I Am Refocused Radio

In 2013, Rich began to dabble in silent prayer, a term that’s often used as synonymous with centering prayer. He had heard and read that silence can transform you. He wanted to experience this transformation too.
He would force myself to sit in silence. He began to test how long He could sit there. He started with one minute and increased it to three and even four minutes. It was difficult!

Silence and silent prayer are counter-cultural. They are very challenging to cultivate because everything in our culture seems to point in another direction. Yet, surprisingly, it is in silence that he has has found profound transformation. And that is the motivation for writing this book. He wants to share what he has discovered.

The point of this book is to share his centering-prayer sojourn with you. His hope is that his journey will help you with your journey. Centering prayer is not a race. It is a long-term marathon. Centering prayer practiced daily, monthly, yearly will transform you. It does not replace other forms of prayer; it complements them.

Centering prayer has changed his life and the way He thinks. It has been so life-giving that he cannot keep it to myself. He has to share it.

ABOUT CHEF ANDY MURRAY AND EAT, DRINK & BE MURRAY

"My hope in reliving some of my favorite culinary experiences with you over the following pages is that not only will you learn to make some incredible dishes for friends and family, but you will also discover your own love of cooking. These stories, recipes, and tips became part of my DNA after spending a life in the kitchen." ─ Andy Murray, from the introduction of EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY

This fall, Dey Street Books is thrilled to publish EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY: A Feast of Family Fun and Favorites by Chef Andy Murray (On Sale: November 8, 2022 with a foreward by his brother Bill Murray).

The Murray family loves to gather-at holidays, on the golf course-and, most of all, around the table. Manning the kitchen is Andy, who began his culinary education at four years old when his mother, Lucille, taught him how to cook bacon- "There's one rule. You never leave the room when you're making bacon because as soon as you do, it will burn."

One of nine children, Andy's first job was at the age of eleven when he was hired to be a busboy at the corner restaurant. He quickly graduated to dishwasher then short-order cook before leaving the Midwest for New York for culinary training at the New York Restaurant School. Since then, he has worked in some of the biggest restaurants in the business and become known for his delicious and family-friendly meals with his popular Murray Bros. Caddyshack restaurants in St. Augustine, FL and Rosemont, IL.

In EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY, Andy invites readers to the Murray dinner table and shares a wide assortment of recipes including:

. Murray French Toast

. Chicken Hash

. Tempting Tomato Pie

. Caddyshack Golf Balls

. Andy's Chicken Vegetable Soup

. Grilled Pimento Cheese Sandwich

. Lucille's Fried Chicken . South Carolina Pappardelle

. Key Lime Pie

. Pineapple Upside Down Cake

. 19th Hole-signature drink at Murray Bros. Caddyshack

. Bloody Bull

Andy's approach to cooking is bolstered by the belief that the best part of any meal is the time you spend laughing at the table. The Murrays spend a lot of time laughing and food has always been their way of showing love, though a good cocktail doesn't hurt. Also in EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY, readers get to hear some of their incredible family stories-from learning about the food favorites of his siblings, cooking side by side with his mom, and behind the scenes looks at working in the kitchen of New York's biggest culinary institutions, to never-before-told stories of Bill's legendary pranks and the family's love of golf.

Full of gorgeous food photography, never-before-seen Murray family snapshots, a helpful list of kitchen must-haves, and hilarious family stories, this cookbook is like pulling a seat up at the Murray table: dig in!

ABOUT ANDY MURRAY

Andy Murray spent more than 25 years as a chef in high-end restaurants, including Mortimer's and Tribeca Grill. In June 2001 he opened the Murray Bros. Caddyshack restaurant in St. Augustine Florida, and April of 2018 in Chicago. He is the seventh of nine Murray children. He splits his time between St. Augustine Florida and the Chicago area.

President Biden recently announced that he would codify legal abortion if the Democratic Party takes the majority in these elections, and has also entertained other policies like the “Right to Contraception” bill – both policies that hurt women instead of helping, as they claim to.

Chelsey Youman, a pro-life advocate and leader at Human Coalition Action, is passionate about sitting with women considering abortion and empowering them to know their options, so abortion becomes both unthinkable and unnecessary.

(Article from washingtonexaminer.com) House-passed 'Right to Contraception' bill creates problems, doesn’t solve them:

ABOUT THE HILLS AND TRAVELS WITH MRS. KENNEDY

From the New York Times bestselling author of MRS. KENNEDY AND ME and FIVE PRESIDENTS comes MY TRAVELS WITH MRS. KENNEDY by Clint Hill and Lisa McCubbin Hill (on-sale October 11, 2022; hardcover), a collection of never-before-told stories and more than 200 rare and never-before-published photographs documenting Secret Service Agent Clint Hill's travels with Jacqueline Kennedy throughout Europe, Asia, and South America.

A United States Secret Service Agent from 1958 to 1975, Clint Hill was assigned to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and was in the motorcade in Dallas on November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. For his courage and swift actions that day, Hill received the nation's highest civilian award for bravery.

Recently, while preparing to sell his home, Clint discovered an old steamer trunk in his garage containing forgotten photos, handwritten notes, personal gifts, and treasured mementos from the trips on which he accompanied Jackie Kennedy as her personal Secret Service agent. These trips took the pair through Paris, London, India, Pakistan, Greece, Morocco, Mexico, South America, and more, during which Jackie Kennedy became, according to Hill, "one of the best ambassadors the United States has ever had."

From the tender moments, the private laughs, the wild adventures, and the deep affection he shared with one of the world's most iconic women, Hill provides new insight into the intensely private figure he always called "Mrs. Kennedy" and who always called him "Mr. Hill." Hill also reveals startling details about how traveling helped them both heal during the excruciating and grief-filled weeks and months following the assassination of President Kennedy. He writes of the year he spent protecting Mrs. Kennedy after the assassination, a time in his life he has always been reluctant to speak about.

MY TRAVELS WITH MRS. KENNEDY unveils a personal side of history that has never been told before and takes the reader on a breathtaking journey, experiencing what it was like for Clint Hill to travel with Jacqueline Kennedy as the entire world was falling in love with her.

STORY ON TRAVELS WITH MRS. KENNEDY FROM PEOPLR MAGAZINE

PEOPLE Exclusive: Jackie Kennedy's Secret Service Agent Reveals Their 'Indescribable Bond' and His Most Personal Memories Yet

Former Secret Service agent Clint Hill shares never-before-told stories and rare photos of the first lady in his new memoir, My Travels with Mrs. Kennedy

He's a Secret Service agent who served under five presidents - Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford - yet still to this day, one of the questions Clint Hill gets asked most often is: What was Jacqueline Kennedy really like?

As the first lady's dedicated Secret Service agent, Hill rarely left her side for four years. They shared an "almost indescribable bond," he says - a bond he explores in his new memoir, My Travels with Mrs. Kennedy, co-written with his wife, Lisa McCubbin Hill, and excerpted exclusively in this week's issue of PEOPLE. It's a sequel to their 2012 bestseller Mrs. Kennedy and Me, and his most personal book yet. The idea for the latest book came about three years ago, while he and Lisa were cleaning out his home in Alexandria, Virginia, to prepare it for sale. There, they discovered an old dusty steamer trunk which hadn't been opened for nearly 50 years.

Inside was a collection of photos, mementos and handwritten notes from his travels to Paris, Ravello, Pakistan, India, Venezuela, Morocco, Mexico and more with the woman he still calls "Mrs. Kennedy." The discovery brought back long ago memories - some magical, some very private, others very painful. A time capsule of his four years with the most famous woman in the world.
