•••Radio Free Exhaustion I have no idea what I just said. My brain is empty. The producer came on the phone afterward and entheusiastically congratulated me on a great interview. I looked at my wife and a neighbor who were listening to the show streaming live over Starband while I was upstairs in my study, pacing back and forth trying to keep thoughts in order and mouth from fumbling excessively. They were smiling warmly, as if I'd not managed to make an even greater idiot out of myself during the last hour. "It was great. Well done. Good job." They're biased, I remind myself. Tomorrow, then, the audio should be available on the Issues, Etc. web site. Until then, I'm left to wonder in an utter exhausted daze whether I managed to say anything worthwhile.   5:50:07 PM   googleit 89     itemlink->

•••T-Minus 60 Minutes And Counting... Well, the radio station called and let me know they've bumped up my interview 30 minutes, so in less than an hour I make my live streaming radio debut. Nervous, Preacherman? Uh, yeah. Just a little. Fortunately, most of my friends are Mac people with an aversion to the somewhat buggy but requisite Windows Media Player. I reckon I'll have to look at it just like any other sermon or presentation: O Lord, open Thou my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise...Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me O Lord." Gotta love those versicles from Vespers. And gotta relax.   3:10:37 PM   googleit 88     itemlink->
