Week 10: Standing Tall, Falling Hard
If you know what a “Bard” is then I greet you as a fellow nerd… Live long and prosper. If not, then the stories of Saul and Samuel must seem very strange you to you […]
Week 9: The Faith of a Foreign Woman
This is really a story that you could produce as a romantic comedy and miss the some of the most humanizing parts. What draws me to this story is not romance… although there is plenty in it. I like simple in my systems but its complexity that breeds good characters.

Week 2: God Builds a Nation
I’m not exactly sure what it is inside me that feels the pull of words and phrases like legacy, family name and inheritance. Maybe it is male ego or pride or survival instinct, but I […]
