Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings As the fourth of five siblings, it was the perfect family placement. Many find disadvantages in being the oldest, the youngest, or the middle child. I am none of these. Therefore, I have no complaints. Four out of five ain’t bad. My three older sibs were all born within a […]
JJ Heller’s “This Year”
We’re already a few days into the New Year and maybe you already need a little motivation! That’s exactly what JJ Heller’s song “This Year” is all about…and is cute as all get-up.
The 3 Rs: Remember, Remind, Rejoice
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings Remember Remember what God has done. Think back when He spared you of injury in that near accident. Recall His grace when He provided that unexpected check during a tight month. Remember His mercy when you fell away for a season but He took you back with open arms. Remind. […]
First Day Hikes
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings My husband and I love camping. One of our favorite parts is enjoying God’s beauty: the lakes, the wildlife, and the hiking.

The Delicious Gift of Love
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings People give at Christmas. It’s a wonderful time. Much of what is given is food. Delicious food. Sweet, tasty, delicious food. Terrible, unhealthy, artificial food. I get the heart behind it. Nothing says “I care about you” like a big tray of assorted cookies. Homemade fudge. Cake. Brownies. Mass quantities […]
In Case You Missed It…
Amy Austin 89.5 KVNE Afternoon Drive Time KVNE artist Chris Tomlin sang “Good Good Father” and “O Come All Ye Faithful” on Good Morning America! I was getting ready for work and I heard it on my television. I ran to the living room and saw what was happening. ENJOY! I wanted to make this […]
Creating Holiday Traditions
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings In the busiest season of the year, it’s easy to get caught up in all there is to do…the parties, the choir practices, the shopping. The thing is when we look back at Christmases in the past, these aren’t the things we remember. It’s the time spent with family, those […]

What Are You Focusing On?
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings Do you ever feel like you and your spouse are so busy, you’re like passing ships? I had some things to go over with my husband, and we’ve been so covered up lately I decided to set up a meeting time to get together. I made a list of all […]
The Manger Nametag
Susan O’Donnell 89.5 KVNE Evenings I bought this great Christmas card a couple of years ago. On the front was the hand of an infant and when you open the card there was an adult hand with a single nail print in it. I love that card. Of course Christmas is about the birth of […]
Christmas is the Best!
Susan O’Donnell 89.5 KVNE Evenings Christmas is just the best time! The first Christmas I spent in the first house I’d bought on my own I found myself sitting and watching the lights twinkle on my Christmas tree… the star shining on the top and the fireplace burning and crackling. It made me think about […]
Don’t Give Up on Your Dream
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings Don’t give up on your dream. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but we know all about today. It’s here. Now. Plan, but don’t over-project. Stay faithful to your day to day. Don’t overthink it. As your past grows longer than your future, your long-term tenacity will build momentum […]
What’s YOUR Red Sea?
Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays Growing up Lutheran, each of the 4 Sundays leading up to Christmas made me so excited as a kid. The reason was that someone would always get the chance to light the Advent Wreathe at the front of the church to symbolize another Sunday of the Advent Season, and I […]
1 Corinthians 13: Christmas Style
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings 1 Corinthians 13: Christmas Style Audio If I decorate my house perfectly with lovely plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights, and shiny glass balls, but do not show love to my family – I’m just another decorator. If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing […]
Beautiful Destruction
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings A gorgeous Crepe Myrtle adorns our front yard. Set at the middle of our house, it makes a handsome centerpiece for maximum curb appeal. However, My Lovely Wife and Life Partner Lois has recently voiced a desire to remove it. In her view, it had begun to take over. I […]
Christmas Songs 2018!!
Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays Okay, I’m not going to list out all of the Christmas songs we’re playing this year (because if my math is correct, we have around 350 songs in rotation this year – whew)! BUT, there are always a few new ones we add each year, some familiar tunes (with a […]
Don’t Say ‘I’ll Pray for You’
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings I’m only half kidding. Praying is good. We all need it. We all need to do it. And it’s good to offer it to others. But be careful. It can be an easy cliché. A throw away, a meaningless phrase, a form of Christianese with about as much sincerity as […]
Look! Up in the Sky!
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings It’s a bird — it’s a plane — it’s SUPERMAN! Yes, it’s Superman. Strange visitor from another planet with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman! Who can change the course of mighty rivers and bend steel in his bare hands. And who, disguised as Clark Kent, […]
What are You Expecting?
Susan O’Donnell 89.5 KVNE Evenings The world was a silent place, waiting for a word from God who had been silent for 400 years. They needed a King, a warrior to fight their enemies for them and to sit on an earthly throne that would make them rulers themselves of the land, life and people […]

Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays If you’ve been a listener for awhile, then you probably are aware that we’ll be flipping the switch into the “ON” position when it comes to all Christmas Music on the afternoon of Thanksgiving. But We didn’t want to do that without giving you the last new songs of 2018! […]
