Episode Description
In the endurance contest called life, it is easy to get discouraged. We are constantly being assailed from all sides by issues and events that threaten to take all the joy out of life. Like the miner who labors for years to find the vein of gold, only to stop inches from the goal, we may be tempted to throw in the towel just moments from victory. And the fallen ones and forces of darkness would like nothing better than to derail a lightbearer inches from the prize. How do we counteract these dark inclinations? By remembering love, grace, gratitude and joy. We are not victims of darkness unless we choose to be! By daily choosing love and joy instead of negativity and fear, we build a fortress of light that cannot be breached or overcome. Yes, it takes a conscious effort. But what would you rather be, victim…or victor! And when you come to stormy seas, let this sense of victory be the wind in your sails that will blow you unerringly to safe harbor in the ever-loving mind of God.

Terry Canady and Thom Schumacher
Terry Canady, singer/songwriter, was raised in Des Moines, Iowa, and his performing and recording career has spanned nearly five decades. Recording a #1 hit record, “Mama Bear,” in Nashville, Tennessee in the early 1970s was the highlight of his career and eventually led to the creation of his own record and publishing company, Saint Adrian, through which he has produced a number of records and albums, most recently a patriotic CD titled “Give Me Liberty.” He continues to accept narration, commercial and voice-over work from his home in the beautiful Paradise Valley, just a few miles north of Yellowstone National Park.
Thom Schumacher is a copywriter, ex-seminarian, singer, percussionist, talker, plays a mean penny whistle, lyricist, RE broker and, most importantly, a student of the ascended masters. He has been gifted with an exceptional family, survived 3 marathons, navigated some very potent astrology (double Pisces!) and continuously juggles a myriad of creative challenges, not the least of which is hosting The OPEN DOOR. The threads that run through the crazy quilt of his life are love of God, Life, wife, family and gratitude for all the opportunities along the way to learn and grow.
