Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings I’m nowhere near an expert…yet. But after five years of being “Pops,” I’ve learned enough to offer a few tips on what it takes to be “Grandpa,” “PawPaw, or whatever moniker you’ve chosen as family patriarch.

Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings Have you ever noticed that when we focus on the negative, it can put us in a bad mood? Often when my husband and I are in the car together, we get home and he gets out of the car and goes straight inside without waiting for me. I started […]
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings My husband is a great story teller. Our family loves to hear his stories about growing up and all the fun things he did with his mom, dad and sister.

Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays Only a few more weeks for families and teachers to enjoy the summer sun and some type of body of water (even in the form of a kiddie-pool). And I know it’s been HOT in East TX, with temperatures reaching the triple-digits, but hopefully you’ve found ways to escape […]
Most of us think of ourselves as morally okay. Not bad ethically, maybe even better than most in terms of character. Even if we suffer with occasional self-esteem issues, if asked, we would say we’re basically good. I believe this is partially due to a self-preservation gene that kicks in. We don’t want others to […]
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings Just before I left on our KVNE/KGLY mission trip to Guatemala, a sweet friend stopped by and left me a card. The card was so pretty, with a beautiful flower on the front and words that read “Friend, you are a blessing.” Inside, the handwritten note said “As you prepare […]

Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings I really wanted the title to be “Top 5 Church Catch Phrases that Sounds Funny When Taken Literally,” but apparently that was too long! It’s not easy being a literal guy. It can drive friends and loved ones crazy, especially in the church world. Taking things literally can be exhausting, […]
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings Don’t you love it when the kids say “I’m bored”? I usually tell my son to be thankful for that. Our kids could have our exciting lives of working, paying bills, trying to raise Godly kids. Is every day just the same? Same drive to work? Same routine at night? […]
Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays They’ve been itching for a few days now, part of the healing process. But if you were to look at my legs right now, you wouldn’t think the scratches and bruises they’re covered in would ever heal (or at least they’re going to have some gnarly scars for awhile). So […]
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings Hey, it’s Mike! Ya know, one of the biggest lessons we can learn is actually one fo the simplest and my grandma taught me this, maybe yours did too! Count your blessings! Name them one by one. They even wrote a song about it! But I find if I’ll sit […]

Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings I am not a cat person. But I can’t think of a time when I didn’t have a cat. Usually multiple cats. Although I’m not a cat lover by trade, I do love some people who are. Among them are my wife, my daughter, and my sister. Having pretty much […]
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings Please take my advice. Take a five-year-old to the beach. I guarantee you’ll be glad you did. If you don’t have a five-year-old, get permission and take somebody else’s. It’ll take time, but time is essential to the bonding required to fully retain the life lessons. It actually doesn’t even […]
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings I want to go to Liverpool. Crazy, I know. But I’ve wanted to go all my life. I don’t know why, other than the fact I love the Beatles, and they aren’t even there. Their remnants are. Their statues, tour routes, and memorabilia are. The history of the band is […]
