December 20th Show
There are a couple of cases that caught our attention. In Pasadena,Texas, a man fatally shot two men he witnessed robbing his next door neighbor's home. And in Jackson, Mississippi, four homes were burglarized in one week and each of the homeowners fired shots at their intruders. Two robbers were killed. These cases have shined a spotlight on self-defense laws--namely the "Castle Doctrine." This law does not require citizens to retreat before using deadly force on an intruder. Well talk about the cases and examine the regulations for protecting yourself and your home. Following that discussion, Muslim comedian Sarfraz Manzoor tells us why Woody Allen is his personal hero.
In our second hour, we'll talk about what your religion says about the acquisition of wealth. For some believers, money is the root of all evil. But for others, prosperity is God's blessing. What does your faith say about wealth and money? And is it consistent with your idea of how you give and receive it? Following that, YOU will be our guest. Tell us if you and your family are "time-shifting" Christmas because the 25th just doesn't work as the best day to celebrate this year. Then, if you are one of the two people out there who has never seen the classic "It's a Wonderful Life"...and you just happen to be reading this blog...and you're planning a trip to the United Kingdom for Christmas...Nick Varley has come to the rescue!! His company received a $50,000 grant to re-release "It's a Wonderful Life" in the U.K. Here's your big chance!!!
