Here is another interesting TED talk given by world-renown Billy Graham:

It is a great talk about how technology might be marvelous, but there are internal evils in the hearts of man that even science and technology cannot seem to solve. I highly recommend watching this video.
Here is the talk I referenced on the last show (the weekend before Thanksgiving):

On this week’s show we featured two songs by the local Julia Marie Band from Madrid, NY. “Lone Hour” and “Colors Fade” were the two tracks we featured.
The Julia Marie Band includes a great, very comfortable blend of powerful female lead vocals, piano, electric guitar, and some classical guitar that will knock your socks off! Easy listening by people of a wide range of tastes, but not tame in the least, this band has music that will draw in any listener with its great instrument blend and powerful lyrics. Rock meets lounge meets classical guitar. Not your average singer/songwriter feel, and they have a sound that is well-seasoned and obviously very experienced. An album-at-once band that you won’t get tired of listening to after a couple tracks.
Songs are freely available on their website for preview or download, but donations are encouraged and the option to purchase a physical CD is also available. For these songs and more, please check out the Julia Marie Band website at: http://juliamarieband.com
Today I read from Matthew, Chapter 6. Here is an excerpt that I recommend:
25″Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?
28″And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
–New International Version
During today’s show I shared a reading from Psalm 32. Afterward, I talked about how bad my vision while wearing glasses is due to my outdated glasses prescription.
Listen: 
Psalm 32 (NIV)
Of David. A maskil.1 Blessed is he
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.2 Blessed is the man
whose sin the LORD does not count against him
and in whose spirit is no deceit.3 When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.4 For day and night
your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the LORD “–
and you forgave
the guilt of my sin.6 Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you
while you may be found;
surely when the mighty waters rise,
they will not reach him.7 You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you.9 Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.10 Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the LORD’s unfailing love
surrounds the man who trusts in him.11 Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
Some of you may have listened to our show yesterday and heard our interview with Michael Warren from Rescue Rochester. If you did, you know that the interview was great and Michael did an awesome job of presenting an overview of the ministry as well as a look at some of the key issues that pro-life ministries face. If you didn’t catch our show, we’ve recorded the interview and posted it here so you can hear what Michael had to say regarding the value of every life as looked at from a biblical perspective.
As I mentioned, Michael is from Rescue Rochester, a ministry devoted to counseling women in crisis pregnancies. To find out more about their ministry, visit their website.

WE’RE BACK!
Well, not quite. But we will be back this Sunday, January 13, 2007 following our winter break. Tune in for some awesome music, prizes, and a lot of fun!
Imperial occupation of the African continent by multiple outside nations throughout history naturally led to territorial disputes and its eventual division into many countries. The boundaries of these African countries resulted from the claims and disputes between outside nations and did not reflect the historical boundaries between native tribes and clans in Africa. As a result, countries–and, eventually, representative governments–were formed that often contain within them several competing tribes and interests. Kenya, for example, is home to multiple competing groups.
Kenya’s recent presidential election on December 27, 2007 sparked a very large uprising. Kenya’s President Kibaki from the Party of National Unity was running for re-election against Raila Odinga from the main opposition party, the Orange Democratic Movement, when a split occurred in the Orange Democratic Movement party. The split resulted in a crucial 8% of votes being lost by the Orange Democratic Movement and gained by the newly-formed Orange Democratic Movement-Kenya and its candidate Kalonzo Musyoka. Then, the race tightened between Kibaki and Odinga.
As vote results started coming in, Odinga grew from having a slight to a substantial lead; as Kenya’s electoral commission continued to count votes, however, Kibaki overtook his opponent substantially. Odinga then declared himself the “people’s president” and called for a recount of the votes and for the resignation of President Kibaki. The results of the election led to many violent protests, leaving 486 people dead, 250,000 people finding refuge in neighboring Uganda, one former Olympic athlete dead during a protest, and one politician hacked to death. The single largest and one of the worst acts of violence during the protests occurred at a church, where people in the church (mainly members of Kibaki’s clan) seeking shelter from the violence were trapped inside as the church was set on fire, resulting in 35 of the 200 people who were in the church burning to death.
As of January 7, 2007, Odinga has called off the planned protests and a mediator from the U.S. is aiding negotiations, but tension still remains and the situation is still very critical in Kenya. Attacking people who are hiding from violence is an act of hatred, not simply a disagreement, and the scale of the violence and civil unrest indicates Kenya’s people are in trouble and have been trouble for quite some time. Please pray for Kenya and keep the people of Kenya in your thoughts.
Please additionally pray for the United States, as our current events are indifferent from some of Kenya’s, and civil unrest easily gives birth to hatred. Please take great care to not hate those who disagree with you or even those who hate you, because it is hatred that can threaten the very freedoms that make up the fabric of our nation; instead, try to welcome the discussion of differences of opinion, or simply avoid things that offend you too much. This is especially important during the election season and these politically charged times.
