I gained a new understanding of what Jesus felt when the crown of thorns was shoved on his head when I fell into a rose bush. Leaning over too far and stretching awkwardly as I tried to pound in a fertilizer stick, I lost my balance and fell head first into one of the thorniest rose bushes in my garden. It’s really amazing that I wasn’t seriously hurt. Thank You, Father! And thank You, Jesus, for enduring the thorns and the lashing and the cross. The strength of Your will, Your commitment to do what Your Father asked, and especially Your love for mankind even as they mocked You amazes me. “What wondrous love is this . . .”

Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference
Plans are almost finalized for another exciting and life-changing conference. Monday morning, Lord willing, I plan to begin updating the website for our 33rd year of ministry. Here’s a preview of just one of our eight continuing sessions:
Dr. Ted Baehr
Founder and Chairman
The Christian Film and Television Commission
Publisher of MOVIEGUIDE Magazine
Ted is an award-winning media authority often on television, radio, and in print. His purpose is to be used by God to redeem the values of the mass media and encourage famlies to use wisdom in selecting entertainment. His books include The Media-Wise Family and The Culture-Wise Family.
Ted will give a keynote message on “Transforming Our Culture” and teach a continuing session on “Breakthrough Scriptwriting.” You’ll learn how to write a script that is structurally sound, entertaining, morally responsible, and very marketable. Ted will show you how to go from treatment to theatrical release so you can get the Word out through the mass media of entertainment. He also includes valuable information about key principles of communicating through movies and television from a Christian perspective.
