Manager’s Memo 5-18-21
Image by janrye from Pixabay Because the chicks dig it. My phone threw this one at me the other day, a country song that I downloaded years ago apparently. Though I can’t agree with his reasoning, I have to admit I’ve been guilty once or twice. I also kind of like the chorus lyrics, though I like to think my calling is a littl ... Read More14February

Manager’s Memo 02-14-2019
When I stopped by the new home of the Journey this morning, they were finishing the trim work and updating the lighting. I took pictures, of course. They are posted on the website and on our Facebook page. Carpet is next and then we begin building a small production studio so we can stay on the air while we dismantle our current studios and move them over. That won’t happen until after Sharathon i ...

Manager’s Memo 02-08-2019
When I stopped by the new home of the Journey late last week, they were putting a fresh coat of paint on everything. Carpet follows that and then we begin building a small production studio so we can stay on the air while we dismantle our current studios and move them over. I’ll be ordering much of the equipment this week for the new studio. We should also have an estimate for a new program comput ... Read More25January

Manager’s Memo 01-25-2019
The angel of the Lord found him in a winepress, beating out wheat. He said Gideon, I have chosen you to save Israel. Gideon responded I think you have the wrong guy, Lord. I am the least in my family, which is of the tribe of Manasseh, the least of the tribes of Israel. The Lord said I will be with you, which even today, means the deed is already done. Gideon called the tribes together and when Go ... Read More02January

Manager’s Memo 01-02-2019
As Paul closes his first letter to the Corinthians, he reminds them of their unity in the Body of Christ; reminds them they each have different gifts, none more important than the other; reminds them those gifts are worthless without the wrapping of love; reminds them what love is and what love is not; reminds them even on their best days, they were childish, seeing the world dimly through the mir ...

Manager’s Memo 12-26-2018
2019, just a year from 2020! I’m old enough to remember when we worried about the Y2K bug and the end of the world when all computers would grind to a halt. Seems humorous now, knowing there is more processing power in the cell phone in my pocket than any of those computers. How many more times since then have we heard about the end of all things? The children of Israel were embattled by Babylon a ... Read More01December

Manager’s Memo 12-01-2018
The Christmas season is upon us again. Wanda and I are looking forward to a few days off spent with our kids. I’m looking forward to doing no homework. As the holidays do for many of us, I’m feeling a bit nostalgic, thinking about loved ones both past and present and longing for a celebration when we will all be together again. I’m reminded God feels the same way about us. This Christmas season we ... Read More19November

Manager’s Memo 11-19-2018
David says in Psalm 100 know that the Lord is God. 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 loves endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. As we celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends, don’t forget to be ... Read More31October

Manager’s Memo 10-31-2018
Three states. A twenty-five-page final paper and starting a new doctoral class. Grading for midterm grades in two classes. Sharathon aftermath. And my wife up North with the grand puppy for time with her family. All in just a few weeks. My life seems a little silly sometimes. One of my favorite bible accounts can be found in Mark, chapter six. The chapter opens with Jesus preaching in His hometown ... Read More05October
