Hello Good Neighbor Tony Slabaugh

Hello Good Neighbor,
I was pondering a word the other day, one that everyone I know understands how and when to use it. You'll find it in books, movies, journalism, and TV shows; and even at times, it seems our beloved domesticated animals know when to use it. 
It's a shorter episode today, with a short word of encouragement, as I type this even the Grammarly app is giving pause to my word choices.
Have you figured out the word? What could it possibly be...?
Enjoy the episode and if you would be so kind as to leave us a review where your podcast player allows, or by visiting www.buymeacoffee.com/goodneighbor for your words of encouragement or financial support, these gestures are appreciated very much.
Thank you for listening and sharing this and other episodes.

Hello Good Neighbor,
In this episode, I have the privilege of interviewing my parents, Les and Ann Slabaugh. They were visiting recently and it has been a desire of mine to hear their views regarding our "neighbors" and they were agreeable to do so.
From my upbringing in Sarasota, FL, to their own in Indiana and Michigan, we discuss how our lives are to impact others and how along the way, we ourselves have been impacted by the goodness of friends, family, and neighbors all around us.
I enjoyed this conversation and hope you will too!
Until next time, go out and be a Good Neighbor to others, practicing "all things neighborly".
Tony Slabaugh

Hello Good Neighbor,
I'm still hearing and reading about how others define the concept of Hope. So much so, that I wanted to continue exploring the topic in this episode, following up on episode 25, The Strategy of Hope.
I believe that Hope is very powerful. I believe that it elicits us to action with anticipation of fulfillment. It is based on something real, something tangible, and obtainable.
Join me on this episode and consider the Hopes you have, and how they may be achieved.

Hello Good Neighbor,
I once had an individual end a conversation and take a few steps away, then turn around and state that he did not like the word, "Hope". Within the context of the conversation, he really was pressing for an answer, one that I could not give for that department. I was not the right person and more information was needed. We had a plan though. We would follow up and attempt to assist him with his problem, one I hoped (and expected) we could address.
How do you respond to the word hope? What does hope bring to mind when you think about it? 
Recently I have heard several thought leaders make statements that surround the concept of hope not being a strategy. I decided to look into it from a biblical perspective and compare scripture's description of hope with that of these leaders and look at the textbook definitions for hope.
If you've enjoyed the episode, will you consider sharing it with others? We appreciate your support, online reviews, and honest feedback. Email me at:

As always, my hope is that the messages here at Hello Good Neighbor be good for your soul.
