The famous English playwright said it right and succinctly, “The whole world is a stage in which we are all actors”. We are either good, bad, indifferent or just plain crazy. Even though we call ourselves Christians we all wear masks to disguise our human flaws. We have the propensity to believe we are the only ones who know everything about everything! This is because we can’t see beyond ourselves. Our thoughts are firmly locked within our skulls and indeed we have great potential- but inevitably we are determined to do and think as we please. Even our prayers are, (like Reb Tevya from the play or movie “Fiddler on the Roof”” are misplaced saying” Lord please PALEEZE make me a wealthy man” so I can open an orphanage or feed the starving – then go about spending on yourself and eating steak and lobster.
But God isn’t fooled and shouldn’t be trifled with. He can snuff you out like a candle or squash you like a bug. So please don’t make promises nor provoke Him. He loves you but will take you out like He did the Israelites in the desert – over and over. Instead, just determine to always do the right thing as best you can expect the Holy Spirit to lead the way through the Eternal Word of God – the Bible.
Books:
In the evangelical movie I hope to make based on my first book “Miracles”, this is pointed out repeatedly. Miracle after miracle kept me alive even after I’d lost the will to live.
Like the Apostle Paul I must brag a little so that you aren’t trifling with a religious kook.
My mother and father we both welders during the second world war in Seatle Washinton working in a naval shipyard. Both were avid readers, and both were social and personally attractive people. I was the first of their seven children. In grade school I always fought for the wimpy underdog and took a beating for doing so – twice. As a safety patrol in the fifth grade, I saved the life of another boy who had broken through the ice in a pond near the school. I’ve also saved the life of three others – a grown man and a teenaged girl and a young child from drowning individually. I was a Golden Glove boxer and boxed in the civic center in Lansing Michigan – my hometown. I won my first fight against a lager and older opponent during which my right thumb was dislocated after punching my opponent with a right hook to the jaw. In the army I was an Expert rifleman (there were only two of us) in our platoon and was nominated for Officers Candidate School with a respectful IQ of 146, Today I test at 164 due to my love of reading. My work record is as a Class A certified welder first then Nuclear Certification welder and finally as a Class A Shipfitter.
After receiving Christ, I went on to being a professional artist, songwriter, screen writer and professional film actor. Who do you know who has lived life to the full and brimming over?
All of this while I also experienced the following and much more.
I escaped death, by drowning, (my life flashed before my eyes in seconds in a life review), being shot at twice by two other men individually who wanted to kill me, falling from atop a second story building, carbon monoxide poisoning, smoke inhalation from a smoldering couch while I slept. As you can see, God had other plans for me. Today, and for the past 12 years I’ve been a contributing writer for Rapture Ready and Drop Zone Delta and oh yes, I’m currently filming a trailer for a movie I’m making based on my first book “ Miracles” detailing my extraordinary exploits as an evangelical lay minister.
“Jesus said “only those who throw their lives away for my sake will know what it really means to live.”
