This is the story of a remarkable, but ordinary 85 year-old man. A man who has walked an illogical, but God-led path in his life. We will follow him from his childhood in the Great Depression, through his youth during World War II, into college, work, marriage, unpredictable career changes, miracles, messengers, and messages. Dick Erb is a fascinating "guy next door" who has lived and learned in many places and many circumstances. His list of prominent people that he has known and worked with is impressive. His life invites one to reflect on one's own life and see where one can improve or can trust that the path that God lays ahead is the one that is best for him or her. The invitation to "Open Your Eyes" is one that can and will have a powerful effect on those who are willing and ready to put their own knowledge and wisdom and experience into action. This is the first of a new basic direction for the Know and Do Podcast. A direction in which we will be having conversations with normal people who are doing extraordinary things from the lessons of life that they have learned and are putting into practice.
