Manager’s Memo 10-14-21

Though we wish that 2020 was completely in the rearview mirror, the aftershocks have followed us into 2021. But you know what else has followed us? Hope. Hope is powerful. Hope helps us say with confidence “Yes He Can”. If you’ve listened to 88.3 The Journey for even a little while, you’ve noticed how God uses the music and messages on this little radio station. You have the chance, du

Manager’s Memo 9-23-21

How you spend your time is directly related to how you will feel. Have you ever gotten done watching a movie or scrolling on social media and been like, well that was a waste of time! Don’t get me wrong, me-time is important but 7 hours of free time can feel as bad as having hardly any free time at all. In fact, according to a recent study out of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 3

There’s just something about it when someone comes alongside you when you’re going thru something. Can’t quite put your finger on it, right? You don’t want their money. You don’t want their polite pity. It’s just about having … a friend. Someone who KNOWS you on your good days and bad days.

When life knocks the wind out of you, and nothing is helping, where do we turn? It was about 9 years ago this month that my eyes started involuntarily darting back and forth right when I was trying to finish my last Master’s class. Friends came and read my textbooks to me as I lay helpless on the couch, not able to walk or see very well. I remember wondering if my life was over. I knew I had some

It’s amazing what a few days of rest and relaxation with friends and family will do for you, especially for me as former General Manager Mike and Wanda Agee make a transition to a radio station in Washington D.C. My world will never be the same after Mike sat down in my office at 2:30pm that Wednesday afternoon in May. Since then, I’ve gone through the stages of shock, anger and grief. And it’s co
