Question: Impossible for today was: Who wrote "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others"? (Answer at bottom.)

Today we talked about Barack Obama's new limo. Here are some facts:

... The limo has 8-inch-thick doors.
... It features a completely sealed interior to ward off a chemical attack
.... It has it's own codename: Stagecoach
... Every communication capability will be at Obama's fingertips: phones, satellites, the Internet
... From the inside, says a former Secret Service agent, it's like being in a sound-proof cocoon. Everyday noises will be gone.

Wonder about gas mileage?

See ya Thursday!

Answer: George Orwell in Animal Farm

First off, the Question: Impossible for today was: what was the first minimum wage in the U.S.? (Answer at the end...)

A New Year's Blessing

May God Make your year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;
Not by taking hardship from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;
Not by making your life always pleasant,
But by showing you when people and their causes need you most,
and by making you anxious to be there to help.
God's love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.

After talking about Apple president Steve Jobs illness yesterday, a bag of apples appeared in the office refrigerator today (no kidding). Hmmm, thank you gift or coincidence?

And I leave you with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JHS8adO3hM

WOW!

Answer: 25 cents per hour. The minimum wage was first introduced in 1938, it hit $1 in 1956, $2 in 1974, $3 in 1980, $4 in 1991, and $5 in 1997.

Apples weren't helping Steve Jobs. (The kind you eat anyway...)

First off, here's the photo I took while on the air in the 5 o'clock hour. (Yes I promised, didn't I...)

Good thing is - My phone takes pretty good pics.

Bad thing is - I'm in it. (I have a really round head.)

Well, first day back on the air in the afternoon went by without incident. Remember this is interactive radio so don't forget to call or you can e-mail me at ed@thelight959.com or drop me a line at facebook under Ed Franklin.

Tim Kidder and I talked about Steve Jobs' hormonal imbalance. Jobs says the imbalance has been "robbing" his body of the proteins it needs to be healthy. Everything that was mentioned in the press release was VERY non-specific about his condition. Strange. Can you say "cover-up"?

Also we didn't mention it on the air but congratulations to Angie who used to be our secretary at the station and who now is the designer of our website on the birth of her new baby girl this past weekend. Mother and baby are doing fine. Good night and GO BUCKS!

Hangin' with Jim Burni

Please pray for the Chapman Family...

MARIA SUE CHAPMAN, DAUGHTER OF STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN,
DIES IN ACCIDENT AT FAMILY HOME

NASHVILLE, TN...5/21/08... At approximately 5pm on the afternoon of Thursday May 21st, Maria Sue Chapman, 5 years old and the youngest daughter to Steven and Mary Beth Chapman was struck in the driveway of the Chapman home in Franklin, TN. Maria was rushed to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital in Nashville, transported by LifeFlight, but died of her injuries there. Maria is one of the close knit family’s six children and one of their three adopted daughters.

More than five years ago, Chapman and his wife Mary Beth founded The Shaohannah’s Hope Ministry after bringing their first adopted daughter, Shaohannah, home from China. The ministry’s goal is to help families reduce the financial barrier of adoption, and has provided grants to over 1700 families wishing to adopt orphans from around the world. Chapman is a five-time GRAMMY ® winner and 54-time Dove Award winning artist who has sold over 10 million albums and garnered 44 No. 1 singles.

The Power of Prayer

2008-02-28T11:46:00.002-05:00

This past Sunday, our church began "100 days of prayer". We have pledged to pray 10 minutes a day everyday. For our church, our country, each other. In addition our Pastor, Pastor Joseph (what a great guy, by the way) had us start "Prayer Triplets". That is, three members of the congregation, preferably those who don't know each other very well, getting together once a week for 30 minutes to pray and share and dig deeper into each other lives. I, as an Elder, am leading one of these starting tonight. I covet your prayers for this, so I can be an example to my prayer partners.

Exciting, huh?

Scary too...

Most of us have this "filter" where we selectively lets bits and pieces out for others to see. But some things, for whatever reason, we can't or won't share and are kept on the other side. You hear the term "transparent" kicked around alot in the church. "Oh, he/she is so transparent!" But what does that really mean? I think true transparency is letting everything show. The good, the bad, the ugly... That is rare in everyday life. It might be a stretch to think we can be like that to everybody. But for God? Yes. In your prayers to the Holy One? Yes.

How is your prayer life? Are you being "transparent" to the One who matters?

Blessings,
-Ed

40 days in the wilderness...

2008-02-07T13:39:00.000-05:00

Well, the season of Lent is upon us. Had a great Ash Wednesday service yesterday at our church. This is a season of repentence, reflection and renewal. It's also a season a sacrifices. My wife and I have decided to join a group of individuals in our church who are fasting for forty days. I say this not to boast, but to ask for your prayers for the strength and willpower it will take for my wife and I during this journey. Beyond the obvious side-effects (hopefully weight-loss) this will be a cleansing of the soul and time for a deeper relationship with God. They say the first few days of this will be the hardest. I'll try to keep you posted.

What have you chosen to relenquish for the Lord? I'd love to hear from you.

-Ed

I Guess We Should Start This Thing...

Well I had a REALLY fun time subbing for the ill Terry Lee this morning. Like I said on-air, I hope I didn't ruin the show too bad for him. I always have fun working with Suzie AND I didn't fall asleep (you see, skate night was last night and I was there too and morning came quickly and well, you know...)

Another child has a loving partner through Compassion this morning. Thank you. You can see pictures of the children right here on our website; just click on the Compassion banner. Be warned! Your heart WILL melt.
