Just a quick post today. I’m at film festival, where my feature film Healing River has been nominated for Best Picture of the Year by ICVM (International Christian Visual Media). My wife Trudy and our terrifying six pound watch-cat are guarding the castle while I’m away. You can read a bit more about the nomination by clicking here.

    Tenacity trumps talent. Been thinking about perseverance. Grandma Leora lived through such difficult (and terrible) days, but she had hope, perseverance, buoyed by resilience. Bless you for sharing these quotes.

    Thanks for the inspiration, Mitch. Especially appreciate Churchill’s quote, given the trials (and failures) he faced, and yet he became a great hero of Britain. Praying that your superb film Healing River receives the accolades it deserves and an even broader audience as a result!
