Sharathon Day 3

This is the view during my time of Sharathon. Thanks for your support of 88.3 The Wind. It's my passion, and my calling.

Sharathon Day 2; School Day 1

God granted us a great day of extravagant giving yesterday. As we start out this morning, we are praying that others feel released and free to give.

This picture was taken as Mason started his very first day of Kindergarten. I share, because as I was tagging on facebook, I got the opportunity to place all of Mason's family that I know, and Mason's extended family at 88.3 The Wind. That is a great number of people, but Mason is special to us. Mason has a story. A journey that has already seen more than its fair share of twists and turns and miraculous feats. It is a story that would take a long time to tell...Yet, one day, something tells me, you will hear it from him, as he tells of God's greatness in his life. He is a walking miracle, and we love him. So, we celebrate! Yay for Mason!!!!

Sharathon Day 1

Oh no! I took the picture but forgot to upload it last night...This is my friend, Phil Wickham...A few years ago, I met Phil in Johnson City, TN, as my son, Jay, was just weeks old. Phil has some amazing music, and I thankful to say that Phil and his wife are now awaiting a baby girl, Penelope...and it was fun to be around him again and to share with him our baby news. Baby number 2 is coming for us Jan. 22...! So, may God continue to bless Phil's career and give him lots strength and peace as a Daddy.

Rebuild Richmond!

***This is not my picture; not my post. I'm sure that the earthquake was actually a bit scary. Growing up in Tennessee, and knowing many who are in the Richmond, VA area...I'm not sure what that would feel like or what would go through my mind. However, I love good comedy, and I wanted to share this with you because every time I saw this picture, it just made me laugh like a little kid. Well done, famousdc.com and http://jmckinley.posterous.com/dc-earthquake.***

Thanks to all of you for your kind words of support, as we look to recover from the devastation of today's quake!

Morning

Took this to remind me why I was up so early this morning. Got a call from Mike Russell, our Program Director at 88.3 The Wind, to say that our transmitter was down. So, action plan! We went out to the transmitter site to see what the issue might be. This is what we saw...lots of red lights. Not good. And right before our fundraising celebration, too. Curve ball. Thank goodness for great men like Rick Jesse, our engineer, to diagnose and heal the situation.

UPDATE: Red Lights are now gone. Looks like we had a brown out situation, and it blew one of our large fuses. However, the good news...88.3 The Wind is back up and at 'em! Thanks for your prayers!
