Preacher versus Teacher

People laugh and point fingers. I laugh and point fingers back. How else can you explain that God speaks through you than to publicly admit that you are one of God's choices? The problem with religion is that its a business and who you know is what leads you to helping to change people's lives. Spirituality leads you to places of quiet darkness. It is there that you set aside your desire to be a preacher and become one of God's teachers.

Still At War With Time

I've never been a fan of time. No moment passes that I don't feel like I'm wasteful of what little time God gave me to live and breathe. It's extremely difficult for me to see through other people's reasons for wanting to be late. But whose right? Or are we both moving left?

Remove The Label

The infield of the Charlotte Motor Speedway is an ever changing working machine that's been spoiled by real people being themselves. In the past few years major corporations have sent into the infield their top dog stars to study the craft of the hardest working person on the planet. Bosses are undercover. I find tremendous joy in locating the bosses. Not to blow their cover. But to create communication with their reasons for wanting to be real. When all they ever had to do was remove the label.

Mike Boettcher The Hornets Nest

The Hornet’s Nest is a groundbreaking and immersive feature film, using unprecedented real footage to tell the story of an elite group of U.S. troops sent on a dangerous mission deep inside one of Afghanistan’s most hostile valleys. The film culminates with what was planned as a single day strike turning into nine intense days of harrowing combat against an invisible, hostile enemy in the country’s complex terrain where no foreign troops have ever dared to go before. Two embedded journalists, a father and son (Mike and Carlos Boettcher) bravely followed the troops through the fiercest and most blood-soaked battlegrounds of the conflict. What resulted is an intensely raw feature film experience that will give audiences a deeply emotional and authentic view of the heroism at the center of this gripping story. INTERVIEW WITH MIKE BOETTCHER FROM THE SAN ANTONIO CURRENT MAY 16th Award-winning veteran war correspondent Mike Boettcher has seen a lot during his more than 30 years working as a journalist. From being kidnapped by terrorists in El Salvador in 1985 to surviving an attack by a suicide bomber in Baghdad in the mid-Aughts, Boettcher has found himself in a number of extremely dangerous situations throughout his career. In the new documentary The Hornet’s Nest, Boettcher and his son Carlos, both working for ABC News, spend two years in Afghanistan capturing footage of U.S. soldiers at war. The Current sat down with Boettcher during a tour stop in San Antonio a couple weeks ago after a screening of the film. Q. Tell me about the first time you ever stepped foot in Afghanistan. A. The first time I stepped foot in Afghanistan was early 2002. The war began after 9/11 and I went there, and there actually weren’t many troops coming in. When I stepped foot in Afghanistan, there’s something about that country – that part of the world – that has so much history. You’re stepping foot into a place that has been the crossroads of history for millenniums. That was not lost on me. I knew anything we would undertake there was not going to be easy. Q. In The Hornet’s Nest, you go into Afghanistan with your son Carlos by your side, who is also a journalist. Was it difficult for you to be a journalist there doing a job and also be a father who obviously was worried about his son’s well-being? A. The story takes a whole different spin with [Carlos] there. I’m a dad, so I’m looking out for my son. I’m with my son in one of the most dangerous places on earth. The one thing I couldn’t let happen was I couldn’t let my son die. People always tell me they think it’s fascinating to see a film about a father and son in a war zone telling the stories of the war. We never wanted to tell a father-son story. But people thought Americans would want to see that part of the story. We acquiesced and went ahead and told those stories about the father-son relationship because it’s something everyone can relate to. Not everyone can relate to war. Through the father-son story, we wanted to tell the bigger story of the war with all these other fathers and sons and mothers and daughters who are over there. Q. Why don’t you think Americans relate to the war today? A. I think you can see a feature movie about a war or watch a news story, but you really don’t feel it. That’s why I wanted to make this film. I wanted the American public to feel the sacrifice of war. I wanted them to feel immersed in what really happens. People die. It’s not pretty. People have a hard time relating to that. We’re here [in the U.S.] and we are safe. We have two oceans on each side of our border. We don’t have to worry as much about the war and aren’t as attuned to our security as nations in Europe are. Q. During the Bush Administration, the American public was never allowed to see caskets of American soldiers. That, of course, has changed in the last few years. Do you feel like that is something we needed to see to understand the sacrifice you’re talking about? A. Absolutely. In the early parts of WWII, the War Department prohibited images of U.S. deaths being shown in American newspapers. People forget during WWII, there was a period around 1943 where support for WWII was flagging. President Roosevelt made a decision and it was filtered through the War Department that those images could be shown. The first time the American public saw the consequences of war was, I believe, after the Battle in Anzio (in 1944). Photographs were shown. It galvanized American public opinion to continue supporting the war. It’s a little known historical fact. So, hiding the consequences is not the way to go. We need to show what our people are doing out there day after day after day to connect U.S. citizens with the decision to go to war. Q. By the end of this year, the U.S. should have most of its troops finally out of Afghanistan. I know you’re going to be there with the military during that drawdown. How do you see that playing out? Q. We’ll see. I believe we’re still going to have about 5,000 troops stay [in Afghanistan]. Those will not be combat troops, but support troops. I think we have an obligation to see this through. Look, we pulled the ripcord and pulled everyone out of Iraq and Iraq is in total chaos right now. As Secretary Rumsfeld has said before: If you break it, you have to fix it. I think we have an obligation to support these changes that our involvement after 9/11 brought. We have to be able to help the Afghan army supply itself. We have to help with political processes and have Americans there to continue trying to movie Afghanistan toward democracy. We have to have people who can build a judicial system. We have to have people who can train police. We must continue our involvement for a period of years until Afghanistan can stand on its own. Q. You’ve been covering the war for so long, would you say you’ve become jaded by the things you’ve seen? A. I used to think I was jaded, but then as you grow older you realize these are experiences that someone is experiencing uniquely. You may have seen something like that before, but for them, they’re in the moment. I think I took my job for granted for a few years. I was really excited when I got into journalism, and I covered all these things early. What I did was something important. What I think we need to do as journalists is embrace every day. Every day is a new day. There’s a new story out there. That’s why I love this job. We never know what we’re doing the next day. As I’ve gotten older, I’m now more excited than I was when I was 21 years old. Q. When you look at the makeup of the young U.S. soldiers who are fighting these wars, what do you see? After 9/11, people were signing up for the military because they had a sense of patriotism. Is that still the case? Are 18 and 19-year-old kids signing up because they feel they have a sense of duty to their country or has that changed? A. I think a majority of them still join because they want to serve their country. There’s something in their upbringing that compelled them to serve. Of course, some get in because they don’t know what else to do. Q. Does that make a different type of soldier? A. Initially, yeah, but once they’re there, they all become the same. I think they become committed to their fellow soldiers. The fact that they’re somewhere doing something important resonates with them. Everyone [joins the military] for a lot of different reasons, but what goes through that training funnel and comes out the other end are people who really love their country and have a connection to what it means to sacrifice for this nation. I actually think there should be some form of required national service. You don’t have to serve in the military. You can work in our schools. You can work to rebuild our nation. I think that younger generations need to be connected to their country and what it means to serve it. We get very individually orientated and lose sight of the bigger picture. People take the freedoms of this nation for granted and they shouldn’t because it could all go away. Q. What does it feel like to put your life in someone else’s hands when you’re on the ground in a country as dangerous as Afghanistan? Again, I know you’re there to do a job, but I’m sure the soldiers you are with feel some sense of responsibility for you. A. I feel like my life is in my hands. I made the decision to go there. I don’t want the soldiers there next to me to feel like they have to protect me. Now, they do. I don’t have a weapon. But I’m a volunteer. No one put a gun to my head and told me I had to go to Afghanistan. Frankly, when it comes to warfare, there are few people in this country who are more experienced than I am. So, I know how to take care of myself.

Accepting Weirdness

We are all born weird. It's our choice to keep it from hitting the surface. We fear judgement. We fear doubt. We fear the success of building quality relationships based on how weird we truly are.

Hello God Is That You?

What do people mean when they say they heard God speak to them? How can you believe it? Why would anyone believe that Jesus walking about in his day would be the son of God? Where do thoughts and words come from? Is it the Devil wearing a mask? Why not? You believe everything you read on the web.

Barbara Walters Isn't The Hammer

After fifty years the Broadcast industry celebrates the passion and drive behind this industries greatest interviewer. Never once. During the the fifty years. Has Barbara Walters hidden her tools from those chasing careers in the communications business. Her being available to speak about her successes isn't what she's allowing you to learn from. She isn't the hammer that drove the nail. She is the carpenter that borrowed the hammer that kept the platform in place. True leaders in Broadcasting are never afraid to share the art that invited them to interviews and performances. True Broadcasters know it can all go away just as fast as it arrived. In every book that Barbara Walters has written. She isn't bragging of her successes. Think openly at the tools this carpenter is handing to the next generation.

Haaving Too Much

Why aren't you happy at work? Because too many want and when their needs are being met. They're accused of wanting too much. Why aren't you happy at home? Can we stop wanting? Can we pull back from desire and figure out a better way to take the sting out of being lonely?

The Disconnection

Have you ever paid close attention to the voice of your next breath? There is sound when you suck in air. There is sound when you release air. But when shifting gears. When in is swiftly turned to out. There is silence. What did your Mother hear when God breathed your life into her womb?

Word Doodling

The act of word doodling is nothing more than tossing thought onto paper without going back to erase. Just set the stuff free. Who cares how your perfection habits have destroyed your path! Who cares about what others may or might think! If God put you on this planet to please everyone... then you wouldn't be anything but sad. Your gift is that imagination. There are no rules except... if what you write offers injury to someone... get rid of it quickly. Those dark moments will come and go. But the act of word doodling will introduce you to a self that has always been there. This stuff will make you laugh, learn and live.

Rick Springfield

Simon & Schuster’s Touchtone imprint will publish Springfield’s fiction debut, MAGNIFICENT VIBRATION. Already receiving rave reviews, Booklist says, “Captivating, poignant, and hilarious, MAGNIFICENT VIBRATION proves that some of the most interesting stories can come from pretty unlikely places.” The deeply meaningful and over-the-top novel features a hero who has hit a dead end in his life but who serendipitously receives an 800 connection to God via an inscription in a mysterious self-help book and who just may have a shot at saving the planet. "The only good grades I ever got in school before I was kicked out were for creative writing,” says Springfield. “I thought that fiction might be in my future but then my career took a different path once the Beatles showed me what a blast being in a band could be. Writing my memoir reminded me how much I love the craft. So I decided to give fiction a shot again. MAGNIFICENT VIBRATION is the result. I’m still not quite sure where it came from, but once I got going, it practically wrote itself. I’ve heard writers I admire speak of that phenomenon, so maybe I’m on the right track.” Springfield’s autobiography, Late, Late at Night (Touchstone 2010) entered The New York Times best-seller list at No. 13 while also landing on the Los Angeles Times and Publishers Weekly top-sellers lists. Rolling Stone named it one of the top-25 rock memoirs of all time. In Late, Late At Night, which Springfield wrote entirely himself, Rick speaks frankly about the depression he’s battled throughout his life. “I’m not the shiny, happy guy people think I am. I suppose they confuse who I really am with my stage persona,” says Springfield. “But good can come from hardship. Depression causes me to over-analyze events in my life, and that’s actually a bonus when it comes to songwriting. Hey, if things had gone my way at the time and I’d gotten laid, Jessie’s Girl would never have been written.” In 2013, Springfield teamed up with Dave Grohl on Grohl’s multi-faceted passion project, Sound City, which encompassed a documentary (Sound City), an album (Sound City: Real to Reel), and the Sound City Players tour, a string of critically acclaimed shows with fellow documentary subjects including Stevie Nicks, Trent Reznor, John Fogerty, and Lee Ving among others. The Foo Fighters served as backing band for Rick’s set with Dave Grohl’s notable declarations during the performances as, "I want to be Rick Springfield!" and “Bucket list. Check!" CraveOnline called Sound City: Real to Reel “a powerhouse collection of some of the greatest musical talent ever ass1embled.” Springfield and Grohl co-wrote The Man That Never Was, which was inspired by a true story from World War II. “Writ7ing music can be a solo endeavor but at its heart, rock is collaborative. Working with Dave and the Foo Fighters was collaboration at its best. Those guys are true musicians: creative, spontaneous, generous, and talented. Working with them was a great experience.” The Man That Never Was has been widely recognized by critics as one of the best songs on the Sound City soundtrack. “The highlights… are led by Stevie Nicks and, yes, Rick Springfield.” (People) Springfield has also been hailed for his part in the documentary: “The film's breakout story is arguably Rick Springfield.” (Rolling Stone) The Sound City: Real to Reel CD also won the 2014 Grammy® for Best Compilation Soundtrack. In October 2012, Springfield released, Songs for the End of the World, his 17th studio recording and collaboration with songwriter Matt Bissonette. Songs for the End of the World addresses the need to be consoled and cherished in an age of anxiety about the future of the planet. Filled with personal lyrics and giant hooks, it’s a pop/rock tour de force. “It's high energy,” Rick explains about the album’s mix of moods. “At its core, it’s about looking for love and solace while the world around us—everything we once felt sure about—disintegrates. Even with the end so palpably imminent, we’re still human beings, filled with longing and—maybe against all odds—hope. I believe music is healing,” says Springfield. The Tampa Bay Times said, “Springfield remains one of the best live entertainers of his generation -- maybe the top dog -- so if he wants to explore darker closets on studio albums, I'm not going to discourage him one bit. Especially when the result is a project I enjoy as much as this one.” Also in 2012, an independently produced documentary titled An Affair of the Heart captured the relationship between Rick Springfield and his loyal fanbase. The documentary debuted at numerous film festivals, winning special jury awards at the Nashville, Florida, Boston, and Daytona Film Festivals. An Affair of the Heart premiered to record numbers on the EPIX channel in May 2013 and is now available on DVD. In the early ’70s, Springfield had a handful of hit records in his native Australia before emigrating to the United States. Bouncing between record labels and looking to make ends meet until his musical career took hold in the US, he resorted to acting and eventually landing the role of Dr. Noah Drake during the heyday and cult phenomenon of daytime TV’s General Hospital. Simultaneously, the explosive success of his breakthrough 1981 album Working Class Dog was followed by Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me Yet, Living in Oz, Hard to Hold soundtrack and Tao, establishing Springfield as a multi-platinum superstar. Despite his original and unwavering passion for music, many at the time mistook Springfield for a soap star hoping to convert daytime success to a faux and possibly fleeting music career. History proves that nothing could have been further from the truth. Springfield is content to let his music and four decades of productivity speak for itself. “If you pay attention to where I’ve put my time, who I really am becomes clear.” In addition to General Hospital, Rick’s other notable TV roles include a 4-episode arc on Californication, Hawaii Five-O, Drop Dead Diva, Hot In Cleveland and the 1994-1997 TV series High Tide. Springfield’s current musical career renaissance can be traced back to the albums Shock/Denial/Anger/Acceptance (2004) and Venus in Overdrive (Ume, 2008), which entered the Billboard sales charts at No. 28, his highest debut in 20 years. In 2005, Sony Legacy’s released the retrospective double CD Written in Rock: The Rick Springfield Anthology. Official web site: http://www.rickspringfield.com/

Your Story Watch What You Are Saying

I don't read Face Book and Twittter entries. 98% of the time. I don't know what the author was trying to say. I see words. I assume emotions. Rather than fight my way out of the hole the author delivered us to. I choose instead. To walk away from having the opportunity of being buried.

When Rainbows Cry

I find it fascinating as well as entertaining to page backwards and participate with thoughts written sixteen or more years ago. Inside an age when barely a memory remains. And the man with the writing instrument unveils the slightest of slight and or the emptiest of times. And still finds something positive to share.

Ben and Julianna Zobrist Doble Play

BEN ZOBRIST AND HIS BOOK DOUBLE PLAY TAMPA BAY RAYS ALL-STAR MLB BASEBALL PLAYER BEN ZOBRIST AND POP MUSIC ARTIST/WIFE JULIANNA ZOBRIST TO RELEASE AUTOBIOGRAPHY All-Star MLB baseball player Ben Zobrist (Tampa Bay Rays) and pop artist wife Julianna Zobrist are gearing up for the release of their highly-anticipated autobiography Double Play. Co-written with best-selling author Mike Yorkey (Linspired: The Remarkable Rise of Jeremy Lin), Double Play will publish nationwide on April 1, 2014 through B&H Publishing Group, prior to the 2014 MLB season. Double Play is an autobiography that gives fans a remarkable look into the hearts of an athlete and artist whose talents and devotion to each other, their faith and family make them one of the most respected figures in Major League Baseball and pop music today. Their latest project offers practical insight, encouragement and stories of life and love that both men and women will find inspiration through, to live their lives to the fullest potential, while providing a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the life of this powerful couple. The book features 16 chapters with split narratives between Ben and Julianna, giving readers a candid perspective from each author. From childhood through adulthood, the Zobrists share poignant accounts of life events as they talk about the obstacles faced along the road and the journey that has led them to where they are today. During the off-season, the Zobrists are dynamic speakers who share about marriage, relationships, baseball and their faith, affecting the lives of others in a powerful way. That impact is seen on the playing field as well, as Sports Illustrated recently named Ben as "one of the most valuable players in baseball," due to his flexibility and his combination of skills. But, Zobrist sees his purpose for life far beyond baseball or the world’s recognition. "Double Play is raw and honest," says Ben. "(It shares) an honesty that will hopefully spur us all on to seeking out the truth which has absolutely nothing to do with our merit or deeds.” A recognized pop music artist who is actively involved in film and radio, Julianna shares her husband’s passion for being a testament and witness to others. Exemplified by her current album Say It Now, the title cut encourages others to speak up and live boldly – the music that her husband uses during every MLB game as his walk-up song at home plate. Coinciding with the release of Double Play, Julianna is currently in the studio recording her third project, working with top producers in Los Angeles and Nashville. Through Julianna’s heartfelt music, she continually touches the heart with her personal lyrics that stem from her love for Ben, her commitment to her family and her passion to share hope and a message of faith and life with a world in need. “I want to live a life that shows my daughter how to love her husband like they are newlyweds forever and a life that seizes the crazy moments and makes them fun,” says Julianna. “I want to live a life that shows my children and others watching, how to live fully…not simply how to be balanced.” In addition to the baseball world, Ben and Julianna often speak and perform at festivals, churches and schools throughout the year. Their impact on those they speak to and the many that they regularly pour their lives out to gives them the drive and motivation to reach out in as many ways as they can. “How we were brought together as two pastor’s kids from the nation’s heartland to form a double-play combination, is a unique story that we love to share,” says Ben. “Now we’re teaming up in Double Play to share our journey.” The Zobrists live in Tennessee for four months out of the year during the baseball off-season; Port Charlotte, Fla. for a month and a half during spring training; and then in Tampa Bay for the regular season. Out of the six baseball months, they are on the road for half of them. As parents to two young children, the Zobrists know that their lifestyle involves sacrifices, but they are also willing to make those sacrifices to be together as a family as much as possible. They know where their commitment lies. Double Play is a powerful and vulnerable account of the heart. “You may be entertained sometimes, hopefully encouraged and perhaps challenged even,” says Julianna.

God's Chirp

They say the world has been overtaken by sound. I believe... Man has made it too noisy. We love our digital devices. But through their way of making it into our lives...other shapes of creativity have changed. Man might be the most creative of all shapes but the end result seems to be more noise. The sound of baseball without a cell phone going off. I sat in church yesterday and an incoming text from the other side of the room took my imagination off the God game. What sounds from God are we missing?

YOLA You Only Live Once

The hottest phrase paying off on the campus is YOLA! It's given students of all ages. A free pass. Teachers nor parents want to challenge YOLA. It's true! You only live once. But that doesn't guarantee the heart and soul peace. It only challenges you to seek a newer better high. There's such a thing. An addiction to excitement. And nobody wants to confront it. YOLA!

Dee Wallace

Motivation can sometimes be the most misunderstood path. It's not that we don't know what it means. We just haven't figured out how to use the energy it generates. It becomes too easy to move back into those old pair of slippers. Some people ready novels and autobiographies. Others feast on the colorful curves of comics and fantasy. I've always loved books of motivation. To take what's being offered. And put air in its tires. To try out the spin in the wheels. To twist of the soul. The bend in the knees. Then put it outside this shell. As if to be giving away a slice of hot fresh southern style pecan pie. Dee Wallace is a blast! Instead of racing into the pages expecting an instant change. Spend every day discovering incredible things about yourself. The energy is mind blowing. The excitement of feeling great about tomorrow is worth reaching for. No matter where you travel. Vampires will suck the life right out of your dreams. Dee Wallace makes being you. Adventurous! More importantly...accepted by the mind body and soul that brought you to the dance. You... Thirty years ago, Dee Wallace, a gifted young actress from the wilds of Kansas, dropped into Hollywood with hopeful expectations. Two years later she landed the role of a lifetime and walked onto a soundstage knowing that playing Mary, the smart, funny young mother of Michael, Elliott and Gertie, was going to change her life. Born into a loving but impoverished family, Deanna Bowers was the bright, beautiful peacemaker of an alcoholic father and a mother who put aside her own dreams in order to support her husband and maintain a happy, stable home. Like so many others who will relate to her childhood, Dee grew up under the push-pull pressure of wanting to perform and make her father proud - and happy enough not to drink - and at the same time remaining quiet and sweet so as not to give family anger a reason to surface. With welcome clarity and honesty and without a trace of self-pity, she writes about these experiences as she was growing up, including her father's tragic suicide, and then shows how, until examined and reconciled, they kept cropping up again and again in her personal and professional life. Even readers whose early lives were less dramatic and ultimately less tragic will be guided to recognize these same self-destructive patterns, and cheered to know their own bright lights, once uncovered and freed from fear, still burn. Indeed, even with the unprecedented critical and popular success of “E.T.” and stellar reviews of her performance in it, the next years did not bring the expected acclaim and financial security. Rather, they brought her the opportunity to leave fear behind as she somehow lived through the loss of her soul-mate, the knowledge of perfect love as she welcomed her long-awaited and only child, and the time to look at the life she had created and the ability to re-connect with her inner light and begin to create something new: herself. It wasn't the red carpet life she had expected, but it was so much better. Wallace has never stopped working in film, television and stage, and has more than 130 films and scores of television roles and series to her credit. She is currently among a handful of in-demand actresses for guest starring roles in TV drama. Her irresistible presence on speaking forums and two top internet radio shows have made her a sought-after inspirational speaker, spiritual teacher and healer. Dee is a true tour de force, working with every kind of co-star from Cujo to Lassie, as well as countless directors, producers and some of Hollywood's biggest names, including Peter Jackson, Wes Craven, Joe Dante, Stephen King and Blake Edwards. Ms. Wallace became an icon in the role that would define motherhood for a generation, as Mary in Stephen Speilberg's ET: The Extraterrestrial. Her 150 films range from some of the scariest to some of the funniest ever made, including Cujo, The Howling, 10, The Frighteners and Critters. She has starred in four television series and more than 400 commercials and is one of Hollywood's most sought-after TV guest stars including appearances in Grey's Anatomy; Cold Case; Without a Trace; Ghost Whisperer; My Name is Earl; Criminal Minds, Saving Grace, Law and Order, and The Office. A beloved acting coach, she is also an internationally known healer, with two global radio shows and a series of healing seminars. Her insight into the joy of “conscious creation” was one of the reasons she was led to share her knowing with a larger audience through Bright Light. In her recently released third book Bright Light (O-Books), she takes readers along on Wallace's emotional, spiritual and professional journey but even as we cheer for her triumphs and grieve for her unbearable losses, she doesn't allow us to sit on the sidelines as merely an audience to her life. Rather she uses her journey as a metaphor for always expanding the lessons she experienced in her own life to a larger wisdom valuable for all of us. Her gifted writing is inclusive, reaching out to connect with readers as with unflinching honesty she takes responsibility for the manifestation of pain and disappointments in her life, as well as the creation of love and happiness for its joys and successes. And she beckons her readers, who almost imperceptibly recognize their own journey, to learn from the spiritual lessons, which are the focus of each chapter.

Texting While Dreaming

Has there ever been a time when dreams haven't changed the path you've walked? The older we get. The more I hear people say they've stopped dreaming. The difference between having a dream and actually dreaming is huge! Dreaming of being a radio jock in LA... I gave up on that. Dreams about flying? I had one just last night! Why do we dream what we dream? Have you ever taken notes?
