Today was Praise Thursday on the Afternoon Drive! We continued our topic of habits for the new year by talking about the habit of prayer.
We shared the ACTS Model of Prayer from the book, Lead Like Jesus by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges:
ADORATION –all prayer should begin here; tell the Lord you love Him and appreciate Him for who He is (I Chronicles 29:11)
CONFESSION – this is where we confess our sins in response to the fact that we adore God (I John 1:9)
THANKSGIVING – this is the heartfelt expression of gratitude to God for all He has done in creation, in redemption and in our lives. (Ephesians 5:19-20)
SUPPLICATION – this is where we sometimes start…but we should finish here. This is simply a big word for asking what you need. (Matthew 7:7)
We need to think about this question: ‘How’s Your Prayer Life?’
Our Word of the Day was hebetude, a noun meaning the state of being dull. You can read more on that here.
Have a great evening!

It’s freezing outside and snow has fallen and left us driving, walking, and playing in it! As much fun snow can be it can create some challenges and I know this weather stresses me out! Today for Who Knew Wednesday we shared some tips on dealing with this winter weather from theweathernetwork.com!
Most of the time we forget about our furry friends! During this cold weather we need to make sure we keep an I on our pets! Here are the tips we talked about today.
This weather also gives us some challenges for driving. We mentioned some tips that will help you prepare for the potential hazards! Here are a few tips we thought were very helpful!
Speaking of Emergency kits, Jess and I think they are a great idea! In case of an emergency it’s important that you are prepared for anything! Thinking ahead will help you be ready for those situations. Here is a link that gives you tips and helps you build your own emergency kit: www.redcross.org

Today we shared some facts about the cold. Let’s face it…the weather is cold around Ohio today, but it could be like 1899.
The cold snap that covered the USA from February 1-14, 1899 is known as the Great Arctic Outbreak. The Weather Channel shared some facts from that two-week span:
So…maybe it’s not that cold, after all? Okay, yea. It’s cold.
Congratulations to Cheryl, who won Song Poetry by guessing the lyrics we shared belonged to Natalie Grant for ‘Perfect People.’
Today’s Word of the Day was PERIPATETIC (pair-uh-puh-TET-ik), an adjective describing someone who walks or travels about.

I hope you’re praising into the new year. Today we played some songs that remind us of the incredible love and power of God. ‘Let it Be Love’ by Family Force 5, ‘Same Power’ by Jeremy Camp, ‘Noel’ from Lauren Daigle, ‘You Are Loved’ by Stars Go Dim…and many more.
We also talked about the power behind finding solitude as you start this new year. Alone time with just you and God. No smartphone, no agenda, just a time for you to be quiet and hear his still, small voice. Think about how counter-cultural that is in 2016 – yet, it is sometimes EXACTLY what we need!
Today we gave away Winter Jam 2016 passes and we’ll have more tomorrow on The Morning Thing and right here.
Today’s Word of the Day was TERPSICHOREAN (terp-sih-KORE-ee-un), which is an adjective meaning something pertaining to dancing.

No, that’s not a typo…KVELL was our word of the day. It’s a Yiddish and Middle German word that means ‘to feel happy and proud.’ Pronounced just like it sounds: kuh-VELL. So are you feeling happy or proud today? Marcy sure was in this picture from the MV Christmas Parade!
Today’s Song Poetry was a stumper, so we’ll carry it over to next week:
Suddenly it’s like a weight is lifted, when you hear the words that you are loved!
He knows where you are and where you’ve been…
and you never have to go there again.
Thanks for listening!

Welcome to 2016!
Today’s show was a mixed bag of trivia, stories and inspired songs. One of those choruses was Darlene Zschech’s “Made Me Glad,” which offers this statement of victory for all who know Jesus:
You are my SHIELD, my STRENGTH, my PORTION, my DELIVERER…my SHELTER, STRONG TOWER, my very present HELP in time of need!
I hope that as you begin the new year, you can rest firmly in that promise.
Our trivia question for Mystery Monday was: What county in what state is known as the ‘winter lettuce’ capital of the world? It produces 90% of the lettuce sold in the US from November-March.
The answer? Yuma County, Arizona. (source: Good Housekeeping)
Our winner was Tanya of Mount Vernon.
