HOMEKEEPERS - August 25 - 28th

8/25/08 - This program contains "back to school" information with special guest Ann Cueva.
Don't miss the last couple minutes of the program which features a segment from
THE AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION. It outlines what has happened in our
public school system since prayer was removed.

8/26, 27, 28/08 These programs featuring Pastor Danny Hodges and his wife are "repeats" due
to the response we received from the first time around. They tell how their
marriage survived a major crises.

8/29/08 This is another rerun with Rebecca Porter. God is using this lady to slow down the
rate of abortion in this nation.

I hope these programs will be helpful to you. We love our viewers.

Gayle Sierens visits HOMEKEEPERS

The HOMEKEEPERS TELEVISION PROGRAM has been produced and aired from the Tampa Bay area of Florida for more than ten years, and it is a well established fact, that I, the host am NOT a household name. However, we were honored to have an established "Tampa Bay" household name visit us recently.

Gayle Sierens is now in her 32 year of broadcasting on the NBC affiliate WFLA in this 10 county area of Florida. As she marked her 30th year, Mayor Pam Iorio proclaimed a special GAYLE SIERENS DAY for her home town. Gayle began as a sportscaster, and was the first woman to call an NFL game.

She is a wife, mother of three, and a committed Christian. She told our HOMEKEEPERS audience how she organized a daily time of prayer for a sick colleague. The outcome was favorable for everyone involved.

Needless to say, she is is one of the most accomplished, loved, and respected personalities in this area. Most would say that she comes across as "a best friend", or "the girl next door". After meeting her in person, I along with my colleagues here at the CHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORK would agree.

A Word About Good Manners

A few days ago, I took my Grandsons, Caleb (13) and Sammy (11) to grab a sandwich. Their home was messed up due to ongoing renovations, and we had a hard time finding the kitchen. I couldn't help but smile as Caleb held the door opened and Sammy stood back while "I" entered the Sub Shop. I just can't remember feeling more important than I did that moment. . . which caused me to give thought to what I had just experienced.


I remembered how my own Mother repeatedly told us to be polite, close our lips as we chewed food, say "please" and "thank you". It was wearisome, but memorable to this day. It is a shame that except for my brief moment on the "SUB SHOP RED CARPET, my grandchildren's good manners might have escaped me, but no doubt I would have noticed any bad manners. I have three older grandchildren as well - they're all married, but their conversations with me are sprinkled with "yes m'am, and no m'am".

Because of this example of excellent parenting, I would like to send my heatfelt gratitude to their parents, Mike, Terry, Chris and Meredith. How blessed I am to have these wonderful people as my family.

As we navigate through a country with plenty of ill-mannered people, let's never allow it with our own. Be persistent, and profuse with our own good manners. . . . "thank you", "please", "may I help you", "no, you go first" and "God Bless You".
