lightning bugs

Season 2, Episode 24:  From tales of catching lightning bugs and fireflies to serving as the unofficial "bug man" saving his family from creepy-crawly critters, this episode delves into the many ways that insect friends have intersected with our lives -- including the story of a pest control brochure written for an Ohio ad agency.  As always, names have been changed to protect the innocent.  In this podcast series, Tom Nielson tells stories, shares memories, and concocts whimsical, light-hearted tales inspired by his life adventures, channeling the style of Jean Shepherd, Garrison Keillor, Mark Twain, Jerry Seinfeld, and other famous storytellers.

Hey Family,

     In today's episode we take a moment to  embrace the blessings of pausing to rest, even in the midst of life's journey. Thanks for your understanding as spirit called for me to take some time to pause and rest.   Listen to today's episode to learn why being restful is just as important as being active along our life's journey.

Enjoy the show.


Be blessed.  Not stressed.  Why?

Because yours and their lives depend on it.

This week, we’re discussing an insect that often raises feelings of summer nostalgia. You probably have memories of chasing them at night, anticipating their bright yellow/green flicker of light. They can create some fantastic spectacles because of their bioluminescence, and they’re also crucial to the ecosystems they’re a part of. So, take a look outside tonight because we’re talking about fireflies.
