Game Time Tuesday

Game Time Tuesday

Today, Joe and I returned to the show after having missed a few days for our WNZR Leadership Team retreat. It was Game Time Tuesday and we played song poetry with these lyrics:

          And this is who You are, more constant than the stars

          Up in the sky, all these years, all my life

Katie from Mount Vernon called in and correctly guessed that those lyrics belong Colton Dixon’s song, Through All Of It.

We talked about the new Hillsong UNITED movie, Hillsong: Let Hope Rise, coming out later this year. The movie, which hits theaters September 30th, follows the rise to popularity of the Australian-based worship band. You can check out the trailer and find more information on the film by clicking here.

We also did a little recap of our WNZR retreat, where we really focused on finding our identity in Christ and letting God build His Kingdom in our hearts, so that we can then go out and build His Kingdom in the world. A great song that really stresses this idea is Build Your Kingdom Here by Rend Collective, and you can check out the video for that over here.

Plus, we shared some information on our WNZR Fireworks Viewing Party that is coming up THIS Friday, July 3rd. You can find out all the details on that event here.

Our word of the day was exacerbate (not to be confused with exasperate). It’s a noun that means to make more bitter or severe, or to make a situation worse.

Have a great week!

Game Time Tuesday

Today was Game Time Tuesday and WE FINALLY GOT A BUZZWORD WINNER!!! We had a three-week stumper with the word “Bill” and Heidi from Bellville called in and was our winner!

Our word of the day was sclaff, which is a verb that means to scrape the ground instead of hitting the ball cleanly on a golf stroke.

Have a terrific Tuesday and make sure you come see us tomorrow at the Centerburg Heart of Ohio Days Festival!

Take Dad To Dinner

On today’s Afternoon Drive, we gave you everything you need to know about our Take Dad To Dinner promotion.

With Father’s Day coming up in just under 2 weeks, we want you to tell us why you love your dad and why you want to take him to dinner. Just go over to our website (click here) and click on the Take Dad to Dinner banner for the entry form. Then, on Friday, June 19th, the Morning Thing will share some of these messages on-air and then draw 4 lucky dads to win some awesome prizes! Each winning dad will receive a $25 gift certificate to Jake’s Restaurant located on Coshocton Avenue in Mount Vernon. They’ll also get an NIV Bible and will have the chance to choose 2 prizes from a our special Father’s Day prize stash, courtest of Gospel Supply Shop, including:

  • The book, “A Father God Blesses”
  • A perpetual calendar with 366 inspirational messages
  • The CD “Dad: A Son’s Greatest Hero, A Daughter’s First Love” featuring songs from artists like Sidewalk Prophets, For King & Country, Mark Schultz, and more of your favorite artists
  • The CD “Sometimes It Takes A Mountain” by the Gaither Vocal Band

It was also Game Time Tuesday and we had a Buzzword stumper with the word “Bill”.

Our word of the day was pica, which is an abnormal desire to eat substances that are not normally eaten, such as chalk. Joe read a little bit from an article about pica that we got from kidshealth.org. You can check out the entire article here.

Thanks for listening and have a terrific Tuesday evening!

Sing Something Nice

(This was supposed to post last Tuesday, but never did- so here it is. Oops!)

On today’s Afternoon Drive, we had a continuation of yesterday’s Say Something Nice Day, and decided to share some song titles that say something nice.

While many songs may say something nice, we stuck strictly to song titles that say something nice.

We looked through the WNZR song library and found a bunch of song titles that fit this theme:

God Gave Me You – Dave Barnes

God Is Watching Over You – Phil Joel

God Loves You – Rachael Lampa

Great Are You Lord – Philips, Craig and Dean

He Sends His Love – Point of Grace

I Will Be Your Friend – Michael W. Smith

I Will Be Here For You – Michael W. Smith

Jesus Loves You – Stellar Kart

Lean On Me – DC Talk

Thank You For Being My Friend – Kim Boyce

We Need Each Other – Sanctus Real

Wish You Were Here – Mark Harris

You Are Loved – Rebecca St. James

You Are So Good To Me – Third Day

You Will Never Walk Alone – Point of Grace

You’ll Never Be Alone – Capital Kings

Your Love Is Strong – Jon Foreman

We also looked at Billboard’s All Time Hot 100:

You Light Up My Life – Debby Boone

We Belong Together – Mariah Carey

I Do It For You – Bryan Adams

I Just Want To Be Your Everything – Andy Gibb

I Want To Hold Your Hand – The Beatles

I Will Always Love You – Whitney Houston

I Love You Just The Way You Are – Billy Joel

You’re Still The One – Shania Twain

Nothing Compares To You – Sinead

Waiting For A Girl Like You – Foreigner

Joe also let me share some of my favorite song titles from my teeny-bopper years that say something nice:

We’re All In This Together – High School Musical

Hello Beautiful – Jonas Brothers

Can you think of any other song titles that say something nice? Let us know which ones we may have missed down in the comments.

It was also Game Time Tuesday and we played Buzzword. Our Buzzword was “egg” and Faith from Mount Vernon was our winner.

We also played song poetry with lyrics from one of our songs that has a title that says something nice:

“Well, I don’t know why it doesn’t come easy, but I know that we could be happy, if we’d only learn to love”

Melissa from Mount Vernon correctly guessed that those lyrics belong to the Sanctus Real song, We Need Each Other.

Our word of the day was chivy, a verb that means to tease or annoy with persistent petty attacks, or to tell someone repeatedly to do something.

Have a terrific Tuesday evening!
