This is Another Disciples 1st ever interview. Keith doesn’t normally do interviews but he granted us this rare opportunity. Let’s see what Keith’s been up too!
(Smiling) What’s going on Keith? |
| Keith |
(Laughing) Nothing much man. Just trying to do my thing. |
| AD |
How’s the family? |
|
Keith
|
Everyone’s doing great! You know I have to make up some family time here and there. |
| AD |
It’s been a while Brother. We met downrange about 5 years ago, right? |
| Keith |
Has it been that long? |
| AD |
Time flies like crazy around here. Still shooting ball? |
| Keith |
I had to give it up bro. I tore my knee up pretty bad and I’ve been on the shelf since. |
| AD |
Yeah, we’re getting a little too old for that. I’ve decided to leave that stuff for the youngsters. So has things been busy for you? |
| Keith |
Like you wouldn’t believe! I’ve been working day and night to get this website to where I want it to be. Working on current plays, new plays, new poems and new stories! It’s been bananas. |
| AD |
Well you’ve done a great job with it. Its leaps and bounds better than your last site www.keithaanderson.com. It shows maturity! Did you design it yourself? |
| Keith |
I came up with the theme but I owe great deal of the functionality of the site to Miki of www.studio11.com. He’s the greatest. He doesn’t just catch the fish for you, he teaches you how to fish if you know what I mean. |
| AD |
Sound like an awesome guy! |
| Keith |
He is. He has definitely been a blessing to me. He offers web hosting and web design that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Please tell your readers to check him out! |
| AD |
(Laughing) I think you just did! |
| Keith |
(Smiling) Yeah, I kind of did that right! But hey, he deserves it. Great guy! |
| AD |
When I checked out the new site, I noticed that you added Playwright to your repertoire! |
| Keith |
Yeah Andre’, I had to step up my game for this one. |
| AD |
Did you do it all yourself? |
| Keith |
Noooo. Just like my website, I had a great person aiding me with this task also. You know they say that the Lord orders your steps; well he has ordered mines to Stan Hood of Playhouse Ministries (www.shplayhouse.com). |
| AD |
I’ve heard of that brother. |
| Keith |
I’m pretty sure you have. He’s a household name, when it comes to church drama. He offers it all, from drama tools to coming to your church (anywhere) to conduct workshops. He’s dedicated. |
| AD |
He’s the author of the play “If the Preacher ain’t right”! |
| Keith |
That’s him. That play has been performed from the East coast to the West coat and a number of cities in between. |
| AD |
It seems to me like you hooked up with all the right people. |
| Keith |
Orders your steps bro. |
| AD |
(Leaning back and smiling) You know I have to get into it, right? |
| Keith |
(Smiling) I figured you would. |
| AD |
Now I’m a prior service member myself and I’m trying to figure out where you find the time to do all of this! |
| Keith |
Yeah, I can see you and some others wondering that very thing. |
| AD |
Well can you help us out! |
| Keith |
It’s like this Andre’. I don’t have a Doctorate, Masters, Bachelors or associates. Some soldiers have all of these degrees. Some are even pastors of churches. I’ve just temporarily substituted getting my degree for working on my dream. |
| AD |
Temporary substitution?! |
| Keith |
(Laughing) Yeah man, temporary. Believe me when I say that I understand the importance of obtaining a great education. |
| AD |
I got you man. Do you have anything else in the works? |
| Keith |
Well I’m trying to start this on-line magazine called “Another Disciple” The Magazine |
| AD |
What will it feature? |
| Keith |
I personally believe that there are a number of us out there looking for a form of media that will get our ideas broadcasted to a wide variety of people. I think that the Army’s network of soldiers is one of the largest untapped communities at our disposal. |
| AD |
What kind of ideas are you talking about, Keith? |
| Keith |
I know that there are local clothing designers trying to put their designs out there. Heck, I’m one of them. I know of a few up and coming Travel reps and Realtors. |
| AD |
I see what you’re saying Keith and that’s a wonderful thing to do. Is it non-profit? |
| Keith |
(Smiling) Well it is right now. I’m the only one working there! Well along with you (Both laughing) But you never know what the Lord has planned. If it becomes prosperous and I have to have someone working around the clock, hey. |
| AD |
Well Keith it seems like you’re doing great things. |
| Keith |
I’m trying Andre. |
| AD |
When you become large, will you come back to see us? |
| Keith |
I’ll never become too large for anything. I pray constantly that the Lord keeps me humble. |
| AD |
Take care Keith and I’m coming over tonight. |
| Keith |
Come on through man. |
| AD |
I’ll do that. |
