I got to read part of the Christmas story ( Luke 1:26-35 and  Luke 2:1-7) to Westchester Chapel this morning, just before  Dr. Linda Warren brought the Christmas message -- Make Room for the Lord -- from  Luke 2:1-7. 

A blessed Christmas to you! 

Here's a brickfilm in which I played the priest and -- for a brief moment -- Harvey Silverstein from my one-man play,  Views of the Manger, and my buddy Mac Nelson's monologue named after the character. Hope your whole family enjoys "Emmanuel"...

A couple of years ago I did a photoshoot via video conference for Melissa Thomsen, who was working on an Advent series, so it was a delight to finally meet her in person at the Christian Worldview Film Festival with one of the paintings she did!

It's quite a remarkable story found in Luke 2:8-20. ...

Thanks so much for your prayers over the weekend! I was carried by them!

We had an ...

I play Mr. Alphabet in this delightful children's story, The Crown of Success, an audio drama produced by Lamplighter Theatre. 

Joyce and I covered Intercessors for America's Policy & Prayer Summit. Here's the first in a series of articles about the event and the speakers:

As we shift from Thanksgiving to Advent, you may think I've chosen to post this because Nativity is in the name of this wonderful school, where I got to perform and coach. It's actually because I spent some of Thanksgiving reflecting on the Lord's goodness in the year so far, as I prepare our Chris...

A blessed Thanksgiving to all! 

We've very grateful for all of you who have kept us in your prayers as you've been following us over the years and decades! 

Here are the Thanksgiving proclamations by George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, preceded by the wisdom of Dutch Sheets: A Than...

I recently performed I Dreamed I Was Free at the Brown Grand Opera House, which I'm calling the Carnegie Hall of Kansas. The Brown Grand recently celebrated its 115th birthday. 

 

Former Civil War officer Colonel Napoleon Bonaparte Brown had the opera house built with inspirations from...

I was blessed to report on New York politicians during the Election Night coverage on www.Brighteon.tv. My appearance is at the 17:28 mark: 

Brighteon is a great, free source for independent journalism, and it's not owned by one of the six companies or run by one of the 232 media executives ...

This morning my article on Janet Porter, show runner for What's a Girl to Do, ran on www.HeadlinePrayer.org:
