Positive & Uplifting
The late Howard Hendricks, esteemed Bible teacher and former President of Dallas Theological Seminary said this, “If you find the perfect church, don’t join it you’ll ruin it.” If you don’t get the humor in that one-liner, read his quote again then wait for it. If you do get it, there’s at…

It happens all the time. Listeners meet our on air personalities and the first thing they say is something like, “you don’t look anything like you sound!” We heard that a lot recently at our “Life 101.9 Movie Matinee.” In my first radio interview, my boss told me I had a face made for radio! (OK, I made…

This week, I am reminded of the 1993 movie “Groundhog Day.” In this cult classic, a TV news reporter played by Bill Murray, inspires us to believe that though we are all creatures of habit, we can choose to change. Like the song says, we can change who we are. We can live intentionally. One of the things I’d like to…

A wise old sage once said that if you want to improve your attitude that it all starts with an assessment of what you put into your mind. You need to give yourself a “check up, from the neck up”. Apparently, a positive mental attitude starts with feeding your mind those thoughts that are true and edifying. This makes sense…

Each New Years Day afternoon, it is our tradition to take down the Christmas decorations. And so it was again this year. As I glanced at the Nativity set one final time, I wondered if we could just leave it up this year. What prompted the thought was the joy I have found over the years through periodic visits to the family room where a small…

At the time I am writing this, it’s three degrees below zero with a wind chill index of -17. The room I am in is chilly and not all that comfortable. Guess it’s time to adjust that thermostat. And speaking of thermostats, permit me to share one of my favorite Christian metaphors. It may give us some food for thought as we contemplate…

Do you ever find yourself asking God, “Are we there yet?” or “Are we near the time when your Son will come back?” It’s a fair question to ask the Father and one that I have asked more than once. The Bible tells us that there is a time when he will return. It also says that we won’t know exactly when…

Do you remember seeing Santa for the first time? If you were like me, you were probably smiling from ear to ear after hearing his offer! As children, we learned that a jolly elf in a red suit would bring all the children of the world free toys. All we had to do to get something from his magic bag was keep our naughtiness to a minimum. Jesus…

This morning, God took over the radio station. As Toby Mac would say, “He stole our show!” Indeed. Here’s how it all came down but first, the back story. Loretta and her friend Denise have been regular volunteers at our share events for years. They liked to volunteer together, after all they were best friends.…

Have you ever bought a gift for someone who already had way more than they needed? I remember as a kid, sometimes getting toys that I already had and therefore, rarely played with. I’m convinced that this happens in suburban America everywhere. Musing on this thought gave me an idea that I think has the potential to rekindle…

God has given us THIS moment to live fully, to love deeply, and to lay hold of all He has for us.
