God, I've got Tom Rooney joining me and Tom is with Directline a
Christian prayer center. Mister Rooney, how are you, sir? Very good,
Thank you well, Thank you for doing what you guys do. I
think this is just a really neat thing. And we've been chatting a little
bit ahead of time. He said, you guys started in two thousand and
eighth, Is that right correct? Yes, it was really an idea where
the business right next door Shipley's Laundry, they were looking for some office space
and so they bought this building thinking that that's what it would become. And
once they gained ownership of it. They felt like the Lord was directing them
to start a prayer center. Instead, got about forty volunteers and we typically
on an average day we'll have you know, about twenty to thirty different contacts
from people via email or telephone, or sometimes people will actually come in off
the streets for prayer face to face. That's really cool. At times,
it's been a little bit challenging to make sure that we have people here.
And like I say, a lot of people will email requests. We get
them from around the world. John, We've had requests this year from Norway,
from Israel, all kinds of different places. And some people will call
in, you know, we pray with people over the phone that and then
occasionally, like I say, we'll have somebody come in from the street,
sometimes by accident. They're walking by and they see prayer center on the window
and they think, I'm gonna go in and see what's happening there. So
it's really been interesting. And again ten am to six pm is the time
that people can call, but the emails can kind of come anytime, right,
correct, yes, yes, And the phone number is it two seven
four nine two seven four, Right, that's the soouit falls number and if
people would like to stop in and see you, you're right kind of across
from City Hall downtown, right right, if they know where Shipley's Laundry is,
we're just one door west of Shipley's Laundry, like you say, across
ninth Street from City Hall. Very nice, mister Rooney. I appreciate you
taking some time to chat with us here. And are there things that you
guys need at the Direct Line Prayer Center. Are there things that you're saying
we could sure use more volunteers or we need you know, a list of
these kind of things. What kind of things do you need help with?
Well, mainly the volunteer thing is is you know an area of need and
you know it is a nonprofit organization, and so we receive donations for support
if somebody feels so inclined, and that's always greatly appreciated. But that's the
main area, like I say, in terms of the physical operation, is
to make sure that we have volunteers. It's a Christian prayer center and so
we've ministered to a lot of people that is fantastic. And I see the
website directlinesd dot org. So folks would like to go there and get some
more information. Is that also a place they could go if they say,
Hey, I want to volunteer or I would like to contribute? Can they
do all of that right through that website? Absolutely? And for volunteers that
are interested, there's a volunteer tab on that website where you can actually fail
an application out to do that online. And I see also a place where
you can request a prayer right through the page. That's also very simpactly Yes
again directlinesd dot org. Tom, thank you again for your time and thanks
for doing what you guys doing. I think this is wonderful. Thank you
so much, John, God bless you absolutely again Tom Rooney, and he
is with Direct Line Prayer Center. It's a Christian prayer center in downtown Sioux
Falls, but they take prayers from people all over the world, which is

the day after Christmas, and I have doctor Jan joining me right now from
Siuo Falls Knows. Is how you doing, doctor Dan? I'm very good,
wonderful day. And this is a time where people are starting to think,
you know, we're like a week away from New Year's and are going
to make resolutions next week. Oh it's starting, isn't it. And I
don't know if other people are as good at this as I am. As
I make this resolution and like four days later, I'm like, oh,
hey, I thought I forgot about that already. Yeah. That's the thing
about resolutions is the resolution itself is good and wonderful and useful. But the
thing that's important is when you make the resolution and then you feel the rationalization's
happening. Yeah, where you start to oh, I'm busy, I have
this going on, I have that going on. Excuses. Well, yeah,
we'll go ahead and say that. I'll say rationalizations, you say excuses.
But that's really what it is. And the thing about a resolution that
they're wonderful in and of themselves for whatever they are. But the thing to
really learn in there is it's the pull away from them. It is the
rationalizations. It is the excuses and how we handle them that matters. That's
the thing that resolution's supposed to teach us. Yeah, absolutely is the thing
we're supposed to be come aware of, is okay. There's something inside me
that really doesn't want to do this for some reason or isn't okay with it,
And generally speaking, is just a part of us that's trying to protect
us from a from the possibility of failure. It's trying to protect us from
there's a part of us inside that's going, who wha, We'll wait a
minute, man. We've committed now, and now there's a real chance that
if we don't come through on this, we're going to experience We're going to
experience failure, We're going to experience a lot of negative feelings and it's going
to have an impact on our sense of ourself. And that part of you
is like, okay, well maybe we need to kind of talk our way
out of this or part of this, or soften this up. And it's
a negotiation. It's like there's a little lawyer inside you. And don't get
me wrong, I like lawyers, but there's a lawyer inside you who's trying
to make this okay in some way or make it more usable or less stressful
to us. Because that's really the thing is what we've We've now placed ourselves
in a situation that has become stressful, and we're trying to bargain our way
out of it or part of it so that it is less stressful and more
user friendly. And what happens is is for many people they bargain their way
out of the majority of it, or they bargain their way out of it
entirely. Change is hard. So when it's this, you know, all
of a sudden, I'm going to change this habit, it's a lot easier
to not change the habit. Yes, it's a lot easier because that making
of that decision to change. People don't stop and think about it because it
always sounds wonderful at the time, but it's incredibly stressful when we have to
face it. And really that's the amazing learning experience that a resolution has in
it is having to make you make that decision, but then having to face
it and what do you do now? Do you bargain your way out of
it, or do you go ahead and face it and do your best and
work through all of that. And as you said earlier, it's a lot
easier to back out of all of it or part of it. And that's
really the thing about resolutions to pay attention to, is this what happens next?
Yeah, that's where your opportunity to grow and change and become is.
And some of the biggies when people are looking at what resolutions, losing weight
is huge. If you don't believe me, drive by any gym in the
next couple of weeks, you're going to see the emails common their membership goes
through the roof for a few weeks. Another one is trying to quit smoking.
I'm going to do that. I'm going to quit smoking. And another
one would probably be, you know, doing less work and maybe trying to
put my family first and a little less stress in my life. And those
three things are things that I know at Suo Fall Hypnosis you help people with.
So I think that's why it's perfect for us to talk right now.
Yeah, and we do. We specialize in weight loss, stop smoking,
stress reduction, all the things that you just mentioned. And it all comes
down to this idea that you need to make a decision and then you need
to commit to it. Yeah, and it is it's there that the learning
happens. And that's really kind of if someone were to ask me what I
do, well, you know, I do hypnosis, but really I help
people to be able to make a decision and keep it. That's good,
that's my job. And it's easy to make the decision, it's hard to
keep the decision. And but that is your opportunity to grow learn. You
know what he's talking about. You can take the reservations and yes, exactly,
anybody can take a reservation, keeping it. Anybody can make a resolution
is keeping that resolution. And when you make a resolution, for everybody out
there listening right now, when you make a resolution, just know that there's
a part of you that is going to try to protect you from this in
some way, protect you from the feelings, the possibility of failure, the
negative sense of self that might come when you struggle with that. And that
is the point where we step away from what we've set ourselves to. And
what I would tell people is is, don't step away if you need help
with that. If there's some learning you need to have, if there's some
discovery you need to have in there, then don't step away. Get help.
Find somebody who can walk you through it. I know somebody they can
help, doctor Dan, Doctor Dan, Sue Falls Hypnosis. How do they
get in touch with you? Sir? You can give me a call at

for this day in Sue Fall's history, brought to you by the suit Falls
Fun Page, West Sue Studios and Sunny ninety three point three. It was
on this day, December twenty sixth, nineteen seventy two, construction wraps up
the brand new downtown Sue Falls Library. The library went through a series of
renovations back in two thousand and nine and twenty ten, but back in nineteen
seventy two, the original structure was a state of the art upgrade on the
more than half a century old Carnegie Library that had been in use. Public
libraries and reading rooms have been a priority in Sioux Fall since the early days
before the turn of the century, a handful of lawyers, doctors, and
other professionals in town made their private libraries available to city residents, and in
the eighteen nineties, the Women's History Club furnished a public reading room on the
second story of a building downtown. In the late eighteen nineties, wh Lion
and his wife, Wenona Axtel Lion donated the old All Souls Church building to
the city for use as a library. But when word reached town that Andrew
Carnegie was giving communities gifts of twenty five thousand dollars to build public libraries,
wh Lyon led the charge to secure a donation on Sioux Fall's behalf. The
Carnegie Library served our city for sixty nine years before the downtown branch was constructed.
Now Sioux Falls is served by five public library branches and multiple private and
school libraries all around the area. This day in Sioux Falls History has been
brought to you by the Seux Falls f On Page West, Sue Studios,
and Sonny ninety three point three. Do you cringe when you get your mobile
