Hello there. It is Eric Erikson here. The Eric Erikson show across the nation, the full number.

If you want to be on the program, 877-37-3-7-4-25. I want to give you some of the lay of the land of what's going on out there and what to expect.

Before I do that, though, I want to take Steve's phone call.

Steve, welcome to the show.

How are you?

I'm doing good.

How are you doing, Eric?

Great.

What's going on?

Hey, earlier in the week, I was listening,

and you gave some advice to people about not making politics your God or something to that extent.

And I was wanting to call in and, you know, thank you for all that.

And it just kind of the week went along.

I thought, well, I'm going to go ahead and give you a call.

Because I think it's good advice for not just Christians, but for, you know, those people that

don't have a faith or other faiths or whatever, because what you said is so practical

to be able to go out and do things in your own community and make a difference there

and your family and in your schools or whatever.

So I just appreciate that.

Well, look, I appreciate you saying that.

I actually, as a matter of fact, was texting with Philip here a little while ago and said,

will you please get that?
