Playing A Bit Of Catch-Up

First and foremost, I apologize for the lack of posts as of late. And the lack of shows. The day/night job has been wreaking havoc with my life schedule, and I’m still working on establishing a better work/life balance.

Anyway, there is a show for which I have yet to post information. If you are subscribed to the podcast via the various methods — Apple, Google, iHeart — you already have it. If not, the on-demand link is here. It’s a mostly music show.

I’ve written a few stories recently at RedState that in part or whole refer to artists I play on the show. Looking for Joy as Deep as Sorrow uses the Bob Bennett song of the same title to discuss how joy often comes through helping others. Cephas Hour Artist Highlight: Rachel Wilhelm is rather self-explanatory, methinks (Rachel’s website is here). While the Left Gets Ridiculous, the Right Gets Ready talks about spiritually preparing for Christ’s Second Coming, illustrating the point through discussing the music and ministry of Oden Fong.

I don’t know if I’ll be recording a new show episode this week, as I’m working a ton of hours. But I’ll do my best to get one together.

Thank you for your patience, prayers, and support!
