The Music ‘Heart Revolution’

Today’s Monday Motivation comes from author Bill Crowder and reminds us of the power of music. It can change the direction of our attitude and our day. It can give us great hope when we’re feeling down. It also started a revolution in Estonia!

Read more here with Bill’s devotional from Our Daily Bread.

Today’s Family Feud-style question:
If you lived in the Sahara Desert, name the top two things you’d have to get used to…

1- the heat
2- sand

4- insects
5- wind
6- squatting

Congratulations to Peter from Howard, who guessed those top two answers and wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup.

Day of Prayer and Praise! Who Knew Wednesday for Lifeline 2021!

Joe and Lexie praise God for Lifeline 2021’s Day of Prayer & Praise!

They share many testimonies from listeners, and praise God for another chance to celebrate with Lifeline 2021!

our theme this year is Keep Me In The Moment, and we share a lot about how we can stay in the moment.

Lexie in particular shares a devotional about how Every Moment Matters.

Joe talks about toasters! (Trust us it makes sense.)

Sometimes being in a service medium you may feel like a toaster, you’re expected to do what you do and do it well consistently, and it is only when you have hiccups or don’t perform well that you get noticed. Maybe you feel like a toaster, but God likes his toast however you make it! So thank you, for being in the business of serving others!

  • I was born March 24th, 1976.
  • I grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana.
  • I am a former NFL Quarterback
  • My favourite football player growing up was my dad
  • My favourite college football fight song is rocky top.
  • My father and my younger brother were also in the NFL
  • I have the most AP MVP Awards, with a total of five!
  • I have two super bowl rings

Answer: Peyton Manning!

Congrats to Jenny from Mount Vernon for guessing correctly and winning a $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup!

Walking Taco Wednesday!

We know, we bent the rules a little bit…

Lexie and Joe talk about Walking Tacos today for Who Knew Wednesday!

“Walking Taco” or “Taco-in-a-Bag” aren’t actual tacos, but are Midwest names for the Texas dish called “Frito Pie”.

The “walking frito pie” began in Knoxville, Tennessee, at the 1982 World’s Fair. Petro’s Chili & Chips established a booth at the Fair. The Fair’s theme was “energy,” and the product was originally named “Petroleum Belly.”

The “walking taco” quickly became popular at other fairs in the midwest during the 1980s and 1990s!

if you’d like to read the full article, you can read it HERE!

We also covered this cool new design for a completely digital Taco Bell Drive-Thru! Read the full article HERE!

  • I was born on March 17th 1919 in Montgomery, Alabama.
  • When I was four years old, my family and I moved to Chicago, Illinois, where my father became a Baptist minister.
  • When I was 15, I dropped out of high school to pursue a music career.
  • I, along with my brothers performed in a revival of the musical Shuffle Along.
  • I was the first African American to host a television variety show.
  • Some of my most popular songs were Smile and Mona Lisa.
  • I died at the hospital early in the morning of February 15, 1965 of lung cancer.

I am Nat King Cole!

Congrats to Ava of Howard for guessing correctly and winning a $5 Gift Certificate to Everlasting Cup!
