Jeremiah: 23) Audio Broadcast 23 - A "fireside chat" where I can finally relax and hit some issues that hit me and my way home from work

Summary: I was running around at work today like a crazed journalist with a HOT, HOT news story. Today marks another fantastic first. I received my first fan mail from overseas! For the most part, the mail I've gotten has been from friends and family (big "shout-outs" to Zachary and Chris!) and that's been very heart-warming, supportive and spiritually uplifting (and I mean that - zero sarcasm there!). I've also receive email from other individuals requesting help with their podcasts. That's been fun, a little nerve-wracking (because I feel like a regular support help-desk), and good on one level of recognition; however, up to this point, I had yet to receive any "fan-mail" just dropping me a thanks (beyond those circle of people outside my family and friends). That has changed! I want to give a big thank-you to Lior, a young man living in Israel. Lior sends his love my way and I appreciate that so very much. Lior is Jewish, as well, and on a cultural level, that's a kinship we share. I'm hardly a practicing Jew, so I feel a touch guilty about my open declaration of my Judaism; however I was born with the Judaic culture in my veins, so I often find justification in my pronouncement. I'm a firm believer that Judaism is a culture as well as a religion (I have a lot of firm beliefs, eh?). I guess I need to feel more pride in my Irish side as well, huh? I do have a red beard and love music and I'm a compilation of cultures (as are most individuals of the world. I guess I push my Judaic analytical being ahead of any other traits I possess. I'll work on correcting this. In any case, Lior has my thoughts for the day, so thanks again, Big L! Please feel free to write to me at joshua@joshuajeremiah.name. I appreciate anything you have to say to me, be it criticism or accolade. I love to learn, so if you've got a different point of view, I sincerely want to hear from you!
