What is your go-to verse? The one you find yourself quoting the most? For us, we have a family verse, Deuteronomy 6:4-9: "Love the Lord your God...teach [these words] diligently to your children." My personal verse (Tim) is Isaiah 40:31, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength..." But the verse I find myself quoting the most to myself, my family, and those around me is...
Fear. Despair. Hopelessness. The words themselves can fill the heart and mind with a sense of impending doom. As we look at the situations around us at home and abroad, it could be easy to succumb to the negative thoughts that could easily overwhelm us. So how do we overcome those thoughts without a "stick your head in the sand" mentality?
Music is powerful! Not only can the lyrics of a good song get right to the heart of a matter, the instrumentation can evoke a strong emotional response. The combination of the two can have either a positive or negative effect on...
Thank you for your faithfulness and care! The staff at WRGN is constantly remarking how wonderfully faithful and caring the listeners, supporters, and volunteers of the station are and we want you to know how much we appreciate you!

The calendar pages appear to be turning quickly and the things that we celebrate quickly move from "the road ahead" to the rear view mirror. What is it about us as humans that makes us want to mark the milestones like birthdays and anniversaries?
"To boldly go where no man has gone before." You probably recognize that phrase from Star Trek, first aired in 1966, and then in many iterations through the years. That phrase crossed my mind last month as we once again watched NASA land a rover on Mars. The successful landing reignited the conversation of putting a man on Mars. It's certainly a place where no man has gone before, especially considering the 6 months it takes to get there, even in a rocket ship!
As many of you know, I recently went away to Idaho for a Men of Radio retreat. For the past two years, the man who hosts this Christian retreat has been encouraging me to go, and Heather has as well. However, I have hesitated... partly because of the word retreat!
Early warning signs. How often do we see them and not pay attention? It may be something simple like "REDUCE SPEED AHEAD" or "HIDDEN DRIVEWAY." In my case, I have been known to ignore them all together. I have driven past more than one "ROAD CLOSED" sign, only to find out the road really is closed!
