Today on the Afternoon Drive it was Praise Thursday! We want to help get you to that much anticipated weekend. We read two devotions from Our Daily Bread on the show today. The first one was called “Healing Words” and it talked about the power of positive words. To read this article click HERE. The second devotion was called “Taken In”. This was about how God gives us an answer to death and that he has a solution to it. To read this devotional click HERE.

Today’s Who Knew focuses on two significant June 9th events…
1- the release of the Book of Common Prayer in 1549
2- the debut (and birthday) of Donald Duck in 1934
The Book of Common Prayer originated from the Church of England as part of the English Reformation after the break with Rome. BOC was the first prayer book to include the complete forms of service for daily and Sunday worship in English.
Donald Duck first appeared in a 1934 film called The Wise Little Hen, a retelling of the original little red hen story. The exasperated, sometimes angry Donald we came to know and love didn’t really show up until later that August in this first movie with Mickey Mouse, Orphan’s Benefit. Since then he has gone on to appear in video games, episodes of cartoons, and stands out as the Disney character who has appeared in the most films to date.
Today for Artist news day we talked about Riley Clemmons and Casting Crowns! Riley Clemmons just released her second album called “Godsend” which we are super excited to give it a listen. To read more about this new album click HERE. Going with the new music trend CastingCrowns just released a new single called “Scars In Heaven” from their upcoming album. Learn more about this song and their upcoming album HERE. We love when artists release new music!
The weight of the world is getting heavier now
Feels like its far too much to carry around
And each and every little time that you fall starts
Looking like the end of it all
This weeks lyrics were a stumper so we will bring it back next week!

It is Praise Thursday here on the Afternoon Drive! We shared some devotions from Our Daily Bread to help get you through to this weekend.
The first devotional was called “Death Row Joy” and it was about a man who was joyful even when he was wrongly accused of murder. Not only that but he forgave the men who lied about his involvement. This is such incredible faith to be joyful through his 30 years on death row and trust God. To read this devotional click HERE. The other devotion called “Facing the Battles with God” talks about finding refuge in God. In Psalm David says, “In the Lord I take refuge”. Even in the middle of a battle, like Desmond Doss, God was with him. To read this devotion click HERE.
Q: What is the only book of the Bible that does not contain the word “God”?
A:Esther
