FEBRUARY 2010!

Zimmer's Fall from the Pedestal

THE MIRROR OF REFLECTION

"I fell in love with Jute Joint Corn Whiskey when I was around thirteen years old and graduated with a degree in glasses and bottles of Smirnoff Vodka chased by drugs at the age of fifty. I have come full circle...So yes, I have a story to tell and my prayer is that you are blessed by it. " -Elder Zimmerman A. Hastings

As you look into the mirror of Zimmer's life don't be surprise if you see a reflection of your own because “Alcohol” is one of the many false comfort zones we escape to that provides us a place to dwell without confronting the real issue which is usually …our self. How can you find peace if you're constantly chasing after a war? - VJPerry

FUTURE 2010 BOOK RELEASE

Forgiveness is a gift allowed by God...

What we choose to do with it is left to our judgment...

However, God's Judgment is Final.

OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE THOUGHTS OF A CHILD

2009-10-01T07:37:00.001-07:00

This is a book inspired by my grandchildren, Jaedyn, Aliviah and Noah wanting to showcase their own talents and gifts.

It is a book of poetry written completely by them which I edited and published. OPEN THE EYES OF THE THOUGHTS OF A CHILD can also be purchased on http://www.amazon.com/ . They are execited!

In doing this, I wanted to instill in them early that the gifts and talents that they process need to be exercised early and maintained to a degree that fear in their usuage has no bearing as they mature. Additionally, I created a writing club social network for them and their friends entittled, TICTOC (Transcribing Ideas that Capture the Thoughts of a Child). http://www.thoughtsofachild.ning.com/ The club will publish a book a year in each age group. We hope to have children across the country sign up and share their thoughts. So check them out!

2008 Play - GOSPEL THIEVES

2008-05-23T08:06:00.000-07:00

GOSPEL THIEVES is a story dealing with how we can misinterpret the Word of God, attempt to steal God's Glory and try to work our way into Heaven. The main characters include Detective George (he says the Lord has called him to be a "Detective of the Word"). He is well versed in the Word and takes on the church in the real view of the Bible. There is Chima Jean who is trying to work her way in to heaven, Gabriel who has strayed away and comes back with her challenging children, Leonard who is a "political correct Christian", Mother Gertrude who belives in Santa Claus, Mother Milmine who sees everything her way, Brother Milmine who is a newly reformed "hen peck husband", and Pastor Reed who continually attempts to feed his sheep.

This production is realistic, funny and should compel us to learn more of what we think we know about the Bible.

It is a "Denomination-Breaking Gathering of Unity" from the directors, actors, the musicians to those helping behind the stage for the message in this production. God has blessed this production overflowingly and the best is still yet to come.

2007 Play - DON"T BOX ME IN

2008-05-13T18:29:00.000-07:00

DON'T BOX ME IN is a story of Wilson who had always believed that God only talked to preachers and had no idea what his purpose in life was until he met an old man living next door to the church named Mr. David who challenges him to talk and listen for God's voice. As Wilson became more in tune with the voice of God and His will for his life, Wilson finds out that not every one is as excited about his new found freedom. He is bombarded with cruel accussations and has to make a stand to do what God has asked him to do or allow himself to be "boxed in" and bow to the will of his church members.

2006 Play - KEEP YOUR EYES ON GOD

2008-05-13T18:27:00.000-07:00

KEEP YOUR EYES ON GOD is a production of wisdom. So many times we make decisions and assumptions about our life without consulting God. Our eyes are focused on what we want and not with what God wants for us. This is a production that deal with the single person, relationships, marriage and the struggle to make them all work. We can spend mulitudes of time talking with our friends about our problems and solutions but maybe a passing moment if any talking and praying with God who has the correct answer to anything that we deal with in this life.

2003 & 2004 Play - WEAPONS OF UNFORGIVENESS

2008-05-13T18:25:00.000-07:00

The Weapons of Unforgiveness is the story of six adult children’s struggle of forgiveness for the thirty-year abandonment of their father and his deathbed request to see them.

To aid in the reunification of her children Lincoln, Raquel, Leon, Lucy, Valerie, and Richard with their father Ben, their mother Lynn is the communication link between father and children. She conveys Ben’s request, and encourages them to seek God for strength to forgive as she has done but the children’s taunted memories have limited their human capacity to forgive and a will to attempt especially when they find out they had other siblings.

Lynn having tried all she can to convince her children finally challenges them with their pains of abandonment; emptiness, pride, weakness, hate, time and fear however Ben dies with the forgiveness of one of children and his ex-wife.

2002 Play - UNCONSCIOUS SIN

2008-05-13T18:23:00.000-07:00

UNCONSCIOUS SIN deals with the issues we deny we have in life. Issues that affect our health, emotional well being and our walk with God. Most of us live in denial about something...if we are honest with ourselves. This production challenges us to open our eyes and look inside of ourselves and to stop looking at others judging their lives to perhaps make us feel better about our own sin.

1999 Play - ONLY THE STRONG IN CHRIST

2008-05-13T18:21:00.000-07:00

ONLY THE STRONG IN CHRIST WILL SURVIVE is a play that hits home with many women in domestic abuse. It looks at a Christian woman who remains in a relationship of repeated physical and mental abuse using the word of God as the reason even though God has allowed escape. Seperated from her estranged husband, Phyllis waits on his return to resume her marriage even after the plea from her son to let him go. Scared that his father will hurt his mother, Johnny struggle with the decision to kill him when he finds his father drunk on a park bench one night.This production cries out to women whether Chrisitan or not to release that hold on devastating abusive relationships that knows no love or compassion and continues to endanger the lives of their children and themselves.

1997 Play- GOD'S CHILDREN

2008-05-13T18:17:00.000-07:00

GOD'S CHILDREN was adapted from the following poem I wrote entittled, "The Day Zimmer Lost Religion" published in Richland Community College Creative Writing Club's 1996 IMAGES X MAGAZINE.

The Day Zimmer Lost Religion

Church steps housed

the silver-mop framed face

with jagged brown teeth

of seventy-three years.

Numerous coats encircled

this shell awaiting the

assembly of the Christian

members inside.

Today Zimmer would visit God;

the Man the preacher talked

of each Sunday.

Clumsily withdrawing and

balancing each foot, the climb

to the top challenged his

mental determination.

Giggles, laughter, tears and

disapproving voices

mimickled him.

Turning abruptly, clutching his

coat, Zimmer focused on his

travel upward.

Raising swollen feet he struggled

physically, emotionally downward.

So many times we judge people by the way they look, talk and act and never know how much courage it took for them to make that "one step" toward God. And before they have reached the door, our actions have told them that they are not welcome...

1996 Play- GOD'S TRYIN' TO TELL YOU SOMETHING

2008-05-13T18:14:00.000-07:00

"God's Tryin' To Tell You Something" is a story of what I would call deaf-ear syndrome; when God is trying to talk to us and we refuse to listen....because it's not what we want to hear or do. This play is the struggle of learning to trust God and not your own wisdom.

1995 Play- THE CRY OF A CHILD

2008-05-13T17:56:00.000-07:00

"The Cry of A Child" centers around the love, acceptance and attention we need from infancy to the day we die. Children ask for it in many ways that are often left unheard and/or pushed aside as later... This story travels in the lives of children seeking and the destructive and life ending situations they find themselves in when they think their cries are unheard.
