Donna Burke explains that her mum gave birth to seven children of which there are two sets of twins. Donna is the first born twin to a boy and the second set of twins was also boy/girl. She basically in the middle of the seven children.To add to Donna's many talents, she is also the long time English announcer on the Shinkansen bullet train, from Tokyo to Osaka. She refers to herself as an entrepreneur, which she says she inherited from her dad. In addition to lending her voice to many genres, she also has a business called "Royal Flush" Japan Toilet Sound Maker. There's a Japanese cultural love affair with sound effects that mask any noises one may make while busy on the toilet!The video games that she's featured on, including her singing songs and character roles in video games are Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill 2 and 3.My guest's mum had a very rough childhood. Marg's mother, Donna's maternal grandmother, was an alcoholic. Her second husband was a pedophile. Marg and her older sister were in and out of orphanages, treated horribly while they were there. So the two sisters figured out that they could pretend that their life was better than it actually was. The two sisters felt so much shame about their broken family, parent's divorced, etc so they decided it was a good idea to dream up a different past. This was a coping mechanism which seemed to help. When Marg was 14-15 years old, her biological father eventually let Marg live with him once he saw the horrific conditions she had been living in. Donna loved to sing and really tried very hard to get every opportunity to perform when she was a teen. Unfortunately her mom, busy with all the kids, didn't really realize how passionate Donna was and how committed she was to fulfilling her dreams of being a performer. Come 1996, Donna realized it was time to get away from Australia and ventured on to live in Japan. She is still there today with a budding career -using her voice for singing monster hits from legendary video games and doing voice overs, including the job as the english announcer on one of Japan's bullet trains.Marg has been to Tokyo to visit her daughter and loves spending time in Tokyo. Marg also was thrown into the spotlight because of the notoriety of her daughter's voice as the announcer on the Shinkansen bullet train. The video interview went viral and that was Marg's first experience with real fame.Though Donna's mom had a dark childhood for many, many years, she still instilled in her children that it okay and important "to be kind to yourself and it's okay to love yourself "Donna Burke has a wonderful sense of humor, though at times her childhood may have been a bit chaotic, her sense of humor staid intact. I so enjoyed speaking with her about her mom Marg. One of Marg's favorite songs that Donna sings is "Sins of the Father.""Sins of the Father" is a song from the game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It was first featured in the E3 2013 trailer.The lyrics were written by Ludvig Forssell, performed by Donna Burke and composed by Akihiro Honda.Donna also sings:"Metal Gear V:The Phantom Painhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNvD-oNNQso#:~:text=Metal%20Gear%20V%3A%20The%20Phantom,the%20Father%20%2D%20Donna%20Burke%20%2D%20YouTube Donna Burke, the voice of Angela in "Silent Hill 2" wrote a song about her character.

In part three of Encountering God's Truth, Kathy talks about what happens when we encounter TRUTH - God's TRUTH. His truth is different from that of the world. It is absolute and eternal. Truth always has and always will begin with God and not with man. We can't change it - God's truth stands forever. The wonderful thing about His TRUTH is it is available to every single one of us, and when we encounter truth, it never fails to set us free from bondage. Amen.

In today's episode I chat with Dr Marguerite Harb. She details her story of love, loss, hope and total surrender to how God is writing her story. Only with Christ at the centre does suffering truly make sense. "Knowing that Christ has gone ahead of us and awaits us there gives us courage to face the darkness and enter into the silence. In fact,after we endure the trial of silence and experience the depths of our own weakness, we come to a deeper faith in God and the power of His strength to protect us and sustain us. What appeared to us to be silent absence turns out to be silent presence, and we discover that God is always closer to us that what we dreamed possible. What appeared to be silence to us was in fact deafeningly loud and what appeared dark to us was in fact blindingly bright." Pope Benedict XVI. The Book that has brought me joy this week. Personal Prayer- a guide to receiving the Father's Love. https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234#:~:text=Personal%20Prayer%3A%20A%20Guide%20for%20Receiving%20the%20Father's%20Love%20brings,Acklin%2C%20OSB%2C%20and%20Fr.

In what'll probably be my longest-ever episode, I record my thoughts about my father, our last times together, and the frustrating and exhausting days after that.Again, this episode is the MUTHA of over-shares, so if you don't want to see how they make the sausage, and what happens to it when the body is through, you may consider skipping this one.If that's the case, I'll be back to my regular shenanigans in just a week or so. Download the show? Alright, just Right-Click HERE. Also, I attempted to do a video version of the 2017 introduction, but the video stopped recording after six minutes, leaving only the audio. If you feel like checking that out, it's here:
I meant to have a story this week, but I switched it with the next week's show. You understand.Well, this episode is a tiny bit out of date now, but here you go. I was driving along, and I thought I'd say a thing or two about my dad, who lost all his chickens, and who gave me a bit of fatherly advice concerning a new car. "My father only gave me one piece of advice. He said, 'Son, don't ever get married. Go to sea.'"StingIf you'd like to download the episode, for some reason, Right-Click HERE.
