Positive & Uplifting
Need a simple teaching moment this Christmas? Take the kids or grand kids out shopping and when you hear the bell, make a donation to the Salvation Army and tell them the story of how the Army began. Or if you want to make a bigger impression on those little ones, why not sign up for a two hour shift and ring the bell this year with family members?…

We said goodbye to Little Blue last week. We traded in Grandma’s little Toyota after nearly 200,000 faithful miles of trouble free service. It was bittersweet to say the least. We actually thought about keeping her a little longer because she still runs like a top but the timing seemed right to get something with fewer miles…

School days, school days, dear old Golden Rule days… The Golden Rule. Hmmmm. Where did that idea come from and what does it mean? Turns out the Golden Rule is in the Bible. It’s part of what has become known as the “Sermon on the Mount” chronicled in the NT gospels of Matthew and Luke. The lesson of the Golden…

My wife has an old typewriter that she used when she was in high school. It may be the only useless thing we own that we won’t take to the landfill before we transition to a condo later this month. We plan to keep it just as a conversation piece. It’s been around to witness hundreds of stories. More than we’ll ever have…

We’re always looking for those who will share with us stories of how God spoke to them through a song or something that was shared on Life 101.9. We hear a few of these stories from time to time, but the vast majority of “God moments” in the lives of our listeners go untold. So much good can happen when we share how God…

Share the love is back and I’m glad. This is our chance to provide shelter for the homeless in our area. Learn more. I hope you won’t let this opportunity pass you by without your prayerful response. Let the compassion of Jesus move you to bring grace to the least of our brothers. Jesus said, “For I was hungry and…
