Songs, Spelling and Strawberry!

Today’s Song Poetry featutred these lyrics:

You’re parting waters
Making a way for me
You’re moving mountains that I don’t even see

The song? “Still” by Hillary Scott and the Scott Family. Congratulations to Tim of Mount Vernon who wins the $5 gift certificate to Troyer’s of Apple Valley.

Today we also brought back the Spelling EEB, where you spell a word backwards in 30 seconds.  Our topic today was baseball, since Darryl Strawberry is speaking tomorrow night in the MVNU chapel to kick off the North Central Ohio District Nazarene Family Camp Meeting.  It starts at 7:30!  Click here for more information.

The word today was shortstop – congratulations to Brenda from Mount Vernon who won the Troyer’s certificate.

Thanks for listening!

Well, Merry Christmas from our family here at WNZR to yours!
Today for Game Time Tuesday, Eddie Dilts and I got back in the groove with Game Time Tuesday! We played Song Poetry and Name that Tune!

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the food, and it wouldn’t be the Afternoon Drive unless we shared some recipes now would it?
With food, naturally, comes leftovers. Here are a few delicious and fun ways to use up those Christmas leftovers!
Triple Chocolate Peppermint Kisses 
Ham Filo Roll
Ham and Rice Chowder

Now, I don’t know about you, but my dog is very important to me, and I would do anything to keep her safe. The same thing is the case with Natasha Wallace. She rode her bike with her 70-pound pit bull in her backpack to keep him safe from a neighborhood fire. Wow that’s awesome. Read the whole story here.

Thanks for listening!
