This Job Never Ceases To Amaze Me


Earlier this month I went to Ann Arbor radio station, WAAM TALK 1600 and was interviewed for the "Bridges to People" Sunday, February 12, 2012 morning show at 7:30 am. I’ve been briefly interviewed on radio before by phone, but this was my first time in a radio station. “Bridges to People" is a weekly radio program which discusses the social issues of our day while attempting to bring sound resolutions to those problems. It is hosted by Dr. Sean O'Neal, Lead Pastor of Stewart Road Christian Ministries Center, in Monroe.

It actually was a pleasant but meaningful conversation that seemed to go by pretty quick. I guess I was enjoying the conversation.

Funny thing is I ended up last Sunday morning going out to the car, starting it up, and sitting with the car running and a mug of coffee to listen to the car radio and hear how it sounded. I think that a couple of voices were heard (albeit at 7:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning) offering a brief alternative view to those “others” that seem so prevalent on radio and other media these days.
