Manager’s Memo 12-04-2015

I’ve been waiting for more than three years to tell you this and the day has finally arrived. After lots of starts and stops, two engineering firms, environmental and wetland studies, confirmation of ancient burial ground locations, bird flight paths and checking boxes on pages of government forms, 88.3 The Journey is preparing to build a new tower and replace our 27-year-old antenna. Our present ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 11-29-2019

The Christmas season is upon us again. My sister came to visit Thanksgiving week. At one point, Wanda got out all of the pictures we brought home after my Mom’s passing and cackled with glee as we look at photos from our past. Now it has me feeling a bit nostalgic, thinking about loved ones both past and present, and longing for a celebration when we will all be together again. God feels the same ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 11-20-2015

Webster defines thankfulness as being aware of a benefit received, well pleased and expressive of those facts. David agrees when he 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; ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 10-30-2015

Water was dripping from the top door into my master bedroom, a feature most bedrooms don’t have, with good reason. This past week, we found the small thing done in the dark that soaked a wall of my master bedroom, ruined a door, some carpet and sheetrock and left a two square foot hole in the ceiling of the hall leading to the bedroom. Apparently, when this room was remodeled, long before my wife ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 10-16-2015

Wanda and I are headed to Idaho this weekend to be part of the 25th anniversary celebration gala for the radio station we helped build in Boise in 1990. It will be good to be back among friends two decades in the making, wandering around some of our favorite spots, marveling at the changes five short years have wrought. And to celebrate what twenty-five years of sharing God’s goodness means to a g ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 10-02-2015

A friend sent me an email after Sharathon I thought was perfect. Congratulations! Y’all had me worried for most of Thursday evening and the first part of Friday morning. God does work in mysterious ways and this time he chose a roller coaster with a last minute E-ticket plunge to success. Exactly, John. What a ride! More than 500 listeners contributing more than $125,000! Thank you so much f ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 09-25-2015

Much has happened in a year. It was this week last year when my mom’s battle with cancer ended. Fortunately, I believe cancer doesn’t have the last word. Scripture tells me I will see her again and I believe that to be true. Thank you again for your prayers, your messages of encouragement and expressions of concern for my family and me. It is a wonderful thing to be surrounded by people who love y ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 08-28-2015

I love this time of year. New beginnings are in the air. Kids head back to school with new backpacks full of fresh pink erasers and pencils with no teeth marks in them. Our campus is awash in proud seniors who are now hesitant freshman, with a tinge of nervousness in their eyes, unsure of where they belong or what they should be doing. And at 56, I’ll have to admit to a little nervousness and hesi ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 08-05-2015

In a few days, Wanda and I will celebrate 33 years of marriage. We’ll probably go all out to celebrate with a trip to the Perot Nature Museum and Taco Bell on the way home. I’ll be the first to testify thirty-three years of married life is nothing short of a miracle from God. Five step-dads and abuse as a child doesn’t prepare you well for long-term relationships. Yet Wanda saw in me something wor ... Read More
