Story With A MessageThe Sky is Falling!Someone wrote "A Poem to Chicken Little": Why do you cry with a voice full of fear, "The sky is falling!" for all to hear.

Martin Luther King said, "I have a dream." FDR said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." John F. Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." These phrases become such a familiar part of our thinking that we continue to refer to them. This morning's podcast is about a phrase given to me by a cashier at a local restaurant. I will never forget it. I hope you won't either.2023-06-1107 minStory With A MessageDark Spots and White Spaces"Keep your face always toward the sunshine--and shadows will fall behind you." No one really knows who originally made this statement. M. B. Whitman, Helen Keller, Walt Whitman and others have been suggested, but it makes no difference. The quote is true regardless. If we keep looking toward the light, life's shadows naturally fall behind us. Today's podcast teaches a similiar sentiment framed in a different way. Take a listen. Want to contact me?

It often tells a story we've been through. It's a music to which we can relate. It's a music we can feel. Sad or glad, it's a music that brings out raw emotion. Thankfully, country music doesn't always take itself seriously. Sometimes, it can be downright funny. Today's podcast is about some of those funny songs. Don't be surprised if some of those lyrics end up being a page right out of our lives.

A birthday means another year has passed, and children love to feel older. It's an opportunity for them to feel special because the day is all about them. It's a day they are celebrated, and that often means they're honored with a party or some other special event. But let's be real. Perhaps the greatest reason they look forward to a birthday is because they receive gifts. Kids love presents! Ever so often, children surprise us.

We all like to eat, but we don't like the same foods. We all like to play, but not in the same way. The lesson, of course, is that we're both alike and different, and that's OK.
