IT'S BEEN A WHILE......
Important updates from your show's host...
It’s been a long time since I had
the time to make a “Blog” post, and that needs to change. For the past two years or so, time has been a
precious commodity. It is so easy for us
to get so caught up in our “day-to-day” activities; we fail to make time for some
very important and beneficial endeavors. Writing and communications (in general) have been reduced to short
Facebook™ memes and speedy texts. We live on “sound-bites,” questionably
sourced material and photo shopped pictures.
Too often we YELL at each other, de-friend each other and even show a
terrible lack of common sense and simple decency. As a society in the Western
World we have forsaken knowledge, truth and wisdom for poorly espoused
ideology. The fastest disappearing occupation
today is that of a “Statesman.” We are
easily swayed because our memories are short. Too many people simply “live in
the moment,” and make zero provision for the potential consequences that truly
can cause. Simply put, our feelings have
replaced our logic, and our self-centered view of the world has closed our
minds.
When I started “Your Weekend
Show” in March of 2015, the goal was to provide a radio program that was entertaining,
substantive and useful. Over that time
the show has taken a few unexpected twists and turns, while trying to maintain
being a relevant voice in a rapidly changing world. In the weeks ahead, you
will begin to hear some changes in “Your Weekend Show.” In addition, you will start seeing major
changes on the Website and even the Facebook™ page. We will continue to use and
expand our world outreach via Shortwave Radio, as (contrary to what some believe) it is still a very viable platform
that reaches billions of people each week. In the weeks ahead, we
will begin an effort to use other terrestrial radio options as well; however,
we will also begin to expand our on-line presence and offerings, even including
video. For this radio ministry and other projects, this should prove to be an
exciting time.
As for doing a “Blog?” look
for more items appearing on a regular basis.
As I said earlier, time has been a precious commodity, and my wife and I
had made that a prayer priority in recent months to make the time. God has faithfully
heard and answered those prayers and now has provided a way to have that much
needed time. For us it will be a period of change and transition, but that is
fine with us. I am also fully aware that there are many “voices” out there
competing for your attention, and I will just be one of many, perhaps even just
a voice “Crying in the Wilderness,” but with that said here’s what I know;
these humble efforts can be blessed and multiplied beyond our imagination by
our sovereign God.
For those that have listened
to this program for a while, my most humble thanks to you for taking the time
to listen as often as you can. If you have never taken the time to share your
thoughts, now would be an excellent time.
Would you take a moment to write and share your thoughts? It would mean
the world to me. You can send me a direct email to bob@yourweekendshow.com. Lastly, keep
this program and the expanded ministries in your prayers. Trust me, prayer DOES make a difference, and they
are needed now more than ever before.
To God alone be the Glory!
