Lanin Thomasma: Recent Episodes
Lanin D. Thomasma
Hosted by Lanin D. Thomasma, owner and proprietor of Art & Joe, Steelville's little coffee shop. A collection of writings, sermons, stores and musings, whatever is on Lanin's heavily-caffinated mind. Hoping you might find something useful in there.

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.
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
