Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings I love how nature points us to God’s beauty, His creativity, and His love. Have you ever really looked at a daffodil? That kind of color and detail could only come from our Creator. It tells us in the Bible God created plants on the third day. God said, “Let […]
National Single Parent Day
Amy Austin 89.5 KVNE Evenings I know I’m a little late, but this is certainly still worth celebrating! In 1984, President Ronald Reagan officially designated March 21 as National Single Parent Day.

Be Prepared for God to Change You!
Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays I’ve always been a planner! Since I was a kid I had ambitions and goals: to do well in school, get scholarships, go to college, and have a job. Mind you, these were thoughts I had since about 4th grade – planning out life while other girls planned what outfit […]
On Your Phone too Much? This Can Help!
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings Do you ever feel like you can’t live without your phone?

God In the Moment
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings Jesus is always “in the moment” with us. Even when Lazarus died, He knew He was going to raise him back to life. But He took time to be with Mary and Martha, even cry with them. In the midst of my chaos, whether I acknowledge Him or not, He’s […]
Get Thee Forth and Sparkle!

5 Seconds of Awkward Can Save You…
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings I have a 22 year old son, so when I saw this video by Duck Dynasty’s Sadie Robertson, it really hit home. We often give advice to our kids and we get the classic eye roll or “I know, Mom!” Sadie is relatable and her ideas come from the perspective […]

Time to Spring Forward
Amy Austin 89.5 KVNE Evenings This Sunday it’s Daylight Saving Time, ugh! It’s that time when we set our clocks forward by one hour.

Random Acts of Kindness
My Friend Fletch 89.5 KVNE Weekend Nights It seems like we are always so fast to criticize and so slow to show appreciation and gratitude when people do nice things just… because! This came across my Facebook News Feed and I just had to share! Here’s a post from the Van Zandt News: “A few […]
Try to Watch and Keep a Straight Face!
Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays Babysitting since the age of 12, I know kids can do some crazy things (see the episode of Full House where DJ is babysitting the kid who gets his head stuck in the banister)! So it’s no surprise that parents’ lives are full of surprises…like this one for this dad. Seriously, […]
He’s Walking Again
Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays Almost 10 years ago, our family was rocked with the possibility of losing my uncle Frankie from bad complications with his Crohn’s Disease. With doctors giving us 50/50 chances on treatments and surgeries he was going through, it made our family feel a little lost, afraid, and definitely uncertain! That’s probably how […]

Teach Me to Number My Days
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings I’ve recently joined a church praise band as a drummer and I learned “Live it Well” by Switchfoot. It’s an incredible song and reminder that God has us here for a purpose. Every time you wake up in the morning, He has you here by design, so do whatever you […]
One Way to Please Picky Eaters!
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings The humans in my house can be very picky eaters. The dogs, on the other hand, will eat just about anything). Having picky eaters means making a lot of the same things. Making a lot of the same things means they get tired of the same old stuff. Since the […]
God Puts a Spring in Our Step
Susan O’Donnell 89.5 KVNE Afternoons I am a farm girl, so I can’t help it that spring is definitely my favorite season. There are so many lessons to be learned in nature as spring resurrects the plants and buds and flowers and gives new birth to animals. I love this time of year, except for […]
