Manager’s Memo 11-10-2019

Thank you for your support of 88.3 The Journey. We are praising God for almost $65,000 in listener gifts—62% of our goal, helping The Journey share God’s love with people all over North Texas. I am so thankful for your support of this radio ministry! God uses your generosity to remind people of His great love for them every day of the week. It seems we all need His message of love more than ever. ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 11-04-2019

I’m sure some of you won’t be shocked to hear this since you know it to be true, but recently, people have been looking at me like I may have slipped around the bend mentally. It seems to come immediately after this question. “What are you going to do since you didn’t reach your Sharathon goal?” Perhaps it is my answer. “Why, I’m going to run around with my hands in the air yelling woe is me becau ...

Exactly three years ago, we were waiting for concrete to dry at the base of what would become our new tower and antenna. The antenna parts arrived a few days later during Sharathon and our new antenna began to climb into the sky the week after. This summer, we moved into our new building after months of remodeling and studio building. And today, I received notice an updated version of our smart ph ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 08-30-2019

Beginnings and endings. Seems I am surrounded by them. I am days from completing my last doctoral class. All that will remain is completion of my capstone project. These final assignments have been filled with reflection on the program, what I have learned, how I have grown and changed over the course of the last two and half years on the way to becoming Dr. Agee. Reflection on beginnings and endi ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 08-09-2019

Last Thursday, Wanda and I celebrated 37 years of marriage. That morning, she told me she loved me. We prayed together. She put the dog in the car. And drove away. That’s how couples who have been married thirty-seven years celebrate anniversaries, at least this couple. She headed to Michigan, to spend time with her 89-year-old mother. Been trying to get her up there every few months, because time ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 07-27-2019

Once again, it’s time for me to say thank you. What a wonderful turn out for our open house! So many people, so much positive energy and response for the new building. So many of our Gideon’s Army members stopping by to see the space and meet the staff. It is pretty wonderful to see your response to the new space, as well. And a big thank you to those who brought along extra refreshments to add to ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 07-23-2019

One of my favorite lines from a movie comes from the classic Wizard of Oz. Dorothy and her friends are before the mighty wizard again, this time with the witch’s broom. Toto pulls the curtain back on a grizzled old man in front of a microphone. “Ignore the man behind the curtain.” I thought it was funny when I was a kid. Now I’m the grizzled old man behind the curtain, hoping you don’t notice me. ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 07-05-2019

It’s amazing what a few days of rest and relaxation with friends and family will do for you. As much as I love the Journey and being a professor, it was nice to set it aside for a few days. Now it’s time to get back to work. First thing on the to-do list is finish unpacking boxes, decorate and move all the way into our new space before the big event. You may ask “What big event, Mike?” Why our off ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 06-14-2019

Greetings from my new office in the Journey’s new building! Wanda, Giselle and Danae have been busy unpacking boxes and getting stuff put into their new spots. I’ve been mostly leaning against ice packs and supervising. Apparently 60-year-old managers shouldn’t be lifting heavy objects and crawling around on the floor like a teenager any longer. Lesson learned. And thanks to the folks at Greater H ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 05-24-2019

88.3 The Journey has a new home. Granted, it is a home full of boxes and stacks of stuff, equipment still waiting to be plugged in, wires to be run and connected, in all three studios, and sound treatment to go up in two studios. Still lots of things to do, and I‘m still uncertain it will all fit. Who knew we had this much stuff? But the important stuff is working and we are still praising God thr ... Read More
