Pushing Back the Darkness

Joyce and I are typically on Pray with Others Live the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month, but today I got to fill in for one of my colleagues. Among others, I covered an article I wrote about a new podcast detailing the investigation and trial of the serial baby killer Kermit Gosnell: "Curses from Child Sacrifice Are Broken."

I got to praise the Lord in Mississippi, where the Dobbs Case originated, for the abolition of Roe v. Wade:

And at the St. Louis Airport I reported on an epiphany I had while performing my one-person drama "Sheepish" from my one-man play Big Fish Little Worm:

The Easter Airport

If you haven't read my report from Good Friday yet, read that first and then come back.

Wasn't that AMAZING!?!

Well that prayer for getting home (in time to catch the train I'm on right now to DC to lead a week of workshops) was answered, and the airport, in a beautiful metaphor, came back to life Easter morning, and my flight took off ON TIME! The woman sitting next to me said planes never leave St. Louis on time. I even landed in New York 15 minutes early!

Thanks so much for your prayers!

Powerful!

My performance of Journey to the Garden was outdoors tonight. There was a light rain, but I said I'd keep performing until they decided they wanted to move it indoors. About the time Jesus was being flogged lightning began to flash over our heads. When the crowd yelled, "Crucify him!" there were sirens going off. A 7-year-old asked her mother, "Are they coming to arrest us?" I found out later that the sirens blare when a tornado has been spotted. Turns out one blasted into St. Louis's Lambert field, eight miles away from us. The airport is now closed indefinitely, so pray I can get home in time to catch my train to DC for a week of workshops! During the crucifixion the thunder and lightning intensified, and it reached a crescendo over, "Ilohi, Ilohi, lama sabachthani, My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" After the line, "It is finished!" there was a huge downpour! One by one people walked into the home of my friends who hosted the performance, away from the shroud of Jesus as the heavens continued to burst. When they were all inside I changed and joined one of the most powerful worship services I've ever experienced. Some were saying that the kids that were here will never forget this. I know I never will!

Greetings from Kansas City

I'm in the Missouri side of the city for a Graceworks (GraceworksInc.com) presentation tomorrow, and I talked my friend, Dan, and Mom's cousin, Lydia, into joining me for dinner.

Dan used to speak at the junior high camps in NY, where I performed for a number of years. He continues to speak at youth events (Dan.Milette.com).

Lydia is involved in three ministries, including one to bikers called Church in the Wind (no website yet).
