Cari and I went to Kids Festival at the Visalia Convention Center. Cari played “Ryan Seacrest” on the mainstage all day long and introduced the many local kids who display they’re amazing talents.
One of those kids was 11-year old Savannah Blaine. Savannah kicked the day off by hitting the National Anthem right out of the ballpark!
That’s some stellar singing right there! I had a chance to talk to Savannah’s mom and she was so proud of Savannah because she’s had to overcome some health issues work on her musical talents.
You have the opportunity to talk about the amazing things your kids does and how much you love them everyday with KDUVfm’s Family Name Game. It’s really simple to play. At 7:45am and 4:45pm, we announce a name. If it matches the name of your son or daughter, call 877.530.5388 and you could be the winner.
You can find a list of names were announcing at this link.
Who knew America would face a new epidemic in the form of bed bugs??? Dr. Oz says it’s because of the decline in pesticide usage…or something like that. The part I care about is that they could show up in my bed, drinking my blood. (Have bed bugs and the makers of Twilight planned this as some sort of sick marketing plan? Just a crazy thought.)
My sister mentioned this once and said their house got infested, but things never sink in when she says them (because I feel like she’s just mothering me again). Shame on me for not paying closer attention to her, and for sleeping in her bed-bugged-house, without a care in the world.
We just got a great note from Janet at the Fresno Rescue Mission. I could explain the note but I’ll just let you read it for yourself. Here’s an advanced warning: God is good
Well… God took our 60 turkeys and definitely multiplied them. We received a donation of 840 turkeys yesterday! God takes what we have, determines what we need, and He supplies the rest. We’ll be able to reach out to the community in a big way this year. Thanks for getting the ball rolling for us!
I think that speaks for itself. Feel free to add your thoughts in the comment section below.
OCC is a ministry put together by Franklin Graham’s organization, Samaritan’s Purse. Shoeboxes filled with simple gifts are collected at locations all over the country and they’re sent to children living in poor situations in third-word countries.
I don’t know about you but every single time I watch the trailer for the new movie The Blind Side starring Sandra Bullock, I’m moved to tears.
It’s the true story of Michael Oher, a kid who was growing up on the rough streets of Memphis. The Tuohy family, a well-to-do family from East Memphis adopted him, enrolled him in a great Christian High School, and encourage his love of football. Michael went on to be a first round draft pick by the Baltimore Ravens NFL football team and this year is his first season.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a movie about what it means to literally pour yourself into another person. My wife works at our church and the whole staff at the church is going to see the movie on Monday afternoon.
It’s the week before Thanksgiving and there’s a good reason we put it up this early. We’ll be leaving for Christmas vacation early on December 17th and Linny wanted to have some Christmas cheer in our home for more than 2 weeks. As soon as we get back from Virginia, we’ll need to take it all down.
Is there a particular time your family puts out all the decorations?
