A White Savior Complex
There are a few episodes that I regret. Not many. For the most part, I felt most of the episodes I did were fairly tame and harmless in terms of negative consequences. Off the top of my head there are 3 episodes I heavily regret recording. Two were released. One. Was. Not. And since we’re…

The Prodigal Pt. 2
“Focus called. They want you again.” Drive to Pomona. Thru the entryway. Up the big staircase. Hey… there’s more pins in the map. Again. Get my 2.7 packets of hot chocolate. Sugared up and ready to go. Adventures in Odyssey: Episode 48- Heroes I’ve commented briefly on this episode in Heroes so I won’t say…

“This is your new character from now on…” Adventures In Odyssey: Episode 031- Family Vacation Part 1Adventures in Odyssey: Episode 032- Family Vacation Part 2 It’s been reported that when I first was given the role that would become my greatest claim to fame that I was rather underwhelmed and irked by it.

You Pt 1.

Focus. Focus. Focus.
“Focus sent you something in the mail…” It was a word. Focus. It became an abstract concept. Focus. It was a place. It was people. It was Adventures in Odyssey. Focus. In fact, for the first 20 years of my relationship with them, Focus on the Family in my brain WAS Adventures in Odyssey. Confession:…

An Adventure Begins
In Posty McPostface I described how performing in a play in front of 2,000 people was the moment that I found my purpose in life. That’s half true. That was the moment. The time on the stage and glow of mingling with the audience afterwards. I’d never been that happy or free before. With 35…

An Odyssey into the Unknown
I should have been nervous that day. It stands to reason that I would be. I was a nervous kid. Like many evangelical padawans I was terrified of ever getting in trouble or making a scene and was afraid of pretty much everything at all times. But, there was a unique element to my very…

Posty McPostface
I have tried starting this entry several times during the last 5-6 weeks or so and every time I have been defeated by one of my core arch nemesis: Writer’s Block. Which isn’t entirely honest of me. It’s more than Writer’s Block. It’s a myriad of symptoms of the thing you’re gonna learn about later,…
