Today is April 15th. Happy “Tax Day” everyone. Did you know that our founding fathers never intended for us to pay income tax? It’s true but here we are sending another check to Uncle Sam yet I wonder if we also take time to pray for our country when we write out the check? I am afraid that I am usually spending too much…

I work a few hours each week at our local YMCA. My title is “building supervisor” but actually part of my job description doesn’t sound as glamourous as the title but it’s very important. I wash and dry filthy rags. That’s right. I clean and fold rags that have been used to disinfect surfaces where…

What a blessing many of our Life 101.9 listeners and friends were this month! Through the gifts of generous listeners and donors like you, 2605 nights were sponsored at $15/night to provide a warm night’s sleep at one of our area homeless shelters to someone who has no place to live. That means a total of $39,075 was given for…

It’s been nearly nine months since the pandemic broke onto the scene. With a vaccine coming, there’s every chance that life will return to some semblance of normalcy in the not-too-distant future.

I was taking a walk the other day as I do most every morning. As I passed two ladies coming toward me, I heard one of them say, “Best year ever? Hah!” I wasn’t sure what inspired her to make such a snappy statement to someone she didn’t know. Was she talking to her friend? No, it was me. She spoke up as she passed.…

My grandkids are my favorite superheros of today. I have so much hope for them. But if I had to pick a superhero in the Old Testament, I might be inclined to pick a little known character whose entire life was summed up in two brief verses. I’m talking about a man named Jabez. I pray that my grandkids will grow up to learn his secret.…
A recent study in Sweden showed that a small child was 32% more likely to keep his mask in place for five minutes if it’s a super hero mask. (That number goes up if you “face paint” it on.) Don’t believe me? Hey, it makes sense right? ____________ OK, I made that up. Side note: Just judging by the smiles, I think…
