       I remember when I first went to start Peace to Live By. I recorded nine episodes over the summer. Of course, I originally recorded the first just to see if I was any good. And after listening to that, I decided I was good. So, anyway, after recording nine episodes, I was in contact with the radio station to get on the air. This was, I want to say, August. I waited over three months and things weren’t going anywhere. At that point, I went to prayer with God and said, “Well, God, I’m going to give it a couple more weeks. And if things don’t work out, I’ll assume this path just isn’t your will and move on.” Within less than a week after praying that prayer, the show had been green-lighted for air and I was sending a script to Wayne Shepherd for the open and close of the program. You see what happened here? I had a desire for the show to get on the air. It was when I gave up that desire, when I decided I was okay if the show didn’t happen, that’s when it was allowed for the show to actually happen.
