history of my podcast

     Almost 20 years ago I finally got to produce a play I had written back in the 80s.  I arranged to record an ad for it on the local radio station. While there, the owner commented: "You should do a broadcast. You have the voice for it."  

    Soon after, I contacted my friend Russ, who was an audio engineer.  He agreed to participate, so I started writing scripts.  I was (and still is) called "Reflections from God's Word."  We recorded 4 at a time, and I hand-delivered them to the station.

   When I moved to Camp Hill, PA I was unable to get any interest from the local Christian radio stations, since I was unaffiliated with any recognized church.  That's when the idea of a podcast emerged.  Russ again agreed to add new intros and outros to what had been recorded and I started again.      

    The local response was disappointing, but something else happened: People in Europe, South America, Africa, Asia and many island nations were also listening!  

    After a year or so, the prerecorded "Reflections" were all posted.  Russ had retired and was 3 hours away anyway.   I eventually got hold of recordings of messages I'd given at a local church and posted them.  That was a mixed blessing; the church didn't have an audio team, so the messages weren't all easy to hear.  Many of them are still available.

    More recently, I learned how to record right on my computer.  I still don't know how to add music and effects, but I'm back to recording what I call "unplugged Reflections".  When I run out of pre-written scripts, I plan to try speaking extemporaneously.  

    Meanwhile, I hope you'll check them out on

WHY THE NEW "DUNE" REMAKE IS DANGEROUS

  I read, and loved, the Frank Herbert Novel DUNE about 40 years ago.  I also watched the two different movies (the second a miniseries) with mixed feelings.  But when I watched this latest version, alarm bells went off.        The main character's title in the book and the earlier versions was "Maud 'Dib".  I forget what it meant.  But while watching this latest version, I couldn't help but notice that it was changed to "Mahdi".        "Mahdi" has a meaning outside the "Dune" franchise.  It's the tile of the Muslim Messiah; the one who will exterminate those who refuse to convert to Islam.         Muslims have a right to promote their faith in this country, however much I oppose it.  But when an established story is CHANGED to accommodate them, it's time to take notice.   As for Islam itself, my usual response to their challenges is this:  Islam came along over 6...

"Scientific Proof"

 " Scientific Proof" is that which is repeatable, demonstrable and observable. Period. In other words, the complete absence of transitional forms, and the millions of years required to make evolution at all believable, are outside the realm of science.  And yet, they have insisted on calling it science (and even saying "science" when they mean "evolution").  Their position was logically untenable, no matter how loudly and authoritatively they insisted on it.   When evolutionists finally realized that, they invented something called "historical science" as opposed to "operational science". Now they have a form of "science" that doesn't have to submit to experimentation and observation. Convenient, hmm?     Consider this quote from Ken Ham's excellent book SIX DAYS: "Men on the moon, airplanes, and the Internet all fall under the category of operational science -- none of this has anything to do with historical...

Intro to my autbiography OUTSIDER

      Based on the reception of my other books, OUTSIDER will never be a bestseller.  In fact, I doubt it'll ever be finished.  That's probably why I feel constrained to put what I've written as an introduction (so far) here on the blog.        I will never know what it's like to be anybody but me.      I will never know what it's like to be part of an identified minority: ethnic, religious, national or linguistic.      But I know what it's like to be on the outside. I know what it's like to be automatically excluded because of who and what I am.      So, when people say to me, “You don't understand,” because I'm not a member of that group, I find it ironic.      They're right; I don't understand.      But there are things I do understand.      I understand what it's like to be told, “This doesn't concern you,” and then ...
