Today’s Mystery Box item ended up being Eddie’s ear buds…congratulations to Dan from Howard for helping me figure it out!
We also gave away our first pair of tickets to SonFest 2016, THIS Saturday at MVNU. Congratulations to Scott of Mount Vernon – he was our first winner. We’ll be doing this all week during the All-Request Drive Home. Tomorrow it’s SonFest artist trivia.

Today was Game Time Tuesday on the Afternoon Drive!
I gave you a lot of information on SonFest 2015, and you can find everything you need to know here.
Then we had today’s edition of “Where In The World Is Colton Dixon?”, and Damika from Frazeysburg called in and correctly guessed he was at Southside Diner!
We also had a stumper for Song Poetry with these lyrics:
Don’t be ashamed of your past
If you’re shattered like a piece of glass
The more broke you are the more the light gets through
The Word of the Day was aphelion, a noun meaning the point at which a planet, comet, or asteroid is furthest from the sun. You can read more on that here.
Have a terrific Tuesday evening!

Today was both National Play-Doh Day and Who Knew Wednesday, so 
I combined the two and talked all about Play-Doh on the show!
First, I gave you a little information on Play-Doh Day, which you can find here.
I shared a lot of fun facts about the childhood favorite toy, and you can find all of that here and here.
I also found this awesome page on the Hasbro website where you it shows you step-by-step directions on how to create Play-Doh masterpieces. Click here to find all 214 different creations and directions.
Our Word of the Day was velar, an adjective which describes the sound produced when the back of your tongue touches the soft palette. You can read more on that here.
I also gave you some information on SonFest 2015, and you can find everything you’ll need to know here.
Have an awesome Wednesday evening!

Today was Praise Thursday on the Afternoon Drive!
I shared some devotionals from an awesome ministry called Our Daily Bread. You can check out their website over here for tons of daily devotionals.
The first devotional I shared was titled Ordinary People, and it was all about how God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary work for His Kingdom. You can check out that devotional here and the verse that goes with it over here.
Next, I shared Seeing Beyond Loss, which was about looking to God instead of dwelling on disappointment or sadness. You can read the whole thing here. You can see the verses that go with this over here.
Lastly, I shared one that I think is VERY important to today’s society, and it’s called Web Wisdom. This devotional is all about asking for God’s wisdom and guidance before you comment something rude and condescending, or post something you know you probably shouldn’t. The whole devotional won’t be online until August, but you can find the verses that go with it here.
I told you about SonFest 2015, which will take place on Saturday, September 26th on the campus of MVNU. Tickets are on sale now, and you can find out how to get those and more information on SonFest over here.
Plus, I let you know that Michael W. Smith will be coming to Columbus this fall. He will be at Grove City Church of the Nazarene on Monday, September 28th at 7:00 pm. You can find out all the information on that over here.
Our Word of the Day was celerity, a noun meaning rapidity of motion or action, or swiftness. You can read more on that over here.
Also, don’t forget to check out all the videos our Big Blue Crew put together at the Nazarene Youth Conference in Louisville, Kentucky last week. There are 6 different videos and they are all so cool! You can find them all below: (just click on each title to watch that particular video)

Our word of the day was Yooper, which is a native or resident of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. (I like to imagine there’s a superhero who lives on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan who is named that Super Yooper)
Joe was also excited about his Soda Pop Shoppe Jelly Belly jelly beans. We tried all the different flavors – Orange and Grape Crush, A&W Root Beer and Cream Soda, 7-Up, and Dr. Pepper. If you could create any flavor of jelly bean, what would it be?
Have a great evening and thanks for listening!
