Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vat, the host and the content director

here at Word on Fire. And joining us finally back in the United States is the great Bishop

Baron. Bishop Baron, how you doing?

Brandon, I'm doing well. I'm glad to be home, I must say, because I've been boy on the

road constantly for the past several months. I've been in Europe three separate times in

the past, what, three months. So, including a month in Rome. So it was a lot of traveling.

The first thing I wanted to ask is, how are you adjusting? I know after being gone a month,

your whole body must have been attuned to Rome time. Are you at all back to California

time?

Get in there. It takes me a long time. It's always easier for me for some reason, going

to Europe. But when I come home, I have a much tougher time. You know, I was for a month,

eight hours off the rhythm of here. So last night I was in my room about 8.30 pm completely

dead tired. Stayed away till about nine, then woke up at about four this morning. So I'm

like an hour off my usual rhythm or hour and a half. I'll get there. The trouble is now

I'm leaving about four days for Baltimore, which is three hours off my schedule here.

So my poor body has no idea, you know, where it is.

Well, part of the difficulty was this long transatlantic flight from Rome all the way back

to from Rome to Frankfurt. I think you went. And then all the way back to California.

And when you were on that flight, you read a book that I wanted to devote our episode to today.

It's one of the, I also read it was written by Stephen Hawking, the great physicist and

a cosmologist. I'm holding up here for those watching this on the YouTube video. The book

is titled brief answers to the big questions. And it made a big splash when it was released.
