Episode 7, Pt 2 - Pgs 81-86 begins with the Poem written by Rudyard Kipling, titled... "IF" as the author begins to question his endurance to finish the marathon race, and quotes–with the passion of a man running for his life, from the poem shared, scaring the other runners as he acts like a lunatic screaming aloud some Shakespearean chant! Does the author finish the race? Is he hauled off in an ambulance, clothed in a straight jacket? I guess you will just have to read/listen to Pt 2 of Episode 7 to find out.

Enjoy!

Episode 7, Pt 1 - Pgs 71-80, takes you on a "Marathon" adventure with the author from the "Knock on the Door" to... well, you'll just have to read it yourself, but it is quite the trial until the runner meets "The Little Ole' Lady in Tennis Shoes." What? Does God send an Angel (wearing tennis shoes) to save the runner? You do not want to miss this Episode 7, Pt 1... or Pt 2.

Episode 6, Pt 4 - Pgs 65-70 is the continuation of the Sub-Chapter III, "Does All This Experience [Really] Work For Our Good?" and finishes up with the comeback question, "But What If You Choose Not To?" And the backstory to the amazing success of Kentucky Fried Chicken's own Colonel - Harland David Sanders, who chose "not" to give up when the deck was stacked against his success.

"Trial often becomes the catalyst for success when one's ability to dream is not sufficient or passionate enough to carry the vision of success forward."

Episode 6, Pt 3 - Pgs 55-65, covers the universal question, "Does Trial Really Work For Our Good?" Is it necessary? Is it punishment from God for my sins? Why do some have more trial in their lives than others? Does that mean God loves them less... or more? Tune in to today's Episode 6, Pt 3, and find out.

Episode 6, Pt 2 - Pgs 46-55, addresses the subject of "Choices," and the author's answer to an often repeated question, "How could a just and loving God permit such actions to happen?" You will want to tune in and perhaps consider the part "Agency" plays in our becoming more like God.

Episode 6, Pt 1 - Pgs 38-46, introduces trial as part of God's plan for His children. "There must be opposition in ALL things!" OR, there would be no growth in Heavenly Father's children who desire to become like Him. No pain that we suffer, no trial (Hurt) that we experience, is wasted. Read on how faith is required to see through the unspeakable hardships that many of God's children endure, and yet there is agency in all things. This is a revelatory episode.

Episode 5, Pt 4 - Pgs 36-37 finishes up the "Some Basic Truths" chapter, setting a firm foundation to move forward in our understanding of the nature and purpose of trial in our lives, leading us to better prepare for the next wave of storm clouds currently just over the horizon.

Episode 5 Pt 3 - Pgs 25-36 begins with the declaration that "All Human Beings Are Created in the Image of God," and covers "There Was a War in Heaven," and I don't mean the war that raged in the Malone household when "I" purchased an Ice Cream Franchise.
