Host Bob Lepine, Amy Julia Becker, me, and host Dennis Rainey on FamilyLife Today
The FamilyLife ministry headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas
Yesterday I had the very cool opportunity to tape two shows for FamilyLife Today. This show is one that I have listened to so many times, and is on stations all over the country. It’s really such an honor to be asked, and I was thrilled to be on the program.
We taped two shows which will air as a part one and part two. On the program with me was Amy Julia Becker, a writer for many magazines including The New York Times, ChristianityToday, and Parents.com. She also has two books and her daughter has Down Syndrome. The focus of the programs was raising special needs children and how that affected and informed our faith. The shows will air sometime in the spring, and I will be sure to let you all know when.
I have to say, every single person I met at FamilyLife was so gracious. What a wonderful place to spend some time. We had lunch with several of the staffers and the hosts before the taping, and afterward, Dennis Rainey took us to see a new project his wife is working on – Christmas ornaments of the names of God. I loved that concept! After that, we headed back to the hotel to drop Amy Julia off since she was leaving this morning, and then they took me back to the airport.
It was great to get home last night! I’ve been on the road a ton this fall, and I am missing my family so much! I have one more trip this weekend, and then, while we’ll still be traveling, they will be with me, and that makes all the difference.
