Andy Turner continues in week 3 of the Christmas Carols series with a message on "Oh Holy Night."

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. In today's episode we are wrapping up Hymns of Christmas as we complete our journey through the birth of Jesus guided by our favorite Christmas hymns. Today's guides are Silent Night & Oh Holy Night. After recapping and taking a brief look at Isaiah 9:6, I talk about this important aspect to the good news of Christmas that Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the peace to whom God has given to those He has given His grace, the peace that Micah prophesized about. What does it look like to live at peace because Jesus is peace? How does the imagry of Silent Night and the social justice message of Oh Holy Night play a part in us understanding what it means to be at peace? Also, I look at the war and poverty surrounding one of these hymns, and the Unitarians are at it again with our second Christmas hymn today. Bonus, I wrap this whole series up in a nice little bow by quoting part of Dr. Maya Angelou's poem Amazing Peace.

Luke 2:8-14Living Bible That night some shepherds were in the fields outside the village, guarding their flocks of sheep.  Suddenly an angel appeared among them, and the landscape shone bright with the glory of the Lord. They were badly frightened, but the angel reassured them. “Don't be afraid!” he said. “I bring you the most joyful news ever announced, and it is for everyone! The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born tonight in Bethlehem! How will you recognize him? You will find a baby wrapped in a blanket,[b] lying in a manger!” Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others-the armies of heaven—praising God: “Glory to God in the highest heaven,” they sang,[c] “and peace on earth for all those pleasing him.” Imagine for a moment that you're a shepherd back in the B.C. days. It's just another cold, lonely, pitch-dark night, sitting by the fire, watching the sheep. Then, suddenly, a blinding light pierces through the blackness, and you're face to face with an angel. He sees the terror in your eyes, knows you think that he has come to kill you because of your sin and low position, so then he declares, “Don't be scared. I have good news of great joy for all people.”  Disbelief overwhelms reality as you think, “Why me? And why here? … Aren't there some important people somewhere to do this? After all, we're just shepherds.” Shepherds, as a stereotype, had a reputation for being low-lives, men of bad reputation. They didn't observe the ceremonial law and were not religious men. They were so known for stealing and dishonesty that their testimony would not be considered reliable enough to testify in court. Think about that… God chose first to announce He was here to these men of bad reputation. He made His birth announcement to the least of these, setting a pattern for His Son's ministry. On that night, that holy night, everything changed and the broken, rejected, lowest of society were the ones that God chose to tell first.  The words of the beautiful song, Oh Holy Night, capture the essence of that encounter. As we finish our time together - let me read you the words for this beautiful song.  O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,  It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth;  Long lay the world in sin and error pining,  'Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.  A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,  For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;  Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!  O night divine! O night when Christ was born. Father, we thank you for this time of joyful waiting. May the hope and joy of this season fill our hearts and make us living signs of your love for a world that hungers for your peace. Immanuel, God with us. Amen

Hark; the herald angels sing, “Do you hear what I hear”? I think it's the most wonderful time of year again. Do you have a favorite that you consider to be the Christmas song?

Each night a child is born is a holy night. Kris offers reflections on the young of today and how their worries are different to those of previous generations. Nuclear war doesn't loom as large, the cold war is over, but the struggle for resources continues to threaten world peace. Climate change looms large in the minds of our young today. Kris encourages people of all ages to remember love is an action and to find a way to serve others.

For a long time, ivy conjured images of all things pagan, superstitious, gluttonous, debauched, and morbid. For those reasons, it would be forbidden from churches and Christian homes. Today, it's a classic symbol of Christmas.

Welcome to part one of our end-of-year review series. We will have three episodes that we are referring to as the “Finishing Strong Series.”  Every December, I do an in-depth end-of-year review with my clients and give you a peek into that experience.    The most powerful thing about coaching is having someone know you and your work so well they can advise you on what to do. But after that, the most powerful part is the power of the perfect question at the right time to unlock clarity.     This is a time to pause, look back, and celebrate everything this year brought us, whether it was a win, a challenge, or a lesson.  Today, we are going to reflect on personal growth and achievements.

What is your favorite Christmas song? All of us have one. Maybe it's Oh Holy Night, or Joy to the World. For some, it doesn't get any better than when Bing Crosby sings White Christmas. Or maybe you are like Pastor Jim and Pastor Chad and Little Drummer Boy feels like it is about you! One of the most well known songs that is sung every year around Christmas is “Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel.” That name, “Emmanuel,” literally means “God With Us.” It also means that Christmas is a reminder that God put on flesh, stepped out of Heaven and into our dark and dying world, and became one of us. It's a thought that almost seems too big to be true, and yet it is. So what does the incarnation of God in human form mean for us? Obviously, that was part of the plan in order that humanity could be redeemed from sin and death, but are there implications beyond just salvation? Join Pastors Jim and Chad for a conversation on the incarnation of Jesus and what Almighty God putting on flesh in the form of a baby in Bethlehem means for us today.

This week, we'll explore the meaning behind the beloved carol, "O Holy Night," and how it reveals God's work throughout history and in our lives today. Join us as we reflect on how small beginnings, like a quiet night in Bethlehem, lead to transformative, world-changing moments and uncover the deeper truths of the season.

 Rob goes to college and meets Steffiby senorlongo. Listen to the ► Podcast at Connected.INTRODUCTIONI was three when I started singing in church and even though I couldn't read the words I could remember enough from week to week to sing right along with the adults. By five I was leading the youth choir, singing loud and clear during services and practicing almost daily at home during the week.At seven I was encouraged to audition for the faculty at a major school of music in Manhattan and found myself on an early morning train from my home in Pelham for the twenty minute ride to Grand Central Station in Manhattan and from there a subway to Lincoln Center for the short walk to the auditorium.I was asked to sing two songs; I chose ‘Danny, Boy” and “Oh Holy Night,” singing both a cappella. I especially loved “Oh Holy Night.” It's so hard to sing well and I could really show off my power and range; seven years old and I already had an ego! The judges must have liked it because they offered me a scholarship. From then on I spent every Saturday during the school year taking voice lessons, learning how to breathe and enunciate, the importance of good posture, and how to sing from my diaphragm rather than my mouth. It took me less than two years to be able to hold a note for more than two minutes.I gave my first professional concert when I was thirteen; a combination of rock tunes and old fashioned folk songs from the fifties and sixties. I was able to earn more than $40,000 that first year and even more the following year when I was a high school freshman. I hit the big time my senior year when I was featured on a PBS special. After that I was in high demand.I learned to play several instruments, but other than the acoustic guitar, my choices were considered, well; bizarre. I loved the idea of the harp. It was surprisingly similar to the guitar, but the tone of the notes was different; richer and earthier. My girlfriend had an orgasm every time I played a glissando. It was actually funny watching her writhe on the couch or floor while I strummed. One of the great things about the glissando; it could go on forever. Sometimes I tortured her by continuing for several minutes. She ruined more skirts that way. My other choice was the mandolin. It was also similar to the guitar, but much smaller, making the notes much higher and the tone tinnier. I loved the way it sounded.The people at the music school were disappointed when I selected a small university in the greater Boston area. Truthfully, I was tired of taking voice lessons. I wanted a well-rounded education, including some courses in business administration and finance which I hoped would help me to manage the money I expected to earn in my singing career.Knowing that I still had to practice daily I bought an old house in Medford near the university, remodeling a large porch in the rear into a soundproof studio. I hired a local couple, Joe and Carla Romeo, to handle the cleaning, yard maintenance, and cooking. All this work was finished over the summer. I was ready on both my educational and occupational fronts by the time school began.CHAPTER 1I was finalizing a contract with a big-time Boston orchestra, sitting in the business office and leafing through page after page. I'd done this before and my agent had already approved the agreement so this was more a formality than anything else. I was only half listening when the secretary walked in. “Stan, I've got another request from the music department at Malden High School. They'd like a musician and a singer, if possible.”I looked up. “Malden? Isn't that near where I'm going to school? I'd be happy to do it if a Thursday is okay. That's the only day I don't have any classes.”“That's awfully good of you to volunteer, Robert. Most of the orchestra members hate these high school requests. Gwen, check with the school and if Thursday is good for them we'll happily send Robert out there. We'll cover your gas and lunch, but I'm afraid I can't pay you for it.”“That's okay. Think you could transport a harp to the school for me? I'll bet most of the kids have never really heard one.” I signed the contract and left. They knew where to find me.Thursday was fine with the teacher so I made arrangements to spend the entire day there the third week of September. I rose early, ate a big breakfast courtesy of Mrs. Romeo and carried my guitar/mandolin backpack out to my car. I arrived at the school just after 8:00, walking directly to the main office. “Hi, I'm Robert Kerwood to see Mrs; .” I pulled the paper from my pocket, “okay; Mrs. Sherman.”“Steffi, your musician is here. Just go with Steffi, Mr. Kerwood, and welcome to Malden High School.” I thanked her and turned to see my guide. Whoa! She was really cute and even hotter.“Wow, are you really Mr. Kerwood? When we saw that harp yesterday all of us figured you'd be like ninety.”“Yup, that's me; eighteen going on ninety.” I grinned as she laughed heartily.“Boy, are the girls going to be surprised. C'mon, Mr. Kerwood.”“I think things will be a lot better if you'll just call me Rob. You make me sound like I AM ninety.”“Okay, Rob,” she said as she led me down the crowded hallway. We were barely twenty feet down the hallway when she asked, “Can I ask you a question?”“I think you just did, but I'll bet I know what you want to ask; why the harp?”“Yeah; that seems like an old person's instrument.”“Let me ask you a question. Why do guys my age do anything?”She laughed. “That's easy; for girls.”“Right, and that's why I play the harp. I had a girlfriend the last couple of years and I could give her an orgasm every time just by playing a glissando.”“What's that; a gli-what?”“Glissando; it's when you glide from one pitch to another up and down the scales. You can do it on a piano and even a violin, but nothing sounds like a harp, plus some ethnic music, like Irish, use a harp extensively. I'll show you once we get to the classroom.”“Gee, I hope I don't have an orgasm; not in class.”“I hope you do. You'll be a harp fan for life.” I chuckled at her embarrassment as we resumed our way down the crowded hallway. We made a left and proceeded to the back of the building. We walked through what I recognized as a soundproof door, even though none of them quite made the grade. Steffi introduced me to her teacher, “Mrs. Sherman, this is Rob Kerwood.” I extended my hand as she did a double take.“You can't be; you're supposed to be from the orchestra.”“Yeah, that's me. I'm not a regular employee, but I've signed on to do four sets of concerts this year. I just happened to be in Stan's office when your request came in so I volunteered; and here I am. Oh, good; there's my harp. Did they tune it when they dropped it off?” She shrugged her shoulders so I pulled up a chair and played a few notes, grimacing almost immediately. I pulled a set of tuning forks from my backpack and set about tuning up. It didn't take long; not much longer than I'd usually spend on my guitar or mandolin. I had just finished tuning when I began to play; nothing special–just a few exercises. Looking right at Steffi I began my first glissando. Over and over the strings my fingers flew. Mrs. Sherman was looking at me so she didn't see Steffi trembling. She shook wildly when she finally came. I shot her a smile when I noticed the wet spot on her crotch. Again, she reddened with embarrassment.The classes were pretty easy and a lot of fun. I introduced myself, telling something about my history and training at Julliard. Then I showed the class my instruments and explained how they fit into certain types of music before playing several songs to demonstrate. Everything went smoothly and according to plan until fourth period when one of the boys, a recent transfer from New York, remembered my high school basketball career. It turned out that I had scored fifty against his brother. I would have enjoyed reliving my basketball days, but that's not why I was here. “I don't want to get off topic so let's get back to the music; the reason I'm here today.” After that period Mrs. Sherman told me it was time for lunch. I was invited to join her in the teacher's cafeteria, but I declined, commenting that I'd feel more comfortable with the kids. In fact, I kind of had a lunch date with Steffi.I met her at the lunch line and we walked together to get our trays. I had a couple of tacos and some chocolate milk, a combination that raised her eyebrows; Steffi had a grilled chicken breast and a salad with water. I paid for both, asking the cashier for a receipt after being sure to tell her I was not a student. She led me to a table with three other girls, all seniors like Steffi.They were all attractive girls with trim athletic bodies, but I thought Steffi was the class of the group–in my opinion anyway. Her shiny dark brown hair was long and pulled back into a ponytail. She was tall, maybe five feet nine or ten with an athletic build; slender with some serious muscle tone that I could see from her sleeveless top and tight shorts. Her tits were on the smallish side, probably a B-cup that matched her body well. Facially, she appeared to have clear olive toned skin and dark brown eyes. Her lips were full; I could imagine them wrapped around my cock.I could tell from the star around her neck that she was Jewish. That didn't bother me; my last girlfriend was Jewish, too.I recognized two of the girls from the morning's classes and soon learned they were all in chorus. Mrs. Sherman was obviously a very popular teacher. I returned to the music class and finished the day. Steffi met me there at the close of school and helped me get my stuff out to the car. “Can I give you a lift home? I'd like to talk with you a bit.”“Sure, sounds great,” she said as she hopped into the passenger seat of my eight year old Subaru.“I'd love to see you again. Are you dating anyone?”“No; I was, but I broke it off last month. He was a juvenile. All he wanted was sex.”“Gee, sounds kind of like me.”She laughed, “No, trust me; nothing like you. You probably know what you're doing. He was selfish; always thinking about himself; never about me.”“Correction; nothing like me. You already have one courtesy of me, don't you?”“Oh God, that was so embarrassing. I'm so glad Mrs. Sherman was looking at you. I was tingling for the entire class. Just thinking about it will probably make me wet.”“I hope so. I'd like to take you out tomorrow night if you're not busy, but I should tell you; I'm not Jewish. I know some parents are really strict about that.”“Not mine; we haven't been to temple in; well, since Rosh Hashanah almost a year ago. I almost never date Jewish guys. Most of them are too nerdy.”We chatted as she gave me directions. It was only a short five-minute drive. She invited me in to meet her mother. We talked for a few minutes, mostly about my singing career. She even asked me to dinner, but I had to decline. I had a load of homework and I had yet to practice for my first concert.“How do they figure out what you'll sing, Rob?” It was Steffi's mother who asked.“They send me a load of songs, maybe fifty or more. I look them over, try singing them, and weed them down to about two dozen or so because the orchestra will always play a bunch of instrumentals. Sometimes I make a few suggestions, too. Then I send the list back and the orchestra practices the ones the director likes. They're real pros so it doesn't take them too long. I'll go in a few days before the concert to practice together. It's important to get the tempo and timing right. By then I'll know the songs by heart. Then all I have to do is step out onto the stage before about a thousand total strangers and perform.” I said good-bye and left, Steffi walking with me to the car. I was surprised when she kissed me. She wrapped her arms around my body and thrust her tongue deeply into my mouth.I responded once I had recovered from the shock, placing my hands firmly onto her ass, pulling her cunt into my crotch. I was sure she could feel my growing erection, but she didn't pull away. In fact, she rubbed her cunt up and down my rod, promising me something very interesting and appealing in the future. Finally, we broke the kiss and I told her I'd see her tomorrow around seven. I'd take her to dinner and then maybe to a movie. That may have been the plan, but it didn't happen; not even close.CHAPTER 2I knocked at seven sharp; the door was answered by her brother. He introduced himself as Jeremy and invited me in. Steffi walked down the stairs about five minutes later. She was a vision in a gold sleeveless top and skintight black Capri's. She wore gold open-toe sandals that exactly matched her top. Her outfit made me think that her parents were probably loaded; I was right. She introduced me to her father, Dr. Neil Goldwasser, an oral surgeon. I learned later that he maintained three very successful offices.I grew up in a single parent family. No house for us; we lived in a second floor walk-up, on top of a liquor store that was open late at night so it was noisy until at least eleven. My father had disappeared before I was even born. My mom worked two and sometimes even three jobs just to get by. I was glad to help once I began to earn money; last year I earned more than three times what my mother made. I wasn't complaining; I had a happier childhood than many of my more well-to-do friends whose parents argued constantly and for whom divorce seemed the norm.Steffi said good-bye to her parents, but before we left I asked what time they wanted her home. “Since you asked, Rob,” her mother began, “let's say one. Have a good time.” In seconds we were en route to my place. I explained that I had told Mrs. Romeo that I was taking a date out to dinner, but she had suggested making a gourmet Italian dinner instead.We chatted for about ten minutes before we ran out of topics. I wasn't uncomfortable with the silence, but apparently she was, for all of a sudden she blurted out something really personal, “I'm not a virgin.”“I'm glad, but how has it worked out for you?”She frowned, “Not as well as I hoped. I already told you about my ex-boyfriend.”I had stopped at a light. Turning to her I gripped her chin lightly. “That will definitely change tonight if it's okay with you. That's a promise.” I leaned over for a quick kiss just before the light changed to green. I pulled into the driveway around 7:45 and led Steffi into the living room. The first thing she noticed was my trophy wall. I had won plenty of singing competitions and a number of plaques and trophies from my basketball career. She was impressed; I wasn't. “My mom told me to take them or she was throwing them out, so; .”“Oh, that would be a shame,” she exclaimed as I led her into the dining room which Carla had set with my best dishes and a set of stemware she had found in a discount store. I had insisted that we drink iced tea. I wasn't about to ruin everything by giving her alcohol, even a simple glass of wine, without her parents' permission. I held her chair as we sat while Joe served the first course, a hot antipasto. He spent a few minutes explaining what each item was. Luckily Steffi and her family were big seafood eaters; at least half of the items were some kind of shellfish.The next course was a delicious soup; pasta fagioli with bacon. The tomato-based soup was covered with a thin slice of Italian bread and melted cheese. We had a relatively small serving in anticipation of several more courses. Following the soup was a wonderful Caesar salad and then the entrée–a delicate veal parmigiana, the veal pounded to almost paper thinness, with sides of angel hair pasta in marinara sauce and sprinkled with more freshly ground parmiagiana cheese. I thanked Joe and Carla, telling them how much I appreciated their staying late. “Please go; I'll take care of the desert and dishes later.”“Oh no; Rob, you leave the dishes in the sink. We will take care of them in the morning, right Joe?” Her husband agreed as they walked out the door.“I didn't think they'd ever go, but we'd have even more company in a restaurant. How's the meal?”“It's just delicious, Rob, but I don't want to overeat. I'll probably fall asleep and I wouldn't want that,” she commented, her eyes twinkling. We finished the dinner and I rinsed the dishes, leaving them in the sink. We agreed to postpone dessert until later.“I have some DVD's from Redbox, or an opera you might like or I'm sure we could find a movie somewhere. I think I have a newspaper in the living room.”“An opera? We've studied a few with Mrs. Sherman–which one?”“'Pagliacci'; if you're any kind of an opera fan I think you'll enjoy this performance.” I set up the DVD player and sat on the couch. Steffi snuggled up next to me, pulling my arm around her. I felt my hand brush against her tit. Steffi didn't even flinch.We were ten minutes into the Prologue when Steffi pulled away, looked at me closely and back to the screen, a 55-inch flat screen LCD set. She repeated several times before asking, “Is that you, Rob? Are you singing the clown's role?”“Yeah, I did that over the summer. It was only a two-week gig; part of a festival in New York. I love the role. Some of the world's best tenors have sung the part.” Steffi snuggled even closer, placing my hand onto her tit this time. I worked my hand under her blouse where I could finger and massage her through her bra. When the Prologue ended she stood and removed her blouse and bra, dropping them onto the table. Her tits were perfectly formed with smallish areolas and very suckable erect nipples that I fingered and rolled. I stood and removed my shirt. We resumed our positions enjoying the skin on skin sensations for the first time.Halfway through Act One I leaned down to kiss and nuzzle her neck. Her response was to turn the TV off. “I'm enjoying your performance, but I think I'd enjoy the live performance even more.” I took her hand and led her upstairs to my bedroom. I literally peeled the Capri's from her body, exposing her lacy thong. Her dark pubic hair was thick and curly, but neatly trimmed and shaved or waxed back from her legs to accommodate a skimpy bikini. I could see the tan lines and they were very appealing.I pulled back the blanket, allowing her to recline on the sheet while I removed my shoes, socks, and slacks. I slipped my boxers to the floor, exposing my thick eight-inch erection and my heavy balls before I joined Steffi on the bed. We lay on our sides as we kissed and explored each other. I especially enjoyed the feel of her firm muscular ass.We were there for maybe five minutes when her hand found my throbbing cock. Her eyes opened when she felt the heat and hardness of it. This was my cue to reach between her legs. I found her hot and wet, her nectar oozing onto her thighs. I dipped my fingers in for a sample and brought them to my mouth. She intercepted me and sucked them instead. “Hmmm; nice.”I returned them deep into her cunt for a bigger, stronger taste. Once in my mouth I grinned and kissed her, “I have to agree; you're delicious. So delicious, in fact; .” I slid around so my mouth was at her cunt before pulling her on top of me. She turned to face me, a big smile on her face, “I've never done this, but I always wanted to try. Should I swallow your; stuff?”“No, I want to cum, but not this way. I want to do it after we make love. Just tease me a little with your mouth and tongue while I take care of you. After you cum you'll still be able to make love; okay?” She nodded her agreement and I went to work on her yumm

Luke 2:8-14Living Bible That night some shepherds were in the fields outside the village, guarding their flocks of sheep.  Suddenly an angel appeared among them, and the landscape shone bright with the glory of the Lord. They were badly frightened, but the angel reassured them. “Don't be afraid!” he said. “I bring you the most joyful news ever announced, and it is for everyone! The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born tonight in Bethlehem! How will you recognize him? You will find a baby wrapped in a blanket,[b] lying in a manger!” Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others-the armies of heaven—praising God: “Glory to God in the highest heaven,” they sang,[c] “and peace on earth for all those pleasing him.” Imagine for a moment that you're a shepherd back in the B.C. days. It's just another cold, lonely, pitch-dark night, sitting by the fire, watching the sheep. Then, suddenly, a blinding light pierces through the blackness, and you're face to face with an angel. He sees the terror in your eyes, knows you think that he has come to kill you because of your sin and low position, so then he declares, “Don't be scared. I have good news of great joy for all people.”  Disbelief overwhelms reality as you think, “Why me? And why here? … Aren't there some important people somewhere to do this? After all, we're just shepherds.” Shepherds, as a stereotype, had a reputation for being low-lives, men of bad reputation. They didn't observe the ceremonial law and were not religious men. They were so known for stealing and dishonesty that their testimony would not be considered reliable enough to testify in court. Think about that… God chose first to announce He was here to these men of bad reputation. He made His birth announcement to the least of these, setting a pattern for His Son's ministry. On that night, that holy night, everything changed and the broken, rejected, lowest of society were the ones that God chose to tell first.  The words of the beautiful song, Oh Holy Night, capture the essence of that encounter. As we finish our time together - let me read you the words for this beautiful song.  O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,  It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth;  Long lay the world in sin and error pining,  'Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.  A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,  For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;  Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!  O night divine! O night when Christ was born. Father, we thank you for this time of joyful waiting. May the hope and joy of this season fill our hearts and make us living signs of your love for a world that hungers for your peace. Immanuel, God with us. Amen

What's your favorite Christmas song? Do you know how it came to be? In this episode of The Drew Mariani Show, Drew dives deep into the enchanting world of Christmas songs with the expert, Ace Collins. Here's a festive summary that'll make you see these timeless tunes in a whole new light: Silent Night's Miraculous Birth - A dramatic tale unfolds around "Silent Night," born from a crisis in a small Austrian church. The song's journey from a humble parish to global fame is nothing short of miraculous. Joseph Moore, a young priest, and his musician friend Franz Gruber unwittingly created a Christmas anthem that stood the test of time. Barbra Streisand's Silent Night - Streisand's rendition of "Silent Night" gets special mention for its exceptional beauty, even surpassing Bing Crosby's version in popularity over the last two decades. Oh Holy Night's Controversial History - This beloved carol has a tumultuous backstory, from its origins in France to being shunned by the Catholic hierarchy for the composer's Jewish heritage. It eventually gained a new life in America, resonating with the abolitionist movement and becoming the first song to be broadcast over the radio. Drew's conversation with Ace Collins reveals the rich and often unexpected histories behind these cherished Christmas songs, offering a fresh perspective on the music that fills our hearts each holiday season.

As narrator of the evening, McDonough reflects on the role that family, heritage and traditions play at this time of year. With music and musings combined, and unique Irish cultural nods, the result is a deeply personal and uplifting program that inspires hope and welcomes the spirit of the holiday season.

Adding beauty back into the folds and corners of our everchanging world. Music and story....

Today we hear the personal journey of a dear friend of mine, John Arthur Greene, an actor, singer and songwriter. John reflects on the impact that the pause during the pandemic's lockdown had on his career and mindset. John walked away from the entertainment industry after 26 years, performing on Broadway for 8 shows a week, and more. He talks about how difficult his career has been on his body, not always in a healthy way. John and I crossed paths during my time intensively treating Broadway performers so we were able to reflect on what health meant to him years ago compared to how he feels about it now. He discusses the type of physical and mental regiment that he endured to maintain excellent physique and mindset and succeed in the industry. For John, times of prayer, meditation, and stillness with God are the most important aspects of his daily practice now. John's notable work:He was most recently seen as Walker Jerome the Blouse Man in the East Coast Premier of A Walk On The Moon at the pre-Broadway house George St. Playhouse. Some of his other credits include: Stand-By for 5 Principle Characters, the Fight Captain & Dance Captain in the revival of Stephan Sondheim's Company (Broadway).
