    Nov 9 2024
    Richard and Linda discuss the Holiday Season and how our families can make the Gratitude of Thanksgiving lead into and prepare ourselves and our children for the true meaning and Grace of Christmas. "Gratitude," the Eyres say, "Is not just the Path to Happiness, it IS Happiness in its most obtainable form," and they read a little from the book they wrote a few years ago: DAILY THANKS.

  • 3-Letter Lessons, ALM and WIN
    Nov 2 2024
    Casting from Las Vegas today, the Eyres finish a discussion they started last episode about the 3-letter lesson ALM referring to the acts of mercy and compassion that Jesus called alms. An act of service or lifting is called an "almdeed" in the New Testament. They then juxtaposition that word with the 3-letter lesson WIN which is a blessing when we make it a win-win, and a curse when we make it a win-lose.

  • The GOLDEN AGE of MOTHERING?
    Oct 12 2024
    On this episode, Linda and Richard, in the midst of gathering with all of their children for Richard's birthday, reflect on how much parenting, particularly mothering, has changed. 30 years ago, when Joy School was at its peak, being a "stay at home mom" was the norm in many places.

  • (Re-run) Three-Letter Lesson #1: "EYE"
    Oct 5 2024
    (Re-run from 12/11/2021) The Eyre's are in New York City today, and start the show with some of the reasons they love the city and their long history there. Then Richard and Linda start a new mini-series for Eyre's on the Road called Three Letter Lessons--short words that symbolize a principle or attitude or behavior we should adopt. "Eye" is about seeing people spiritually rather than physically--looking at people's eyes and using your own eye as a shutter to take an empathy picture.
