#1 Laughter
On your feet now-applaud GOD! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence. Psalm 100:1-2 MSG
As children of the Creator Himself, we were made to laugh—to experience great joy. Our design didn’t include for us to carry the stress, worry, and heaviness every day. Go ahead! Ask God to give you a really good laugh today. Prayer: Lord, help me to rediscover laughter. Help me to take every opportunity You bring to see the joy in life and the comedy that it brings to my world every day. Amen.
#2 Christian Living
You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. Ephesians 2:19 MSG
What seems impossible on our own becomes a pleasure when we have help. We are never alone in our Christian journey. We are given one another, and we are even in touch with God’s Holy Spirit. Prayer: O Lord, show me how You want me to be. Open my eyes, my heart, my spirit. Amen.
Name a subject on which people are always giving unwanted advice. 1 – your love life 2 – raising kids 3 – money 4 – weight/health 5 – cooking

NEW MUSIC FRIDAY – new songs added to the WNZR playlist this week:
I was intrigued earlier this week when I found that Coke was rolling out “Coca-Cola with Coffee.” Lexie and Zoe looked for it over two days, but found it last night at a convenience store. It is interesting – the flavor seems to be heavy on the Coke first, then the coffee kicks in. Here’s a picture:
and…IT’S NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CAKE DAY…(AND I’M SHOUTING…)
In America, chocolate was consumed primarily as a beverage until the 1830s or 40s. Chocolate cakes, as we think of them today, mostly did not exist then. According to the Dover (DE) Post, the chocolate cake was born in 1765 when a doctor and a chocolate maker teamed up in an old mill. They ground up cocoa beans between huge millstones to make a thick syrup. The liquid was poured into molds shaped like cakes, which were meant to be transformed into a beverage. A popular Philadelphia cookbook author, Eliza Leslie, published the earliest chocolate cake recipe in 1847 in The Lady’s Receipt Book. Unlike chocolate cakes we know today, this recipe used chopped chocolate. Other cooks of the time such as Sarah Tyson Rorer and Maria Parloa all made contributions to the development of the chocolate cake and were prolific authors of cookbooks.
The first boxed cake mix was created by a company called O. Duff and Sons in the late 1920s. Betty Crocker released their first dry cake mixes in 1947.
Today’s Who Am I? Who Knew Wednesday question: – I was born today in 1901 in Coulterville, PA – I was a boxer and football player before getting into the business of football – I bought an NFL franchise for $2,500 in 1933 – My team has six Super Bowl rings – My team has the same colors as my city’s baseball team and hockey team
The answer is Art Rooney – the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers! Congratulations to Richard from Fredericktown, who wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup.

I can be prone to wonder, full of pride sometimes I don’t make it easy to love this heart of mine I can get so distracted, caught up in doubt and fear But every time I think You’ve left me, You’re still right here
Congratulations to Bonnie of Mount Vernon for answering that those lyrics were from Cochren & Co.’s song “Who Can”. She won a $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup!
Joe’s Monday Motivation today comes from a daily devotional book he got as a Christmas gift – and today’s topic is creation:
“When times get bad, people cry out for help. They cry for relief from being kicked around, But never give God a thought when things go well, when God puts spontaneous songs in their hearts, When God sets out the entire creation as a science classroom, using birds and beasts to teach wisdom.
Job 35:9-11
In a world where such glory exists, why do we continually allow worldly concerns to occupy so much of our attention? Let God be our glory, and indeed, when we find ourselves most down, He will lift our heads up and show us all the wonders of His magnificent creation.
Todd’s devotional is called ‘The Bell,’ written by Evan Morgan, and addresses how we handle failure. Read more by clicking here.
