Thanks for having me, can you hear me okay? Yeah, I can hear you great, you sound great, you sound good to me, wow, so first, seven marriages you're like Liz Taylor, almost, yes, wow, that's so interesting, I can find seven people that I liked enough to even date, I don't even know about Mary, yeah, and then so was it the last, the seventh husband that got you, because he was an intelligent, in the military that got you into the UFOs, yes, exactly, all right, so I'm going to turn the mic over to you, like, why don't you share a little bit about, like, how you got into what you're doing today, and talking about UFOs and extraterrestrials, I totally believe in it, many of the people that listen to my show do, many of my former guests believe in UFOs, you know, so, yeah, tell us about it. Okay, well, and I can't remember, that was part of my bio, but you know, when I was a kid, we watched, I grew up in the 50s and 60s, so we watched Martian movies that were pretty cheesy, and then, yeah, I didn't think anything more about it, and I didn't, you know, I didn't even think about it until much later, I'd had some ghost experiences in my when I met number seven, I was still a member of the Mormon Church, but after I met him, and I started visiting him, and we started talking about other things, and other spiritual things, and stuff, I left the church, so that's, that's a different story, because like, it was no big trauma there, but then, you know, probably years, well, it wasn't right away, but years, I mean, I knew he'd been into the military, eventually, I knew it was military intelligence, and eventually, you know, it probably was a good two or three, or, you know, it was a few years into the relationship, and he gave me something to read, and type up, because he'd written this story about a space mission that he'd been on, and I'm going, what, this is real, and you've been in space, and there's aliens, and this is all real, and yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's funny, because in 2004, he said, oh, there's a, and at the time, I was living in California, and, and he said, oh, there's a UFO conference in the San Francisco barrier, you know, you might want to go, it's like, okay, that sounds like fun, and I went, and I was just going to go for one day, it's like, oh, I need to go back for the second day, because this was all new, and exciting information to me, and then, by the next year, I had enough of his information at my fingertips, so that I could have my own booth at that, that fair, and then I started getting on radio shows, and speaking at conferences, and things, so it, you know, it was, it lasted, well, I was, I was on the speaking circuit until a COVID hit, basically, okay, you know, yeah, and then I've been on a lot of podcasts, and, and I just start, I just did my first in -person speaking thing a couple weeks ago,
The Big Take
Fresh update on "mary" discussed on The Big Take
"Is kind of fascinating. You graduate William & Mary in 1983. How did your career begin? Where did you go from college? Yeah, I have a very traditional finance background. I started at J .P. Morgan right out of school, went through their bank training program, wanted a foreign Or an assignment and the next thing I knew I was in Delaware. And what I ended up doing, though, company, was the beginning of what we call asset -backed securities today, pulling together credit card card loans for Sears, for MB &A and First USA car loans. And if you remember your history, banks at that point were just us beginning to compete with the big Wall Street firms and commercial paper and asset -backed securities were the first securities that the Fed gave banks permission to underwrite. And so suddenly we were having to compete with Solomon, with Bayer, You with know, CSFB in their territory. And so my job basically became, how do we outthink them? Because there was no way we could out muscle Merrill. And so we had to, we had just had to be better at structuring, finding ways to make things less expensive, you know, bring something else to bear. So what years were this? When were you at J .P. Morgan? I I was was there from 83 to 96. Okay. And then what ultimately, so you missed all the fun during the financial crisis. I did. I planted the seeds. Although back then performing in credit card debt wasn't quite the same as Ninja loans being fed into mortgage back. No, I mean, CLL squared. And, you know, I left J .P. Morgan to actually go work for First USA, one of the credit card companies. And, you know, part of that was this clear view of the trajectory that securitization was going to change the business. You know, little did I realize that a year here. We'd get bought by Bank One because Bank One needed desperately to have a credit card business. And so my career, made another pivot to go from the treasurer of a startup credit card company to being the eighth largest bank in the country. Eventually, you rise to the role of CEO of private client services at Bank One. Tell us a little bit about that job. Yes. So Bank One had merged with First The merger was tumultuous. And so the board ultimately brought in Jamie Dimon. Bank. I talk about it merging with Jamie because this combination was a terrible Cultural Fit. It was almost viewed as a Tiffany buys Walmart combination. The egos were not happy with it. And Jamie did a great job of sort of reminding People that the enemy was outside the business, but he quickly uncovered where the merger had not executed the way it meant to. One of those was in the client, the wealth management area where we had lots of great skills in terms of trust and private banking and all of these elements, but no general practitioner. It was like we were running a hospital with no folks who could look at the patient holistically. And so one of the first things I did in that job was to identify who can be the point person so that you can cross -sell and deliver a much fuller array of products than just the single products we were offering. But I'll tell you, my timing couldn't have been worse, Barry. I took that job in early 2000 and basically rode the market down. And I'll tell you, nothing teaches you more about how things work than watching them not work on the way down. And so it was really eye -opening to see how overconfidence turns into panic as we went through the dot -com bubble. So you're anticipating my next question. Your first was book Moods and Markets. The second book is all about confidence. What led to this interest in that aspect of behavioral finance? Was it the asset properties? Was it watching a roll -up entity? Or was it the dot -com collapse that sent asset prices depending on where you were invested? I like to remind people NASDAQ peak fell to trough 81%.

A highlight from LST9 The Passion of St. Therese The Letters of St. Therese of Lisieux with Fr. Timothy Gallagher Discerning Hearts Podcast
"The asserting hearts .com in cooperation with the oblates of the Virgin Mary presents the letters of St. Therese of the suit with Father Timothy Gallagher Father Gallagher is a member of the oblates of the Virgin Mary a religious community dedicated to retreats and spiritual direction according to the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola He is featured on several series found on the eternal word television network He is also author of numerous books on the spiritual teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the venerable Bruno Lanteri founder of the oblates of the Virgin Mary as well as other works focused on aspects of the spiritual life The letters of St. Therese of the suit with Father Timothy Gallagher, I'm your host Chris McGregor So this is May 9th of her final year she dies September 30th The symptoms are not yet at their worst. It's tuberculosis. It was tuberculosis that would take her life We've mentioned earlier from a very early age Therese, she had bronchitis every winter and she had whooping cough very often For several years the sisters had already noticed that her voice would get hoarse in the morning and in the evening Her cousin Marie who was the daughter of the pharmacist and whose letters are very helpful because she has a bit of the Doctor's eye and she describes more clearly than any of the others the symptoms Therese is undergoing as she's writing to family members and others They were worried. They could see that something was not right and a year earlier on Holy Thursday and Good Friday. She has that coughing up of blood Which almost incredibly was not taken as seriously as it should have been Now Therese herself to be fair in all of this Therese herself is in part if we can say this of a saint to blame because She minimized the symptoms she hid them as long as she could in fact when she had that bleeding She never said anything to her sister Pauline who only found out much later because she didn't want them worrying about herself and She struggled to keep up with the discipline and the the daily or Arrium and so forth of the monastery Carry out her tasks even at times just even to walk up the steps. She would almost have to stop at each step She would go through the day with fever and chills all of this has been going on but The symptoms will get to their worst in August where she has a month of excruciating pain But the tuberculosis is progressive and what it's doing is it's eating up the lungs and it's progressively getting harder and harder for her to breathe So a book by this Bishop whom I mentioned as perhaps the primary scholar of Therese He's not a dry academic he loves her and he writes well about her and with great knowledge This book is entitled the passion of Therese of this year, and it's by Bishop Guy Gaucher G -a -u -c -h -e -r And in one chapter in this book, he describes the symptoms that Therese undergoes with the tuberculosis So he entitles this section here from Therese words. I didn't expect to suffer like this. Oh Some of the remedies that were done and Therese bore them She knew they were going to be useless She's like her mother in this. Zelie never had much faith in the remedies The doctors would offer. Of course medicine was not at its present level at that time I'll only mention one of them which is just kind of hard for us to imagine It was called pointe de feu points of fire and what would happen was they thought to increase circulation to help the body a Needle would be heated to where it was red -hot and it would be applied to the skin of the person and Therese had this done several times up to 500 applications of these needles like this Now you can imagine the condition in which she would return to her her room or her infirmary the infirmary She bore all of these things, you know gives a whole new meaning to her expression about thousand little pinpricks. Oh My goodness, is that a possibility of something that I mean in that experience, I mean it gives it a whole new dimension, doesn't it? Well, it's really hard for us to imagine You know the kinds of things that end and diet foods that were just very difficult for her to eat and so forth You know it was and some other things I won't get into all the details But part of her martyrdom is really the only word for it Was the medical attention such as it was that she was given because she was also left without medical help At times when she desperately needed it and also morphine was available to sedate pain But the superior never allowed it now to be fair to the superior when she later herself She died of cancer a very painful death. She would not use it herself It was just considered something that nuns would not use, you know So it was not as though she was simply being cruel to Torres and although in effect it meant that Torres bore excruciating pain with no mitigation at all in these last months of her life But it was not necessarily out of bad will There were also other things involved There was a doctor who was the regular doctor for the Carmel and who was a friend of the superior and good man One of his sons was a priest But when he was away at times a family doctor that this actually was the husband that her cousin Jean married Could have come and helped but the superior just really didn't didn't want that So especially during that month of August when she went through the worst of her pain She had no medical attention during that time. Can I ask you this? I mean What would those sisters going through her blood sister is going through watching this? With this superior that didn't seem to be responsive. I It was terrible. In fact Surreptitiously on a few occasions they mixed a little morphine into drinks and things they did the best they could To try to help her in that situation. This was Torres of the child Jesus and of the holy face very much It's her passion. That's the title of this book that we're quoting So I'm just going to list the symptoms now these symptoms as I'm as I'm saying We're not yet at this stage in May when the letter that we're reading was written But they indicate throughout this time to res continued to respond to letters there was a seminarian Maurice Belair and The very nice book has been written on this by Bishop Patrick Ahern. That's Maurice resin Maurice the story of a love a seminarian who was really struggling Wrote to the Carmel asked if a sister could pray for him the prioress asked her as to do this So in this last year and a half or so of her life You have this handful of letters that he writes And then her response. It's always the same he respites rights discouraged by his failures He writes back to encourage him. God is calling you to be a saint. I know it you can do it But especially for this I'll just quote this one instance because his need was so great in the midst of these kinds of pains And with a trembling hand with the pencil Torres would write sometimes even lengthy responses to these people So that's when you read them on a page. It looks like they're nice Sedate letters that that was not the case All right to describe the symptoms of the tuberculosis So the bishop says fever and profuse sweating for six months So that does include this may that we're looking at Torres suffered from a fever which fluctuated Sometimes her back was burning like fire Sometimes she was perspiring so much. She became dehydrated Digestive troubles Torres suffered frequently from nausea often losing her meals even before she became bedridden The doctor prescribed milk for her. She had never liked it. She could not digest it She continued to take it forced it down knowing what would happen Respiratory troubles as the tuberculosis spread through the lungs Torres suffered pains first in her right shoulder and arms then in her left side the continual cough emaciation Strikingly when you look at the photos of Torres and this is typical from what I've read about this her face looks unchanged Her face looks healthy and all the photos that you see and in fact This was one reason why many of the sisters didn't really believe she was very ill to look at her She seemed fine So she didn't get a lot of sympathy from many in the Carmel as as she went through this But underneath the habit she was becoming a skeleton Normally the face of a person suffering from tuberculosis takes on certain characteristics, but Torres face remained almost the same Her voluminous Carmelite habit hid her thin thinness and her face was full Only her thin hands betrayed her That's all you could see through the habit and gave the lie to the healthy look and the emaciation itself caused various afflictions weakness powerlessness and distress People suffering from tuberculosis like this obviously would have deep emotional discouragement and depression and pain They did the prodigious remedies customary at the time but ridiculous today do anything to alleviate all this suffering Basically the answer to that is no that they really didn't do much Right, that's and of course add to this that Torres is in the heart of the spiritual darkness at this point Which is centered on? This sense powerful in her that heaven is not real that when we die everything is over and She is making more acts of faith as she'll say than ever in her life at this point She writes these lovely poems about eternal life the sisters comment on it and she says I am writing about what I wish to believe So she is this is a martyrdom, you know This is a passion that Torres is going through and that's the context of this letter that she's writing So this is the second Person this case already ordained a priest that she was asked to accompany spiritually and it was a father Adolph Rulong Who was destined for the missions in China where he actually spent 13 years? He stopped by the Carmel at one point can't say that he and Torres actually saw each other because the grill was in between Although they tried to work it so that Torres was the last one.

"Would you say the Voting Rights Act is the most important piece of federal legislation protecting voting rights today? Oh yes, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as it meant in 1982 is the number one federal statute protecting voting rights. Coming up next on the Bloomberg Law Show, I'll continue this conversation with Columbia Law School professor Richard Raffault, and we'll talk about the Eighth Circuit's startling decision that would be a death blow to the Voting Rights Act. Remember you always can get the latest legal news by listening to our Bloomberg Law podcast, wherever you get your favorite podcasts. I'm June Grosso, and you're listening to Bloomberg. Bloomberg radio on demand and in your podcast feed on the latest edition of the Masters in Business podcast, a conversation with Peter Atwater, author of The Confidence Map. So I teach a class in financial economics at William & Mary, and the first day of class. What is it about finance that makes its difference? It's decision making where the outcome is to be determined. So whether I'm lending, borrowing, investing, so and any time I'm doing that, I am deluding myself if I do feel confident, because all investment decisions are made in an environment where I have control, but no certainty. In my book, I call that the launch pad. It's control, but no certainty. Okay. And so if I'm talking to a group of investors, I'm challenging them with their belief that they should be confident in the first place. So what's the story you're telling yourself, if Barry, you're buying something? Well, now you're imagining the future. Now you're creating this vivid picture of what the future looks like. And to the extent that you're really certain, what that's saying to me is you're risking being delusional, both if you're certain going it's to be unicorns and rainbows, or if it's going to be the depths of hell. So when you're making an investment decision, it's okay to plan for the future that you imagine, but you need to be prepared for the future that you can't imagine. But to appreciate that you're making a decision in an environment that is not confidence. . Here's the full conversation on the latest edition of the Masters in Business podcast.

What is this? We haven't done an update on this while. Is Trump going to trial in January? Well, what is the update here? Yeah, I mean, if Democrats have their way, if Joe Biden and Jack Smith and D.C. Obama, Judge Tonya Shutkin and these other Democrat prosecutors and judges around the country have their way, they would have the leading presidential candidate go to prison instead of facing President Biden on November 5th, 2024. Remember, they impeached President Trump twice for nonsense. They've indicted him four times for non-crimes. They're trying to bankrupt his family business for non-fraud. They've illegally gagged him twice in violation of his First Amendment rights where he can't even complain about Jack Smith or the process. And they're even trying to throw this legal Hail Mary. They tried this out in Colorado and they're trying this around the country. They're just going to try to take him off the ballot using a post-Civil War constitutional amendment used to disqualify Confederate insurrectionists who went to war against the union. They're trying to use Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to say that January 6th was somehow an insurrection. And therefore, President Trump is disqualified in these various blue states. They're starting in Colorado and blue states. They're trying to get the precedent set and then they want to use this in swing states. So they just want to have President Biden or Newsom or whoever the hell they run win by default, even though President Trump has the popular support. This is an outrageous legal attack. And it's the people who pretend like they're the protectors of democracy are trying to destroy our democracy. Yes, there's three attack vectors right now and we don't have time to go through all of them. There's the personal stuff with Trump, Big Fannie Willis, Alvin Bragg and two DOJ. Then there's ballot access stuff, which is Colorado and others, which is on the surface a good victory. Thanks to you, Mike. But on the deep level, they're setting a precedent to kick him off the ballot. Then there's the third stuff, which is the New York civil trial, where they just might take his business empire from him. That's just a drain time, energy, resources and distraction. I want to get to the personal criminal stuff, though, because that's the stuff that really worries me. What is the as of today? What is the trial schedule? Well, they have these trials going back to back to back starting in January. Right. Which one's first? We don't have a lot of time. So what's happening in January? So I have I don't have these in front of me. But January, I believe they're starting with the D.C. trial with Tanya Shukin and they do a March trial and then they they do a May trial. So it's back to back to back with three trials. And it's insane that they're trying to do this. They haven't even produced all the discovery that the criminal defendants are entitled to receive from the prosecution. Yet Jack Smith is teaming up with this Obama D.C. judge to bring these bogus charges against Trump for January 6th. It is not a crime to object to a presidential election. It's a lot. It's allowed by the Electoral Count Act of 1887. Democrats objected to Republican wins in 1968, 2000, 2004 and 2016. We don't see John Kerry and Al Gore and Hillary Clinton in prison for objecting. But yet they're trying to use a bogus legal theory, both in D.C. and down in Atlanta, Georgia, down in Fulton County, Georgia, to Democrat hellholes to try to throw President Trump in prison for the rest of his life for objecting to a presidential election. They're also trying to throw him in prison for having presidential records in the office of former president, which is allowed by the Presidential Records Act, while they ignore the fact that Biden had five stashes of stolen classified records from his time as VP and even Senator. They're going to ignore all that. You're right. So, Mike, just to make sure I understand. Sorry, we're tight on time here. January, while the Iowa caucuses are looming, Donald Trump could be sitting. Does he have to sit for trial? He doesn't. He doesn't have to, but he's going to. He sat through these trials up in New York and he should. The problem is, is he's not going to get a fair trial in Fulton County, Georgia. He's not going to get a fair trial in Washington, D.C. There's no doubt he's going to get railroaded by this Tanya Shukin and D.C. in this 95 percent Trump deranged jury pool is going to find him guilty. The only way that this is going to end is when the Supreme Court steps up and says that what President Trump did is either press protected by presidential immunity, going back to George Washington 250 years ago, or it's protected by the First Amendment. This is outrageous what Democrats are doing. These are republic ending tactics by Biden and Jack Smith and these Democrat judges like Tanya Shukin. And this is full scorched earth stuff. There is no recovery. Crossing of the Rubicon. They're going full Dresden on the Constitution. They want to carpet bomb it. They want no memory of it to exist. Mike Davis, excellent. We'll have you on again soon. Thank you. Thank you, Charlie. You see, if we had an RNC worth anything and Rana McRomney, we would kind of war game.

Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life
A highlight from The Furious Love of Jesus
"Jesus was the most influential man to ever walk the earth. Is it possible to really know him? And how does he change our relationship with our Heavenly Father, our relationships with family and friends, and our approach to our work and service to others? Find out today on Gospel and Life as Tim Keller looks at the life of Jesus. John chapter 11 verses 32 to 44. When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. Where have you laid him, he asked. Come and see, Lord, they replied. Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, see how he loved him. But some of them said, could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying? Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. There was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. Take away the stone, he said. But Lord, said Martha, the sister of the dead man, by this time there's a bad odor. He's been there for four days. Then Jesus said, did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God? So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here that they may believe that you sent me. When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out. The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, take off the grave clothes and let him go. This is God's word. Now I know that this event, if it's ever looked at, and the church service is always brought out at Easter, right near Easter, because it's about the resurrection. So why are we looking at it now as we're approaching Christmas? And the reason is because I believe, and I'd like to show you, that there is absolutely no better place anywhere in the Bible that depicts Jesus as Emmanuel, as God with us, truly with us in our condition, God in the flesh. The first part of the story, which we didn't have read, is more familiar, at least it's the part that is more often read because of a very famous statement in it, and let's just recount it. In the beginning of chapter 11 of John, we read about the sickness of Lazarus. Now Lazarus, Mary, and Martha were a brother and two sisters. They lived together, and Jesus loved them. In fact, the language that is used of Jesus loving them, the intimacy is really unparalleled. There's nobody outside of Peter, James, and John that is ever spoken of in these terms when it comes to their relationship with God, with relationship with Christ. And so there's this intimate bond, and in the very beginning of the chapter, word is sent to Jesus, who's far away, that Lazarus is sick. And he comes, but by the time he comes, Lazarus is dead. And when he first comes, Martha and Mary arise, and Martha runs out first. And when Martha comes out to see Jesus, she says to him, she says, Lord, if you had been there, my brother, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. In other words, Martha says exactly the same thing that Mary says. Now that's up a little earlier in the chapter. She runs out and says, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. I know he'll rise on the last day, but now he's gone. And Jesus responds to her with some of the most famous words in the New Testament. He says, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live. And he who lives and believes in me will never die. And so that's very, very famous. And now he moves in and he meets Mary, the second of the bereaved sisters. Mary falls at his feet and says the very same thing, word for word, that Martha said, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. And his response to her is completely different than it was to Martha. And that's where we're starting. That's why we're picking up this passage. That's the thing that very often is missed, and that's the significant thing. One commentator said that this contrast between what Jesus Christ does here, that Jesus' response to Mary proves, this commentator says, and I've been thinking about it. It seems like an overstatement at first, but I've been thinking about it. I think he's right. He says this proves that this is not a work of fiction. No human writer could have made this up. This is beyond the intuition. This is beyond the imagination. This is beyond the expectation of any human being. Because what Jesus Christ does here with Mary is utterly at loggerheads with what he's just done with Martha and what he's just about to do, what he's going to do. Look, with Martha, now, same question, utterly different responses, seconds apart. With Martha, he speaks. With Mary, he's speechless. All he does is say, where is he? With Martha, he teaches about his triumph. He's bold and confident. With Mary, he's weak. He's deeply troubled. He breaks down. With Martha, he actually confronts the flow of her heart. You know, she's sinking. And what does Jesus say? She says, oh, I know he'll rise in the last day, but, you know, he's gone now. And what does Jesus say? He confronts her. He says, I am the resurrection and the life. You don't need to wait till the last day. I'm here. Lift up. See, he confronts the flow of Martha's heart. But with Mary, he completely enters into the flow of her heart. What do you see? Mary sits down and says, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. When Mary saw her weeping, and we're going to look in a second at all these words, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. Where have you laid him, he asked. Come and see, Lord, they replied. And Jesus wept. He doesn't say a thing. It's completely different. Instead of the powerful, absolutely in control, Lord of might, which you see just seconds before, now you have a weak and trembling Jesus who through love for this family, his love for this family is so strong that it actually kind of sucks him under, pulls him right into the devastation. He's speechless. He's got absolutely nothing to say. Now, no fiction writer would have posited something like this because, first of all, this is completely at loggerheads with what he's just shown to Martha. But not only that, it seems to make no sense in light of the fact that he knows within just a few seconds, he's going to turn that funeral into a feast.

Fresh update on "mary" discussed on Morning News with Manda Factor and Gregg Hersholt
"41. Northwest News Time The Seattle Fire Fire Department is responding to it on Elliott Avenue West. Medics are treating one person at the scene in the 1400 block of Elliott and crews are preparing to enter the building. It's unclear what the hazard could be or which businesses is impacted. Also in the news today the Washington Supreme Court has put WSU and OSU's plans for the Pac -12 on hold pending appeal. More from Northwest News Radio's Jeff Pozsula. Earlier this year a Whitman County a package sided with Washington State University and Oregon State University in their effort to maintain control of the PAC -12 and all of its money and assets. But the Supreme Court Commissioner issued a stay on that order while UW and others appeal. WSU and OSU maintain that under the conferences bylaws once a school announces they intend to they leave give up any control or representation on the PAC -12 board of directors. At issue is what constitutes a declaration formal of departure from the PAC -12. The courts have found that the bylaws are quite ambiguous and thus further litigation is needed. As part of a major realignment of college athletics every school in the PAC -12 other than the WSU and OSU have announced they are leaving for other conferences. Jeff Pozsula, Northwest News Radio. Will Will millions of dollars in work stop another round of king tides from flooding their homes? People in the South Park area got a the first first answer this morning. This area this is where we saw the water creeping up basically at the same height level this time last year so nice and dry some neighbors they are still rebuilding and rehabbing homes that were flooded in number of last year Seattle Public Utilities. They spent months and about 76 million dollars on upgrades to prevent flooding and sewer backups grinder pumps were installed in 24 flood prone homes to prevent sewer backups underground crews installed a new public storm drain neighbors tell us they've asked for help for years so we asked Seattle Public Utilities why it took so long we were told the area was Seattle is a big city a rainy city we competing have a lot priorities of for competing our projects and our money so right now 106 ,000 sandbags are out along about a mile and a half of the Duwamish River right where we're standing too.

Although council members weren't happy about how long this process took they were pleased that the vote passed and will now be able to help those in need. I believe there's no perfect solution to homelessness and I don't believe there's any perfect solution to the homelessness crisis here in Burien right now, but I do believe this proposal offers a significant step forward. The shelter would operate for up to one year until the one million dollars runs out whichever comes first. That's Como Force Preston Phillips.

A highlight from Heroes
"If you have your Bibles today would you turn with me to 1 Corinthians 1 26 through the end of the chapter and I was thinking today on heroes in honor of our Remembrance Day there are blessings to any country that will make the God of the Bible their God and abide by his truths as laid out in the Scriptures. These truths though initially sated by David towards Israel can apply to us as Gentiles as if we're obedient to them and Psalm 33 12 blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and the people whom we have chosen for his own inheritance and the truth is there are great blessings in being a child of God. I understand this if you know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior we are entered into the promises and blessings of Abraham and we will enter into that lineage so that's a blessing there. I was thinking of a hero, a hero is a man or a woman of distinguished valor or enterprise in danger or fortitude in suffering a prominent or central personage in any remarkable action or event hence a great or illustrious person. A little further on this a pastor and author recently wrote that our society has lost the meaning of the word hero he said that we think that if an athlete can put a ball through a hoop they're a hero. If a musician can play eight chords on a guitar they're considered a hero and if an actor can pretend to be something they are not they're considered a hero in Hollywood. This pastor wrote I remember watching a well -known journalist interview an actor about his recent movie which featured a politically troubled region of the world. The journalist asked the celebrity what he thought should be done about the political situation there the actor responded who cares what I think and went on to point out that he was an actor. This pastor said real heroes are people who actually do something sacrificial or courageous he points out that God does not seek out heroes to accomplish his purposes God isn't looking for a strong man or woman per se rather he's looking for someone whom he can be strong on behalf of. Amen end quotes there and that came by Jim Sandel but I think about some other heroes of the past. One of the heroes that rates highly in my mind is John Wycliffe. He continued his reforming attempts and particularly began the very significant step of translating and writing out the New Testament in English a radical step as it brought the Gospels close to the ordinary person who could not understand Latin and remove the church which would be the Catholic Church at that time as the interpreter having God's Word available to the public in the language of the common man English would have meant disaster to that church no longer would they control access to the scriptures if people were able to read the Bible in their own tongue the church's income and power would crumble they could not possibly continue to get away with self indulgences which is the forgiveness of sins or selling the release of loved ones from a church manufactured purgatory people would begin to challenge the church's authority if the church were exposed as frauds and thieves the contradictions between what God's Word said and what the priests taught would open the public's eye and the truth would set them free from the grip of fear that the institutional church held salvation through faith not works or donations would be understood the need for priests would vanish through the priesthood of all believers the veneration of church canonized saints and Mary would be called into question the availability of scriptures in English was the biggest threat imaginable to the wicked church neither side would give up without a fight end quotes John Jeffcoat English Bible history as he recounts the history of the Bible through the centuries now when we really consider the idea of a hero or a person to whom we characterize as a hero whether secular or sacred we think of men and women who've denied themselves for a greater cause this cause they saw worth fighting for much to their own detriment much to their own adversity and they may have thought with or without weapons those who go to war for the country do so out of duty and the heroes are not just those who died but those who have stood tall in the face of evil the Christian hero is the person who does not stand out in front of and herald their greatness or absorb the plazas of men rather it is the person who's faithful to Christ irrespective of the dangers they were called to encounter behind all of these feats these harrowing feats and these determinative there actions lies a person an ordinary person like you and I whose love for Christ I'm speaking of Christians as heroes particular Christians to whom Christ was preeminent in their life now may we not seek to be heroes may we just seek to be faithful until the day we breathe our last it is an attitude that has gained much applause respect of others of the heroes of the faith Hebrews chapter 11 we'll deal with that passage tonight here in 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 26 for you see your calling brethren how that not many wise men after the flesh not many mighty not many noble are called but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty and base things of the world and things which are despised that God chosen yea and things which are not to bring to not things that are why does he do this the no flesh and glory in his presence but of him are you in Christ Jesus who of God has made unto us wisdom and righteous and sanctification and redemption that according as it is written he that gloria let him glory in the Lord you think about the ones to whom Jesus decided to use as apostles tax fishermen collectors everyday citizens these were not of your upper elites now I understand there was Luke who wrote the book of Luke and he was a very intelligent man it was a doctor Paul an apostle was also very intelligent but overall God would use some fisherman with sometimes some very sour attitudes cranky attitudes he would use a tax collector who was hate noted as being a scoundrel in communities God would use these men to turn the world upside down they weren't some theological pinnacle of excellence the only pinnacle of excellence in their lives would be obedience to Christ but yet while Christ lived they forsook Christ at the moment he most needed them it's not about us it's about Christ you think about Revelation chapter 2 verse 10 as he tells the Church of Smyrna be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life first Peter chapter 5 verse 6 humble yourselves therefore into the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in due time and we still talk about those 12 apostles today Judas we obviously don't talk about in a positive light but we talk about the Apostles in a positive light men who hazard of their life for Jesus Christ and turn the world upside down and you and I might think I could never do anything great for God because it's not about you it's about the God that we worship I want to look at three qualities today of a true biblical hero it's an interesting study may we seek to be devoted not promoted and there are so often times in Christian up does in Christianity pandering a to elevate an individual it's not about elevating an individual it's about elevating Jesus Christ heroes who are heroes those on the battlefield are everyday men and women who answer the call to go to war they go to war they learn all that they need to they go to war and they perish sometimes but they're like every one of us same flesh and blood I trust today that we would seek as verse 31 says he that glory let him glory no Lord let's pray dear only father Lord I love you Lord Jesus I yield the state of thee God I pray that you'd work in my lips my thoughts to preach your word faithfully I pray that we would be found worthy more than pleasing to thee would help us to be an example to others behind us of faithful Christianity it doesn't matter how we started our life doesn't matter all the turmoil of what we've done in our lives but God may we be faithful found faithful into death Lord Jesus I yield this time to thee I thank you for being our gracious Savior in your name I pray amen.

A highlight from LST8 Casting Flowers The Letters of St. Therese of Lisieux with Fr. Timothy Gallagher Podcast
"Discerninghearts .com in cooperation with the Oblates of the Virgin Mary presents The Letters of Saint Therese of Lisieux with Father Timothy Gallagher. Father Gallagher is a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, a religious community dedicated to retreats and spiritual direction according to the spiritual of exercises Saint Ignatius of Loyola. He is featured on several series found on the Eternal Word television network. He is also author of numerous books on the spiritual teachings of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and the Venerable Bruno Lanteri, founder of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, as well as other works focused on aspects of the spiritual life. The Letters of Saint Therese of Lisieux with Father Timothy Gallagher. I'm your host, Chris McGregor. This next letter brings us to just about one year before Therese's death, so she's 23 at this point, and it's a letter to Sister Maria of Saint Joseph, who is 38 years old at this point. Let's read a description of Sister Maria of Saint Joseph. She was a very difficult sister. She had a very difficult childhood. There was a goodness in her, but there was also a violent temper, mood swings, and so forth. And because of that, the sisters tended to avoid her. So this is from Marie, Therese's sister, Marie's deposition in the cause of canonization where she describes Sister Marie of Saint Joseph. The sister was subject to the blackest moods and did scarcely any work. I saw her when Sister Therese was already an invalid come to her to call for the week's linen. Therese had volunteered. No one else wanted to approach the sister, and Therese's heart always went out to the difficult people, to the suffering people. You know, Therese is the patron of the missions, and so her gaze reaches out to those who are very distant from her, wanting to bring them close to Christ. But her gaze also fell on those who were the nearest to her, and she saw the needs, and she would approach them with incredible insensitivity. The follow happens. I saw her when Sister Therese was already an invalid come to her to call for the week's linen, which she had given her to repair. And because Sister Therese had not been able to complete her task, the sister reproached her severely instead of thanking her for what she had done in spite of being so ill. So this is Sister Marie of Saint Joseph. Sister Therese took the reproaches as if they were so much praise. This poor unfortunate sister became the object of Sister Therese's tenderest compassion. One day when I had confided to her how much trouble that sister gave me, the servant of God, Therese, said, ah, if you only knew how necessary it is to forgive her, how much she is to be pitied. It is not her fault she is so poorly gifted. She is like an old clock that has to be rewound every quarter of an hour, just so emotionally needy. Yes, it is as bad as that. Well, wouldn't you have pity on it? Oh, how necessary it is to practice charity toward one's neighbor. And Therese also recognized and appreciated the good qualities that Sister Marie of Saint Joseph had, and they're listed here, tenderness, good memory, fine singing voice. And it pained Therese to see Sister Marie of Saint Joseph ostracized by the rest of the community. And so she resolved to move closer to her. I will say that eventually the mental, emotional mood swings and temper and so forth of Sister Marie of Saint Joseph were diagnosed by a doctor as a form of mental disability that was just incompatible with religious life. And so when she was 51, she was obliged to leave the convent. She lived for another 26 years before her death. And she always remembered Therese with fondness, always followed the cause of canonization, stayed in contact with the Carmel. Well, what Therese did, I think we'd have to say pretty heroically, was she volunteered to help Sister Marie of Saint Joseph in the linen room, which was where she worked alone because no one, they were afraid of her. They didn't want to be the subject of her violent temper and the speech and all that would go with it. And we have a series of the just brief notes that Therese writes to Sister Marie of Saint Joseph, sort of childlike, childish almost language. And Therese really takes the role of a mother concerned for Sister Marie. Is she sleeping well? Striving to take that combative spirit which Sister Marie of Saint Joseph has and to move that towards spiritual combat to help her try to offer her struggles and so forth for the good of souls, for the good of the Church. So this is one of these letters that she writes to Sister Marie of Saint Joseph. And you know, this allows us to highlight one of these qualities of Therese. I think we'll return to this later on. When there were suffering difficult people around her, people that everybody else tended to avoid, she was the one who would take the initiative to approach them. I mentioned they had these recreation times twice a day when they could sit together and just freely converse. It was her practice, the others noted it, and you see it in the cause of canonization, to choose to sit next to the ones that nobody else wanted to sit next to. So much so that one of these sisters convinced that Therese was really a great friend, that they were great friends. Therese did this so naturally, so easily, without any sign of struggle. Well, without any sign of struggle, she's the one of whom Therese said, sometimes the only thing I can do is just leave her because it's just too difficult for me, and then she'd come back when she was more able again. So she writes to Sister Marie of Saint Joseph, I am delighted with the little child. Now this is one of these letters where Therese uses the third person and metaphor. If we notice, for example, when she wrote to her childhood playmate Celine, there's none of that kind of language. It's very direct. It's the kind of language her mother would have written. So Therese, depending on the recipient, will adopt a different style of writing, and here it's that third person and metaphor. I am delighted with the little child, which is to say, I'm really happy with what I've seen in you. And the one who carries her in his arms is still more delighted than I. The Lord just loves what he's seen in you. Ah, how beautiful is the little child's vocation. Who else was speaking to Sister Marie of Saint Joseph like this? She was pretty universally simply avoided, and here is this fellow sister just saying, I'm so delighted to see the goodness in you, and Jesus sees it more than I. It is not one mission that she must evangelize, but all missions, and that is offer your struggles and sufferings for the missions for the apostolate of the Church. How will she do this? So how are you, Sister, with your personal struggles in the laundry room, going to offer something for the far -flung missionary work of the Church? And she answers, how will she do this? By loving, by sleeping, because Sister Marie of Saint Joseph had struggles with that, and Therese will often gently hope and encourage her to get the sleep that she needs. And then this next is capitalized, by throwing flowers to Jesus when he is asleep. Now, there's something very profound behind this, this throwing flowers in the Franca, jeté de fleur, which is a phrase that Therese uses often. And let's just take a moment to look at her, describe what she means by this in the story of a soul, because this is a very profound piece of her little way. So the image is, well, Therese did this as a child. They would, on the Corpus Christi procession, she and the other little girls, they'd be dressed in like their white dresses, and they'd be given flowers, and they would cast these flowers into the air along the road before the priest would come by with the Blessed Sacrament. Therese loved flowers. If you read her letters, flowers come back all the time in her writing. One of her joys was that she thought, in entering Carmel, that she was really giving up any contact with flowers, the flowers that she would go with her father and go walking out in the fields, and he'd be fishing, she'd be picking flowers as a little girl. And then to her delight found that people were constantly making gifts of flowers to the Carmel so that flowers were an abundant presence in her life. Well, she says, the little child, meaning herself, will strew flowers. She will perfume the royal throne with their sweet scents, and she will sing in her silvery tones the canticle of love. Now, what she's referring to here is her own sense of her weakness and her imperfections. Here are the great saints. Think of Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross and Francis of Assisi. As she'll say elsewhere, these are the mountain tops, and she sees herself just as a little grain of sand. Her own life is so small. She sees her weakness and her struggles. Well, what can I do then? Well, the little child will throw flowers, will cast flowers upon the throne of the Lord Jesus. So there you get just an image or just a brief perspective on this kind of flowery metaphorical language that Teresa uses. It's always necessary to see what she's saying through that. The language is flowery. It can be sentimental. It can be childish at times, but the reality is rock, is solid, is deep, is rich. So now she explains she's speaking to Jesus. This is in the manuscript B, the second part of the story of the soul. It's now chapter nine. Yes, my beloved, this is how my life will be consumed. I have no other means of proving my love for you other than that of strewing flowers. All right, what does that mean? That is not allowing one little sacrifice to escape, not one look, one word, profiting by all the smallest things and doing them through love. Now, we're right at the heart of her little way here. I can't do great things for you. I'm not in the missions. I'm not being martyred. I haven't written great scholarly works, preached before multitudes. I'm just a humble little 24 -year -old woman living with 20 other women in a caramel that very few people even know of, working in the linen room, preparing meals, helping out in the sacristy, decorating as best I can, sacred objects, painting them. I can't do great things for you, but what I can do is to cast flowers. Now, as I've said so often in these conversations, it doesn't take much contact with Therese to touch the heroic, and it's right here. That is, by not allowing one sacrifice to escape. And her sisters were witness to this, that she, every opportunity that she could find, to go out of her way to help someone, to give up something that someone else wanted, to smile at the last person that she wanted to smile to, and so forth. She took advantage of all of these little occasions. The little way is only little in that the things that we do are ordinary, but it is not little in love, and not little in fruitfulness. It's heroic, actually, in these. What if we could even dream of living like that in our daily life at home or at work or in the parish or in the community, not allowing one little sacrifice to escape? I have a task to do. Here's a person who approaches me with a little sinking of my heart. He or she is going to want some time. What if we didn't allow one even smallest sacrifice to escape? Not one look that could encourage another person.

A highlight from God Comes to Man_05PT4
"Hi, I'm Darrell Bailey, thank you for tuning in on the Gospel of John as we continue our Wednesday in the Word, the identity or the deity of Jesus. Here as we're talking about chapter 1, we're talking about God comes to man. Here this is the fifth in the series, part 4 of God comes to man. We pick up with verse 35 going all the way down to verse 51 to the end of chapter 1. When we look at Genesis of the New Testament. And so when we look and we begin to realize, now John mentions the first in John 2, which is basically the most unique thing about the book of John. When you look at all the comparisons of the portrait of Jesus as the king, the servant, the teacher and the son of God. John in the fourth column. Here we see that his key phrase is believe and but what you can't see is right down where my face is located is the most unique thing about the book or the Gospel of John is there's three Passovers involved in it. In the Synoptics of Matthew, Mark and Luke, there's only one Passover mentioned. Remember, Jesus mentions or John the Apostle mentions so many things that were unique in the Gospel of John. He talks about his sermons. He only mentions seven miracles where there's only two that coincide with the Synoptics of Matthew, Mark and Luke. And so John mentions the first in John chapter 2 and the second Passover is in John chapter 6 verse 4 and the third Passover is in John chapter 11 verse 55. It extends on into John chapter 12 verse 1, John chapter 13 verse 1, oh so as it hits back on John chapter 18 verse 28 and 39 and John chapter 19 verse 14. This third Passover was really the one that occurred on the night before Jesus died and it was the one recorded by all four Gospel writers in conjunction with the Last Supper and the death of Jesus Christ. So the first Passover is only recorded in John's Gospel and it may have been the Passover around April the 18th, 8029, the first year of Jesus's public ministry and so as these three Passovers occur in the three years of Jesus's earthly ministry, John alone records the three separate Passover celebrations that he mentions again as I said a while ago. The first one, John 2, the second Passover is in John 6 verse 4, then the third one extends from chapter 11, 12, 13, 18 and chapter 19. And so what an extraordinary writings of the book of John that we see that's in front of us and so this is very, very unique because the Passover as the Jew that obeyed the Mosaic law according to Deuteronomy chapter 16 in keeping with the mission to fulfill the law, the first Passover John records, he's running out the money changers and so in John chapter 2 verse 12 that I said a while ago that after he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples, they stayed there a few days and so it deals with that first Passover in John chapter 2 and how he deals with things there as well. And so you can compare this to Luke's account of Jesus is doing the same thing two years later in Luke chapter 19 and you know as he was throwing the money changer that my house shall be a house of prayer but you've made it a robber's den and so each and every one of us when we look at the different accounts that each begins to transpire, the most unique thing again I say that in the Gospel of John is there's three Passovers where the synoptic of Matthew, Mark and Luke only have one Passover. Now John tells about the witnesses to the revelation of Jesus Christ, John begins his Gospel by talking about the deity of Christ. He describes the ministry of John the Baptist and then Jesus is baptized and he calls his very first disciples and so Matthew emphasizes his kingship to portray Jesus as the son of David, the Messiah, the king of the Jews and it's directed especially toward a Jewish audience. The genealogy traces the Lord's family tree from Mary all the way back to Abraham and the key word as we said of Matthew is fulfilled because the messianic prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus Christ then we see Mark in his servanthood and in that it betrays the Lord as this suffering servant with the Roman reader in mind it opens the beginning of public ministry of Christ and it records even events of his life that's the key word of straightaway meaning and indicating immediate action and so when we look at Luke and his manhood the Gospel of Luke portrays Christ as the son of man that emphasizes his humanity and of Christ it traces the genealogy of the Lord back to Adam and has the Greek and the Gentile reader in mind. The first three Gospels as we said the synoptics of Matthew, Mark, and Luke describe the events and the life of the Lord Jesus Christ but when we come to the Gospel of John, John his godhood, we find that he emphasizes the meaning of the events in the Gospels that he records much of what is unsaid. He portrays Jesus as the son of God tracing not to Abraham, not to Adam, but before time there was no genealogy, there was no major scene, there was no boyhood, there was no baptism, there was no temptation, there was no amount of transfiguration, there was no guessing domain in the book of John, there was nothing, no publicers, no demonics, there was no parables. The Gospel of John was written with the church in mind. I thank God Pastor Keith preaches a great deal out of the Gospel of John, amen. And so when we look and begin to realize as we said then we noted that every chapter in the book of John emphasizes the Hebrew alphabet. There's only 21 chapters so it leaves off it doesn't get all 22 because there's only 21 chapters but the first chapter everything about that chapter deals with the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the aff, the symbol of God as the creator and the master of the universe. When you get to chapter 2, when you get to chapter 3, every one of them follows the lead on the standing of the Hebrew alphabet of what it says in verse 34. Jesus the Messiah, the Christ, the witness of Andrew verses 35 to 41. And so remember what we said in Matthew chapter 3 verses 13 through 17. This is the record of John the Baptist of the synoptics of his baptism that he was baptized, amen. And Mark the same in Mark chapter 1 verses 9 through 11, the second of the synoptics of Mark where it talks about how Jesus was baptized. Then of the third synoptics of Luke chapter 3 verses 21 through 22 that it talks about where Jesus was baptized. These took place in the synoptics but notice the events that recorded the record of John the Baptist and his baptism that Jesus occurs not only in Matthew chapter 3, not only in Mark chapter 1 verses 9 through 11, not only that but in Luke 3 verses 21 and 22 that we see the testimony of Jesus baptized. Here the events take us back to that day because John baptizes Jesus in the Jordan River immediately after Jesus goes into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. This is verse 35 but as we get on down it can jump back to verse 29, amen. If you go back into verse 29 you'll see that because even in verse 29 it said the next day and I thank God that Satan appears before Jesus with three Pacific temptations when Jesus resists these temptations Satan leaves him in time and so I'm glad in verse 29 if you go back to it it says the next day John says Jesus coming unto him and said behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. That's verse 29 the next day but when we start up in verse 35 in just a minute you're going to see the phrase again the next day and these are the events that transpired. I'm glad that we see again. Meanwhile back at the Jordan John speaks to the delegation from Jerusalem about his ministry and verses 19 through 28 that's already the 40th day. The 41st day was the 29th of the next day that you look and you'll see that all the way down to verse 34 that John had already publicly introduced Jesus and described the events that took place 31 days earlier at that baptism, amen. And so I'm glad that as we see this on the 42nd day we actually get to verse 35. John points out Jesus to two of his disciples and they follow him that day with him and later that day one of them they bring their brother to Jesus which is Andrew that brings Simon Peter and so as we get all the way to the end you get to the 43rd day that Philip and Nathaniel meet Jesus. Remember this because this is what's so unique about John because here we see the three temptations of Jesus by Satan. Stones in the bread in John chapter 6 verses 26 and verse 31 to make the bread in the wilderness jump from the temple and thirdly the kingdoms of the world in John chapter 6 verse 15 to take the kingdom by force. What a temptation that the devil tried upon him. The testing and trying that he went through just like the Paschal lamb went through for those 40 days. And again what did I say? It's the same as in verse 29 here you see in verse 35 and again the next day after John stood and two of his disciples the day after he made the previous statements Andrew and no doubt John who at that time they were disciples of John the Baptist. The two disciples were with John immediately they became disciples of the Lord they followed Jesus they may have been Andrew I know and I believe they were John and Andrew and so John did not give his own name nor did he refer to himself by name in the Gospel of John. His experience was very simple of he basically as many of us are that we come to Christ and so Andrew he stood where preaching was.

He has served the Church as a theologian, historian, apologist, evangelist, and catechist in a number of settings, speaking frequently in Catholic and secular media broadcasts and at conferences, seminars, parish missions, and scholarly gatherings. Put on the Armor, A Manual for Spiritual Warfare, with Dr. Paul Thickepen. I'm your host, Chris McGregor. Paul, thanks for joining me. Chris, great to be here. God bless. Keep the enemy out of the camp. Boy, now that's solid spiritual advice, isn't it? Well, you know, if you're going to win, you just don't want to be opening the doors of your fortress to the enemy. You know, the Scripture talk about the Trojan Horse, that well -known story of how you had the Greeks besieging the city of Troy for years and years, and they couldn't get in, they couldn't get in. And the way they finally got in was by creating a very beautiful horse figure that was large enough for them to put troops inside and leaving it on the gates of the city and making it look like they had abandoned the fight. And the Trojans, the people of Troy, were so taken in by the beauty of it, and they thought, oh, this lovely gift, let's bring it in. And then overnight the Greeks came out and they were inside the city and they destroyed it. It's a great image. You know, it's from classical files, not from Scripture, but I think it's the perfect image of a spiritual reality that we can do all the defending we want to of this castle that is our soul, this fortress. But there's some things we can do that are kind of, you know, not too wise, not too smart, that will actually invite the enemy inside, where we're opening the door to him and saying, come on in. And those things we have to be aware of. It is a very powerful section, though it's a small one, in the Manual for Spiritual Warfare, because the focus on it is the actual direct battle. But those Trojan horses, as you say, as others may describe them as entry points, even demonic entry points, it's important that we identify those and guard against them, isn't it? It is because the temptation will be that the devil will tempt us to embrace what looks like a gift, you know, looks like a desirable thing. But despite the attractive appearance, it's a catastrophe waiting for an invitation to invade. So it's just so important because, I mean, some of the things we can talk about will actually just open the door to demonic activity in your life. It really is. I mean, it can begin with just even simple things, the images and the things we view with our eyes in areas, whether it's horrifically violent or even areas of pornography or pornographic material, that it doesn't have to be as explicit in the beginning. But it's like a slippery slope, isn't it? It is, in part because our memories are such powerful things that we allow the thing in and it doesn't go back out. It stays. It's like the Trojan horse that stays behind the doors. But also, when we get into certain, you know, addictive, destructive habits, the way we're hardwired given the fall now is that a little bit will satisfy for a while, but then it demands more. And so we give it a little more, a little more. And it's that slippery slope you're talking about that ends up, can start out with something so small, end up with something so powerful. It's that notion of the vice again, that it makes a rut in your soul so deep that it's almost impossible to get out of it. It can start very early in our lives, can it? I mean, the exposure to these Trojan horses can happen in the lives of children, maybe through the activities of parents, maybe just being left alone and exposed to things that seem harmless in the beginning. They do, I think, especially Ouija boards. I was very sad to hear that there was, for Christmas shopping this year, there was this great spike in the sale of Ouija boards that probably can be attributed, at least in part, to some recent movie about a Ouija board. And even though the movie portrayed the Ouija board as this portal into something demonic, it sparked still interest on the part of a lot of people. I had one when I was a kid. I regret that day, but we didn't realize it. But it was this fun little parlor game we thought that we brought right inside the fortress of our home, and it wasn't a good thing. So that kind of thing, or you've probably heard of the children's game Bloody Mary or those kinds of things. They may seem harmless. And some people may have done it and not exposed themselves, but it's happened too often. It's such a dangerous thing that we have to make sure that our children especially are not exposed to those. And what our kids watch in other homes, I remember when my daughter was about four, I was in grad school and we didn't even have television and we were so careful to make sure we knew that whatever went into her mind by way of a screen was something healthy. And she went to visit with a little friend one day and they were playing in the back of a room where the father was watching, not something pornographic, but something very graphically violent. And she happened to turn right at that moment and look at the screen and see a man stab another man. And it just terrified her. She'd never seen anything like it. And it took us the longest time to help her get healed of that. So it's a small thing, but we just have to be very vigilant with our children and with ourselves. Today, Paul, I mean, our children are exposed to graphic violence on a scale that we've never really have ever experienced maybe in human tradition. I know people will bring up in conversation what ancient Rome did, but considering how between video games, movies, television, is it any wonder that a violent surge can take over and plant itself in the hearts of our young as well as the old? And yeah, I mean, iPhones, you know, and pads and pods, we can bring it with us wherever we go. It's the kind of thing, you know, when I was a child, I only dreamed of that you would have a, you know, Dick Tracy wristwatch that would actually have a little TV on it or something. But we've basically got that now, you know, with the images that can be wherever we are. And so it's all that harder for parents to track what our kids are doing, kids sending texts back and forth to each other. You know, it just goes on and on. It's ubiquitous. What an assault on the family, an assault on our individual characters.

A highlight from LST7 The Personality of St. Therese The Letters of St. Therese of Lisieux with Fr. Timothy Gallagher Discerning Hearts Podcast
"Discerninghearts .com in cooperation with the Oblates of the Virgin Mary presents the letters of Saint Therese of Lisieux with Father Timothy Gallagher. Father Gallagher is a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary a religious community dedicated to retreats and spiritual direction according to the spiritual exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. He is featured on several series found on the eternal word television network. He is also author of numerous books on the spiritual teachings of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and the venerable Bruno Lanteri founder of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary as well as other works focused on aspects of the spiritual life. The letters of Saint Therese of Lisieux with Father Timothy Gallagher. I'm your host, Chris McGregor. This is now Bishop Guy Gaucher. Anything that he's written is well worth reading. He is just a very very fine scholar of Therese. The bishop goes on, we have here an inexhaustible source of study. She whom we customarily call Saint Therese of the Virgin Mary was able to say at the moment of her death that the foundation of her whole piety was nourished on the text of Isaiah chapter 53 concerning the suffering servant. When we mutilate her name we mutilate her message to say nothing of her entire life and so when you give her the name that she wanted and keep in that name Therese of the Child Jesus of the Holy Face and our whole conception of Therese changes and the suffering that's a thread through everything that we're speaking about here is understood. Wow. Mutilate her name. I won't be doing that anymore. Yes, that said rather strongly, isn't it? Wow, it really is. It's so true. We don't have to over exaggerate that either. To speak of Therese of the Child Jesus captures a real deep truth about who she is and I don't think we need always to feel literally obliged to give the entirety of the name. But to recognize that there is another piece in the name and it is a foundational even the central piece helps us keep Therese in perspective. The childlike element without the suffering would risk remaining sentimental. When you put the two together as they were so profoundly put together in Therese anything sentimental disappears. I don't mean the warmth, the spontaneity, the delight, the joy, all of that which goes with a childlike spirit you know and Jesus says that to enter the kingdom we need to be like children. All of that remains but it is rooted in a very profoundly lived way of the cross you know that that gives it depth and maturity. If we rely on the testimony of Mother Agnes, that's her sister Pauline, given at the beatification process we have good reason to call her sister Therese of the Holy Face. Mother Agnes stated, Devotion to the Holy Face was the servant of God's, she was not yet venerable at this point, was the servant of God's special attraction, devotion to the Holy Face. As tender as was her devotion to the Child Jesus it cannot be compared to her devotion to the Holy Face. So all of that underlies what we've seen. I cannot tell you all I would like. My soul is powerless. If only I could but no this is not in my power. Why be sad? Do you not always think what I am thinking? I can't share everything with you the way I would wish to but don't let that be a sadness. I know that you already know everything in my heart. When they were younger girls together there was a time when they would go up in the call it the attic room of their home at Les Buissonné and together they would look out the window. The home was on a raised kind of a hill and so there was a broad panorama before them of the city and then off into the distance and they would sit there for hours just speaking about spiritual things and that was probably the moment when they were closest together. Therese compares those conversations to that conversation that Augustine has with his mother, remember at Ostia, before their death when time just disappears and they even touch eternity in some way as they speak. They were so deeply united in this at that time. She says I know that you know everything I'm thinking. Thus all I do not tell you you divine you understand. Jesus makes you feel it in your heart. Has he not moreover set up his abode there to console himself for the crimes of sinners? Yes it is there in the intimate retreat of the soul that he instructs us together and one day he will show us the day which will no longer have any setting. Happy feast. How sweet it will be one day for your Therese to wish it to you in heaven. As I said that perspective is is always there in Therese. This next is a brief selection from a description of Therese written by her novice mistress who was a Sister Marie of the Angels and Therese at this point is 20 years old and it's kind of classic you'll find it quoted often in writing on Therese. Sister Therese of the child Jesus 20 years old novice and jewel of the Carmel. It's dear Benjamin. Office of painting. So that's what Therese is doing at this time. She would decorate stoles or they had her do different things in the chapel and so on. Therese never had any training in painting. At one point her sister Selene who was the most gifted in this of all the sisters her Pauline also painted and wrote poetry and did some plays and things but Selene was the best of them as a painter and the first images of Therese really all come from paintings of Selene that Selene did of her. At one point she did a painting of Our Lady and she brought it to their father to see and it's really pretty remarkable for somebody that age and with the limited training that she'd had and he was so impressed by it that he proposed to Selene that she go to Paris and take lessons from an accomplished artist in painting and Selene said no to that because she already had it in mind that she wanted to enter the Carmel but as a sideline on that while this conversation was going on their father turned to Therese and said would you also like instruction in painting which Therese would have wanted in the worst way. You know for somebody who had no training in painting other than a certain amount that Selene showed her she does pretty well. I mean she's not a great painter but with training probably could have become as good as Selene perhaps. That's just a guess but certainly better than she was and she would have given anything for it. Her sister Marie I mentioned earlier could be blunt and sometimes didn't always see things well and she just spoke up quickly before Therese could even answer and just said no she doesn't have the same talent as Selene it would just be a waste of time and resources to do that and Therese didn't say anything and she just bore it you know she didn't speak up for herself so she never had the training in the painting that Selene had and that was Therese. She simply bore it but nonetheless at this point she is painting in the Carmel. She never had tasks which would involve heavy physical expenditures of energy you know heavy lifting and those kinds of things she just wouldn't have had the health for that sort of thing. She did help with the haying and those kinds of things. Office of painting in which she excels without having had other lessons than those of seeing our Reverend Mother her dear sister at work so Pauline actually. Tall Therese was I've seen five three five four but she was the tallest of the sisters. Tall and strong with the appearance of a child a tone of voice and expression hiding within her a wisdom of perfection a perspicacity of a 50 year old. In fact some of the sisters said that if it weren't for her age they would have willingly seen her as prioress of the Carmel just in terms of her maturity. Also the fact that she was one of a group of four sisters which was divisive within the community that was not an easy thing for the remainder of the community to have this block of family members like this. Soul always calm and in perfect possession of itself in all things and with everybody. Little innocent thing to whom one would give God without confession to receive communion there'd be no need for confession. But one whose head is full of mischief to play on anyone she pleases and these are the lines which are all often quoted mystic comic everything she can make you weep with devotion and just as easily split your sides with laughter during our recreations. After a lunch and supper there was a time when they would break silence and they would just sit together in the common space and they might be sewing or doing different things but in free conversation together. And they would say when Therese would not be there they'd say we are not going to laugh today. You know she was a mimic she could split people's sides with laughter with her imitations of people. For example she imitated their guide on that pilgrimage in Italy. Different things like that always kindly you know they always immediately say never in a but she could do this so well that she'd have them all just splitting their sides with laughter puns too. We lose these in English but in some of her sayings she'll respond lightning quick to something with a pun that once you uncover it and see what she's saying you just laugh you know. Maybe we're spoiled by all the pictorial representations of all the pictures of her but I have yet to see a picture of Saint Therese smiling. A full smile teeth laughing they're always the very serious very almost sedate nature of a picture of her. Well there is one reason at least for that and that is if you look at the photographs we're really blessed that Celine when she entered Celine was sort of into things like this you know painting and so on and she also got into photography and was allowed to bring her camera into the Carmel which is why we have the photographs of Therese that we have. But the way pictures were taken at the time it was a nine -second exposure so you will always see people very rigid and unmoving and their faces sort of immobile in all of these pictures and that's why in none of them do you see the smile which was the habitual expression on Therese face as the various witnesses all testify.

A highlight from St.-Elizabeth-of-Trinity-Day-8
"A novena to Elizabeth of the Trinity, Day 8 For the grace of possessing heaven already in this life. For St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, the veil between heaven and earth is thin. If we listen carefully with the ear of our heart, we can hear Mary share with us what she heard from Christ as he offered his great hymn of praise from the cross. It is a canticle so beautiful, so exquisite, it reaches the very heart of the Father and fills the whole world with a salvific love. Through Mary's presence in our agony, if we let her, St. Elizabeth explains that the Mother of the Lord will teach us how to sing this same canticle so that we can do something beautiful for God. She is with us to the very end. This is why St. Elizabeth calls Mary, Gate of Heaven. As beautiful as this is, there are other canticles of praise that Elizabeth invites us to hear. She shares the 144 ,000 gathered around the throne of the Lamb and she hears the elders who cry out, Holy, Holy, Holy, as they cast down their crowns before the risen Lord. The glory, praise, and silence of the saints echo in this life so that we too might know their joy. St. Elizabeth wants us to hear this eternal hymn of praise and imitate it. A life lived in humility, simplicity, and recollection avails itself to such imitation and when it does, heaven becomes present in this life by faith. By faith, what is in heaven becomes present on earth. In the humble limits of the present moment and circumstances, we can participate in the great praise of glory that the angels and saints offer in heaven. Heaven is not a remote or future reality. Heaven, even if hidden from our earthly eyes, is close by and present. It is present in the mass. It is also present in everything, because by faith, everything and anything can become a sacrament that gives us God. The love of heaven is present to us by faith. This is because faith makes us open to the presence of God dwelling in our souls. Wherever God dwells, there is heaven. The heaven of glory, with all the angels and saints, is present to our soul because this heaven is never separate from God. This means in the heaven of our souls, where God dwells, the heaven of glory is already breaking in. For the person of faith already implicated in the glory of heaven, nothing and no one is ever ordinary or commonplace. Every life event, no matter how small or large, how disappointing or joyful, is always a new opportunity for the soul to encounter the immensity of God's love. The Trinity's excessive love changes everything. Even the most ordinary tasks become charged with new and everlasting meaning. This means that no one who believes ever really has an ordinary life. Through faith, this passing life is open to the greatness of eternity. Time for St. Elizabeth is nothing other than eternity begun and still in progress. In relation to the grace of living heaven by faith, St. Elizabeth's mission finds its footing in the great prayer of Jesus the night before he died. On that night, he offered a supreme prayer in his heart's desires, that we might dwell where he dwells. The Son of the Father dwells in the Father's love, and St. Elizabeth is praying that we might realize Jesus' divine dream and dwell with him in this great love too. For this purpose, let us pray. Oh my God, Trinity whom I adore, help me to forget myself entirely so as to be established in you as still and as peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity. May nothing be able to disturb my peace, nor make me depart from you, oh my unchanging one, but may each moment carry me further into the depths of your mystery. Pacify my soul, make it your heaven, your beloved abode, your resting place. May I never leave you there alone, but may I be entirely present, my faith completely ready, wholly adoring, fully surrendered to your creative action. Oh my beloved Christ, crucified by love, I would like to be a bride for your heart. I would like to cover you with glory. I would like to love you until death. I feel my powerlessness, however, and I ask you to clothe me with yourself, to identify my soul with all the movements of your soul, to defeat me, to overwhelm me, to substitute yourself for me, that my life might be but a radiation of your life. Come into me as a doer, as healer, as savior. Oh eternal word, word of my God, I want to spend my life listening to you. I want to be completely docile, ready to learn everything from you. Then, through all nights, all voids, all weakness, I want to fixate on you always and to remain under your great light. Oh my beloved star, fascinate me so that I would not be able to forsake your shining light. Oh consuming flame, spirit of love, come over me until my soul is rendered into an incarnation of the word. May I be for him another humanity in which he renews his whole mystery. And you, oh Father, bend over your little creature, cover her with your shadow, and in her see only the beloved in whom you are well pleased. Oh my three, my all, my beatitude, infinite solitude, immensity in which I lose myself, I surrender myself as prey. Bury yourself in me, in order that I might bury myself in you, while waiting to contemplate in your light the immeasurable depths of your grandeur.

In the spiritual mission of St. Elizabeth, the Virgin Mary, humble Handmaid of the Lord, is the model of the radical surrender to the Trinity. When we look to her, we see what it means to be the prey of the Trinity, a grace that we've been asking for throughout this novena. When the angel appeared to her, Mary responded, I am the Handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your will.

"mary" Discussed on The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)
"As I said, it's day 69. We're reading paragraphs 44, 49. We're in a new section. We just concluded yesterday talking about Christ's human will, his true body, the heart of the incarnate word, which just moves us so much, remember. Paragraph four 78 that says, Jesus knew and loved each of us and all each and all. Love this each and all during his life, his agony and his passion and gave himself up for each one of us. He is loved us with a human heart. So we kind of concluded yesterday with that. Now, I'm going to the next paragraph of this section, and that is, here's Jesus, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary. So this section is going to be a lot about Mary. But as is highlighted in paragraph four 87, this is one sentence in paragraph four 87. That's all it is. And it says it states this. What the Catholic faith believes about Mary is based on what it believes about Christ and what it teaches about Mary, illumines in turn its faith in Christ. So for the next couple of days, we will be talking about Mary and how the Holy Spirit came upon her and second dated. That's the fancy word that we're going to be using in paragraph four 85. The Holy Spirit came behind the womb of the blessed virgin Mary and divinely second dated it, which is to make fecund right fruitful, fertile, that kind of thing, just a fun word to note. Here we are getting to hear it, and I want it to be. I don't want it to be buried in paragraph four 85, and you're like, wait, and divinely second date it? Yep. To make it fecund to make it fertile to make it alive. So anyways, we're talking about Mary and the Holy Spirit, who makes Christ the word of God and karnat in the womb of the blessed virgin Mary. Now because of this, Mary has a role. Where she's at the center without being the center, right? She's part of this mission of God's intention to save the world to redeem the world, and so here is in Mary's remarries basically predestination. Now, when we hear the word predestination, we need to understand that there is such a thing as predestination, meaning that God has a destiny for everyone. That he wants us to say yes to that he wants us to arrive at. So to have a destiny, it basically to have a destination. So God creating Mary for a particular mission for particular destination means that she was predestined, right? But that doesn't mean that she was fated. That doesn't mean that she had to. Say yes to the lord. She had a free free choice. In fact,

I wonder if how how fair this season but after this episode i mean my heart just goes out to poorest miss nutmeg because i really feel like oh i'm i'm seeing such an interesting narrative here saying so much about like coming back to all stars and like dealing with a reputation like being yourself and modifying to what it all of that all of that that drag race just like loves in terms of narratives. I'm glad that they showed all of this as part of sochi's narrative. Because you know we have her watching a tennis match when her group working my seeing her like dimming herself and you know being way too aware of her fans and then of course we get we kind of get hearst her backstory right In the workroom. She talks about how she didn't get the love on her season even though she made it to the top i forget who said that the episode but she made it to the top and didn't get any love She she was. She's been getting in her head because she has something to prove. And i don't know. There's something that i can totally relate to about like dimming yourself so that you know people like you at the time back when her season aired. He's an eleven like it was cool to hate on silky. She got she said this. She got it from promoters and colleagues that sad face. mary. Yeah i like i. I can see that. I can recognize that. I think it's a certain energy that could probably do a whole only mary's on like what is it. How how do you like. What is it about a certain personality where it's like. Oh it's cool dislike that person it's now you know what becomes the lake makes that bait. You know what i mean and certainly was. I felt like it. Was you know she was an easy target. And maybe some of the answers are obvious. It's like well. I mean in all of the ways she is not you know conventionally what society approves of And you know defies it anyway so that would be a natural response. But i feel a. I don't know. I think that this show did her a disservice by keeping her around longer than she probably should have been around based on her runway. Looks because i remember from caesar t a season eleven. It wasn't just that she was loud in the workroom. And like did that. Weird stunt with miley cyrus and all that. But it was that her runways just weren't up to par and yet they kept her right they sent after lip sync..

I really enjoyed the two of them together. You know but i i listen. I'm just going to say. I did not like these. I did not late. Teens arose as looks at all this week. that's fair. mary have an opinion. no i haven't opinion. No problem i i mean. Libya's makeup and wig on denali. I it was bad. And i just thought that alleviate runway where she was doing the skating and stuff and it was basically our workroom. Look i'm just like yeah. I don't know. I wouldn't take off points for it being very like a workroom. Denali or entrance look denali. That's fine but the walk. And i was just thinking i don't know if they i don't know if this is enough. I hear you tina and rosie were. Were next for me. But not. Because i didn't enjoy more for the the makeup. I think that was just for me. It was the makeup. I mean the makeup was going to say. What did i like the least. It was like the dresses were. I love a housewife look. And they'll look tina. I was like well. Anyone could wear that like it doesn't have any ruffles. I think that was like you know a kantha. If you're gonna give me signature rosa. She's she's looked like a throw pillow all season. You know give. Gimme a rough. Oh you know go. Dust the cupboards over there. Yeah gimme something. But this i was like you know you get this cachet as michelle would say the makeup just you know it was just. It's one thing when they have guests on when they have like old veterans on or like you know just these old old gay guys odd and you put the makeup on them and you know everyone kind of like andrea martin.

I can't remember but she was one of them on there. That got booted off morose. is it took. i don't think i said look up her. Name 'cause I think we should say her name because she a fraud But i think she got into like all of her assets were frozen I know that they also she had tried something similar to this before. Sellers playbook like another like real estate scheme. So that's kind of what these bastards do you know. They're out there looking for people that are in desperate situations. Is it jesse. Tv ah yes. I see her. Yup that's the lady. I think that I've read about her and she said she really did not mean to make false and obscene substantiated claims. I really thought this was going to work. It's like you hire people. That don't even know what they're doing like. How do you think that's going to work. And you don't give all of your clients the right support so i don't know how you think that's supposed to work right. Like i could see how she would see. Well this is like a you know like the they had the right word. A playbook okay. Here's what you do and here's how you do it. But yeah if you don't have coaches that are available. They don't know what they're doing. I mean kind of flat on its face. Yeah yeah i mean. I lost like tons of money doing this stuff. And then it's like i got desperate and tried other people that were also fraudulent. So i mean it's just the whole industry is just overrun. These like stupid fraudulent amazon selling courses. And that's how people are making their money doing amazon. They're making courses in their people that haven't even been selling for that long. You know it's like all the legitimate ones are probably the ones making a bunch of money and they've been doing it for a long time and then you wish you selling stuff on amazon. I don't think so. I would be surprised if she was So i mean. I'm i hope she sits in jail. I hope she gets. I hope she had everything taken away from her hall for. Yachts forgotten everything. 'cause i mean. She took advantage of senior citizens you know. These are people that this is like their retirement. Savings link people. That don't have a whole lot of money. Maxed everything out now. They're totally screwed. You know the cat declared bankruptcy. Probably they just prayed on everybody in. There is a lot of people that lost. The money's still have never gotten it back so i don't think she went to jail. Yeah it's probably not. I mean people like that never usually do which is terrible. I think that she was ordered to pay the money back. Which it's like. Yeah like are they gonna find all that probably not and honestly. I think a lot of it went back to the government the ftc. I even think because we all got like a settlement check for like forty six hundred bucks or something that was it out of the thirty six thousand that people spent and probably more you know for inventory and everything else they bought..

So i did not like that part and then also. It was hard for me to get a coaching call because of the time zone differences and they didn't have all these people that they said they did. You know it was basically what you're paying for blaming. I complained quite a bit about it. They were finally starting to kinda do some stuff in. This is where i lucked out in.

I have some if your product ready but sellers playbook warehouses closed down. So where do you want me to send your inventory. And i'm like what so. I go online and i can't get onto their website at all. Gosh right so. I'm just like luckily right before this happened. I had talked to one of the other members like a couple of them. And so i had reached. I reached out to him and he's like. Hey what is going on. I think sellers playbook is shutdown. Right so then i look it up. And the ftc the federal trade commission of minnesota shut them down. Oh my god so twenty four hours later. I'm just like what the hell is this. Shit right what the hell's going on at this crap so twenty four hours later. I still can't get online. I was talking to one of the guys. he's like. Oh yes totally down so we get this email.

"Llc eighty so i kind of broke it down and look like well. That's actually not too bad. you know. Yeah yeah so thousand bucks. Like i'm kind of thinking about it in terms of if it's a year and thirty six thousand dollars. Let's say you had thirty six. Coaching calls with like big holidays indications and stuff like a little less than a thousand bucks a week. You know right. So i was thinking of it that way. You know kind of. And i was like well. This sounds pretty legitimate. Whatever and so then Wasn't sure because was a lot of money than i ever spent at once. I've never ever spent that kind of money all at once. And i'm not usually that type of person either so again it's like that vulnerability that they're after you know people that are desperately trying to either get out of their jobs or get into a better place or you know. Try to get out of their bad situations. Those are the people thereafter and it was pretty obvious so then they wanted you to bring your partner in your boyfriend or girlfriend. So i did that the third day and we sat down and they gave us even more information you know to seem more quote unquote legit. And so then. I heard her fair. I think they wanted them. They're just so that they could try to make it so that you would want to spend the money instead of going home to your significant other and being like i'm gonna spend thirty six thousand on this and then they'd be like no way they wanted it all the people the household involved so that they could you know. Make sure that they seal the deal by getting your money. That would legitimize it for me. It would it would make me think they were trying to be more legit and like i want my family in all right. Yeah they actually give right part of their scheme so and it worked you know so at the end of the third day. I was like okay. I'm to do this. And luckily i was smart enough to put it all on credit cards and not give them any cash. Were any checks or anything like that. And i'm gonna tell people out there you know like if you're stuck in a situation like that where you're putting forth like lots of questionable funds make sure it's always on a credit card because you can always dispute that later a lot easier than you can..

"Certainly libya's sir. Only i saw tina. I don't know why she was in the bottom i. She had comedy moments. Mary the other thing that i just wanted. Just praise this musical episode because it was better than most if i'm being honest better than most musicals and they sung their own vocals. They learned these vocals in one day and record them right to the fact that tina was able to do that. And we were able to do that. And then lipson get the next day. Memorized there even more so an accomplishment for tina because of how much she had to do and they talked about this and untucked. I think olivia was saying you know it's like you know you're in the only point of reference you have is like some sheet music a recording and you have to lake embody that character like it's really challenging and i think of all of them that was the most challenging for tina because everyone else was playing an archetype or a moment or a bit and she had to kind of be this presence throughout i just. I was so shocked that that tina wasn't given more credit for that just because she bungled a second of it. You know do you i know. Do you think that if tina didn't have the wide baritone gave a bronco that olivia talked about. I think she called her like an old person. The wobble which. I don't think it's quite a wobble. I think it's more of the gay broadway. Baritone that never never got cast yeah. Do you think that tina had rose as type of voice. Tina would have one good question. 'cause i i kind of i loved that she was going to that ethel merman. Ask dick great. She's a fucking drag queen named tina burner. If she doesn't sound like ethel merman. What am i doing here. I know i know i feel like tina. I tweeted this out. But i i want to say it and this is an easter egg for the end of our episode like cast tina and alexis in ruthless. The musical bring that back. People will flock to that theater to see them..

"In this entire world. I welcome you well my friends my warriors. I am so excited to let you know about a new thing that we've developed launch today and that is the mary max store. We developed this through the pandemic with the intention of using this as a platform to raise funds for the foundation for grieving children inc. Many years ago. I realized that it would really be necessary to develop a vehicle so that the foundation would be sustained and funds would be coming in on a regular basis so that the work of wonderful people around the world who helped grieving children teens and young adults. After they've experienced the death of a loved one would be able to be continued for many years. Now profits from my books and my speaking have always gone to the foundation. That i started many years ago and now with the mary mack shop or i should say store. We're able to have a viable functioning website and ecommerce website where everyone can come purchase products for either themselves if they're grieving or for those who they love who are grieving. We have a few themes which. I'm very proud of the first. One is a heart of gold collection. The next one is a floating american flag collection and the last is an american heart collection. Now i realized my voice carries over fifty three countries and the american flag might not be your thing but the heart of gold can be available to anywhere anyone anywhere. Excuse me and. I think that you'll really appreciate it.
