We Were Made to Create

In the very beginning, we were created in God’s image.  In Genesis 1:27, it says, “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him.”  So we have in us a natural, built-in desire to create as God did.  Of course, we can’t create by merely speaking like God when He said, “Let there ...

What’s Your Story?

When I was growing up, my grandfather was a professional photographer.  His dark room was in the basement of his home where he spent hours and hours, developing pictures.  The walls of his reception room were covered with pictures of high school seniors posing, athletic teams about to begin their seasons, families celebrating a wedding or the arrival of a ...

2016 Voice Arts Awards: A Night to Remember

As my wife and I stood in line at Warner Bros. Studios, I couldn’t help but think of all the film history that took place at this exact spot. Almost 100 years of history, in fact!

Why You Should Read Out Loud To Your Children

When my great-grandpa, Warren, was in his 90’s, his mind was incredibly sharp.  He could remember details of specific events that had occurred in his life well over 80 years earlier when he was just a young boy. Sitting in his chair, I can still hear him entertaining us great-grandchildren with his recitation of poetry.  I was always amazed at ...
