Just a note of continuing thanksgiving for your thoughs on this healing thing . . .

It looks now like a January debut for the Radio Outreach. I'm hoping to call the program "Reason to Rise," after a John Stewart song of the same name.

Miranda and I saw John in Alta Dena, CA at a little place called The Coffee Gallery. Only holds 40 folks. Spoke w/ him afterward and asked his blessing on the title and using his recording as the theme.

I've asked him just a few nights ago if he would consider recording a solo version of the song - just John and guitar. The lyrics would come thru stronger in that setting, I figure.

And special thanks to Ms Mouse for Cheryl Wheeler and Bruce Guthro music. Good Stuff I'd not heard before, and now will seek more.

I'll find the lyrics to Reason to Rise and post 'em.

Looks like this thing is gonna really come to pass - Praise God - and y'all have been wonderfully "instrumental" and "vocal" in your thoughts.

Keep on keepin' on . . .
