Welcome to episode 100 of the Mayberry Devotional entitled “Fear Not.” It’s only appropriate that as I am recording this the Thursday before Halloween we’ll be looking at season four, episode two of The Andy Griffith Show, “The Haunted House”. And I’ll also be looking at Scripture from Joshua 1:9. While there never was an official Halloween episode of The Andy Griffith Show, most fans consider this one to be close enough.
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
It’s the spooky time of the year and it’s a tradition here on Two Chairs to tell a spooky story or two around the campfire.
I have a couple of shorter stories that I think you’ll enjoy and then, in the same feeling as “The Golden Arm,” I found “Chief Swanee’s Gold” written by Craig Dominey and Lanny Gilbert on “The Moonlit Road” podcast/website. Craig granted me permission to share that story with you and it will be followed by a version of The Golden Arm folktale.
The Golden Arm was most famously told by Mark Twain and also used by him to instruct others in how to tell a story. In 2015, I first presented the Mark Twain version of the story in episode #349. This being the spooky time of the year, I thought it was time to tell another version of the story.
This episode is spooky so be sure to keep those who might not sleep well, like Barney and Gomer, away from this episode I wouldn’t want to have anyone staring darkness trying to spot someone looking for their gold or their golden arm.

Welcome to episode 99 of the Mayberry Devotional entitled “Having A Mind Like Christ.” Today I’ll be looking at season four, episode one of The Andy Griffith Show, “Opie the Birdman”. And I’ll also be looking at Scripture from Philippians 2:4.
“Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
Last episode we heard from some of you about your Mayberry Days 2022 experiences. I thought I’d tell you my story from “Floyd” perspective. Mayberry Days is always special and the the things I experience always leave a mark on me. The wonderful people I meet as well as working with my fellow tribute artist always results in memories that I cherish.
As I head into my 14th year of podcasting, the memories of events and fellow fans always give me something to think back upon and they make Mayberry “real” in my life.
We’ll play some trivia and hear from SpiritWalker with his Returning to Mayberry report.

Welcome to episode 98 of the Mayberry Devotional entitled “Secure in His Love.” Today I’ll be looking at season three, episode thirty-two of The Andy Griffith Show, “The Big House”. And I’ll also be looking at Scripture from Romans 8:38-39.
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Mayberry Day 2022 has come and gone but the memories created during the event will live long in the hearts of those who were able to attend. We’ll hear reports from a few folks about their experience during Mayberry Days and we’ll even get one video report this week. If you missed last weeks podcast, we had a great report from a listener in that episode, too so go back and check it out.
This episode of Two Chairs marks the 14 year mark for the podcast. It began on October 11, 2008 and now, 706 episodes later, we still have fun talking Mayberry. What a blessing this 62 year old television series has been in my life.
We’ll hear from SpiritWalker with his Returning to Mayberry report.

On October 3, 1960, a man and his son walking to the fishing hole first appeared on our televisions with that happy whistling tune. The Andy Griffith Show has not been off the airways since that date and is usually on several times per day in most television markets. Pluto.TV, a free streaming app, even has an entire channel that shows nothing but The Andy Griffith Show 24 hours a day.
While it has been 62 years since the show originally aired, it remains popular with an estimated thirty-thousand fans attending the 33rd Annual Mayberry Days in held in Mt. Airy, NC the last full weekend of September 2022. The ages were from 4 to 96 and all gathered because of their love for series that ended production on April 1, 1968.
We’ll talk about the Anniversary of The Andy Griffith Show and then we’ll hear from SpiritWalker with his Returning to Mayberry report.
