Joe talks about toasters! (Trust us it makes sense.)
Sometimes being in a service medium you may feel like a toaster, you’re expected to do what you do and do it well consistently, and it is only when you have hiccups or don’t perform well that you get noticed. Maybe you feel like a toaster, but God likes his toast however you make it! So thank you, for being in the business of serving others!

Lexie and Joe talk about Walking Tacos today for Who Knew Wednesday!
“Walking Taco” or “Taco-in-a-Bag” aren’t actual tacos, but are Midwest names for the Texas dish called “Frito Pie”.
The “walking frito pie” began in Knoxville, Tennessee, at the 1982 World’s Fair. Petro’s Chili & Chips established a booth at the Fair. The Fair’s theme was “energy,” and the product was originally named “Petroleum Belly.”
The “walking taco” quickly became popular at other fairs in the midwest during the 1980s and 1990s!

We also covered this cool new design for a completely digital Taco Bell Drive-Thru! Read the full article HERE!

These lyrics were a stumper and we will bring them back for next week’s game!
So…what inspired Jeremy Camp to write the song ‘Keep Me in the Moment?’ Here’s what he shared last March:
“When I wrote this song, it really was inspired by a conversation with my wife Adrienne. We were talking and realizing that our daughter Bella only has a few more years in the house with us because she’s going to go off to college. It really sent us on a trajectory of being more intentional with her, and of course the whole family and just realizing how fast time goes, and I don’t want to miss out on any moment. I realize so much with our society we live in, we have our faces buried in our phone so much, and we’re not even keeping our eyes open to things around us – that God may be trying to reveal things in our family, in friends in our lives or whatever it may be. We’re so caught up so many times in what’s next or what’s tomorrow or planning for next year and I’m not saying planning is wrong, but we may miss what God has for us today. And for me, I don’t want to miss anything that God has for me. I want to stay in the moment. It’s been a life lesson for us right now and kind of a reset button and it’s been so good, I pray it encourages you guys.”
