Wow.....Rev. Al and I couldn't be more excited to welcome the teacher, Rabbi Andrew Busch, the leader of Baltimore's Oldest Jewish Congregation, the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation. A cool conversation, we talk about the great history of his Synogogue from its origin in Baltimore City to its current home on the City/ County Line.

Rev. Al and I are so pleased to welcome Van Brooks, founder of the Safe Alternative Foundation for Education.  Van is a survivor and inspiration to everyone he meets, he tells his story of perserverance in the face of the prospect that he night never walk again.  As a decorated high school athlete at Loyola Blakfield in a moment his world changed as a result of a broken neck during a routine tackle playing football.  An inspired Van Brooks tells his story of triumph, the low points and the high points, of a journey that will lift up anyones spirits and give you a glimpse of a man who won't give up until he walks freely again.
