I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Are there any mental games we can play to eliminate the effects of alcohol?  Plus…who and what is a Stephen Miller?  All over the headlines and common man Charlie is either not interested or has no reason to give a damn about a Stephen Miller.    I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

For fans of Black Beauty and A Horse Named Sky, here's a new middle grade novel by award-winning author and former horse trainer Celia Ryker with illustrations by Kathy Connell. Big Guy: A School Horse Story is about a show horse who has big changes to face, and who learns that friendships can last beyond the time you share together.Big Guy is a big horse dealing with big changes.

But when old age and injury make him unfit for winning prizes, his owner retires him to a position as a school horse, giving riding lessons to children. At the school horse barn, Big Guy meets Shorty, Kaiser, Slippy and many other horses who teach him about running in wide open fields and being part of a herd.

Big Guy faces big changes when his horse show career ends and he is moved to the school horse barn. The horse show circuit is the only life Big Guy has known. He will be used to teach inexperienced riders in a lesson program, and he sees this as a huge step down. He has watched the school horses out in their pasture from his private paddock and thought that they looked a little rough, with whiskers on their muzzles and hair sticking out of their ears. They’re groomed but not to the sheen of a show horse. He wonders what it will feel like to have hair protruding from his ears, but this is the least of his problems.  Big Guy hasn’t been outside in a herd situation since he was very young and his social skills are found to be sadly lacking. He is beginning to get comfortable with his new friends and life as a school horse when it all falls apart. Big Guy is about accepting changes, making new friends, and dealing with the curves life sends your way. It is accompanied by a coloring book as well.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Ralph Good, a Christian author and speaker whose work explores church hurt, spiritual abuse, discernment, and what it can look like to rebuild faith after unhealthy spiritual experiences.Ralph’s perspective grew out of his own experience under controlling spiritual leadership. Rather than walking away from Christianity, he spent decades returning to Scripture to separate Biblical truth from unhealthy ideas about authority, submission, and obedience. That journey became the foundation for several books on spiritual authority, healing, and freedom.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Off the coast of Nova Scotia sits a small island that is a riddle wrapped in enigma. In the 1700s, people noticed strange lights there at night, and the person sent to investigate them disappeared. Eventually, a couple of kids who rowed out to the island found a strange indentation in the ground. This discovery began a quest that goes on until this day and has intrigued everyone from presidents such as Franklin D. Roosevelt to movie stars such as John Wayne. What lies beneath Oak Island? Is it pirate’s treasure or a Viking horde? An ancient Fort Knox or even a lost Biblical relic like the Ark of the Covenant? No one knows, and anyone who has tried to find out has encountered an unexpected problem -- booby-traps. Someone went to great measures to hide whatever is there, because as soon as you dig down a few feet, seawater from various hidden, man-made channels floods the hole. Enter the Lagina brothers from Michigan.After more than a decade of searching, The Curse of Oak Island’s Rick and Marty Lagina believe they’ve never been closer to solving the Oak Island mystery.

With years of groundbreaking discoveries now pointing toward long-sought answers, Rick, Marty and the team push further than ever, determined to validate a lifetime of work and the legacy of generations of searchers who came before them. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
