During this past week I tried to give thanks to the friends in my life.  In the episode today I speak about what action I took to express gratitude and how it may help us in our lives of friendship.  I know during my recovery if it was not for my friends I would be in a worse place.

Recently, I saw a movie called “Freaks”.  It is a film based in a world were some people have super human abilities.  The world of this film rejects these abnormal people.  That fear and hate creates a monster.  That reality of hate and its impact is not unlike our own.  That topic of hate, sin and the social impact is something I address in the episode today.

During this past week at the day masses we’ve been hearing from Luke 4.  After the healing of St. Peter’s mother-in-law we are told at sunset Christ begins to heal the sick and drive out demons.  What does this scene of Christ’s life teach us about darkness in the life of the christian?  I tackle that question in the episode today.

My physical therapist recently told me an interesting factoid about dogs.  That factoid (spoken about in the episode) got me thinking about the role of the senses in our lives.  The senses play such a big a role.  The importance of the sense is what I speak about in the episode today.  If that factoid I false please let me know.
