Readings for October 28 through November 25

I am moving. Sorry to say that I will be “off the air” for the next four weeks. In the last 6 months we have sold our condo and started to build a new house. Well the new house is now complete and we get to move again, the second time in six months. This involves a bunch of packing boxes, moving boxes, unpacking even more boxes and getting everything we own out of two storage units and moved into the new house. Needless to say I won’t have a recording space until everything is into the house and most of it unpacked. So for now I have listed the readings for the next four weeks for your reading pleasure. The plan is to be back on the air with the first week of Advent December 2.

May God Bless

Thank you,

Tom
