Amish Wisdom: "The Comfort Quilt" with Virginia Tech Professor Bryan Cloyd 03-25-2010 | The Comfort Quilt was taken by the Amish to Virginia Tech, after the tragic shootings that took place on April 16, 2007. Dr. Bryan Cloud, both of Virginia Tech, will be joining us on Thursday. The Cloud's only daughter, Austin, was killed in the shootings. Renee and Bryan Cloud have developed a strong bond with the Nickel Mines families and, says Dr. Dooley, the couple has inspired many with their demonstrations of Amish grace. Join me on Thursday as the Clouds share their story and show us how they turned a tragedy into a blessing through service. | 3/25/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

A Great Show!
I love Suzanne's insight into the world of the Amish. Her insight and advice is inspiring. Since listening to her show I have ordered several of her books and love them. BRAVO!!
Very Wise!
There is a lot of wisdom in the show! If ever you need to slow down a bit and appreciate the joy in life, this is a great show to have on.
Peaceful and interesting
I love listening to Suzanne explore the many ways we can incorporate simplicity and meaning into our everyday lives. It's such a lovely break from the everyday hustle and bustle.
