Positive & Uplifting
When I meet with some of the precious people who support Life 101.9 as Day Partners, I usually ask them what prayer needs they have. Two days ago, a long time friend of the radio station surprised me by asking me to give him something that I could pray for. This doesn’t often happen so I thought I’d seize this golden opportunity…

I think I was about five when I had my first church camp encounter. My mom worked in the kitchen as was part of the food crew, my dad was a counselor and he ran the canteen. The canteen was the hot spot for making new relationships. It was an oasis of the popular and the dreamy. A snack king’s wish, yes, but the place to wait for what the…
I recently returned home from my vacation to Colorado, the state in which I was born and raised. On my return home something that dawned on me is just how bad my sense of direction really is. You see, in Colorado it is very easy to tell what direction you are going based on the location of the mountains. If I am in Colorado Springs and I see…
Jesus did his first miracle at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. I’m thankful that he did another wedding miracle in my heart recently and I’d like to share it with you. But before I do, I have a question. Let me ask you. Have you ever made the mistake of seeing a divine appointment through your human set of eyes instead…

Life is wearing and makes us weary. Each part of it with work, home, family, church…you name it. It wears us out. I think I have found the secret. Why do we tend to wear the burdens that are supposed to be God’s, those that Scripture refers to as “light and easy”? The secret is that we want to accomplish life’s…
There are days when God gives me so much to chew on. “Dear God, help me process it all. Reveal yourself in all that you have shown me today.” The way I am wired, it will take a few days to write it out. It’s a process. It’s God’s process in the way He teaches me. A disciplining by my Master. It feels like an…
One of my favorite sayings is with much distance comes much resistance. Basically, it means to me that in separating ourselves from tempting things, the distance builds a strong resistance to the source of the temptation. One thing I am finding in this theory is that distance from your temptation can’t be fueled by fear. In…
(article reprinted by permission – TJ Calcara, Author) I spent some time this morning reading the Bible, in particular 1 Corinthians, chapters one and two. At the risk of seeming irreverent, the main theme of these two chapters is foolishness. From 1 Corinthians 1:18 through the end of chapter two, the word “foolish” or…

We always told our kids in our youth group that they could count on our youth group to be a safe place; a place where they would never have to worry about being bullied and a place where they could share their thoughts and ideas, hopes, dreams and doubts without fear of being judged. Unkind words or deeds much less any other form of bullying…

I was trying to train my cat once. He never got it right. Each time I did sit ups in the middle of the living room he would try to claw my arm flesh off. Evidently I was crowding in on his run-of-the-entire-house-territory. Even 30 minutes on 3 days a week was a great bother to him. I tried to teach him to obey me, but he wasn’t interested.…
