This episode was recorded on December 19th, 2023... in the shadow of Christmas which was just 6 days away.
It's so easy to get lost in the helter-skelter and business that comes along with this time of the year - buying Christmas gifts, parties, get togethers, traveling, family obligations, etc.
Rush... rush... rush... busy... busy... busy!
Sigh!
In this episode Tony encourages us to remember the "true reason for the season", and shares 3 important observations from Luke 2, which is the story about the birth of Jesus.
It's interesting to note the progresson of 3 intersting vignetes that appear one after the other in this passage.
The first one concerns something that was proclaimed by the angel who appeared to the sheperds that night.
The second one concerns something that was proclaimed by the old man, Simeon, who had a special connection to the Holy Spirit.
The third one concerns something that was proclaimed by the old woman, Anna, who had been a widow for 84 years, and was over 100 years old.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
