While many see today as the very dreaded TAX DAY, I can’t help but feel giddy. Well, for one reason, the hubby already did our taxes for us (first time doing joint tax return, oooo). But the bigger reason is that this chica has officially been part of KVNE and KGLY for 1 Full Year! […]
If it isn’t wedding invitations coming in the mail, the baby announcements are plastering your fridge, right next to your grandkid’s zebra drawing and the reminder to go to the dentist in 2 days. As exciting as it is to have a friend, child or sibling welcome a new life into the world, you have […]
It’s prom season. My beautiful daughter, Kristin, will be going to her senior prom in a few weeks. She and her friends are dress shopping today. For the girls going to prom tonight, you already have the perfect dress and you’re in a last minute rush of updos, makeup and mani/pedis and finding the perfect […]
Dear family and friends, I want you to know that I arrived okay. Please do not be sad because I’m out of sight, And, remember that I’m with you morning, noon and night. When I got here, my host greeted me and said, “Welcome. It’s good to have you back again. You were missed while […]
It’s called PraiseShare and it’s the time of year when KVNE/KGLY suspends regular programming to encourage listeners to give to the ministry. It’s the way the stations fund the rest of the year budget. So, if you’re not used to a noncommercial station and have mostly listened to the ones that play loads and loads […]
Today’s morning show topic caused me to take a hard look. God is telling me to let go of the things I love. My plans? Turn them loose! It’s all His! And He promises that if we’ll take delight in Him, He’ll give us the desires of our hearts. I SO needed to hear that!
10-year-old Josh was really missing his dad. He’d been gone seven months, missing the everyday stuff that fathers and sons share. Talks, playing catch, just hanging out. It’s hard on a kid that age, even if he has a big brother to turn to. He tried to be strong for his mom, too. He’d hear […]
Do you want to be a wise woman who uses her words to build up those who listen? It’s so easy to fall into that trap of tearing people down. Without realizing it sometimes, or maybe even intentionally, we criticize and judge others. Wendy Pope shared a Proverbs 31 lesson that hits home with many […]
The IDEA of sleep is a beautiful thing, but it actually happening is a completely different story. You have too much on your mind, the temperature’s off, work went a little longer than expected–these and more are just a few reasons why you and I probably struggle with getting the much needed 6-8 hours of […]
I got a chance to see the movie God’s Not Dead during its opening weekend. It was powerful, poignant and convicting. The movie centers on an atheist philosophy professor who tells his students if they write “God is Dead” on a piece of paper and sign their name, they will pass the first portion of […]
Okay, I’ve had this question a lot lately! “Where did you go?” I’ve been off the air here at KVNE for a couple of weeks so I do understand the question. Here’s the answer. First, I went to Las Vegas to be part of a Sharathon (it’s like a Praise Share) It’s something I do […]
You hear that? It’s a mix of cheers from runners and power-walkers everywhere…with a hint of screams from those who can’t STAND exercising. With the weather warming up more and more each day here in East TX, the one’s who’ve been avoiding exercise behind the “It’s too cold” excuse are almost in need of a […]
I was driving to work the other day – I drive 70 miles one way – and I noted a milestone on my speedometer. It rolled to 130,000 miles. Seven thousand miles since November. I’ve gotten good at the drive. God has taught me patience. Over and over. After four months of driving through small […]
Ever had one of those mom mornings that you have to vent about with another mom? Someone who gets where you’re coming from? Chores left undone. Waking kids up for the 5th time then rushing to work because you ended up doing their chore for them? Motherhood is not easy. It’s hard work! It doesn’t […]
Kirsten got an unexpected blessing after her breakfast out with a group of friends. She thought her party might have disrupted a quiet couple dining near them, so she picked up their tab. Well, her pay it forward gesture did more than possibly ease a financial burden. She found out why when she read a […]
The day just draaaaaged on for you. The last thing you want to do is spend even 20 minutes in front of a stove trying to cook dinner, even though the next-door neighbors probably can hear your stomach grumbling over their TV. Well, a man by the name of Percy Spencer created something that can […]
You’ve reached the point in the Spring Break week where “things to do” have run out, and the words, “I’m bored” are just on the edge of the children’s lips!! No need to hyperventilate, because a book may be in y’alls near future. I know, I know, I have my nerd tendencies, so suggesting a […]
It seems to be the least-liked day of the week: Monday! Now, you may be the minority of the crowd and actually look forward to Mondays, every week. But it seems that the overwhelming feeling about the day can best be expressed by a big groan, with a hint of, “really?” thrown in. So how […]
I’ve been in Tyler now for about a month. It’s a great town and everyone has been so friendly. The experience, however, hasn’t always been easy– For me, or for Tyler! I’ve already met three of Tyler’s finest. First, for listening to my GPS and turning onto a One Way street that wasn’t going my […]

When it comes to a good deal, I do my VERY best to try to get to it. Today proved to be a fail in that department. Lunch time came, and seeing that my sweet 7th grade lady from Wyldlife and her friends had the day off, the idea of lunch out was tossed around. If […]
