This evening Tuesday 10/6 7pm cst on “We Are Everyday People” global internet radio network…I’m goin in. Here’s why:
No matter what happens in this life, “religion” always finds its way into the mix. God can do this, God can do that. Leave it in the hands of Jesus. Simply just trust in the lord and all will be taking care of. Prayer changes things. This is what I constantly hear, this is what I constantly read. Then I look around and witness this wicked state of the world in general and this “Christian” country in particular despite all the praying people. Mass shootings (even in church while praying), self-genocide, etc. Individuals believing themselves to be so blessed despite all the atrocities going on for others everywhere. Is God is playing favorites here? Is there something seriously wrong with this belief “system”. Should we instead be meditating and getting into the power of “self”? Many believe that getting info “self” IS getting into your God. Are we reaching out when we should be reaching “in”?
Agree, disagree?

This interview actually took place on 11/8/2013. I had not posted it because I was very disappointed with my conducting of the interview as it was taking place. I felt I was in over my head and that my inexperience was being exposed. However, after listening to the interview for the first time this morning the so-called Thanksgiving Day 11/28/2013, I decided to just put it out there and let the chips fall where they may. I realize that I tend to be to hard on myself, which is not necessarily a bad thing. My aim is to get it right, regardless of whatever. Check it out for yourself and feel free to critique.

This broadcast is just an icebreaker. The first thing I want to know is for those who've read my posts for the past four years is what have you thought about them. Am I missing something? Am I way out the box? Have I insulted you? Pissed you off? If so, how....or have I been on point? Is there anything in particular I've written that has stuck with you? Have I motivated you in any way? Do you believe there's a message in your dreams.Ever embraced a deceased loved one in a dream, really feeling it like realtime and awoke feeling the pressure of that embrace around your upper body? I bet we all have some interesting episodes. Do you believe the problem with so many shootings in these times is a mental or physical problem. Meaning is it the guns or the minds of todays youth being video game and rap lyric mentalisized. I belive the latter. How do you handle road rage. I'm sure for many there's a better way. Lets help each other out here. Just for fun...What were the best live concerts you're ever attended. I'm old skool !!! Those PUSH EXPO concerts at Chicago's Ampitheater in early and mid 70's were the bomb. And the old Mill Run Theatre in Niles, IL hosted some of the greatest concerts ever.
