News Blog Launched
For the last five years, the "DIM News" has been updated periodically as we saw the need to update folks on what was happening with the drama ministry. Over the last two years, there hasn't been much to tell about on the drama front, because our "top story" has been Jenn's ongoing health crisis.
Well, that's no longer the case. Jenn's been off IV nutrition for six weeks now, and there's no reason to believe that she's headed back to the hospital any time soon. She's still suffering from lingering gastroparesis—but with the gastric stimulator finally doing some good and having learned a lot about what kinds of food Jenn can tolerate (jams, jellies, protein shakes, crackerbread and tofu!), we're now moving into more of a management phase with the illness (as we learned to do with Jenn's fibromyalgia three years ago).
The immediate (two-year) crisis has passed, and Jenn's recovering some of her body weight and the bulk of her emotional and cognitive capacities. She's working part time now, in the interests of building up her stamina in preparation for full-time work again later.
But what's really changed over the last two years is that the work of DIM is no longer our primary ministry, with our writing projects and publishing on the side. It's the other way around now. We're more involved with the work on Hollywood Jesus than ever: the After Eden Journal ran for two years, we've just completed our first year of coverage on the upcoming Narnia film franchise, and we've reviewed more movies in the last year than in the previous three years combined. And Hollywood Jesus Books has published six books in the last year.
So this DIM news blog now replaces the old "newsletter" style DIM news. And the emphasis will no longer be just on drama—which is just as well, since there's not much to report on there. But the blog will be updated on a regular basis, much more frequently than the old DIM news ever was.
So don't expect "health update" emails from us any longer. But do expect to be able to stay more informed about what we're up to by bookmarking this blog and checking it often!

Dear Jenn and Greg:
I am praying for you today. You are in Tennessee and many other points after Tennessee. We are thrilled to hear of the physial healing in Jenn. What a miracle that she is able to take such an extensive, exhausting trip that demands so much energy. Your ministry is so unique and SO specially designed for your specific talents. It is a thrill to hear about it....and to be related! God RICHLY bless you!
Lovingly, Kathryn (Lloyd's daughter)
Thank you, Kathryn. We also praise God for the miracles in our lives, and the live of others. And we are unimaginably grateful to have discovered, through this illness, the unique ministry that God has prepared for us.
