Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings From time to time we all run into somebody that works in customer service who seems to be having a bad day, or maybe they’re just not doing things the way you might do them. I hate to admit it, but my first reaction is usually “what’s their problem? I […]
Stop What You’re Doing for 10 Seconds
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings Now think about your day. Your week. Your year so far. Is there anything burdening you that seems insurmountable? I’m guessing there’s a good chance there is. Okay, you may need to stop what you’re doing a few more seconds because this could be huge. Whatever your issue, whatever your […]
Thank You for Your Valentines!
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings Hey, it’s Carrie from the KVNE Morning Show. I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for the Valentines that YOU made for kids in the hospital and seniors in assisted living centers! We had an amazing time yesterday delivering those valentines. Mike and I went to a lot […]
The Day That Changed Everything
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings My wife Lois and I had just settled down for the evening. It was a Sunday night and we had to be up early for work in the morning. We had only returned home to Tyler, Texas, a week earlier from Cincinnati, Ohio. Though it was good to see family […]
God’s Blueprint
Susan O’Donnell 89.5 KVNE Evenings I don’t know about you, but more often than not, when I pray for something to change, I already have a plan for God to follow. Few times can I say that He has followed my well-crafted plan. Instead, while ultimately I get what it is God wants me to have, […]
Heart-Hitting New Music
Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays I don’t know about you, but sometimes songs will just make me cry. Not that they’re horribly sad or bring on a funk. A lot of times, the message is such a powerful one, that I can’t help but get choked-up. And the thing is, that’s NOT a bad thing! […]
Surrender
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings When you’re a kid, playing army, mud ball fights, or one-on-one basketball, there comes a point when there’s a clear winner. The opposing side must, willingly or not, acknowledge defeat and surrender. But we’re not kids anymore and we have real battles to fight. We have family issues. We have […]
When God Made a Farmer
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings With the Super Bowl coming up, I’m actually not thinking about which team will win. I’ve got food and family on my mind. What snacks will I make? Should I invite my brothers over to watch the game? Of course, there’s the game itself, and the commercials. We all love […]
Age-a-Phobes Anonymous
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings I’ve finally come to grips with it. I had to reach rock bottom before I could admit I needed help. I’m a raging age-a-phobe. Nobody likes “getting older” unless you’re 5. Then you can’t wait to be 6. Six year olds would love to be 7, and for seven year […]
I Was Raised Methodist (Not Really)
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings I was raised in a Methodist Church. Not literally. I was raised in a white, middle-class, midwest suburban home, but we OCCASIONALLY attended a Methodist church. I didn’t even know what that meant. To a large degree, I still don’t. All I knew was we went to Groesbeck Methodist. I […]
Forgiveness
Susan O’Donnell 89.5 KVNE Evenings What is the verse most of us want to forget? Could it be the one in Matthew 6:14-16? “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your […]
Hitting the Goal or Missing the Most
On a trip to the mountains in Vail for some skiing and snow shoeing with friends the first of this year, I strapped a pair of snow shoes on and headed for the peak of one of the mountains. It was going to be a fairly easy four miles up to 10,000 feet in the powder...

The Attitude is Gratitude
Susan O’Donnell 89.5 KVNE Evenings As we get started on a new year, our easiest way to get in the right attitude is to make life about gratitude! Feeling bummed because you didn’t stick with your New Year’s resolutions, or because the new year hasn’t proven to be all you hoped, isn’t going to make […]
When You Want to Stop Praying
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings Prayer is one of the most important ways we connect with God. There are times, though, that no matter how faithful you are to God and how strong your walk with the Lord is, prayer is just hard. So hard, in fact, you may want to just stop praying all […]
2019 Music: Let it Begin!
Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays And just like THAT, 2019 showed up on our front doors! Hopefully this New Year has started out on a solid foot, with goals and dreams a plenty. I know one of our goals here is to, as best as possible, bring you new music that keeps you going throughout […]
Don’t ‘Friend’ Yourself to Death!
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings Are you “too nice”? James was a friendly guy. He had more than his share of friends and he was admired by many. His problem was he didn’t know how to say no, and his calendar showed it. He was booked solid. Too often he was double booked. He was […]
Doing a New Thing!
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 Happy New Year! OK, I know, we are already well into the new year, but here’s something about a new year that makes […]

Pray for Natalie
Amy Austin 89.5 KVNE Afternoon Drive Time Christian artist Natalie Grant had a panic attack during the holidays while on a plane with her daughter. The singer just finished a Christmas tour with Danny Gokey and then went straight into the holidays. She said the attack might have been a result of her busy schedule […]
Count Your Saturdays
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings Fortunately, I woke up with ample rest. This was essential. A 24-hour stint with our grandkids was on the schedule and it was an active one at that. We were looking at a two-hour drive to the Polar Express, plus the ride itself, the drive back, an overnight dance party, […]
