I teleported & time-traveled in 1 day

Yesterday was the launch of a new youth study at our church: http://WestchesterChapel.org

I was asked to teach on the first chapter of John. I remembered that our friends in Paris start with that chapter when they meet people interested in knowing more about life with Christ. So I set up a video c...

The infamous door

By Rich

I was once performing my play about Jonah in a semi-rural Quaker (Friends) meeting, just outside Boise, Idaho. The pastor, Ken Redford, is a friend I've known since junior high. That’s probably the only reason I got invited back after a fellow actor's post-performance comment was broadcast through ...

3rd time

By Rich

The Acts on Thursday was awesome. Though it is the 3rd time I've seen it performed, the Holy Spirit was moving like it was the first.

By Rich

Good News Communication, which produced a documentary on Eric Liddell that I helped create, Olympic Hero in China, may be bringing me back to Hong Kong to teach some acting workshops this summer. While updating my itinerary I went to their website and saw that they'd loaded some photos from our last...

The Billy Graham Library

By Rich

Between performances in South Carolina I drove up to Charlotte, NC, to visit the Billy Graham Library. It was quite impressive. The breadth of Dr. Graham's career, which has covered seven decades, was told in a wide variety of ways. The one that brought me the most delight was when I entered a room...

Righteousness

By Rich

Ruth Bell Graham is buried on the grounds of The Billy Graham Library. She was born in China, where her parents served the Chinese people through their medical expertise. The Chinese symbol on her gravestone is "righteousness," which is made up of two other symbols: the symbol for lamb o...

Don't listen to what "they" say

By Rich

The featured quote on today's HungerSite.org (where a cup of rice is donated to the hungry around the world each time you visit the site and click the button) featured Carl Lewis today:

Scientists have proven that it's impossible to long-jump 30 feet, but I don't listen to that kind of talk. Thought...

A church in Tigerville, SC

By Rich

I'm within a few miles of where they filmed Leatherheads.

I just had a great session with North Greenville University's Drama Ministry class, then passed this sign that sums it all up pretty well.

The Bible Incorporated

By Rich

While rehearsing last month for A Clear Leading I had misplaced the little Bible that I use as a prop, so I searched our shelves for something that was about that size. I came across The Bible Incorporated, Into Your Life, Job And Business. Joyce had it before we married, so I'd never looked int...

WALL-E

By Rich

Joyce and I were delightfully surprised by this charmer. It's a futuristic Noah tale, filled with hope and a dove bringing back an olive leaf.

Transforming Culture: A Model for Faith and Film in Hollywood

By Rich

I just spoke with Christine Gunn-Danforth. We were connected by Ken Wales, who thinks very highly of her. She spoke so passionately about how performing arts and media can effect the culture that I just had to order her book: Transforming Culture: A Model for Faith and Film in Hollywood.
