a quick post, no pictures, no big insights.a bold stand is still happening at its own pace, but I though I would update those two people that read this.over the past six months i have been in conversation with tony tendero about a documentary on prayer. the documentary looks at prayer through the lens of the stockbridge boiler room. we have wrapped major shooting and are actively working on the

last post was hoping for a new story to be told.we both decided it needed to be filmed outside. then it rained.we agreed on a day the next week, then one of us had to bail. that happend a couple of times.now we just agree that it needs to be done, but her story has come to another middle so to speak, so we are waiting for God to do what He does to completion. It really reminds me for some reason

no picture for this post.i don't think i will post one later either.seems fitting in light of the absense of not only activity here on the blog, but also for the lack of activity for "a bold stand"not that it has not been on my mind, but what do you say to someone who says "sounds exciting, these stories were great." etc... and then looks with a blank stare at you as if it is inconcievable that

things progress slowly, one person at a time.all who i share this vision with are excited about it. but not to many are willing to participate. i refuse to be pushy, and so get someone's testimony online that is not really prompted by God to share. i pray that people come to me. it is kind of a hard road to walk, since i am used to pursuing the goals that i set for myself. i am used to me having

i had a post with the same title last week, but then it didn't seem right then, so i deleted it. as God brings us down this journey, i think it is amazing how He is preparing us. me in particular, as i seek His face, he continually reveals areas in my heart of bitterness and anger, and i continually have no choice but to give them over to Him.  no choice? nope. not from where i stand. see, i have

"wash me and i will be whiter than snow." it is amazing how dirty our hearts can be. i have found, and keep finding areas within me that are just plain bitter, mean, and angry. just when i give something over to God to cleanse and make whole, another area reveals itself. but what is amazing is that God just keeps taking it, when I give it up to Him, he washes me and makes that part new. so as i

a temporary website has been launched. it is tied in with my business site.you can see it here:www.phillippalacios.com/a_bold_stand.html please all continue to pray that more and more people would feel led to do this thing.and that God's timing would prevail.i feel the urge to tell everyone about it, but i then feel that "not yet" within me. like this thing has to grow on it's on accord, not on

it is time for me to finally share with all two readers of this blog what this is all about "my name is _______ and I am a transformed follower of Jesus Christ." God has put on my heart a vision to expand the reach of these transformation stories. as people are willing, film their stories in a complete, unbroken "take," and place it a yet-to-be-built website. this website would be absolutely

this is now where it begins to get interesting. with the very first step "in the can" there is so much to pray about:how much scoring (music) to put to it, if any.how much cutting (editing) to do to this story, if any. because if i follow what i have learned, i won't cut, and i won't score. it will be a raw, untouched testimony of God's love. unconventional, unpolished. "simple, restful, real"

this picture is so typical for this type of post, but if you could see the original uncompressed, unshrunk version you would understand why i picked it, the lighting in it is just beautiful and the timing of the action was really close to perfect for the framing... my friend called me out of the blue and told me he had an idea, a vision that might be a blessing in so many ways starting with teens

interesting how just even one conversation can trigger wishes and desires that you swore off only a few days earlier, and then you think "am i really willing to give it all up?"  i understand, a little, what it means to die to yourself daily, but i would say sometimes its more like hourly.when a vision is given, and it is good, it is so easy to put my own "spin" on it. thinking thoughts like "

in life we come to have expectations of what will come to be if we follow a certain course.but when it comes down to it, we don't really have control over how something turns out.and so it is with this vision, this dream that was given to me. it is far to early to divulge anything about it, but this: that i hold it with open hands.because if i actually follow this vision, my life is emptied, my
