Who Knew!

While Joe and Co. are still in Florida for the National Religious Broadcaster’s convention, Christa and Cameron held down the fort with “Who Knew Wednesday!”

They looked at famous people from Ohio focusing on people from the counties surrounding us. (That’s Paul Edward Lynde, above. He was on quite a few TV shows and in the original Bye, Bye Birdie! film. He was born in Mount Vernon!) If you want to see the whole list of people, you can find it HERE.

The word of the day today was “exponent” and it means: a symbol written above and to the right of a mathematical expression to indicate the operation of raising to a power OR: one that expounds or interprets OR: one that champions, practices, or exemplifies

Uplifting Tuesday

Thanks for the picture!

Cameron and Christa took over for Joe and Co. while they were down in Florida for the National Religious Broadcaster’s convention.

They talked about their pets, their bravest moments, and (of course) GAMES!!

Christa’s bravest moment was graduating from college: it was a culmination of many brave moments and some not so brave moments. Since she is usually really nervous about those “big moments”, it was a brave victory to just relax and enjoy the day!

Cameron’s bravest moment was when he took a trip to Maine, went up to a cliff and hung his feet over the edge with the water below.

Congrats to Scott from Mount Vernon who won tickets to the Lilies of the Field production this weekend, Ashley from Mount Vernon who won Song Poetry, and Gwin from Centerburg for correctly guessing Plumb and Need You Now for Name That Tune!

 

Mystery Monday is… Mysterious

Today Cameron and Christa took over for Joe and the gang who were out and about in Florida at the National Religious Broadcaster’s Convention.

They talked about the history of the word “clue” as well as some not-so-fashionable goats. They also shared the word of the day (bumbershoot) and Cameron discovered the mysterious item in the Mystery Box: a totally retro cassette tape!

Thanks to everyone who called in to play and give their requests for the All Request Drive Home!

Who Knew Wednesday

wednesday

Today Joe and I discussed Be Humble day!

We shared lots of scripture today on the show including:

  • Philippians  2:3-8 – “3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
  • Ephesians 4:2 -” Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”
  • 1 Peter 5:5 -9 “In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

    “God opposes the proud
        but shows favor to the humble.” 

    Micah 6:8 – “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
        And what does the Lord require of you?
    To act justly and to love mercy
        and to walk humbly with your God

    Our word of the day was “Humility” meaning – freedom from pride or arrogance.

    “True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.”
    ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Who Knew it was Heart Month?

wednesday

Today on the Afternoon Drive we discussed heart month!

Heart month was started by the CDC, the Center For Disease Control, in response to the rising number of deaths related to heart disease. Sadly, heart disease is the leading cause of death

Here are some tips for keeping that ticker ticking strong! 

Our word of the day today was….kibitzer, a noun (KIB-it-ser) meaning one who looks on and often offers unwanted advice or comment; one who offers opinions.

Thanks for listening!

The Morning Thing 1/18/17

Today we talked about the good habits that self-made millionaires have and lead to their success.You can view this list Here

We also talked about being the salt and the light at our workplaces in reference to the Matthew 5:13-16 which reads:

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
