#182 Terry Hershey: Your Truth is What You Honor
Show Notes  The episode today is certainly the most philosophical shows we have ever done. As you will quickly discover, Terry Hershey and I do what I am fond of saying: “we go down deep, and stay down long.”  Here’s the question: Do you believe something because, it is True, or is something True because you believe it?  Is truth a matter of choice? Is there substance to the thought that… truth...

Finding My Parents with Tim Dyson
Radio Show Surprise Ending. When I was growing up, professional athletes were a little less “professional” than today. T.V. cameras and interviews after the game often included “Hi Mom!” and thanks to their parents for getting them to such a success point. Back then, I found it a bit annoying, where now I miss the innocence and authenticity of it all. Having done this show for the past year, I ...

#181 Charlie: How Patience Suffers from Selfishness

Fiction Meets Life with Michael Phillips
I grew up in a home where I was encouraged to read, perhaps not in the healthiest of manners, but encouraged to read nonetheless.
