To my relief, I have really enjoyed looking at some DVDs of me sharing my testimony last fall and being interviewed on a television program last month. (I usually don't find it easy looking at myself speak.) I had not seen these tapings until today. The people who taped me have been nice enough to wait for me to approve of the videos before posting them online. Being snowed in here in TN, it was nice to watch the DVDs with my family and have them confirm that they will bring God glory... The videos will be posted on Vimeo and You Tube soon, and these will be the only videos posted to my knowledge about my life and our work in ministry this year. In one of the videos, I am speaking at Angola Prison (Louisiana State Penitentiary) and singing "Honest Life." It brought back great memories of my time there, and I am thankful the video turned out well of me sharing about all God has done and all His love means to me. Also, it will be helpful for people working with me internationally, like the pastor in Pakistan, who will more than likely never meet me in person. Perhaps it will let people know the heart of our ministry a little more after watching the videos. A few will need some editing, so I have made notes.
Tomorrow I plan on returning to Atlanta. The roads are clear. Work awaits me back in Atlanta, as I want to focus on getting some Christian songs recorded in January and getting the booklet/pamphlet written for West Hollywood called "Is There A Gay Gene?" (working with Arthur Goldberg and Neil Whitehead.) I will also be working with a video editor to get these videos online as soon as possible. I would like to add about a 10 minute video about Angola before I speak, so I will be following up about that as well.
(There was a 3 hour wait to ride up the tram in Gatlinburg this afternoon to get to the sledding and tubing. We decided to wait to take my nephews and little niece, too, when they come to visit in January, and I return to this area to get to see them again soon. http://www.obergatlinburg.com/ .)
