Prayer Warriors, I don't report as I ought during the season. Things move quickly. But I want to give you enough so that you can pray on point, if you're moved to do so.
CBN arrived a day early and shot all day yesterday. Gailon Totheroh, CBN Senior Reporter and science correspondent, was taken with the Star. He has ample material on tape to do a strong piece, and I know he intends to put the Star Project in a positive light. We need to pray that he will cut a great piece and can succeed in getting it aired early and often. Also that his producer will allot him appropriate time. The piece will likely be 5 - 10 minutes long. He expects it to be translated and broadcast in Central and South America, as well.
PBS will shoot here on December 11 for a piece they will air on their Religion & Ethics weekly magazine. It should be around 7 minutes. I feel good about the relationship developing with the producer, and have high hopes for the piece.
Today, I present in Colorado Springs. Got up at 4.30a, only to be socked in by fog. Could have slept until 6a! I'll nap in CoS before I present.
If you have time, join me in prayer.
"Father, stamina. Jesus needed it. He went into the wilderness to be alone with you because he was constantly surrounded by people. He loved the crowds, but he needed to recharge. Each of us labors hard and needs to recharge. Sometimes the holiday season makes that need greater. Help us to learn from the habits of the master. The best example of living a human life well. We ask that the media people who touch your celestial poetry do it with respect. We ask that you message survives being massaged by people with agendas of their own. We praise you for the way your DVD is being accepted by so many! Go, Lord! Now, help us calm before you, as did Jesus. Help us remember that Christmas is His, Christmas is yours! We love you, Lord! And we pray in His name, amen."

Not yet. Let me add to your list, because you're on the Star TEAM.
The news anchor at CBS Dallas has completed her story on the Star. It airs tomorrow night at 10p on Channel 11, if you're in the DFW area. Should be available to everyone on the web after that. I haven't seen it, but here is what she said:
"Thank you so much Rick -- you gave us a pot of gold. I think this might be one of the most beautiful and interesting stories I've told in my years here on the religion beat."
Spoke for t w o and o n e - h a l f h o u r s with the science reporter for CBN. He's decided to bring his film crew to town to shoot a piece on the Star. It will air before Christmas to at least a million viewers. Will also be translated and broadcast in Central and South America.
Sam's can't keep the Star DVD is stock!
OK. NOW let's give thanks!
"Dear Father! We are so blessed to be your children. Our hearts are so full at this time of year, when we look about us. We see what you have allowed us to enjoy, and we rejoice with our thanks! We also thank you that you are making your Name great among the nations with your Star! Go, Father! And thank you for letting us be on your team, delighting in all you do! We pray in the name of Jesus, amen!"

This afternoon, I'll be interviewed by Maria Arita, news anchor for CBS, Dallas. This TV interview is important for several reasons. First, Channel 11 has a huge audience. Second, Maria has successfully pitched this to her producer to run during sweeps week, when their audience will be at its maximum size. Third, if the interview goes well, it may be picked up by other CBS affiliates, or by mothership CBS for distribution nationwide. Anything could happen!
If you have time, please pray:
"Father, you have a history of giving your people the words to say at the right time. We all crave that, Lord, when we're on spot. Each of us longs to feel you prompting and pulling others towards yourself and your kingdom. We ask that Maria will ask excellent questions today, and that the answers will point relentlessly to you and your glory! Use this interview to take the story of your Star nationwide to an audience of millions! We ask this for your name's sake, and in the name of Jesus, amen!"
Rick
