I kinow it's not grammatically correct, but that's the order of our relationship.  I know him. I've studied and re-studied his writings..read books about his life; and I've portrayed him over 1100 times in my one man play, ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN, The Life of St. Paul.

But, Paul doesn't know me.

I'm an actor, retired military, West Pointer.  I became an actor, following retirement, because I wanted something challenging.  I was intent on becoming a movie star, making millions of dollars, but it didn't work out that way.  The Lord took the center of my life and made me aware that He could care less about me becoming  a famous actor.

I was led to the Concordant Publishing  Company, home of the Concordant Bible..one that is the only faithful interpretation of the many texts in their original language.

It was here that I first became acquainted with Paul and his teachings,  understanding of which did not come easily, but thanks to 'door-openers", Glyn Williams  and Walter Dane, I was made to  understand what he had to say, and why his teaching is completely different than which is taught throughout the Christian world. It was then that I wanted to tell people about Paul and what he represented, but I couldn't stop people on the ocorner and tell them how I felt, so I wrote ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN.  This occurred in 1979.

God took a direct hand in the preparation of my play on two separate occasions to ensure that I didn't screw it up..more about this later.

God wanted His special apostle portrayed, so that those whom He chose would be in the audience and would hear and through His grace understand what Paul was  teaching.  Somebody, I don't know who, would have said to him or herself, "What did  he  say..all will be saved?"  I've got to read again what Paul wrote.

You should know  that you could be the most learned of men, a brilliant theologian and still not understand the truth..the tenets of Paul's teaching.  Only through the grace of God does understranding come.  Peter said, "We grow through grace and understanding"..bob4 Paul
