Coming back from Younglife Camp and getting back into a semi-normal routine has been a change in itself. And if anyone […]

Potty Talk

Potty Talk

Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings The bathroom has become our sanctuary, an isolated booth where we can discuss freely the issues of the day. Free from distractions, free from interruptions, specifically from a particular one year old baby sister named Elliott. I’m speaking of our four year old grandson, Owen.

When You Know He’s the One

When You Know He’s the One

Amy Austin 89.5 KVNE Evenings How do you know He is “the one?” I remember my mother telling me, “you’ll just know.” Well, that was not the reply I wanted. I wanted to know without any doubt or question and I wanted something tangible. But when I eventually did fall in love with my husband, […]

Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings Is it really important to spend time with God every day? God knows how busy my life is, so if I just toss up a few quick prayers that should be enough, right? It’s so easy to let life crowd out time for prayer and Bible reading. That’s why I […]

Under God’s Nose

Under God’s Nose

Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings It’s easy to go through our days and not think about God. We’re busy with jobs, family, and responsibilities.

Stop the Madness!

Amy Austin 89.5 KVNE Evenings Okay, okay I have a messy house! I was in a “not-so-great” job before I came to KVNE/KGLY and I may have not paid enough attention to the junk that evidently piled up. Not only the clutter in my home, but my mind became cluttered as well. Clutter, stress, and […]

~Susan O’Donnell  from  Middays at 89.5 KVNE He stepped through the gate and suddenly he was in a different place.  Nothing looked familiar and sounds, sights and even smells were nothing like what he’d experienced in his ‘other life’ before coming here.
