This time I'm sharing a piece that won Honorable Mention in the 2017 Arts Rolla Writing Competition. 

Answering the challenge to make a western-style Batman theme, I put on my best Ennio Morricone and came out with this.Batman is the creation of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, and is the property of DC Comics.

A sermon I preached on Sunday, March 19, 2017 at Steelville Pres. Church.

This is a sermon I gave at my home church, Steelville Presbyterian Church, on June 12, 2016.

Back in 1996, while I was still working with Covenant Players, CP's director, Charles M. Tanner, asked me to write a book about the type of drama that we do.  Chuck had been urged by a number of people to write an autobiography, and though he never did, I think he was enthused about having a book about his plays.  This week, I thought you'd be interested in hearing the first chapter of the book, titled "Acts of Witness - Stages of Worship".If you're interested in reading the rest of the book, it's available on paper and as a Kindle version on Amazon, as well as at http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/lanin

Recent events have put me in mind of a sermon I preached back in March of 2016, concerning Zaccheus.
