Father Thomas Koys is back after a week absence on the show, ready to talk once again about topics to make our listeners think and feel good during "the Lunch Hour" Father Koys says.  He brings up many stories from his childhood, in reference to the signs of how times have changed, while on the other had, Family Reunions, which Christina shares more on too, talking about her family and the differences in the generations through the years.  After the discussion of Family Reunions, the topic that Father Koys has to share with all of us deals with American History dealing with the Catholic Church's involvement, but also with one of his very favorite American historical figures, Abraham Lincoln.  He also brings up along these lines, The Tower of Babel here too, while at the same time, Father Koys brings up much with the Catholic Church during Abraham Lincoln's time/presidency, focusing on some people during that time. One particular figure he focuses on Judge Edward Bates, and his influence during this time, some things being a bit more intense than others, including involving different cultures and several issues, such as Native Americans and slavery.
