We are now on You Tube
We know that in this day in age, everyone is looking for multiple ways to do the same thing. Well we are here to help you out with that. Not only do we have two different ways you can listen to our shows on our site, but now we have a You Tube channel. If you click here, you will have a completely new way to experience our show. We have set up photo slide shows that go along with each show. This channel is a work in progress so keep checking back to see what new shows we have up. Eventually, we will have all our shows on there. Or better yet, if you have a You Tube account (its free to create one if you don’t) just subscribe to our channel to be notified when we upload something new.
Below is an example of what you will see on our channel.

5 Months on Air
God321 has been on the air for just over 5 months and completed 118 shows. I have no idea where the time has gone. We have had some of the most incredible, inspirational, caring and helpful people on as guests. I would like to take a few moments to tell you a little about some of them.
Our very first guest was Rev. “Tex” Rickard. Tex had recently done his last sermon in the church on humor in the ministry before coming to the show, but no one in the family had recorded it. He was 89 years young and closing in on the big 9-0. I was able to provide Tex and his children with a copy of the show on his 90th birthday. If you are ever having a bad day, go take a listen to the show and it will make you laugh out loud and put a smile on your face.
I have also had the privilege to speak with Chet Decker from Hope Center in Macomb. Hope Center is a no cost client choice food pantry that is set up in a grocery store format. The center also provides a counseling service that listens to your needs and directs the client to an organization that will fill each need and help in paying water bills, marriage counseling, etc. They help families who can’t afford to pay for food. See how you can help by visiting their site.
We have also had on Remonia Chapman from Gift of Life Michigan. It is so important to be an organ donor and takes almost no time to sign up. In fact you can find the donor form here. Just fill out the form online and you will receive a sticker to put on your license. Then when you renew your license the donor tag will be on it. Gift of Life, headquartered in Ann Arbor, is helping safe lives.
Kimberly Buffington from Volunteers of America Michigan joined us in the studio to tell us of the great work they do. They help assist those who are trying to rebuild their life. They help homeless vets, adopt families for Christmas, provide senior housing and feed the homeless. Volunteers of America provides services that affect the mind, body, heart and spirit.
Recently we had on Molly McDonald, founder of the Pink Fund. The Pink Fund helps women and men who are actively going through treatment for breast cancer. They provide short term financial aid for non medical related bills (house payments, car and car insurance payments, etc.) to those who have lost their income due to their illness. You can learn more about Molly and the Pink Fund here.
Another organization we spoke to was Angel’s Place. Angel’s Place provides life care to individuals over 18, with developmental disabilities, to assist them in living life independently. Each person who is helped by Angel’s Place is seen as vital members to their community.
There are many others and I will tell you more about them as I go. You can also visit our site to learn more about these guests and all the guests we’ve had on the show. I thank all of those who have been on air with me and look forward to the new people I will interview in the future.
