Hi,

Today on the show I talked about how today is National Banana Day! I absolutely love bananas. They really almost go with anything you eat. They can go in cereal, on a sandwich, go in ice cream, and so much more! I also gave an updated total from Lifeline 2024. Our total is now $87,461! That is such an incredible total! We are so appreciative of your partnership with our radio ministry! Today is also National Cheeseball Day! I love cheeseballs too. They are always perfect around the holidays. My grandma and I make a homemade cheeseball that is absolutely delicious.

Did you know that there are over 1,000 different varieties of bananas? I had no idea! That is a lot of different bananas. The most popular here in the U.S. is the Cavendish banana.

Did you know the first cheeseball was created in 1801? I had no idea! Elisha Brown Jr. is the first person to have created the cheeseball. She actually presented it to President Thomas Jefferson at the White House!
