This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands, but Sarah is unable to assist in putting a show together. After watching this (assuming it works), I'm sure you will understand why we prefer the audio format. I've got a face for radio... Anyway, thanks for indulging me as I play around for a couple minutes.

Again, I'd like to thank everyone for their prayers as we stood by Alan and his Friend. It's hard to understand why things happen when they do. Our faith in God props us up when we feel weak. Plans known only to Him slowly become revealed to us over time. No one can say why things happen in the moment, but over time the answers become clear in most all cases.

Please pray for the soul of Alan's Friend as he has come home to Our Lord and witnessed the face of God.

Update - 11/17/2005

First, I'd like to thank everyone who stood by us in prayer as we prayed for Alan's friend. It is with a heavy heart that I pass along the news that his friend has been called home to Our Lord. Additional details will be be given in an upcoming podcast, but I know many of you are checking here frequently for any type of update.

Please keep the soul of Alan's friend in your prayers and feel free to share any additional thoughts on this blog entry.

This podcast is an appeal to all the CMP listeners, Catholic Podcasters and the general Christian community for your prayers. After listening to the emails I read in this roadcast, you have to agree with me that Alan's friend is a very special person - people like this are rare in the world today and he needs our help.

Please mark November 14th on your calendar and keep his friend in your prayers that day.

Additionally, please post a comment, thought, reaction or whatever else you feel compelled to do here on the blog for all to see.

OK, I think I may have screwed up the posting of this show a little. In iTunes, it appears that there are two Roadcast #2 shows...one is only the first 6:04 of the show and the second appears to be the full installment. The name of the good show is 'Roadcast #2 - Appeal to the CMP Community' Please not that this one does NOT have the word 'An' toward the beginning...oh boy...what a mess.

Anyone know how to remove a failed iTunes entry??? Please email me and I'll be happy to fix this - catholicmormon@gmail.com Thanks and sorry... --rob

OK, so I'm going to get my feet wet with a roadcast. Needless to say, the audio quality isn't on par with our 'studio' at home, but I tried my best and will continue to look at alternative mobile recording solutions - that don't cost a lot of $$$.

I won't be offended if you don't listen to this entire show, it's just a few of my thoughts from the road.
