Tonight, It's the unofficial start of Summer: Memorial Day weekend. And we remember those that sacrificed their all for our freedoms and the freedoms of others around the world. 
So, summer=baseball! How about a Q&A with Gina on her days as a baseball wife married to Cincinnati Red Pitcher, Frank Pastore during the days of the "Big Red Machine". Gina doesn't know the questions that Dave is going to ask her beforehand, so this is going to be fun. We wonder if Dave can get her to sing part of, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the broadcast. Maybe?

Loss and grief are part of the human experience. 
No way of getting around it.
We have a choice: Walk through the grief, meet it head-on or ignore it and allow bitterness and anger to define us.

All of us are going to experience loss. It's inevitable. Maybe a friend moved to another state, you lost a sale you were sure you had or a loved one passed away.

Real Life SH 317 Steven Curtis Chapman DON'T LOSE HEART In Life

Tonight, maybe you've never heard or maybe you need to be reminded that there is a reason you are this earth. Of course, your mother and father got together, and you were created. BUT there is a REASON that you are on this third rock from the sun. Do you know why? Do you know your meaning and purpose? Without knowing either one of those things, you will flounder and walk aimlessly in life trying to fill that God shaped hole with something. And that something could spell disaster. Knowing your purpose, changes everything. How do you find your purpose and meaning?
