woman asked him where he was from (wanting to know what studio), and he said, "Mississippi." She called him a wise guy and turned him away until she heard Eli Wallach ...

The United Nations

By Rich

We pray the representatives here would make wise choices for peace and justice around the world.

I got to perform in the UN when I was in the cast of The Jeweler's Shop, written by Pope John Paul, II, so I'm reminded to lift up the current pope. Lord, flow through his recent decision to honor artists...

Times Square

By Rich

We're grateful to live so close to the cross roads of the world, where the echo of 60,000 voices of Prayer on the Square are so vivid in our memories. May many more prayers go up from this intersection!

And as people disperse from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade may they keep looking up!

Former labyrinth

By Rich

I saw on an old Google image that this dancing water fountain (closed for the winter) used to be a prayer labyrinth.

We're grateful for the Christian heritage of this city that is now having a huge growth spurt of church plants. May they continue to multiply and flourish!

Charles Walker

He saw a performance of Beyond the Chariots at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, after which he told us how he found Eric Liddell's grave in Weifang, China, which started the ball rolling on the establishment of a massive monument there in Liddell's...
