Manager’s Memo 11-22-21

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 ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 11-11-21

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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 9-2-21

Change can be … challenging. It can also be very rewarding. Change can be devastating… it can also help us grow stronger. Change can be all of the above. You might not have known it on this side of the radio, but there has been a lot of change in the building. Some of it has been challenging, like taking on the role of General Manager. Some of it has been devastating, like saying goodbye to Mike a ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 7-30-21

In the words of Michael W. Smith “everyday we pass them by, empty people filled with care, headed who knows where”. I was just going about my normal day, taking a nice evening walk, when I heard a cry for help. Honestly, had the evening planned out and didn’t want to be interrupted. Maybe you know the feeling. But the cries were following me and I couldn’t ignore them. Was tempted to say “why me” ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 7-16-21

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 ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 7-27-21

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 ...

Manager’s Memo 6-4-21

“I’m sorry, Mr. Agee, that’s not a leaky water pipe in your ceiling. It’s condensation from the AC line. I’m a plumber. You’ll have to call an HVAC company to fix that. That will be $75.” “I’m sorry, Mr. Agee, you really should replace those tires before you leave on your trip. That will be $914.” “I’m sorry, Mike, but I need those assessment reports and faculty rosters before you leave.” “I’m sor ... Read More
