We can raise the consciousness of the people and really make a difference over the next 40 days. I know a fast is a private discipline between the believer and God, or it can be done for health reasons. This is not the fast that we choose. We choose to feed the hungry. This is not a private fast this is a corporate call to action designed to get attention. Attention for those who are forgotten after the holidays, those thousands we see year-round at our offices for rent assistance food and clothing, those we feed weekly at outdoor camps and indoor ghettos right here in Atlanta, and those around the State that we serve through partnerships with other organizations meeting the needs with our help. What better time than during one of the holiest times of the year for humble servants to do their reasonable service. The prophetic, our ability to speak truth to power, to know the times and see Gods hand in the earth; will only come from our prayer life. So we are asking Atlanta to pray for us as they help us serve God`s people. The prophetic life is a product of prayer, and when we see the people on Easter the whole dinner is one great prayer Oh Lord bring us together to know the true value of life the human soul.

At one point I was doing theater in San Francisco and actually living in the theater. I was broke. I was boxing - working out in a gym - and this trainer got me into the union. He started putting all the guys in his stable into the union. So I started making money, stopped acting and saved, to get to Europe. I kept moving around. Three years later I started acting again, because acting drove me. But I was still restless. I studied acting in New York for only six months before I wanted to get a ship for Europe. I`d heard that in Brooklyn you could get into the Scandinavian maritime union and get a ship without having papers. Wound up in Florida, then New Orleans, then Houston. I eventually came to California, worked in a bowling alley as a short-order cook. I drifted, picked tomatoes and beans and lived in labor camps in Ventura County. I wound up in Big Sur. I just kept moving. I went to Ketchikan, Alaska, lived with the Indians in stilt houses, worked in a lumber mill. And I still knew I would get back into acting. Eventually I traveled to Yugoslavia on a freighter, then went to Valencia, Spain and then on to Tangier. I spent three months in Morocco. I wound up in Rome - and finally started acting. - On his life before acting.

On losing the audience of `Star Trek: Enterprise`: "I don`t know exactly when they tuned out, but they did, obviously, somewhere along season one or two. We had a great season last year with the Xindi storyline and we still weren`t able to get them back. For network shows, it doesn`t seem particularly important for them to publicize the science fiction genre, or it wasn`t that important for (UPN) to publicize our show. They sort of let that go and I don`t think we had a lot of momentum in terms of backing from the network. But they have their own concerns. So I think it was a combination of things. I think different camps weren`t in sync at the right time to draw in people."

I went to school in a black tar-paper barrack (as a child in internment camps) and began the day seeing the barbed-wire fence, and thank god those barbed-wire fences are now long gone for Japanese Americans.

He was a brilliant producer who made a fortune and, of course, lost every cent in hare-brained investments, ... And he was in love with the male ingénue in the theatrical troupe; the only downside was the ingénue was, by this time, about 52, and he kept insisting on playing 18-year-olds. This guy insisted every season on doing two Shakespeare plays, and invariably somebody tried to murder him during the performance because, strangely enough, Shakespeare wasn`t big in the mining camps.
