A Note and…
Posted in Family, Music on October 26, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I’m headed out of town for a few days so if your comments don’t get approved right away, that’s why. My dad surprised me with some sound files from 1991 from a tape (remember those?) recorded for my Grandma in northern Minnesota for Christmas. She passed away in 1997.

Posted in Christian Living, tagged bridezillas, Christians, weddings on October 25, 2008 | 8 Comments »
I found a link to a post about how Christian weddings should be in contrast to the often tawdry shows of the world. It got me thinking about the subject.

When His children lie in Satan’s prison, bleeding under the wounds of their consciences, this is the season [...]

My job in talk radio for two decades has meant exposure to news headlines on a daily basis. In the age of the hourly news cycle via the Internet, it has meant far more exposure than that. To produce a talk show with relevant guests and subject matter, you must, must, must be in the [...]

In preparing this, I found several great posts that have also addressed the topic, and I encourage you to do a search online with the words, “ways to bless your husband.” You’ll be pleasantly surprised. Many [...]
