May We Give to YOU This Tuesday?

​I'm writing while reflecting on "Giving Tuesday," the designated Tuesday after Thanksgiving when not-for-profit organizations concentrate on requesting  financial donations.  It's a laudable period of end-of-the-year generosity, even if a tad overwhelming.

No doubt you have received many "Giving Tuesday" email requests in recent days.  If you're like me, you may feel a twinge of pressure to try giving to everyone, as if #GivingTuesday is a do-it-or-lose it competition with leftovers from Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  For us, "Giving Tuesday" isn't a landing site, it's a launching pad of Yes, And... 
Y

So, to be transparent, yes, this IS a request to give...AND it is not.  Yes, we would be thankful if you gave financially to Kingdom Impact Theater Ministries (today, even), AND I want to let you know
there's a deeper reason I'm writing.  It's to thank you for the intangible gifts you have given us already so that we may give to others.​

A colleague of ours with Artists in Christian Testimony Intl is a music ministry educator in Ukraine. As the Russian attacks were imminent, our colleague sent a post to A.C.T. Intl artists in 47 countries encouraging us to begin infusing oft-sung Ukrainian songs of worship in our local congregational assemblies. Three of the selections are original compositions by musical worship leaders in Ukraine, perhaps not known Stateside. YouTube links and link to the full story can be provided.

Why I Said "No" to Santa

A few summers ago, my theatrical agent called with a wonderful performance opportunity. A holiday season show.  Christmastime.  Six-to-nine weeks depending on rehearsals.

Actors hear two words at such a possibility.  Especially during the holidays. "Ka-ching!"

Honestly, I was more excited about auditioning than getting the job.  Auditions for me, for the professional stage, had been rare in recent years. Even though the role wasn't one I actually felt qualified for (if I was directing the show, would I have call ME to read?), being asked was exciting.  I was new to the agency, trying to resurrect my career in a new season of life.  Landing the job may earn me more opportunities and restore confidence.

It was good to be wanted. It was better to be hired.  That's how I became associated with a holiday show we lovingly called, "Broadway on a Train."
