Eric Metaxas, author of “Bonhoeffer” and a new book, “If You Can Keep It,” is urging Christians to get involved – or they will lose their freedom, they will lose their country…the name “America” may stay, but there will be nothing inside. He said America is not an ethnic group but an idea – “self-government.” It had never been done before in history, not even the Greeks (Eric is Greek)… who had little city-states. Eric said that all of our […]
Today, May 9, 2016 – finished the prescribed chemotherapy for breast cancer treatments – Jan. 2016 to May 2016 – 4 rounds of Red Devil and other one (I always forget the name) that knocked me down, then 12 rounds of Taxol which wasn’t too bad…I can’t wait until my hair grows back. Very excited to be starting a new movie role tomorrow in my month off before six weeks of radiation begins. The movie is “Andy’s Rainbow” and I […]
I was briefly on the Rusty Humphries radio show April 7 and he asked me about my cancer. I said it wasn’t so bad. Then, he asked me if I was really happy or just faking it. What a great opportunity I had to share the good news of Jesus Christ…and I blew it! I said something stupid about wearing pink wigs. In my defense, my 87 year old Dad had just been taken to the E.R. in an ambulance […]
8 Chemos down, 8 to go… but who’s counting? “The promise is not I (God) will put out the fire. The promise is I will be with you in the flames.” – @howertonjosh @TheBridgeSH Here is a fantastic sermon, “God in the Fire” by Josh Howerton from The Bridge Church. It’s about pain, suffering and God. (http://bridgesh.com/media/podcast/20160313.mp3) In Daniel 3, when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into the fiery furnace, “… King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in […]
Author Eric Metaxas is brilliant, funny and …deep. His speech at the National Prayer Breakfast 2012 in front of Obama is a MUST SEE. Metaxas was born in Queens, New York City, he grew up in Connecticut and graduated from Yale University, where he edited the Yale Record, the nation’s oldest college humor magazine. And, he believes in Jesus. Eric interviewed me today for his new radio show, The Eric Metaxas Show. We talked about my recent cancer diagnosis and […]
I’ve been trying to have a good attitude about my recent cancer diagnosis. But it can be a drag.
Me and my grand daughter Ever Grace, age 4, singing a piece of my new song, “A Happy Ending.” It all happened pretty suddenly. I went to the Walk In Clinic for a cough. I asked the Nurse Practitioner if the numb spot near my underarm was my lymph gland fighting the cough. He quickly sent me to the Vanderbilt Breast Clinic, (God bless him), an awesome place full of great people. Suddenly, I was in surgery (double mastectomy) and […]
(me and Johnny Crawford in the play “Lovers and Other Strangers” circa 1983) I stumbled upon a bunch of Johnny Crawford videos on Youtube. When I met him in 1980 at Summerfest in Birmingham, AL, I’d never heard of The Rifleman or Chuck Connors. We didn’t have a TV when I grew up. He was the lead actor in “Meet Me in St. Louis” and I was in the chorus line. He says my flip flops (back handsprings) caught his […]

Pureflix’s “Marriage Retreat” was a joy to shoot in the mountains of Los Angeles. Great people to work with. “If we get closer to Him, we get closer to each other.”

Eric Metaxas is one of my heroes. I love the way he communicates his faith. I admire his conviction. And, he’s very funny. He gave an unforgettable speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2012. Eric Metaxas should has his own TV Talk Show on TBN Fri. and Sun. nights. You can also watch his radio show on YouTube. Secular-Yale-Agnostic-Eric had a dream that changed his life, and now he says, “Faith isn’t a leap into the dark. Faith is […]
