There are a lot of thinks the Lord says in the synoptic gospels, and consequently there are a lot of things believers today like to explain away. Now, if you think that means that I want believers today to take the Lord's words literally and start obeying them, you'd be quite wrong! We do need to take the Lord literally (when he speaks plainly), but I'm not pretending he's talking to me. If you think he's talking to you, go read the Lord's words and ask yourself if what he says is even possible today. We tackle this issue in today's podcast.

Ever wonder why the politicians never seem to actually solve anything, as we pass 30 trillion dollars in national debt? It's because they don't want to solve anything! Both sides do it. They want to keep issues alive to keep us at each other's throat and so we will given them more money and power based on a promise they'll solve it. But they never do! Later. Rinse. Repeat. Check your email. I bet you've got a scary fundraising email in there!

Babbling on about current events back in April... Bonus material until we can get the show back on the rails.

We're back on the air! Just a short intro to our next trip down Michael lane. We briefly discuss the problems with being a political "team" and look forward to more adventures in theology, politics, music, sports, and all things Brooklyn's Dad.

Now it's time to say goodbye, goodnight, sleep tight. Due to the vagaries of the production parameters, the fragmenting of the audience to cable television, carnivals, water parks, etc. we are pausing paid podcast production on these services. They will continue on other formats as I hope to move to video enabling things like PowerPoint.

We pause to catch up on the events in the life of my family. Two tragic deaths, but two wonderful reminders of the hope of resurrection. Then we spend a few minutes noting that politicians swear allegiance to party over country. I'm against A if my party is not in power, I support A if my party is in power. We see it all the time and it's sickening. Well, Washington (George, not DC) warned us.

A quick look at the massive inflation in the cost of a college education going back to the 1970s. We comment briefly on the current virus remedy. Some people (BLM) have some good reasons for being hesitant (search Tuskegee Experiment). Finally, we emphasize the need to hold the Bible as the Word of God to be studied and followed, not just as a "sacred" book.

Brief ramblings today about the frustrations of watching people following "experts" (in religion, politics, etc.) instead of taking the hard road of study and self-discovery. Too often we sacrifice liberty for safety because it's just easier. It's easier to just do and believe what a church or politician tells me (or promises me) than to take personal responsibility.

We go back in the past to talk a little about life, love, and the Lord. I open up a little and recount a broken heart which led to a life I could never have imagined. Perhaps my story may bring encouragement to lonely believers. The longer version of this story is contained in a book called "ON THE WINGS OF GRACE ALONE," the testimonies of former lay Catholics (available at Amazon).

Short commentary about experiments, respect, rights, and the future.
