Something Says You're Home

If you listen very closely, the souvenirs that you gathered over your lifetimes and placed in your home might whisper their history to you.
Can you hear them?

I love that last GEM recorded by Phil, entitled Something Says You’re Home.
There's a Big Deal Cookin' Somewhere
Submitted by Bruce on Wed, 05/01/2024 - 14:40Introduction by Phil
Many years ago, a co-worker of mine said that his mission in life was to great as rich as possible, and would often tell us what big deal he was working on at the time. This song is dedicated to him, and “no”, I don’t know if he ever got rich.

Response by John:
The last GEM you heard was called The Happy Journey. And it reminds me, in my own life – and that is what is amazing about these poems and songs by Phil – how much you can relate to yourself.
I can think of a woman I once knew from Japan. This woman traveled from Scotland to Canada to see him. I met a woman from Japan. Her name was Shigiko.

The Language That Kept Calling Me
Submitted by Bruce on Tue, 03/19/2024 - 12:05John: This is John back in the studio with Reet. I just heard about Reet, did I hear right, that you just went back to college, and you have a degree in college? And what is your degree?
Reet: I have a certification in ASL which is American Sign Language.
John: My understanding is I went to college, 17, 18, 19, graduated at 20. Most people go to college when they are 18 to 20 years old. Are you 20 years old?
Reet: No, John, I’m actually 74.
The Power of Prayer
Submitted by Bruce on Wed, 05/17/2023 - 15:31I’d like to talk about my faith today. I give full credit to my mother for my faith.
My mother was a divorced Catholic who remarried. Who could no longer receive the sacraments in the Catholic church, but she made sure that we were brought up Catholic. Every week we went to religious education. And every Sunday, she took us to Mass.
And if my older brother, who had been out having a good time, came in late and knocked the phone off of the wall, we went to 7 o’clock Mass, otherwise it was usually 10 o’clock Mass.
