Christmas Stories Part 2 Dec 19, 2020

Show notes

On today's show, Richard and Linda talk about how all of the classic Christmas stories are about giving and sacrifice. People old and young feel the Christmas Spirit as they give, not as they get. Then the Eyres tell us some personal Christmas Stories about giving, and challenge us all to help our children, for at least part of Christmas, to shift their attention from getting to giving.

Eyres on the Road: Election Stories Part 2 Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

The Eyres didn't get through all the "election stories" they wanted to tell last week, so they continue with Part Two on today's podcast, and this week's stories include Richard's work with President Reagan and his own run for Governor. The thread that runs through all of the stories is the importance of the family as the basic unit of our society, our culture and our economy; and the importance of being recognized as such by all larger political institutions.

Eyres on the Road: Election Stories Nov 06, 2020

Show notes

As the U.S. waits for final election results, Richard and Linda tell some personal "election stories" from earlier times and comment on how important it is that all politics and all government recognizes that the FAMILY is the basic unit of society, of culture, of religion, and of our economy. The Eyre's interest in politics goes back to before they were married, and is interlaced with their professional lives over the decades. The election stories the tell today all relate back to family, and include everything from presidential campaigns to local elections. And since they ran out of time today, they will continue with more "election stories" next podcast.

Prayer Stories Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

On today's show, the Eyres return to their "stories" theme and talk about prayer stories, and how parents often pray in a very special and powerful way, acknowledging the true Heavenly Parent and asking that parent to help in their own "beginning parenthood." Richard and Linda tell their own stories of intense prayers in times of family crisis, and challenge all of us to make this pandemic-time an improved prayer-time, even to the point of keeping a gratitude journal and an "ask journal" keeping track of what we thank God for and what we ask for, and opening our minds to answers that we don't expect.

Extended Families in the Pandemic Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

How will we all get together for the Holidays? What would a virtual Thanksgiving Dinner be like, or a Zoom Christmas. Many of us will find out this year. The Eyres, just back from London and the birth of their twin grandchildren, talk on today's show about families in Covid Time, and the joys and trials of staying close mentally and spiritually when you can't be close physically.

Summer Stories Oct 10, 2020

Show notes

Continuing with the "stories" theme of the last few weeks, the Eyres tell us the stories of some of the wild and unusual things they have done with their children during summer vacations. Mostly with the frequent flier miles compiled from their global speaking engagements, Richard and Linda were able to take their kids to live in different cultures, and often in third world situations, in an effort to build perspective, empathy and tolerance. They talk about summers in Japan, in Romania, in Mexico, in Wales, and building a log cabin in the Oregon wilderness. Still in London, awaiting the birth of grand-twins, they also talk about earlier family time in England.
