Random shite to make you feel alright.. 6/16/07
June 16th, 2007 — RussellMelba’s on-air healing from depression and grieving is the centerpiece of this slightly abbreviated edition of the podcast. (Last time, we heard a call in which she was bummed out about all the death and disease that is going around, so this seemed to be a fitting follow-up.. it has never been released on CD). We also hear a lovely example of “Sacred Harp” music (or shape-note singing) from the deep woods of Alabama, a terminally ill Colonel Harland Sanders muddling his way through his last Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial, a cautionary tune about divine wrath, a snippet of a preaching radio show that probably lasted no more than two or three weeks, and as a reward for those who are still paying attention at the end.. a mind-blowing promotional spot for a movie that “will make you come alive when you step out on the streets”.

Dear Bee,
Thank you for that word of encouragement. I am so glad you are getting blessed by the Podcast. Won’t you prayerfully consider supporting this audio ministry with your tithes and love offerings? Consider the story of the little widow woman who was down to her last bit of meal and oil, and knew that she had enough for one last meal before she starved to death (they didn’t have Tender Vittles or Whiskas back then, which is what Melba buys with what’s left of her Social Security check after she sends most of the money to Trinity Broadcast Network). Then that prophet came to her door and asked her to make him a cake. Most little widows would have told him to fuck off, but this little widow had faith. She made that prophet a little patty-cake with the last of her provisions, and he ate it. And I think she survived and got blessed, or Meals on Wheels was invented at that point, or something. I am not sure. But the point is, won’t you have faith like the little widow and bake me a metaphorical cake with what little you can scrape together? That goes for the rest of you as well. Send that metaphorical cake (in the form of electronic funds) in a Paypal payment to: russmofo@yahoo.com and you too will be blessed somehow, at some point (but don’t quote me on that)… In faith, Bro Russell
