My middle daughter Gwen, who is 14 years old, loves the Barbie movies. I have been watching them with her, I have to admit that I have been enjoying myself immensely. The music is Broadway sounding. The voice over work is done by well know actors and actresses. The morals are told in very modern ways. They almost remind me of fun and modern morality plays.

While at Wal-Mart one day. A young African man was checking my items and we got to talking. I had my youngest daughter with me, and commented on how helpful and well behaved she was. He ask about how old she. I told him that she had just turned 12 and that Ana, my daughter, went to a Christian school. He asked about if they taught Darwinism. I explained they taught both Creationism and Darwinism, and gave him other reason why she goes to a Christian school. He explain that in his country they be…

It started out pretty good until I got hit from behind by a car. My hubby, my three girls and I needed to goto Walmart. We didn't get very far. More pain, it's hard for me to walk right now.

Opening night went great. Of course there are some areas that need some work on butter if you count last night as our final dress as well as opening night it wen well. It has been 4 years since I have been at a opening night of a play I have co-directed. I had forgotten how exciting and nerve racking a opening night could be. All the work has been hard on my fibro. I was in a lot of pain yesturday but dealing with the pain was all worth it just so I can work in the theater again.

One more dress rehearsal then opening night. The cast is ready they just need to let go of their stress and worry. If they do that they can then concentrate on their characters and become the character they are playing. it has been exciting for me. To be able to direct again. To be able to work with such a talented cast, this has been dream come true to be able to direct again.

Again we got a lot done. The cast is starting to feel how the flow of the show goes. Didn't have the seniors here. They are at senior wilderness. I don't think we have had the whole cast all together yet. Even today we had trouble with some of the orphans being across the street at a fast foot place then practicing. Then the students who are there at rehearsal really working hard are the ones that have to carry the show. I know it's just a musical, but either drama, comedy or musical you still w…

"Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundent. It is not in itself the life more abundent. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself." Henry Miller (American Novelist)

My youngest daughter Ana was performing today in chapel, she plays the cello. She was great of course, but after she and the other kids performed the principal got up to give a small sremonett. Mrs. DeMoll told us she found a saying in her bible. It said; "If you don't feel close to jesus in your life right now, guess who moved." That little saying has such wondeful meaning. So if you aren't feeling close to your Lord and Savior right now, sell the house your heart is living in right now and buy…

Well I really don't have the slightest idea why my in-laws are acting the way they did this weekend. First I was given a lecture on how my youngest daughter it's apply herself to her work, and because of that she shouldn't be in PLP class. PLP is a special class that our private school has for kids with learning disabilities. Then after that wonderful lecture, my father-in-law told me I was a lier when it came to the sodas we've been drinking. I tried to explain to him that my sister has been bu…

In the Celtic tradition, there is a beautiful understanding of love and friendship. One of the fascinating ideas here is the idea of soul love; “Anam Cara” may sound like some new French perfume, but it actually refers to the Celtic spiritual belief of souls connecting and bonding .I…

"The purpose of art is to create an emotional response in the person that is exposed to that art. And there are three categories of art; bad art, good art and great art. Bad art will elicit no emotional response in the person that is exposed to it, i.e.; a song you hear in an elevator and it does nothing to you, a picture on a wall that gives you the same emotional response as if the wall had been blank, a movie that chews up time. Good art will make you feel an emotion that you have felt bef…
