Manager’s Memo 1-14-22

It may feel like you are sitting still right now, but you are not. You are on a planet that is rotating on its axis at 1,000 miles per hour. Like clockwork, it makes one full revolution every 24 hours. And if that isn’t amazing enough, planet Earth is moving around the sun at speeds approaching 67K mph! so the next time you feel like you’ve had an unproductive day, remind yourself that you did tra

As you start out your new year, I’d like us to keep something in mind. Subtly. I’m not talking about sneaking around. I’m talking about the way things creep into our lives. It’s like a growing plant or child, all the sudden, they’re taller. It’s the same with our thoughts and habits. Nobody just jumps into an extramarital affair right away, it starts subtly. More and more screen time is usually a

There are 3 things you can count on in the coming year. They are NOT new years resolutions you can make or something you can buy. As Paul closes his first letter to the Corinthians, he reminds them that all the gifts they’ve received are worthless without the wrapping of love. He reminds them what love is and what love is not; reminds them even on their best days, they were childish, because they

Manager’s Memo 12-16-21

Excuse me ma’am, where’s the line to see Jesus? A little boy asked a lady that was in line to see Santa Clause. He continued “Is Jesus here at the store? Santa Clause brought me presents but Christ gave His life for me?” She looked away and pondering this for a moment before she responded, but never got to. The boy disappeared. Christmas, the celebration of Emmanuel, God taking the form of man, le

Your God IS GOOD. David talks about how He feels about you in Psalm 100. It is He who made us and we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever. Are you hearin’ it? You are His. Everything you have, is His. We’re just taking care of it for Him. As w

Maybe the secret sauce of life isn’t being strong. Maybe it’s being there for each other because, come on. Who really has it all together these days? This is a reminder to stop telling yourself or someone else to “be strong”. How about instead “be free”, free to be a mess one day and a warrior the next? It’s ok to be all over the place. We’re not robots. God created some of us with more emotions t

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

Manager’s Memo 9-10-21

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. Researchers out of University of California Davis found that couples can actually coordinate their heart rat
