I am a member of the Sirius/XM satellite radio nation, and have been for some time now. My brother was the one to introduce such programming to me years ago when he was a cutting edge listener and I a channel switcher between songs to avoid the commercials. Eventually I purchased a car with the service and I’ve been a devotee ever since.
I particularly like how I can hurry out the door and listen to the same international news feeds I was watching on my TV while getting ready at home. I also like the fact that with one stoke of a preset button I am catapulted back to the 70s, where the sounds of James Taylor, The Rolling Stones, or the Bee Gees take me to a time when I was a teenager and music filled my world. My parents would say it was constant and loud back then. I would say it was essential and expressed the sentiments of my generation.

I’ve been writing Faithful Living for 15 years and I shook my head in amazement this week when I looked back on an early column suggesting ways to stay connected with friends and loved ones.
