Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:16:00 GMT

Hey All,

Episode 50 is coming in the next few days. Tanya and I had a long week last week with several early days to get some errands run. We also went on an awesome marriage retreat over the weekend.

That is why we didn't get a chance to record yet. Long week, awesome weekend. Talk to you soon!

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 22:57:00 GMT

In this episode, Tanya and I discuss our continuing hunt for the perfect home. We also discuss a great feature animated film called the Thief and the Cobbler, and why is is great, and why it stinks (depending on the version). We talk about the food crisis in Haiti, pregnant men and Tanya's baby conflicts.

LOF#47 - Beer and Defending the Faith

Tue, 23 Oct 2007 13:35:00 GMT

Hey All,

Sorry about the Skypecast being an hour earlier than we scheduled it. This was through no fault of our own but, had something to do with the way Skype translated the date.

Anyway, this week, bad beer, teething babies and defending our Catholic faith. That and more!

Missing Show

Tue, 2 Oct 2007 01:54:00 GMT

Hey All,

Just a short blurb to let you know what is going on. We're sorry we don't have a full show for this week but, we'll do everything in our power to get one out next week.

Special thanks to Josh of the Perseverance Podcast and Jon and Amber from the Monster Cookies podcast for their plugs for our show. We appreciate it.

Thanks for your patience. Tanya and I are having quite a time getting moved in. Please pray for us, it has been a long, frustrating road for both of us.

God Bless,

No Show this Week

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 17:47:00 GMT

Hey All,

There will be no Life on Fire this week as we are in the thick of moving and it does not provide for a stable podcasting environment. Half of our gear is in the new place, half in the old.

Hopefully by next week, everything will be set up and ready. We still haven't figured out how to use the mixer with the computer as of yet.

Pray for us, moving is hard and stressful.

God Bless,
Chris

Last week, I finally made a facebook account and was promptly bitten by a zombie....I decided not to give up my brain and mindlessly bite others and instead made a Life on Fire group.

LOF#45 - WHY!?

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 13:53:00 GMT

Hey Everyone,

Wow, what a turnout on this week's Skypecast! We had over 100 people jumping in and out at some point, and ended up having a complete side conversation as our main show topic!

This week, we revisit etiquette and opera singers. We discuss why we believe in God and the Catholic homestead!

Special thanks to all of our participants this week. We learned a lot from this show and will be making a few changes to the way we run our Skypecasts in the future. We didn't really want a 1 on 1 format but, it turned out good.

Sorry episode 44b came out last night. As it turns out, our feed got messed up when we posted the Skypecast image links. Javascript in RSS = BAD!

That's all for this week. We'll probably do a show next week as Tanya and I are going to have a crazy weekend planned for the weekend of the 23rd.

God Bless,
Chris

LOF Issues Video

A video regarding the issues we've experienced with the past episode of LOF.

Dead Recording

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 00:31:00 GMT

Hey Everyone,

Well, things did not go as planned for last night's recording. First of all, Skypecasts were down, making it impossible for us to get our first one off the ground. Then, Allie and other regular participants didn't show up, except for Bob, who got in at the end of the recording.

But, that isn't the worst of it. Today I went to edit the show, and the file wouldn't transfer from the minidisc recorder to my computer. I tried at least 2 or 3 times, if not 4, with no success. So the recording was a complete failure.

I just hope and pray there is nothing wrong with the Minidisc recorder. If there is, Tanya and I are pretty much dead in the water. I mean, I could use my big machine to record directly with Audacity, the only problem being that it has 5 or 6 fans and is REALLY loud.

We will be recording a show next week, as the week after is going to be Labor Day weekend. I will schedule another Skypecast fro 8-10PM on next Sunday evening and we'll see what comes of it.

Sorry, we did produce a show, but have no way of putting it out there for you.

God Bless,
Chris

God and Science

Tue, 14 Aug 2007 02:37:00 GMT

Hey All,

After my meteor shower video I got several comments regarding God, the Bible and science. Some people wondered how I could ignore the science behind things and claim they had anything to do with God.

Well, this is my response....enjoy.

LOF#43 - Vaccination Against Conception

Mon, 6 Aug 2007 13:01:00 GMT

Hey All,

After last week's Ventcast we have picked a life article to discuss. This week's article came from the May-June 2007 Celebrate Life Magazine. This week we discuss Planned Parenthood's true roots and plans, as well as their possible plans for our futures. Are we paranoid or is this really possible?

LOF#42 - The Ventcast

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 14:44:00 GMT

Hey Everyone,

Despite technical difficulties and almost 2 hours of post-production Life on Fire episode #42 is here!

This week, living conditions, job woes, divorce and much much more to vent.

E-mail Mary: machenm@gmail.com

Sorry this episode was so long but, we all had a lot to get off our chests. Please try to hunt down our myspace pages if you can. Tanya's is marygirl84 and mine is jesusgeek83. I'm not sure what Mary's is and I believe Allie's is dazzyl927.

Hopefully we will return to our regularly scheduled format for our next show! Please pray for all of us and our different situations...we need it!

God Bless,
Chris

We're Saved!

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:10:00 GMT

Hello Again,

After many hours of work, I finally got the computer back into a useable state late last night. It took no shorter than 3 hours of work to get that far.

Windows had to be fully reinstalled, but, that couldn't be done until the DVD RW was replaced. The regular DVD Rom in the computer STILL didn't work, but, thank God for an old 40x CD-ROM from a computer lying in Tanya's basement here. If it hadn't been for that, the computer would still be dead.

After re-installing Windows, there was the simple matter of sorting through the hundreds of CD's I have and finding the drivers for my hardware. Now, that wasn't really as bad as I make it out to be, simply because I used my laptop to find and download the ones I couldn't find, putting them on my portable hard drive and moving them over to the other computer.

So then the computer reboots, so it can recognize the hardware. Low and behold, I get a special message from Microsoft. "We have detected that you have made significant changes to your hardware, please call us to re-activate Windows". "Oh boy", I thought. Luckily it was all automated and it only took about 6 minutes to get through. I didn't know that replacing the hard drive was a "significant change". Not to mention the nearly 96 Windows Updates needed to patch my system, and a BIOS upgrade.

Anyway, so that is everything I have gone through. I still don't have iTunes downloaded yet and am unsure if it will erase everything off of my iPod. Then, all of my video editing software still needs to be replaced, but, the copies I had originally bought, were unknowingly illegal so, I won't be putting them back on the computer. JOY!

I will edit as much of the show as I can today. I hope that I can get it done by this afternoon but, it may be longer. I really am sorry about all this and apologize, but, as you can see, it took a lot of time to get this thing working again.

God Bless,
Chris

Further Delay

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 22:12:00 GMT

Hey All,

My computer is on only 1 leg at this point in time. I am working to restore it but am having a lot of difficulty. This may require a full Windows restore and my DVD Burner seems to be malfunctioning and not reading my Windows XP CD. I hope that the other DVD Rom, which didn't work so it has been unplugged, can save me here. If not, I am out of luck,

Also, what was left of my RAID setup, a lone SATA hard drive, has now died as well.

I am currently in the process of backing up all the files that need to be saved. Then I will probably spend a good part of the evening attempting to restore the thing. So, this week's show may be delayed for another day or two.

It is bad enough having to edit a super long episode, it is another to have to re-build your computer to do it!

God Bless,
Chris

New Episode Soon...

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 18:38:00 GMT

Hey All,

Tanya, Allie, Mary and myself gathered together via skype last night and recorded a show. It is very long and will take a LONG time to edit. Will be up soon though.

God Bless,
Chris

LOF#41 - Money

Mon, 2 Jul 2007 20:39:00 GMT

Hey Everyone,

Welcome to an extended almost hour-long episode of the Life on Fire podcast. This week, doctors vote for easier abortions in the UK, the European Union threatens to cut funding to Nicaragua because of their ban on abortion, and the true heart of planned parenthood....MONEY!

We also get a call from "Bob". Note: This is not Bob M. but, a different, strange Bob...yet somehow he sounds....familiar.

No show last week or this week

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 00:39:00 GMT

Hey all,

Just to explain the absence. We were planning a show last week but, things got too busy to actually get down to record. Also, Chris' family is having some problems right now, so your prayers would be appreciated.

Also, today is Chris and Tanya's one year wedding anniversary! So you can understand them not podcasting this week.

We'll return next week with all the hard-hitting, pro-life stories you can handle!

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

LOF#40 - More Pill Problems

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 12:55:00 GMT

We also had a brief visit from our long time friend and listener Bob.

LOF#39 - Politics, Politics, Politics

Tue, 29 May 2007 13:32:00 GMT

Hey All,

It is finally here, our first ever skype-based recording. It didn't come out half-bad either. You may notice some echos as a result of skype and Tanya and I were whispering a bit at some points because at the time, the show was running late, which isn't reflected in this final rendering.

Anyway, this week, politics and excommunication, what's the big deal? Also the abortion industry covers up yet another statutory rape case.

All of the storied featured this week come from lifenews.com

If you wish to submit a story for us to cover please submit it using del.icio.us and tag it with LOFideas . This will allow us to share our story ideas with everyone who could be involved with the show. Our del.icio.us page is http://del.icio.us/lifeonfirepodcast and we will remove stories as we use them or if we feel we can't use them.

That's it for this week.

New show coming...

Tue, 29 May 2007 03:40:00 GMT

Hey all,

Tanya, Allie and Chris got together this evening and recorded the first ever LOF episode involving Skype. It seemed to go well and it will be edited and uploaded sometime tomorrow morning.

Happy Memorial Day!

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

No Show

Mon, 21 May 2007 00:20:00 GMT

Sorry, wrote this post earlier but, it didn't go through. We decided not to record tonight due to illness, exhaustion and other reasons as well. However, we will be producing a show next weekend. We really want to get this skype thing going and we apologize for not recording tonight.

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

The Plague

Sat, 19 May 2007 19:06:00 GMT

Hey All,

Chris is feeling sick this weekend. However, he wants to try and persevere and still record the podcast tomorrow evening. It will all depend on if his voice holds out...

We regret to inform you that a Ustream will not be possible for this week's show due to technical issues. Once we get the webcam (Tuesday or Wednesday) we'll be able to for future shows.

Basically, we need the mic on the laptop for skype as the laptop does not have a line-in jack. We considered running the signal into the mic-in but, after doing research found this would be a very bad idea. If anyone had any ideas on how to get a line in signal into the laptop without a line-in plug on it, please let us know.

Lastly, we are still waiting on some people's skype names. Again, if you want to join us this week, we need to have your name so we can add you to our list, otherwise you won't be able to be included. Our e-mail is lifeonfirepodcast@gmail.com and please respond soon, as we are going to try recording at 8PM EST.

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

PS If Chris cannot record we'll post it here before the scheduled recording time, so be sure to check here before logging on to skype.

Good News, Bad News

Tue, 15 May 2007 11:59:00 GMT

Hey All,

The good news is, we just ordered the webcam for our ustream and got a good deal too. The bad news is, it will take 5-7 days to get here.

So here's the deal. We will TRY to run ustream and skype on the same laptop and test the sound quality before recording. If it seems OK we will go with it for this one show, however, if it doesn't work well or it affects the audio recording in a negative way, we're not going to do it.

So there is a possibility the ustream feed won't be up for this episode. We'll see what happens.

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

LOF Ustream Network

Fri, 11 May 2007 12:25:00 GMT

Hey everyone,

We just set up our new ustream account and will be transmitting live when we record our podcasts. In addition to this, we'll see if some of the people we will record with via skype also have ustream and add their feeds to the site as well, thus creating the Life on Fire Ustream Network.

Speaking of skype, we already have a couple potential guests. Again, if you are interested in skyping with us, please e-mail us at lifeonfirepodcast@gmail.com and give us your skype name so we can add you to our list. We will send out an e-mail prior to weekends we'll record on with the time and date of the recording.

Another note: There will be no Life on Fire recorded this week because Sunday is Mother's Day and is also the day for Confirmation rehearsal at our home parish. Seeing as we are involved with the Confirmation program we should probably be there...

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

LOF#38 - Plan B

Mon, 7 May 2007 14:31:00 GMT

If you are interested in joining us for a skype recording, please e-mail us your skype name so we can add you to our friends list.

We probably won't be recording next week as it is mother's day and also Chris's sister's birthday. But, we'll be back the week after next.

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

lost.....

Thu, 3 May 2007 21:07:00 GMT

Hey All,

We're trying to get together with our friend Allie this weekend to record a new episode. We're finally getting used to this whole "working" thing.

Also, we have yet another new audio feedback number which I will post shortly before/after the new show is up.

Lastly, we're considering starting to use skype for some interview calls and we'll talk more about that when we get the show up.

Sorry for the long time hiatus but, we'll be back, don't worry.

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

Delays Again

Mon, 9 Apr 2007 22:07:00 GMT

Hey Everyone,

Happy Birthday to our good friend Allie, who joined us again for this episode.

This week we discussed if life begins at conception or later in pregnancy, what makes a true marriage and adoption too.

We also covered the improvements on our other site rosarycaching.com and Allie's future blogging pans.

Other sites mentioned or other links:

Hey Everyone,

We finally got to re-record our episode with Allie, and Chris stayed up late editing it just for YOU!

There won't be much for show notes.

Let's see, we talked about Lent, Confirmation group, and HEY, we had our first audio feedback since our return to the netwaves! We also discussed Operation Rice Bowl and Total Consecration.

Technical Difficulties

Mon, 12 Mar 2007 18:01:00 GMT

Last night, Tanya and I recorded an episode of the podcast with our friend Allie at her house. We used a different recording setup which used my not-so-good laptop as the recording media. Unfortunately, this ended up resulting in a recording we could not use. There were a lot of pops and hisses that just couldn't be removed.

We are going to try and get together with Allie again tonight in our regular studio to re-record.

Also, some minor website changes:

I added some links to The Levelator and Audacity in the left-hand column, under the heading "Podcast Editing" so that if you want to start podcasting, you know what kind of software we use.

Also, I changed Allie's e-mail from being Catholic Life on Campus to just E-mail Allie.

I am also going to try and simplify some other things as well.

So we hope that we'll have an episode for you this evening and we are really sorry for this inconvenience. We'll have a show soon though.

God Bless,
Chris

Why no episode yet?

Wed, 7 Mar 2007 03:25:00 GMT

Hey All,

I know what you're saying. "They just started podcasting again, they aren't going to throw in the towel again, are they?"

No, we're not. However, Tanya and I have been very involved in hunting for jobs and it is also spring break for many of our friends who are in college. So we are making time to see them as well.

Don't worry, there is a new episode coming soon, we promise!

God Bless,
Chris

NOTICE: New audio feedback number

Fri, 2 Mar 2007 14:52:00 GMT

NOTICE: New audio feedback number

Hey All,

Today I discovered, when trying to log into our audio feedback account, that it had been suspended due to inactivity. Apparently, you need to get at least one message every 30 days for it to be considered an active account.

To make a long story short, we had to get a new feedback number.

Here is the new LOF Podcast feedback line:
(206)600-6505

The website has been modified to reflect this change.

Actually, this works out for the better as it is easier to remember this number.

Look for our next episode to be out soon, and please CALL US so we don't lose this number. That's some incentive for you!

God Bless,
Chris

LOF#35 - Italian abortion case, mandatory HPV vaccination and sexual bias in local paper

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 23:12:00 GMT

Welcome,

Good to see everyone again. Sorry for the delay in the release of this episode. I just couldn't get it edited properly last night and Tanya and I figured it would be better to wait and edit the show properly rather than release a thrown-together episode.

This week we discuss a 13 year old Italian girl who was forced to have an abortion by her parents using the country's court system. We also discuss several articles in our local newspaper.

We talk about the new HPV vaccine and why it shouldn't be mandatory and NJ becoming the 3rd state to recognize "homosexual marriage". We also discuss our own week, snow, sledding and cookies.

Links and resources:
http://www.lifenews.com - Italian Girl Facing Mental Anguish Following Decision to Force Abortion

That's all for this week. We'll get our next episode up on time, or so we hope....

God Bless,

Alive

Tue, 12 Dec 2006 15:54:00 GMT

Hey Everyone,

Chris here. Just writing to let everyone know that Tanya and I are still alive and well, and to apologize for the lengthy abscence. This has partially been due to laziness on my part and for the way that Tanya and I's lives have been going over the past month or so.

It is hard to do the work of the Lord when you are not allowing him into your heart, as I was. While I am a lazy person, I think that my unwillingness to be fully open to our Lord has been a big part, if not the whole of the problem.

That, and it does take a lot of work to produce the show. Because we have no real studio, and the computer is too loud to record into, we cannot use a cast-blaster style program to add our music and effects. This means at least an hour of post-production for every show. Again, not that this was the key issue, as if I am unwilling to listen to the Lord and welcome him into my heart, of course the work won't seem worthwhile.

If it is God's will for this to continue, it will. I cannot say with any knowledge whether or not it is his will for us. I have a lot of personal, spiritual growth to go through before I can truly begin to understand my relationship with Him and with my wife, whom he has given to me.

So, please hold on for us. We will make some sort of an announcement if the Lord truly wishes this to end. However, if the Lord is compelling us to continue, and this is my prayer, we shall put up a new episode as soon as the Lord inspires us to do so.

We appreciate your prayers and you referring us to other listeners out there. It has been a true blessing to have this apostolate in our lives, despite the neglected appearance of it as of late.

May the Lord bless you and keep you in this Advent season as we await the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Your continued prayers and support are well appreciated and again, we thank you.

God Bless,
Chris

Another Delay

Thu, 2 Nov 2006 14:26:00 GMT

We're still alive....

We've just been making a lot of friends in the parish down here and are getting very involved with the Church. This is a good thing and a bad thing.

It's great because we are getting to do what we love most, serve the Lord. The downside is, it has been hard to find time to produce a podcast.

We will do our best to get one out by Friday.

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

Sun, 8 Oct 2006 05:15:00 GMT

Hey Everyone,

Well, this show started off in pretty much the same way it always does... then our friend Michael called. After that the show became really fun and we all learned a lot from it.

The conversation we got, just from talking to our friend at random, turned out to be one of the best experiences we have ever had doing this podcast.

OH, and before anyone asks, we captured the audio for this simply by putting Chris' cell on speaker phone mode and holding the microphone up to it. Not too shabby eh?

Well, we hope you all enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

LOF#19 - Allie's European adventure, Chris and Tanya's love lists and we're taking a break!

Mon, 5 Jun 2006 06:11:00 GMT

Hey Everyone,

It may seem insane but, Chris stayed up until 2:15AM Monday morning just so that this podcast would get out to you. Unfortunatley there was a technical glitch the first time he editited it and Audacity terminated before he could save what he was doing. So Chris had to re-edit the show ALL OVER AGAIN and then upload the show.

Ok, now on with the actual show notes:

This week, Allie speaks of her travels in Europe, including stories about some of the religious aspects of her journey. Tanya and Chris follow the advice of listener Bob and come up with several lists about one another. Perhaps they should have made them ahead of time... They also discuss the improvements being made on their future home and Tanya's wedding shower.

This will be the last podcast before Chris and Tanya's wedding. They have a TON of stuff to do before then and not much time to do it in so, producing a podcast would be too difficult. However, they will do their best to produce a new episode right after their wedding and will greatly appreciate your prayers and any feedback during this time.

May the Lord bless all of you and we'll see you after the break.

God Bless,
Chris and Tanya

Delay of Episode

Sun, 4 Jun 2006 02:33:00 GMT

Just writing to say that Chris and Tanya will be releasing this week's episode a bit late. Tanya is preparing for her wedding shower on Sunday so she and Chris havn't had time to record. There will be a show by Monday though.

Sun, 21 May 2006 02:41:00 GMT

Sun, 7 May 2006 17:19:00 GMT

Hey All,

   This was a very rough week on Tanya and I, therefore this week's episode was very hard for us to record.

Sat, 29 Apr 2006 02:46:00 GMT

Hey Everyone,

On this episode of Life on Fire, Tanya and Chris are a bit unfocused. Expect plenty of tangents and ramblings. However, amongst those tangents and ramblings are some actual segments including Frappr spam, pro-life movie slides and a discussion about how marriage affects the relationship on a non-spiritual level.

We also have Allie's Catholic Life on Campus segment for this week, in which she discusses the results of the e-board votes, how the pro-life week went and discusses religious groups on campuses and how they are formed.

The Song this Week was:

Sat, 22 Apr 2006 02:30:00 GMT

Hey Everyone,

This is yet another long episode of Life on Fire. This one is over an hour long but, is well worth the time to listen to.

In this episode we discuss Tanya's experiance becoming Catholic and how it is affecting her life. We also have an unexpected discussion on love and marriage and how awesome it all really is.

We also discuss youth in the Church and Allie writes in with her Catholic Life on Campus entry for the week, with a little more background about her and her faith situation.

The song Today Was:
Rescued Me by Matthew Casteel
from music.podshow.com

Sorry the recording of the ceremony from Easter Vigil didn't come out. However, we think this episode makes up for it and really has a lot of great stuff inspired by the Holy Spirit. Please enjoy this episode, as much as we enjoyed recording it. It was very much a blessing for both of us to do the show this week.

Sun, 16 Apr 2006 02:58:00 GMT

Hey Everyone,

Here is Episode 12, about 24 hours late. Chris apologizes but he was too tired last night and the Easter Vigil welcoming Tanya into the Church was slightly more important than getting this post out, understandably so.

Ok, quick show recap. We discussed the end of Tanya's RCIA journey, A monetary miracle for Chris and we also had Allie with Catholic Life on Campus. In addition to those things we discussed the National Pro-Life t-shirt day, more furniture and the first 2 meetings focusing on the FOCUS.

Car Accident

lifeonfirepodcast@gmail.com — Wed, 1 Feb 2006 00:25:00 GMT

Hey everyone,

Today I got in a car accident due to the slippery and icy conditions here in CT. I am perfectly unharmed as is the entire front end of my car. However, the entire passenger side as well as the back end of the car have some serious problems. I will probabaly need new door panels, a new back bumper and a new trunk lid. It could have been a lot worse though.

What happened was, I was driving down a road from Tanya's headed to teach 5th grade CCD in my town. On the way I felt the car starting to skid. It went over the line a bit and I probably could have straightened it out but, there was a UPS truck coming on the opposite side. So I decided it would be better to go off the right side of the road, instead of hitting the truck. My car didn't hit any trees head on, nor did it land in a drainage gully behind me or hit the town sign or the telephone pole in front of that. My car knicked several trees with the passenger side and my back end may have whacked one really good causing that damage. However, I am fine, no airbags deployed and no damage to the front end.

I am sure God was with me on this one. Normally I panick when I start sliding, my heart rate goes up and i get an adrenaline rush. However, in this case there was no panic, I just knew what I had to do. Thank God for that.

Tanya had a feeling this was gonna happen but, she didn't flat out say that. She did try to get me to call the school to see if class was cancelled (it wasn't) and told me not to drive too fast (I wasn't going any higher than the speed limit, if even that). So everything is ok with me, but the car is another matter. I don't know where I am going to get the deductible for my insurance co. Tanya is offering me a loan but, I really would feel bad taking her money. I hope I can beg some money out of my parents or something, but, I will go with Tanya as a last resort. She has loaned me money before and I always pay her back, after all, she is my future wife, and to not pay her back is like me not paying OUR future bills.

I also hope i can get to work somehow. My dad has a few days off so I might be able to borrow his truck. If I can't get to work, I may actually get fired because of the way that where I work handles attendance. If you call out on the same day (like a Monday, 5 times in a year's time), you can get fired for that. Unfortunatley I have been absent on Thursday (my Monday) 4 times in a rolling year period. They also have a "no fault" policy so it doesn't matter why I am not there, just that I am not there.

Any prayers you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Tanya and I have enough to worry about right now, and this just makes things worse. I know God will see us through as always.

Perhaps it is his will for me to lose this job and to find something else. I personally am unhappy with this job because of the hours (3rd shift) and the fact that I am working in an enviroment that is not appropriate to my mission in life (whatever it is that God has planned for me).

So it might not be a bad thing, although I do need money to pay bills and such as well. As I said, any prayers for Tanya and I would be appreciated.

Thank you all for your support, concern and compassion.

God Bless,
Chris
