Re: Hey everybody!

Whoo hoooo! Congratulations, Staci!

Lord, we lift this opportunity up to you. May Staci be a tremendous
blessing to this church and to her aunt and uncle. In Jesus Name, Amen.

In Christ alone,
Rich

So sorry re: Bloglines Validation Email

Sorry to spam you. I'm experimenting with a blog of all our blogs. More to come.

blogs

Please post a comment below (RichDrama.com/MasterWits scroll to "blogs") to let us know what your blog is.

I'll create a link to this in the right margin once people start posting.

So sorry to miss prayer chat!

Greetings, all, in the name of our Lord!

How I miss you all, and am so thankful to get the blog updates. Please
continue to keep us posted.

The whirlwind continues here with house-hunting, loan applications, packing,
job hunting, etc. Next week we will move in with Charlie's parents until we
find a house. They are tremendously supportive and helpful.

Charlie started teaching yesterday, but his back went out just before class!
Please lift him up to the Lord, as he's more stressed than he lets on.

God willing, I'll be doing my cabaret, Full Circle, October 6, with another
theater project in the works for next Easter. Common Place, the
after-school program where I teach vocal music, starts September 19. No
word yet on church jobs.

Please forgive as our home computer is not working correctly. Consequently,
I don't get to check emails very often. Oy!

Comforting scripture: "If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on
the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand
will hold me fast." Psalm 139

Thank you, Father!

Love and blessings!

Some Kinda Zombie film clip (part 2)

Re: Screenplay

Lord,
We praise you for this seed you've planted in Tiffany's heart and mind.  Water it, and grow it.  Empower her to finish a strong outline by the time school starts.  Prepare Mr. Botkins now for a meeting with Tiffany.  Give him a dream about this work.  Lord, please make sure they can connect in space and time as well as conceptually.  Give Tiffany your confidence and your ear as she receives criticism.  

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Joyce's hand is getting better day by day, but is still not at 100%.

"See" you all tonight at 8!

In Christ alone,
Rich

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to ask you all to pray for a screenplay that I am writing.  After I got the idea, I told my sister (she's the one with taste)  and she liked it.  I then told my mom and she liked it.  Now that never happens, usually one likes it and the other doesn't.  Anyway, they have REALLY encouraged me (almost pushed) to get this thing written.  To add to all this, I am planning to go to San Antonio, Texas in October (if my college will let me, another prayer) and I would love to be able to present a wonderful filmmaker there with an outline for the film and get some tips.  Mr. Botkins is well-known in New Zealand and America for his films.  I have been listening to his CDs from the last festival and he seems to have the exact same vision that I do for the film industry.  Anyway, all that to say that I would really appreciate your prayers in getting the outline done before school starts, because I have an incredibly busy schedule this semester and I won't have time once classes start.

How is everyone out there?  How is Joyce's hand doing?

Brandon's in Boston

Lord,
Open doors for Brandon while he enters this new place to which you've
called him. Give him a full portion of your Spirit and Wisdom, and
may be a light to those around him. Give him discernment, and help
him to quickly find and make Believers. Seal the work that was done
in him through MasterWorks and the spiritual ground that was taken
since then.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Brandon, be sure to update us with your current info and give us a
report! Let us know when a good time for a chat would be for you,
and those of us that can will grill you...and lift you up.

In Christ alone,
Rich

Christi's proposal

Ok, here's the deal. I have crocheted hats. I want to share these with my theatre group people. Any of you who would like one (including teachers) Please email me your address and tell me your preference. I have many styles and colors, and will try to match yours. I was just thinking, how can I show them how much I love them, and get rid of excess stuff at the same time? I can always make more hats, but that will have to wait until I move.
Email me at lifeisastage@gmail.com Peace and love, Christi

Fotos galore ;)

Awesome, Christi! Thanks for scanning & posting those photos! Ah, memories =") For those who haven't checked my blogspot site, you can also find MasterWorks2005 photos there ;) Here is the link: http://iysk.blogspot.com/ Enjoy~! In Him, Irene

Re: [MasterWits] We've got revival breaking out!

It was sort of like what happened during improvisational worship, and the worship night where people were sharing deep needs. Last night students were confessing sins and getting prayed over. More details and prayer direction at my blog: RichDrama.com/NewsBlog.

Susie and Carol say, "Hello!"


The Salvation Army week-long conservatory has begun. Carol Jaudes is Pat-Kavanaughing the show while Susie and I (and a host of others) direct individual scenes and teach technique.

I would like to invite each of you to be an intercessor for one of my or Susie's students. If you're willing, please shoot me an email: Rich@RichDrama.com.

You can follow my blog (RichDrama.com/NewsBlog) if you'd like to follow our adventures through the week. I wasn't able to figure out how to have my program send out emails each time the site's updated, so check back as often as the Spirit leads. You can also subscribe with a Site Feed Reader if you choose.

Some fun

Wow, that chat last night was so refreshing. I knew I missed you all, but entering into the fray of a chatroom with you was quite good.

For those that missed it I'll try to schedule another after I'm back from my mini-MW: The Salvation Army's Territorial Arts Ministries Conservatory. It's a one-week version of MWF without orchestra.

The faculty is called to a 24 hour fast, so I can't wait to see how the Holy Spirit moves there. Appreciate your prayers to that end.

In Christ alone,
Rich

Benign

The doctor just told us that everything they removed during Joyce's surgery was benign! Thank you so much for all your prayers!

We were blessed by visits from Hannah Schubkegel, who attended Peter & the Wolf, and Stephen Schulte, who drove all the way up from St. Louis to watch both productions of Anne of Green Gables and the Sunday morning worship service. Did anyone snap a picture?!
