Recorded May 11, 2008. In honor of Mother’s Day, we share things that made our moms special to us. Our mothers gave sacrificially, prepared for the future, made us laugh, endured our intense dislike, and above all loved us. Richard reminds us that honoring our mothers and fathers pleases God. All of us owe a great debt to our moms.

i consider this an extra special podcast episode. i’ve listened to everyone’s comments regarding their mothers over 100 times while editing this episode. All i can say is wow, what a wonderful tribute to our mothers. All of us have good reason to thank God each day for the love our moms gave us during our lifetime.

By the way, this is episode five of our podcast series. This represents a milestone in the podcasting world. Most new podcasts never last beyond five episodes. i understand why. Producing each episode requires a tremendous amount of work. Many new podcasters lose interest in producing a regular show around the third or fourth episode.

Lord willing, i still plan on producing a new episode of “From Richard’s Heart” about every two weeks. i would love to do a weekly podcast, but so far i haven’t figured out how to record Richard during the weeks i can’t be in church. i also don’t know where i would find the time to edit the recordings. Nevertheless, i am praying for a way to record episodes during the weeks i can’t be in church.

For those of you who are inclined to pray, pray for Richard’s health. Pray also that Richard and i remain open to appropriate material for this podcast series. Finally, pray for God’s blessing as we continue to produce this podcast over the summer months.
