| With Mike with the van he never let me drive. I believe it's in front of his parents' home. |

If you're waiting to give your heart to the Lord, don't bet your eternity on later. I now treasure more than ever the long conversations Mike and I had about the Lord on that 16-city tour.
Why not give your life to the Lord now.

His creative excuses for not letting me drive: Mike: "You're not on the insurance." Hundreds of miles roll by. Me: "There's the rental shop!" Mike: "Yeah, but because you're an actor they might assume you'll connect with other actors and make mischief." Me: "You just don't want me to drive." Turns out his father was a lorry driver, and one morning he met a car coming off the slip THE WRONG WAY after traveling at least 14 miles on the wrong side of the expressway! He was sure that the "wrong way" driver was a foreigner so my chances of driving on that trip were zero.

One night we were parking, and I mentioned to Mike and his daughter Rachel (who was with us at the time) that in the States I had never seen anyone park on the sidewalk. "It's a path," Rachel corrected. Me: "What?" Rachel: "It's not a sidewalk, it's a path." Between Mike's family and the many wonderful people I met on that journey I picked up 21 new British phrases on the 21 days of the tour. They were all things I'd never heard before at that time of my life.
Mike was insistent on some cardio work before stretching, so my acting students have Mike to thank for many of the regulars in my warm-up routines.
Though I haven't seen Mike in almost 15 years, thanks to Facebook we reconnected rather recently, and I just sobbed and sobbed when I read the news of his death. It's amazing the impact one soul can have on another. My prayers and condolences cross the Pond to Linda and his girls and all who knew and appreciated him.

I clapped and cheered so loudly when I saw this trailer. We're heading out now to see it on Times Square...
We just loved it. I've been praying for a film like this for decades. It lays out the principles which helped Joyce and I build a fantastic marriage that has been getting better and better as the years go by.
Seems it's answering a great many prayers! It broke the box office record for per screen: Over $1M in less than 300 theaters!
After it was over we struck up a conversation with two single women sitting behind us. They were concerned because it seemed that the man and the woman in the movie were unequally yoked.
This was a concern of mine as well, and it was the only thing that kept me from bursting out with applause at the end. But my brilliant bride pointed out that he was not in a grace-based relationship with the Lord at the start of the movie. Through the course of the story we see her digging into Scripture, breaking her old patterns, and leading him in a path of truly accepting Christ's forgiveness. Though the movie doesn't make it clear, there is a strong sense in which they will both enter marriage as Believers.
Looking at it another way, I pointed out to the women we met in the theatre, that by following the principles of building a friendship first, the man allowed the woman to fall in love with the One who made the man so special.
We ended up praying with those young women right there in the Times Square theater, quite loudly once the ads for the next showing began. We prayed they would find men who respected them the way the man in the film respected the woman.
Rated PG-13 for some thematic material.
Christians might want to know:
* A dreamcatcher is displayed
* Characters are shown drinking alcohol and in various states of sobriety
* A woman dances suggestively and starts to strip (but doesn't get very far)
* A video series is mentioned several times, and it is suggested that in the videos college women strip. Clips from one of the videos are shown and heard, but there is no nudity.
* Past sexual lives are discussed clinically

Here's the video series we created the last time we studied the Armor of God...
The last men's group for the study of the Book of Daniel will be this coming Saturday at Dave L's.During Bible study, Pastory Randy Solomon shared about a boy who had come back to life after being dead for 45 minutes when his mother prayed that the Holy Spirit would save her son. Here's a link to that article: Doctor says mother's prayer restarted dead boy's heart.

Here are a couple of tweets that describe the fun we had with last night's Graceworks workshop in Paramus, NJ...
Helped light the rocket fuel in two young interior designers last night at @ASIDNJ!
