"It is when you are the music.
Athletes experience it; they call it being in the zone. As time went on I became aware that people in all walks of life have this experience, with this in common: that it only seems to take place with those who are deeply devoted to the art or sport or work in which it is occuring."
Alan Arkin an imporovised life a memoir.

Acting That Heals

Acting That HealsHave you ever had the experience of helping others touch within to reach the truth of who they are? It is a wonderful thing to happen. Mary Mackey, an actress, does just this by visiting prisons, of all places. It would seem that inmates have reached dead end streets, but Mary has found a way to help them. Born of Catholic parents, Mary was a runway model for ten years and then turned to acting.

In this interview with Fr. Mike, she explains how acting helped her to become comfortable in her own skin. The story of how she ended up with Agape Prison ministry is an inspiring one. She has used her skills in helping others reach their potential. Having experienced her own "darkness' of a divorce", Mary knows what it means to come out of that empowered in her self.

Don't miss Acting That Heals on TBN Wednesday, March 9 at 8:30 a.m. PT and then later on our website www.wordnet.tv.
