From The Branch

Okay, so it’s been awhile…

// October 12th, 2009 // Uncategorized

Hello everybody!!  I see that the last post was August 22 by Michael.  I figured I might as well update everybody on what’s going with me and From the Branch…

From the Branch is taking a break for the fall.  We, well mainly Michael, are working on a show for the spring.  We have about 20 pages written which is great considering how busy Michael is.  Be looking out for more information about that show in the future.  We are very excited about this show and the spring, and can’t wait to bring it to a city near you.

Michael has been on the road with his wife, Courtney.  God is doing some amazing things in their life.  Check out their website to see what they are up to, where they’ve been, and where they are going next.  www.teamemptychair.com

In August, I filmed a movie, “The Genesis Code.”  Rumor has it that it comes out, limited theatres, in November.  You can join the Facebook group and learn all about it.  Just type in “The Genesis Code” and become a fan.  I play a very small, but feature role in the film.  I’m only in it for a couple of minutes, but I got to start somewhere.  The film is a Christian film about a couple of college students revolving around the concept of creation versus evolution, which many college students deal with when they are on their own for the first time.  It will definitely be on DVD sometime. Check it out!!

Before I sign off, I just want to give everybody an encouraging word.  Now that you are all back in school and all the summer excitement has dwindled down, you might forget the things you learned this summer.  Here’s what I learned this summer and encourage everyone to think about it.  My life has been on a roller coaster ride since this summer.  Although I had a job when I moved after this summer, filmed my small part in “The Genesis Code,” I needed and felt like there was something more.  I was praying every night for a better job, for financial freedom, and for God to open doors for me.  I finally got a call last week about one of my dream jobs, and for those of you who know me you know what it is…  Words have a powerful impact on your life.  We speak what’s on our hearts.  If you were at The Great Escape camps this summer, we said that “…our tongue is the strongest muscle in the body, but it’s the toughest to tame…”  I didn’t really think much about it until I started speaking what was on my heart. If you believe it, speak it, it will happen. Jesus states in Matthew 15:11-13 that your words plant something in our hearts and what comes out of our mouths, that’s what makes us “unclean.”.  A plant of truth will be strong, while a plant of lies, deceptions, and false hope will be rooted.  We all need to watch what we put on our hearts and what comes out of our mouths.

I hope everything is going well to everyone in our “fan club.”  I created a special email address if you have any questions, comments, or just want to shoot me or anybody (I’ll pass it on… they don’t know this yet but oh well) an email go right ahead.  ftbmitch@gmail.com I, or we, will try and respond to everyone, but like you, I’m, or we, also busy.  Until next time……..
