Trusting God during the storms of life. This is Katie and her husband. They are faithful WAY-FM listeners. I met them at a WAY-FM show this weekend and Katie shared that WAY-FM was her lifeline a few years ago when she was diagnosed with cancer. She is so young, so full of life, I can’t imagine how hard that time was when she learned that she had to battle such a deadly disease. She said… … Continue reading

You know that moment when you are upset and you just DON’T want to talk about it. That is how I felt this morning when Wally started harassing me and demanding to know what was wrong with me.

BE CONTENT! (I’m Preaching to the Choir)

7-year-old writes Lego complaining about its lack of toys for girls I love the spunk of this little girl! Next time I need something done I’m going to recruit her!

Even 7 years old can make a difference! … Continue reading

Live life to the fullest. You hear this saying all the time and even see it plastered all over home decor, but how do we really do it? I think the grandma dancing in this video gets it!

They are reaching out and finding amazing ways to truly show love on their community… … Continue reading
