Moving on from the failed appearance of a beloved local pastor, hosts Karen Valentine and John Case take on several of the easier spiritual challenges: Our show runs LIVE Fridays at 7 AM Eastern on Enlighten Radio.

******** 

1. Really, now that Easter is passed,  WHAT "nightmare vexed to that rocking cradle" was really born,  at the Nativity in Bethlehem centuries ago;  where CP30 and R2D2 were also present, as "the Wise Men"; what?

 
2. GPT, or some other AI incarnation, just assisted in a multi-thousand dollar robbery of a relative, including very skillful identity theft. What should we do?

3. Is the flood of so-called random gun violence a cover for targeted murders? If the law is powerless to protect, what can communities, or churches do?

 

 

Last Word: The Dutch Shoe by Louis Jenkins

She was out of the water for years, since the early fifties maybe, over at the shipyard in Superior.  You could see her from the highway, her masts down, sails stowed away.  I loved that boat.  All the time I was growing up I made plans to buy her someday.  What shall I say happened?  That my father bought her and put her in the back yard and kept garden tools in the hold?  Or that my mother bought her and kept her in the china closet with the jade Buddha and the eight-day clock?  That her brass gleams in the firelight, still dry and harmless?  No.  I bought the Dutch Shoe and sailed to Rangoon and Singapore and a hundred other places.  I faced incredible dangers and hardships.  I talk loud and drink all night.  When I snore I wake bears in the forest and fish in the sea.  Early mist rises from the water.  Ice forms on the masts.  My hair has turned white and my teeth have fallen out.  I can't see a thing and I am sailing away.
