The youth of the church where I'll be performing Beyond the Chariots (www.RichDrama.com) tonight were dismayed to discover that their climbing tree (and some of their parents' climbing tree) had to be taken down because it was dying of disease. It will live on in woodwork.

Tonight's performance will ...

Tonight the Empire State Building is lit all in yellow to commemorate the Afterschool Alliance, Lights on Afterschool. It's quite cool to have been a part of something celebrated by the ESB!

One of the things I do when I'm not performing or writing is coaching architects on their presentation skills through Graceworks (www.GraceworksInc.com). We're about to share some of our concepts with kids at Abundant Waters (www.AbundantWatersKids.org). It's an after-school program which is hosting...

Friends at our church recently posted the following:

Here is Joshua saying a line from his favorite video--The Beginner's Bible: Creation.

It's fun to note that our good friend, Rich Swingle, did the voice of Adam in this video. And seeing as Adam is the one who delivers the line,...

Some time back, while a theatre student at MasterWorks, Irene Kao sponsored a child through Compassion. When she returned home to Australia she went online to see if she could correspond electronically to save international postage. While she was there, she discovered that Compassion had an Austral...

I have a friend who performed a minor role in Butterfly Circus, which won $100,000 for first place at The Doorpost Film Project Competition. It was also recently featured the Searching for Sanctuary Film Festival at Biola University. It's a profound look at hope despite unfortunate circumstances.

Graeme and Neryl, who arranged our trip to Australia, introduced us to an Aussie meal called The Tiger, a meat pie covered with mash (potatoes), mushy peas, and gravy. I was telling friends at church about it, and I got such a hunger for one that I made them for dinner. There was no sign of meat pi...

You are truly amazing, praise God for his incredible gift to you. What you ministered at Camberwell was significant - it was all part of what He's working at Camberwell, in the Army and in Melbourne! It was great to see you again and to meet Joyce, and I really just wanted to thank you for your exam...

We thought it quite significant that we brought twelve from our church ( Westchester Chapel) to Prayer on the Square.

Here's Joyce's report:
We at WCCC ended up with twelve people -- the Disciples' Dozen -- which seemed entirely from the Lord. There was a mix of praise and prayers of repentence -- ...

Brooke and Ash Sellers came up to NYC from Australia for their honeymoon. We had them over for waffles with Vegemite. I was actually the only one to try that tasty combo, but the sweet and savory effect was delicious! We offered to bring out the TimTams, but they honored our limited stock.

This is a...

Kathy Lee Gifford's brother, Rev. David Epstein, led us in a prayer against racism, including a prayer for President Obama and his family. Rev. Epstein cited John 4 and the Woman at the Well, which was the scripture in our youth Bible study this morning!

During the main service, I slipped away to rea...
