Hello!

It was another morning of Radio Tradio!  The phones were on fire and it was FUN!!  People gave and received washers and dryers and bunk beds (lots of bunk beds!) and a TV and a pack & play and a dishwasher and the list goes on and on!  WOW!!  Thanks to everyone who called us with the items they could donate to someone in need.  Isn’t that what it is all about? 

Did you hear about the idea for Benton County Employees to work a 4-day work week?  They want your thoughts on the idea, so tell them!  Their website it:  http://www.co.benton.ar.us/

Have a great day!  It’s going to be a warm one!  Be safe!

Love, Jen

Hi!

This morning we talked with Debbie Rambo from The Samaritan Community Center about KLRC Cares: Back to School.  With 1,250 backpacks still to be filled, we are extending the deadline from this Friday (the 25th) to Wednesday the 30th (close of business).  You can drop off your items at any Marketplace Restaurant (Fayetteville, Rogers or Springdale), the KLRC Studios here in Siloam Springs OR…if you are doing this as a group or church, we’d be happy to pick up your items at your place of business or worship!  Just let us know!  My email is jen@klrc.com. 

We also talked with Donna Partow this morning.  She is the guest speaker at next week-end’s Gathering in the Ozarks.  For more information, ladies, visit:  http://gatheringintheozarks.org/.

I still have a few So Cool Mom www.socoolmom.com car decals left if you’d like one!  First come, first served!

Have a great day!!

Hello and Welcome to Radio Tradio!  We spent the morning taking calls from people who had things to trade or just give away!  In fact, we heard from someone who had a side by side refrigerator to offer!  Was one listener thrilled about that!  With a family of 6, she said they weren’t getting by with their small fridge.  To add to the excitement, Mark gave away his faux wood shelf.  We think it’s a piece of French furniture since faux is a French word!  HA!  Here’s a picture of him parting with it! 

Moms, check out this website  www.socoolmom.com.  Kate on Jon and Kate Plus 8 wears their shirts!  I love them, too!  I have 5 car decals to give away!  Email me at jen@klrc.com and let me know you want one!  First come, first served! 

Have a great evening! 

Love, Jen

Happy FRIDAY!

Looking for a way to give back this week-end?  KLRC Cares: Back to School is in full swing!   A list of needed school supplies is at www.klrc.com!  We are hopeful that we’ll be able to fill 1,500 backpacks with school supplies.  Wouldn’t it be great to send so many kids to school next month with a new backpack, new supplies and a smile?  Marketplace is our drop off location and Friday is the deadline.

The Jack Ryan Gillham Foundation Golf Tourney is tomorrow in Huntsville and YouthCAN’s Community Imagination Studio is open tomorrow from 10AM-4PM.  This week’s theme is Japan!

Have a wonderful week-end!

Hello!

We decided to take a break from the our regular newscast at the top and bottom of the hour and decided to ask YOU to rewrite the headlines!  What is YOUR good news?  Here’s what we wrote and read in place of the normal news! 

Have a wonderful day! 

Jen

The price of gas is up,

So is the cost of food,

We’re fighting a war in Iraq,

And the banking industry doesn’t look good.

 

We’ve got foreclosures

Companies going under, too!

Did you hear about the Euro?

Me neither, but I’m sure it’ll make us a bit blue.

 

So this is the deal…

We’re going to change up the news a bit today!

We’ve got good news for you,

And we want to hear what you have to say!

 

Have you had a “Go God” moment?

Have you felt Him close and near?

How has He told you lately that now, more than ever,

You are so very dear?

 

The good news today,

Amidst all the yuck,

Is that we serve a sovereign God

This isn’t all about luck!

 

God is bigger than the price of gas,

The price of milk, too!

Don’t know where your child will go to school next month?

Don’t worry!  It’s not up to you!

 

He knows it all!

Has it all under control!

We aren’t in this alone…

We aren’t going to fall.

 

Greet today with a smile!

And the comfort of knowing too!

That you serve a mighty God!

Do you have any idea how much He loves you?

Hello!!

We shared this and I thought you might enjoy it:

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.  The wife said, “You should do it because you get up first, and then we don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee.  The husband said, “You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.”  Wife replies, “No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.”  Husband replies, “I can’t believe that, show me.”  So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says…HEBREWS!

And we talked about Couch Surfing… http://www.couchsurfing.com/ …What do you think?  Would you do it? 

Have a wonderful day!!

Jen’s off helping out at the Beau Foundation golf tournament and luncheon today, she’ll be back tomorrow morning!

Congratulations to Sherry Smith of Springdale.  Sherry cares for her two grandsons, one of whom has Cerebral Palsy.  Thanks to Poor Richards and the Rabbit’s Lair in Rogers, Sherry will receive a check for $50 as part of single-mom-stress-buster.

This past weekend Steven Curstis Chapman went back out on the road.  A friend of mine had a chance to be there and sent  me this note:

Dear Mark,

 

Last night’s Steven Curtis Chapman concert in Fremont was a beautiful night of worship.  SCC started his part of the show with just him on the piano.  From the very beginning he was obviously a man dealing with immediate loss in his family but he shared it in a way that encouraged you to find the good that God is trying to show you through the pain

 

Early in his show he explained that he hoped he’d never just gone through the motions of singing his songs without meaning every lyric.  But, since May 21 (the accidental death of his daughter), he’s had to reevaluate each and every song that he sings on stage to make sure that he could still sing every song as an offering of worship to God.

 

In the intro to “Cinderella” he talked about writing the song for his daughters, especially the youngest ones.  He talked about how even though the timing of his daughter’s death was shocking, God knew all along how many days she had on earth.  He said to say that her ‘time on earth was cut short’ would be wrong if we really believe our God is soverign.  He went on to say that his ‘dance with Cinderella’ may be paused, but it will resume before too long! 

 

Both his 17 and 18 year old sons were playing with him in the band.  An AWESOME part of the show came when SCC introduced the sons and the crowd litterally gave at least 2 minute + standing ovation(at a deafening level).  Talk about pure encouragement!

Over the weekend the Michaels family celebrated Kyra (6) and Keagan’s (4) birthdays… Mom and Dad learned why you don’t try share a cake and candles… Keagan blew out a few more than expected

Happy FRIDAY!!!

This morning we surprised Heather in Jay with $101 in Family Fun $$$!  She told us that she would use the money to travel and watch her daughter play basketball.  She told us that “because of our family situation right now, it is impossible for us to afford the gas to be able to go watch her play.  I have to send her with other families and it just breaks my heart.  Each time she calls to tell me the scores of the games and how many she scored, I cry when we hang up.  I hate not being able to be there for her.”  Heather’s daughter’s next tournament in next week-end in Springdale and Mom will be there to watch it!  God is so good!! 

We also gave away 2 Family Passes to Fun City in Springdale.  Each Family Pass includes dinner, drinks and a mere 200 tokens!  http://www.funcitypizza.com/  More Family Passes will be given away today during both the lunch hour and the drive home. 

The Vype (Formely High School Sports the Magazine) 7 on 7 Tourney is this week-end at the U of A.  If you’d like more info, visit:  http://www.vype.com/westernarkansas/general/2343

Have a great week-end!
