Dave,
You did great! You sounded fine. I feel like I know you better now. I loved Francis Schaffer's works. I read them all. Rich and I even visited the L'Abri in Rochester MN and emailed Larry and Nancy Snyder for a while.
For those of you who missed Dave on http://www.kvss.com you can hear him on the Spirit Morning Show archives which should be downloadable in a day or two.
Congrats, Dave...our very own radio star 
now check out Dave's blog http://socrates58.blogspot.com/
forgive my slowness in adding your blog to the list on mine, but it's there now.

Hi Susie,
You're very sweet. 
Dunno about "star" (note what people think of apologetic "stardom" in the Scott Hahn thread!!), but thanks for the encouragement and "plug", and I'm very glad you liked it! I felt that I was a bit more "natural" than usual: my actual personality and manner when I talk about this stuff. Usually on the radio I am deliberately subdued and "laid back," because I don't want to come off sounding like a raving zealot (I'm very concerned about conveying a positive image of apologists and apologetics). There is a balance between zeal and a calm, easy-going, "non-threatening" approach that I try to achieve. But I think that show pretty much captured the way I am if you were at my house in one of my group discussions.
That was "me"! People often have a very different impression of me than they get from my writings, because I am pretty formal and "logical" in how I write, and often my personality is a bit subdued there, so that folks think I am like some kind of very strict, daunting "headmaster" or something.
One has to meet or at least hear a person, I think, to really get the full idea of what they are like.
I had intended to add your blog to my list of links too. This post reminded me, and so I have now added it. Thanks for your link!
We are off in about 5 hours, to the Detroit Institute of Arts, for our Valentine's Day date. I look forward to it. It's one of the best art museums in the country.

Have a great time at the DIA. My hubby and I and our oldest son went to Kimbell Art Museum Ft. Worth over Christmas. It was "Early Christian Art" and it was exquisite! I lived in MI when I was a wee lass. For 2 years of my young life. Back in the old days...when there was a Wortsmith AFB. Oscoda was where we lived. I loved it up there. Beautiful country! We went down the Au Sable River a lot with my dad, fishing, deer hunting. I was in Detroit only once as a girl...we went to a Tigers game and to the zoo. Good memories.
Kris and Bruce work very hard on the Spirit Morning show, to broadcast quality interviews and Kris has her nose in about 5 books a week. She really does her homework! I know Kris is a fan, too. KVSS is really the premier station in Catholic radio. We just had our 9th anniverary last month. I hope you'll get to be a regular like Mike Aquilina!
You rock, Dave.

Waaah! I didn't get up early enough to listen! I'll catch it in the archives.
Since y'all are talking about Michigan, my hubby and I lived in Lansing and Holt for the 3 years (1988-1991) we were in the state (holding up palm and pointing to lower center). Moved here to Georgia after that. It was a job transfer that brought us from where we met in Louisiana to Michigan, and then a new job offer that brought us here. I went near Detroit, but never in it. We got to go to the Tulip Festival while we lived there, and hubby and I both took classes at MSU. I was shocked, shocked, I say, to find out that the college didn't close on snow-blizzardy days! Yeah, I was such a southern weenie.

Wow, Dave! I'm listening to your interview right now and you mentioned several Scriptures that I just recently went back over. I was reading in Romans 2 & 3, then felt like going over to James to revisit the faith/works verses, and then we've been reading in Matthew as a family and just last night covered the verses about the separating of the sheep and the goats! All of the Scriptures mentioned on your interview! In fact, I gave a little sermonette to the family over those verses. Couldn't help myself, I was so excited! lol That chapter in James is all about faith being an action word, basically. Obeying the royal law (love your neighbor as yourself) seemed to be the focus. A real stinging rebuke for staunch Calvinists, I'd say.
I need to get your book mentioned on the show!

My daughter is a Cajun GRITS (Girl Raised In The South) who left home at 19 and has lived in Colorado, Germany, Maryland, Bossier City (Louisiana), and now in Chicago. She's actually grown to like the snow.
I haven't disowned her.
Yet.
She is allowed to be a Cubs fan, but not permitted to root for da Bears. Even though that would be preferable to becoming a Falcons fan. That would surely get her disowned.

Hey, I like snow! I just don't like trudging 20 minutes through a blizzard after driving half an hour in it. I like it covering everything outside while I sit inside next to a roaring fire. I was used to the world coming to a crashing halt when it snowed just a little. In Michigan, they showed no mercy!

I had intended to add your blog to my list of links too. This post reminded me, and so I have now added it. Thanks for your link!
Dear Dave,
You're very kind. I am not worthy to be named among these major league heavy hitters, but I'm very honored and humbled that you've added my blog to your list. Thank you very much! And I'm right by my friend, Russ Rentler, (aka: Tiber Jumper) too! TJ's the greatest! He and I have been corresponding for almost 2 years now, and I consider him to be a dear friend and brother in Christ. He and I even collaborated on a parody together which he put to a familiar tune to many ears. Home on the Range. The song we wrote was Rome Sweet Home. It was so much fun. He sent it to me last spring when I'd sent him a few lyrics. I gave a copy to Scott and Kimberly and Mike Aquilina on our pilgrimage to Rome last May. I think they got a kick out of it.
Again, I am very touched by your generosity, Dave, and will do my best to live up to the quality of those other excellent blogs. I'm just a "Amateur Catholic" blogger with a lot of zeal for the Faith and a deep love and deeper gratitude for the Catholic Church. She [Holy Mother Church] truly 'saved my life' because 3.5 years ago, I have no idea where I would have ended up if it had not been for my hubby's desire to return to the "faith of his youth" the CC. I was in a 'funk' of sorts, bored and restless in our "interdenominational faith community" that was already starting to go through some turmoil. It is going through big time changes now, and had we still been involved there, this might have been the "split of splits" to make me question even being a Christian anymore. I doubt I'd have 'turned my back' entirely on Christianity, but I hate to think where I was starting to meander. It was a familiar old pattern that I knew from 26 years in the Evanglical fray.
This is truly an honor and it means a great deal to me. Thank you and God bless and keep you!
Susie
