This episode includes a Bible story about a woman from Samaria who goes to the well during the middle of the day, when it's too hot for everyone else.  Jesus meets her there.  Also a short history lesson on why the United State now neither owns nor controls the Panama Canal. And, finally, the end of everything I know about making (mostly) American Coffee.

57 Weeks pOdcast -- Episode Number 10 -- The Apple Dumpling Episode

This week in History, Columbus set sail for Asia.  Also, "Wild Bill Hickok" was murdered with a poker hand of Aces and Eights. Listen to the  song in the Bible about making a "joyful noise" to God.  But the main topic is "Apple Dumplings."  I'll tell you how to bake them, and reflect on the person who taught me, mid 20th Century.

57Weeks pOdcast -- Episode No. 009 -- Out from the deep freeze, this episode on the history of personal computing was originally recored in 2010.

This is a wild episode recorded by Tom Truex in 2010.  I'm assuming you too consider a short history of personal computing.  That's it this episode.  No Bible comments, book reviews, movie reviews or history lesson for this episode only.

Back on schedule with the regular stuff next week.

57Weeks pOdcast - Episode No. 007 - Handling disputes, with some help from a 15th century monk.

This week in History.  In the USA, Independence Day falls on the 4th of July again this year.  Why did the colonists get involved in an insurrection (I thought that was a bad word)??

This week in the Bible.  A short discussion of the section in the Bible that calls Jesus Christ, the "Word."  And why it is impossible to separate God from His Word.

The main topic is about handling dispute.  We consult a 15th century monk named Thomas à Kempis.

57Weeks pOdcast - Episode #006

Part 2 of the Hocus-Pocus episode.  The last episode got so ridiculously long that we cut it in half and renamed the second half as Episode number six.  Also a testimonial to a great pastor and teacher, the late Reverend Jean U. Guerry.

Main topic:  Thoughts on "Retirement" on the very day I retired as a High School History Teacher.  Also a book review of Eichmann Before Jerusalem; and a short discussion of the day Jesus' apostles gave a man the healing he needed rather than the money he asked for.

57Weeks pOdcast - Episode #003 - The religion of atheism; and is the Bible real?

Finally a podcast motto, presented by the robot co-hosts of the podcast.  Also, the origin of the phrase, "the truth will set you free;" Atheism is a religion; and is the Bible Real?  Really.
