Traveling ...

California .. it was good to be there and connect again, and get updates on the projects from the inside. The documentary Beyond the Gates did very well in the release in Oklahoma. It was 50th in the country as far as total revenue, and #6 in per theater average. The plan is to release in Houston in January, Los Angeles in March.

To Florida .. Still editing - the project is beginning to take more shape -- and yet I see how much work we still have to go - EEK some more! But, plowing along - we're making progress. Evan is a very talented editor - I'm thankful I'm not working on this one alone!!

To Honduras .. for a Micah Project Board meeting and to watch five of the young men graduate from high school. Amid Pomp and Circumstance, caps & gowns, tears and smiles .. it was a privilege to witness the transformation of these former street kids. And I got to hand out a diploma! It's been neat to follow this ministry from the early stages.  These five boys will head for college in the fall. www.micahcentral.org

Christmas Child - the movie I worked on in Tulsa the fall of 2002, the DVD is out. Based on a Max Lucado book - make sure you watch the credits for my name to zip by at the very end. It's in most stores (Target, Walmart, Christian book stores .. at Lay Renewal in St. Louis). And it airs on Lifetime December 20.

Heading home for a Thanksgiving break, to play Aunt Dianne .. and I've talked Dad into letting me return to Florida with the Cherokee Six. After all, I'm living at an airport!

Giving Thanks,
Dianne
