We told you all the information on how you can win tickets to see TobyMac with our Feel It, Film It contest. You can find all the info on that over here.

Then, we played Buzzword, and Matt from Mount Vernon was our winner with the word “pick”.

We played song poetry with the lyrics:

We’re never given the spirit of fear
Only the power of love
We’ll keep on running and not grow weak
His strength is more than enough

Nathan from Granville called in and correctly guessed that those lyrics belong to Impossible by Building 429.

Today was Game Time Tuesday on the Afternoon Drive and I had 2 rounds of Song Poetry!

Julie from Fredericktown picked up two tickets to see Chonda Pierce on her Focus on the Funny Tour, by correctly guessing that the lyrics, And it’s a fight for my attention/I’m being pulled every direction/This world tells me trust what I can see/Lord, won’t You help me/Believe what I believe, belong to Love & The Outcome’s song, King of My Heart.

The second round of song poetry featured these lyrics:

We’re never given the spirit of fear
Only the power of love
We’ll keep on running and not grow weak
His strength is more than enough

We had a stumper with that round, so those lyrics will come back for next week’s Game Time Tuesday.

The Word of the Day was quotidian, an adjective meaning everyday or ordinary. You can read more on that here.

Remembering leaders in Knox County (GTT 8/18 show)

STUMPER for Song Poetry/Game Time Tuesday today…do you know these lyrics?

Will you show me?
Reveal yourself to me
Because of your mercy
I fall down on my knees…

It’s coming back next week.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Edith Foster this past Sunday and talked a little bit about this on the show today.  Edith and her late husband, Dale, were incredible people and supporters of many community efforts, including helping bring MVNU to Knox County in 1968.  The Foster Award for MVNU senior student-athletes still bears their name, as does the new Foster Hall in Ariel Arena.

Over the last week, Knox County has lost some very servant-minded people who cared about this community and were invested in it.  Mr. Jim Imel, former principal at Mount Vernon Middle School and longtime scorekeeper for MVHS and Kenyon athletics, Shirley Fletcher, former Knox County Commissioner and Interchurch supporter, and Mrs. Foster.  Marcy and I are thankful for the chance to, even if only for a little while, meet and rub shoulders with these fine people.  They’ve left a legacy for those of us who love this community to follow.

Word of the Day – IMPREGNABLE…an adjective describing something unable to be captured or broken into, unable to be defeated or destroyed.

Thanks for listening!

We used the lyrics:

     Don’t think you need to settle for a substitute
     When I’m the only love that changes you

Have a terrific Tuesday!

We played Chris Tomlin Song Poetry with these lyrics:

Vernon quickly called in and guessed that those lyrics belonged to Chris Tomlin’s song At The Cross (Love Ran Red) to win a pair of tickets to see Chris Tomlin at the Knox County Fair on August 3rd. We’ll be playing Chris Tomlin Song Poetry on the Afternoon Drive and Morning thing all this week and next week for your chance to win a pair of tickets, so make sure to keep listening.
