In my last post I briefly mentioned the transformative power of stories, and so here's a little bit more of my thoughts about it. Except "transformative power" sounds too textbooky for me -- stories change people. There, that's simpler. :)
Not only do stories change people, but I don't ...
The other day I realized that almost all of my larger projects/involvements have something to do with the Church or the gospel or building the kingdom in general. Guess I don't do secular very well. :P It's as if I don't have the heart to go through with ...
A couple days ago I came across Merlin Mann's Making Time to Make series, and in reading through it I realized why I don't hang out.
Actually, that's not entirely true. I do hang out, but only occasionally, and as the exception and not the rule. For the ...
I'm sick (came down with something this afternoon) and trying to get better (I knew the sleep deprivation would eventually catch up to me), so posting may be intermittent till I'm back to normal. In the meantime, though, we closed the show (Long Ago and Far Away) last night, ...
We're in the middle of the run of Long Ago & Far Away, and it's going quite well. (Last night's Tree of Blood performance was head and shoulders above the last four performances, in fact. And Repeating History is proving to be one of the audience favorites.) ...

There were enough good submissions to the New Play Project Long Ago and Far Away set that they've added an extra round of finals, and my play Tree of Blood is one of the nine finalists. Phew. :) We have till Tuesday night to revise our plays and ...
