Did you know?
Hey guys, Intern Stone here, racking my brains trying to figure out something I can talk about on here that's relevant to the time of year. So then it occurs to me "Christmas Trivia". So here goes, a list (in no particular order) of at least somewhat interesting facts that are connected to the Christmas story.
1. The Magi were a hereditary priesthood who studied Astronomy, Astrology, Politics, Philosophy, and other Sciences. The prophet Daniel was made chief of this priesthood by order of Cyrus the Great (hence the whole deal with Daniel being thrown to the lions).
2. In the Ukraine, if you find a spider web in the house on Christmas morning, it is believed to be a harbinger of good luck! There once lived a woman so poor, says a Ukrainian folk tale, that she could not afford Christmas decorations for her family. One Christmas morning, she awoke to find that spiders had trimmed her children’s tree with their webs. When the morning sun shone on them, the webs turned to silver and gold. An artificial spider and web are often included in the decorations on Ukrainian Christmas trees. (www.theholidayspot.com)
3. England has only known seven white Christmases in the entire twentieth century. According to the records of the Meteorological Office in London, snow fell on Christmas Day only in 1938 and 1976.(The definition of a white Christmas in England is when one snowflake falls on the roof of the London Weather Centre in the 24 hours of 25 December.)
The last time they had a White Christmas with snow falling across the UK was 2004, although large parts of the southeast England missed significant falls. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are more likely to have a white Christmas than England.
(www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk)
4. St Francis of Assisi introduced Christmas Carols to formal church services.
The word comes from the ancient Greek 'choros', which means "dancing in a circle", and from the Old French word carole, meaning "a song to accompany dancing".
Well, that's all I have for now. Perhaps next week I'll have a few more for you. Don't forget, tickets are still on sale for the "Speaking Louder than Before" concert featuring Jeremy Camp, The Afters, Chasen, and Jason Gray. Now, here's The Almost with their version of "The Little Drummer Boy."

WAY2GIVE: Day Two
Hey guys, Intern Stone here. Just wanted to let you all know that your help with WAY2GIVE is awesome. It doesn't just end at the end of today though. You'll still be able to participate in WAY2GIVE through December 31, 2009 by visiting the website at www.wayfm.com and also by phone by calling the station at 843-529-9293.
Oh, and don't forget about the Mt. Pleasant Christmas Parade. (Details are in my previous post titled "Busy, Busy, Busy")
Since Christmas is about 2 weeks away, I thought I'd bust out something a bit more seasonal than what we've been posting lately. Here's Third Day covering "Do you hear what I hear?"

Giving Away Christmas
Hey everyone! We're all getting in the spirit of Christmas here, and I just want to share an idea with you. As I've mentioned before, Matthew West is giving a free download of his song "Give This Christmas Away"that he co-wrote with Amy Grant for the new Veggie Tales Christmas movie, Saint Nicholas. West is pushing for people all over the country to create new ideas on how they can give during the Christmas season. Here's the link to the full story: http://matthewwest.com/give-this-christmas-away/
What do you think? In what ways can you give during Christmas? I'm talking about more than just giving gifts to people. This is about a change of heart. This is about giving and maybe changing someone's life. It's definitely something to think about. Do you have any ideas?
Here's the song "Give This Christmas Away" by Matthew West and Amy Grant

And while we're on the topic of awesome concerts...
Hey folks, this is Intern Stone. I couldn't help but to chime in since Intern Charles was talking about Winter Jam. As it just so happens, Winter Jam is coming to the North Charleston Coliseum in February with a great lineup. But I digress, we have other great events even closer on the calendar.
How about that DecembeRadio concert coming up this saturday? I've had the pleasure of seeing them a couple of times live and they've always had a great concert. T Culler's got a good track record too and I'm really looking forward to checking out Sevenglory.
And then there's all the wonderful Christmas Parades coming up. In particular Way-FM is going to be in the Mt. Pleasant Christmas Parade. I'm pretty stoked about that because it's usually at night so all the floats have awesome Christmas Light decorations.
And since I'm closing out this entry on the topic of Jesus' birthday party, here's Jars of Clay's version of The Little Drummer Boy.

Winter Wonder Slam!
It seems for the past couple year TobyMac has put together a show known as Winter Jam with some popular artist. These things are amazing! There's always a great combination of artist and great merch tables. Intern Charles here and I love Winter Jam. I saw this show only once, but I wish I didn't miss the ones previous. The show was loud, flashy, and just plan fun. I went with my youth group expect just a normal concert setup but this is something different. It's so hard to describe how cool this show is, you just have to be there. The year I went there was Tobymac, Francesca, Brandon Heathe, Hawk Nelson, and Stephanie Smith.
Oh, funny story. I was walking around USC's basketball stadium and I was helping someone in my youth group get a CD. Well as I was waiting for them to get a CD, I turn around and saw Jason Dun (singer of Hawk Nelson). I turned around and shook his hand and asked if he was doing alright. He replied, "Yeah, I'm doing great! Nice to meet you but I got to get to my table." He then pushed through a crowd of people and hugged a girl wearing his shirt. The funniest thing was she didn't realize who she hugged until after he walked and freaked out.
Anyways I digress, but I encourage anyone who can to go see winter jam. Take the youth group or a group of friends. It's a lot of fun, the link for info is on the title of this blog so just click it.

It's getting cooler...
Hey everybody! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving. It's hard to believe that it's already time to get things ready for Christmas!

Also, we're hoping to get started on our NEW TOWER soon! With this new tower, we'll be able to reach even MORE of the Lowcountry! This is where we all can lend a hand. We need construction supplies, heating and cooling, block work, electrical and financial gifts to make it all come together. Are you a tradesman who can help or are you someone who has been blessed financially who can come along side us. Our financial need for this project is around $30,000. Whoever you are and however God has gifted you, it will take many to make this a reality.
If you would join us to reach the Lowcountry for Christ like never before, please call our General Manager Bret Bremberg at 529-9293. Or, you can go to wayfm.com and click on the tower to make a one-time donation!
Here are some other events going on in the Lowcountry:

Want to know something really cool? The ministry non-profit organization, To Write Love On Her Arms has been featured in Rolling Stone magazine! The article features the organization's founder, Jamie Tworkowski. He talks about what the organization is all about and he'll also talk about his life. How cool is it that God provided this great opportunity for TWLOHA?
And here's some Word on the Way for you!

The winding paths of life.
Hey guys, this is Intern Stone. I just got done reading an interesting article in a magazine about Mat Kearney.
From what the article said, Mat Kearney didn't start out having aspirations of being a professional musician, but was instead planning on going into photography and cinematography. It wasn't until one summer break he left for Nashville to record some demos and while he was there things just seemed to click for him. He even said in the article "...it wasn't a career choice. It was a passion thing."
His story reminds me a lot of the directions that my own life has taken. When I first got into college I was planning on becoming a biochemist, but after a few years that direction changed and now I'm going into radio broadcasting as well as high school education.
"Many plans are in a man's heart, but the Lord's decree will prevail"
Proverbs 19:21
And now, since I've been talking about Mr. Kearney, how about some music.

Goodmorning everyone! It is finally Friday and we hope all is well with you!
We have some interesting headlines here. First, there is apparently a new simulator video game called "Mass: We Pray" that is supposedly going to hit stores Easter 2010. There is some controversy going on about this game, and most everyone who sees the advertisement argues that it can't be real. We want to know what you think about it! Here's the link: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/61286
Kris Allen's self-titled album has been released and has shot to #1 on the pop charts for iTunes and is #4 on the overall iTunes album chart. Have you bought the new album yet? If you have, what do you think?
Tonight, Third Day should be on CBS's Late Show with Craig Ferguson. They're going to perform a few songs from their "Revelation" cd. Make sure you watch!
We also have some community upcoming events for you!
Families looking for a unique way to commemorate Thanksgiving are invited to a celebration at Peaceful Way that promises to go beyond the stuffed turkey and mashed potatoes. Guests can participate in a wide range of events including a petting zoo, period games, black powder rifle shoot, crafts and horse shoeing. Main dishes will be provided. Guests are encouraged to bring a side dish and pie to share. Period costumes are welcome.

Small Christian Group Famous?
Intern Chuck here. That's right. A sister duo makes it big on youtube, and their names are Hilly and Hannah Hindy. The videos are clean and have good humor along with great acting and talent. I wonder if they thought they would come this far? I'm not sure but they know God has blessed them with talent and they are using it for good clean entertainment. They use popular movie characters and puts their spin on them. Their Twilight parody is their biggest hit with over 1 million views within a short time. Personal favorite though is The Dark Knight video, awesome video! But all their videos are great, don't know of one I didn't like! Give them a look by clicking the blog title and you'll see their main site. Not much to say besides these girls are amazing and very talented. I'll keep them in my prayers that they can grow and maybe make their own full length movies! A lot goes into making a film; I know from personal experience. Two young ladies with a heart for God, and amazing film talent. It's awesome to see. Keep it up girls!

Wassup Wednesday!
Wassup, Lowcountry? It's Wednesday and that means you get to hear (uh...read?) what's up with WAYFM and the rest of the world today! For starters, the Battle of the Bands at Chick-Fil-A of Summerville is happening THIS SATURDAY at 5pm! The contestants will be: Unmasked, Craig Burden, Uprising, and Megan Danielle. Also, the Decemberadio, Sevenglory, and T. Culler concert is coming up on Dec. 5 and will be at Northwood Baptist Church, and hopefully you're getting really excited about that!
Today is Veteran's Day. We would like to thank all who have dedicated and given their lives for our country. Do you know a Vet.? Remember to thank them, and have a Happy Veteran's Day!
As you probably know, American Idol's Kris Allen has recently released his first single, "Live Like We're Dying". The single has been a huge hit. Now, Danny Gokey is in the studio, working on his album that is set to be released next year. He has a single titled "If Only" that should be released on Dec. 15.
It's already November, and soon people will begin to break out the Christmas music (if they haven't already!). A few artists are releasing some Christmas albums this year, including the Katinas, Sonicflood, Chris Tomlin, Family Force Five, and Mark Harris. Those should be amazing! Also, Matthew West and Amy Grant teamed up to record a Christmas song for the new Veggie Tales movie, "St. Nicholas- A Story of Joyful Giving". The song is titled "Give This Christmas Away" and is set as the theme song for the movie.
So, that's wassup for now...and to end this blog for today, we're going to leave you with Relient K's newest song, "Forget and Not Slow Down". Enjoy!!!

Never Heard of Decemberadio?
Well it's time to get acquainted! Decemberadio is a Rock/pop American band based out of Virginia. Their rocking and energetic style of music catch the ear of many and presents the message in a new way. The band was nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album and earned the group four Dove Award nominations, including nods in the Best New Artist category and Song of the Year for "Drifter." That night the band claimed their first Dove Award when DecembeRadio was honored for Rock Album of the Year, an impressive feat for a new band. Through all this their love for God has grown knowing that He blessed them with talent to help impact people and turn to God. Daughdrill pointed out that "God started to show us...that He is working in all of us. New ideas, new lyrics, new riffs just started coming out of nowhere. All of a sudden we had a couple of really cool songs, and that got us really excited about this new album. All in God's timing!" The band has been touring for quite a while and as they travel they still see the works of God and learn the various ways He can bless others. Like Reedy says, "God wants to bless us all and take us places that we never thought we'd go, and that's exactly what He's been doing with us. We're just happy and blessed to be where we are. We're enjoying the journey."
Don't forget to join DecembeRadio for the Love Can Tour with special guests SevenGlory and T Culler. The doors open at 6:30 PM $12 general admission and $15 at the door. For a little more information click the link right chere.

Last Nights Concert
Last night Leeland, Brandon Heath, and Francesca Battistelli performed at Cathedral of Praise and put on an amazing show! It was loud and packed with worship, you could feel the love through out the room. Who knew Cathedral of Praise had a coffee shop?! But I'm sure the crowd enjoyed some coffee/milk shakes and then an amazing concert. Too bad I didn't get a chance to get a mocha!
Before the show I talked to Brandon for a moment and he was talking about how much he enjoyed Downtown Charleston and it's views. So no worries everyone, he said he would definitely have to come back! Oh! The meet and greet was awesome too, everyone got pictures and met their favorite artist before the show. After the show the front room was packed with eager fans to sign their stuff. The show was so awesome my thoughts are in a loop still! If you missed this one be sure to look out for tickets for the next concert in December with Decemberadio, T culler, and Sevenglory!

Okay, so it's time for another "good news" article! No bad, scary news; the comforting, good news! Apparently, Maj. Ben Dennis, a U.S. Marine, became close friends with a dog he met while stationed in Iraq. The dog and man quickly became attached with a very strong bond. Every time Dennis had to leave the fort where "Nubs" (the dog was named that because of his ears, which had been cut down by an Iraqi soldier to make the dog look tough) was, Nubs followed until he couldn't any longer. When Dennis would return to the fort, Nubs greeted him happily. The two went through a lot together, Dennis taking care of Nubs when the dog was hurt, and Nubs helping Dennis "patrol" the area. Eventually, Dennis had to leave again, but this time, Nubs followed him all the way (70 MILES!!!) to a different camp. Through a series of fundraising and whatnot, Dennis was able to send the dog to his friends and family in America and followed a month later. When Dennis saw Nubs for the first time In America, Nubs went ecstatic. To read the full story of Maj. Dennis and Nubs, follow this link:

Battle of the Bands Winners

What is imitation crab meat?
The flaky, red-edged faux crab in your seafood salad or California roll is most likely made of Alaska Pollock. Also called Walleye Pollock, Snow Cod, or Whiting, this fish is abundant in the Bering Sea near Alaska and can also be found along the central California coast and in the Sea of Japan. Pollock has a very mild flavor, making it ideal for the processing and artificial flavoring of imitation crab. While Pollock is the most common fish used to make fake crab, New Zealand Hoki is also used, and some Asian manufacturers use Southeast Asian fish like Golden Treadfin Bream and White Croaker.
Super Granny
An elderly lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her car. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at them at the top of her voice, "I have a gun and I know how to use it!
Get out of the car you dirty rotten scoundrels!"
The four men didn't wait for a second invitation but got out and ran like mad, whereupon the lady, somewhat shaken, proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat.
She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried and then it dawned on her why. A few minutes later she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station.
The sergeant to whom she told the story nearly tore himself in two with laughter and pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale white males were reporting a car jacking by a mad elderly woman described as white, less than 5' tall, glasses, and curly white hair carrying a large handgun.
No charges were filed.
(True story!)

We want to remind everybody of the Brandon Heath, Leeland, and Francesca Batistelli concert coming up THIS WEDNESDAY at Cathedral of Praise. It should be a really amazing concert along with some really amazing worship time with our God! Also, remember that the contestants for The Battle of the Bands will be announced today! The Battle will be on Nov. 14 at 5pm at the Chick-Fil-A of Summerville. The winner of The Battle will receive an awesome Grand Prize that may knock your socks off!
So, has anyone else been seeing Christmas commercials already? It's crazy to think that it's getting to be about that time. Honestly, though, were they out this early last year? It's not even Thanksgiving yet! We can't forget the wonderful time we have at Thanksgiving. All the food and fellowship with family and friends. I love Thanksgiving with my family. We like to deep-fry our turkey, and in my opinion, that is the best way to cook a turkey. I do believe that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. What's your favorite holiday?

Alrighty, so we know that everyone gets tired of hearing bad news going on in the world, so here's a little bit of good news about a very honorable, respectul guy. His name is Brad Gaines. He played football for Vanderbilt in 1989. During the homecoming game that year, he collided with Chucky Mullins. Mullins' neck was broken, but Gaines got up without a scratch. Gaines visited Mullins in the hospital, where Mullins told Gaines it wasn't his fault about the accident. Gaines continued to visit Mullins until two years later, when Mullins died because of a blood clot in his lung. And now, Gaines visits Mullins' grave 3 times a year to clean it up, clear the weeds, talk, and pray. Gaines claims that he will do that til the day he dies. Most people that commented on the article at aol.com said that we definitely need more people like Brad Gaines in the world.

The Christian Bear
There was a man who one day didnt feel like going to church so he decided to go hunting instead.
He was out in the bush when he was aproched from behind by a bear. He dropped his gun by accident but didnt bother to pick it up.
He ran for his life. Weaving in and out the trees with the bear on his trail. Curving around a tree he triped over its root.
He looked up and the bear looked down. The bear was about to strike at him. He put his hands together and prayed:
"Dear lord, Please let this bear be a christian."
the bear sat down on its bum and held the mans hands, closed his eyes and said: "Dear lord, Thankyou for the food that i am about to recieve"

Boeing in Charleston
Piecing together Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner airplane is a task that will require thousands of local workers. And throughout the economic recession, the number of out-of-work South Carolinians who have manufacturing skills but can't find a job has swelled.
So how can people apply for the estimated 3,800 jobs that could be created during the next few years?
While the facility won't open until July 2011, company officials will begin training workers well before that point, local Boeing spokeswoman Candy Eslinger said. She did not know when the company will advertise the first positions, which will be posted on www.boeing.com/employment.
"Obviously there's no jobs posted right now," she said, "but we will be hiring in the thousands."
Tim Coyle, vice president of Boeing Charleston, would not say how many hires will be local residents, but said the labor force should include a "fair amount" of employees from Charleston and from other areas.
He also would not discuss pay, except to say that Boeing offers fair compensation based on the market.
Boeing already employs about 900 workers locally, while the neighboring Global Aeronautica plant employs about 1,600 workers.
The new Boeing facility will need engineering positions such as assembly mechanics and quality inspectors, in addition to administrative staff. Company officials couldn't provide an exact employee breakdown Wednesday.
Future employees likely will follow the screening, training and hiring process set up for Boeing and Global Aeronautica's existing facility through the state's ReadySC program. Through an agreement with those companies, the program's job screeners recruit applicants for opportunities that are posted at www.sctechjobs.com.
Applicants are evaluated based on their experience and using standard hiring programs like WorkKeys, a work skills assessment program. Those who are chosen undergo a six- to eight-week training program at Trident Technical College before starting the company's training program.
That training program has graduated roughly 1,400 workers for the two companies since the training system began in 2006.

Joke of the week
FBI agents conducted a raid of a psychiatric hospital in San Diego that was under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of reviewing thousands of medical records, the dozens of agents had worked up quite an appetite. The FBI was taping all conversations at the hospital, and this conversation took place when the agent in charge called a nearby pizza delivery service to order.
Agent: Hello. I would like to order 19 large pizzas and 67 cans of soda.
Pizza Man: And where would you like them delivered?
Agent: We're over at the psychiatric hospital.
Pizza Man: The psychiatric hospital?
Agent: That's right. I'm an FBI agent.
Pizza Man: You're an FBI agent?
Agent: That's correct. Just about everybody here is.
Pizza Man: And you're at the psychiatric hospital?
Agent: That's correct. And make sure you don't go through the front doors. We have them locked. You will have to go around to the back to the service entrance to deliver the pizzas.
Pizza Man: And you say you're all FBI agents?
Agent: That's right. How soon can you have them here?
Pizza Man: And everyone at the psychiatric hospital is an FBI agent?
Agent: That's right. We've been here all day and we're starving.
Pizza Man: How are you going to pay for all of this?
Agent: I have my checkbook right here.
Pizza Man: And you're all FBI agents?
Agent: That's right. Everyone here is an FBI agent. Can you remember to bring the pizzas and sodas to the service entrance in the rear? We have the front doors locked.
Pizza Man: I don't think so. Click.

XXXXXXX vanity plate big hit — with tickets
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - "Racer X's" vanity plate just does not compute in city computers, causing him to rack up about $19,000 in tickets.
Scottie Roberson bought a vanity plate with seven X's to pay homage to his racer nickname. But that causes a bit of a snafu when parking patrols put the plate into the system. Officials usually put seven X's in place of the number for cars without license plates.
Roberson says the mix-up has led him to get as many as 10 tickets in a day.
Hulk Hogan Returns To The Ring!
Hulk Hogan is refusing to let that wrestling career of his die!
Hogan is all signed up to be a wrestler for TNA Wrestling, the new wrestling organization created by beefcake cable network giant Spike TV.
Isn't the Hulk a little on the old side to be prancing around in spandex???
Hogan is "thrilled" to be joining TNA, according to a statement the former WWE wrestler released.
He says:
"My fans have been asking me to return to the business for many years on a full time basis, but the timing or the opportunity has never been right until now. TNA Wrestling is a great company with an already excellent fan base and business. I firmly believe now is the time for TNA to jump to the next level in their development and I’m here to help make that a reality."

Random Flair of the Day!
Don't know if you've heard the story behind the picture on the piece of flair. Louie Giglio was at a conference, and a man came up to him and they started talking. Giglio confided to the man that he wanted to find something new and different to talk about in his conferences, and the man suggested to him that he talk about "laminin". The man was a scientist. Giglio had no idea what the man was talking about, so the man told him to look it up on google. Laminin is the molecule that holds our bodies together. It's in the shape of a cross. Just as Christ holds the Body of Christ together. Isn't that cool??

Just another Marvelous Monday....
Today is Monday. The first day of the workweek. Usually, people think that Monday is an awful day. There is no light at the end of the tunnel on Monday. It's just the beginning of a loooong week, and all you want to do is crawl back in the bed and sleep the day away. Today is one of those kind of Mondays. The weather in Charleston this morning doesn't help at all either. It's rainy....the temperature outside is in the 60's....it's just a good lazy day......
But we're going to change that. We want today to be marvelous. Instead of complaining about how we don't want to do the things we have to do today, we should do those things with a joyful heart. Hey, you were able to wake up this morning, right? Life is amazing! Put your day into a new perspective. Instead of getting annoyed with certain tasks today (we are all guilty of this), why don't you complete that task as efficiently as you can, and have a happy heart? I'm sure after reading all this so far, you now have "Whistle While You Work" in your head. :-)
Let's take a different approach. You just got finished with the weekend, right? Well, what did you learn? We asked our friends on facebook any life lessons they learned over the weekend, and here are some responses:
"I'm not a mistake!!!!!!!"
-Tracie Clark
"Jesus is the Truth...there is no gray area"
-Patricia Agar
"We need to always remember to praise God even in troubling times, not just when something goes right."
-Karen Dowdle Wells
"God give me strength to do what I need for His glory!"
-Heather Vanderzel
"That God will never fail you, and can show up when you least expect him to"
-Elizabeth Marie Pangalangan
"When the ice cream cake directions says thaw in the fridge for 30 mins before serving - it doesn't mean 3 hrs. before serving."
-Kelly Creed Gordon
"to rejoice and be glad!"
-Sherry Weatherford Hammon
"When all else fails, fall on the Lord and he will redeem you!!"
-Jennifer Redmond
"God is always working no matter what we believe or what we don't believe"
-Gerald W Duke
"That family and friends are so important.life gets so busy sometime we forget."
-Kenny Thurston
"Everyone better get prepared because Jesus is coming soon."
-David Jennifer Carey
"That u can run from what God has called u to do for only so long but u will have to eventually give in."
-Sandy Mills Hiers
"The great feeling I received from giving myself to others in sharing hope and faith in the prayer tent at the "convoy of hope" in North Charleston. Thank you Lord, it's exactly what I needed..."
-Tim Montgomery
So, if you learned any life lessons this weekend, let us know! If you don't want to le tus know, that's cool too, but the challenge for you is to put those lessons to use. You'll probably feel a lot better if you do! Have a Marvelous Monday!

Friday: Obama, the moon, and Random Flair Of The Day!
Hey everybody! Good Friday to you! What's been going on the world? Well, for starters, our station was not on the air this morning due to technical difficulties, but that should be fixed now, and we apologize for not having some really awesome music on the radio for you. Apparently, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. There's some controversy going on about whether he deserves it or not. Plus, people are arguing that it's too soon for him to win it as a president, since he's only been in office for a few months. NASA is going to shoot a rocket into the moon in search of water....uh-huh.....
It's Random Flair of the Day time!!!!
And, hey, we want to know what's going on in your life! Comment and let us know. If you have prayer requests, we'd like to know so we can pray for you!
Also, we want feedback from you about music! What's your favorite song?

Wassup Wedensday!
Howdy! This is the special Wednesday blog unofficially declared Wassup Wednesday?! So, wassup? Well, we have a few announcements.... :-) First, we'd like to remind EVERYONE that if you won a prize during our Fall 2009 Pledge Drive, please please please come by the station and pick it up within the next 30 days.

And, also, here's some Scripture for you. We all know that a little bit of God's Word can make your day go from atrocious to absolutley wonderful!
