The Apprenticeship Diaries

Ep. 275 "Ickus and Massy" (A Tribute to our Kitties)

Technically, Massy came before Ickus, but Ickus went before Massy, so I titled this the way they left.
We will forever miss you babies. We look forward to seeing you again when it's our time. Thank you Lord for the gifts you gave in these two cats. We are so very grateful. So glad they are out of pain.
Mrs. Massy Face (AKA: Mass-tastic, Burnt Marshmallow, Baby Iorek Byrnison, Massy Girl with a Twirl, Sweet Angel Kitty): June 2005 - November 24th 2025
Ickus (AKA: Ickaman, Man): May 2008 - September 30th 2025

Ep. 274 "Surreality" (Follow- Up Entry with Elo Solarii)

Welcome back Elo Solarii... It's not been that long, but let's be real, there's been much to say. Sometimes, we need more time to get it all out. Sometimes, our bladders get in the way. :)
Check out Elo at Youth Gone Wild in New Richmond, WI.
Thank you again, Elo! You honor us with your story. We'll be keeping in touch as time moves ahead. 
God bless!

Ep. 269 "Painfully Blessed" (A very personal Entry)

I'm sad Listeners. Today, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed. I recorded the majority of this podcast 2 days ago. I think it has merit but I'm not gonna shout this one too loud beyond how I feel for Charlie and his poor family. Of course, I'm grateful for all your listening time and honored. 
What I want you all to know is that I'm going to keep speaking. Our Lord tells us to "fear not," and I will not be afraid. God bless you all. 
 

Diary Entry 268. "Hangout" (With Kevin Kline)

Thank you so much Kevin Kline, for this wonderful exploration of the 'sign's of the time' and craft of tattooing. I was a very fun conversation and I found it very cathartic. I hope our Listeners think so too.
God bless you Kevin.
You can find Kevin at Tattoo Icons in Perryville, MD.

Ep. 267 "IHop" (A personal Diary Entry that has little to do with pancakes)

Just a personal entry this week. I expand on how my physical life has been lately (as well as mental and spiritual, life.). It's been a trial, but overall, an immense blessing; A blessing I attempt to communicate.
Thank you for listening and any care that you give to myself, personally. You are a blessing and I pray you continue to be blessed. May we all "hop" together, into bigger and better, futures.

This is the last bit with my good friend Kelly J Mendenhall... For now. As she said, "I didn't come this far to only go this far"... or something to that effect. There's so much more ahead!

Kelly... Thank you. You are truly a Godsend. I love you and I'm so thrilled to finally have you on the show. We need to do more.
God bless you all and have the best (rest) of this week... As well as amazing lives. ;) We'll be here with you, letting you know you're not alone and you do have help.
