Will we start predicting spring with the best 2 out of 3?

Start handing out those groundhog-size ci**rs: Punxsutawney Phil is a father. The Pennsylvania group that handles the spring-predicting groundhog and his groundhog wife Phyllis says the couple became parents on Saturday.

Sometimes you need something big to help you through

Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

Do you wish there were still prizes in the cereal box or are you surprised that was ever a thing? (I can guess your age by your answer) 😏

This week is 35 years in radio for me. If you've been part of the journey please leave a comment or 👍. And thank you! Thanks to John Candelaria, Mike Martinez and Bob Perry in El Paso for giving me a shot when I literally took the last $75 in my account to make a demo tape. Yes, it was a tape. A cassette tape. 😂

Call it "tip exhaustion" or "charity guilt" but more and more people are saying they're being asked tip more often and in more places. How do you handle this?

It's pastor appreciation month. A chance to love on and give back to our pastoral staff! Last year we treated our pastor and a few friends with a simple but yummy backyard burger meal. Pastor Benito, thank you for all you and the entire staff do to bless our families and community.

People were talking about the best thing they ever got for a dollar. THIS is priceless!

I liked a girl and flirted with her quite a bit. One time, during a
band trip, we stopped at a gas station and she bought me a pack of gum. I tried to pay her back $1 but she refused. So, I slipped the $1 in her pocket. She then slipped the dollar in my backpack and so began the back and forth with the $1 bill. We found silly ways to give it back and forth. I mailed it to her house. She stuffed it in a
gum wrapper and offered me a piece. I then decided that I would ask her out on this $1. I wrote, 'Will you go out with me' on it and put it in a note and gave it to her. She said yes. About four years later, I still had the same dollar kept away. On our anniversary, I wrote 'Will you marry me' on the bottom of the dollar. We have been married for 15 years and have three awesome kids.

I've said it myself; that kids and adults don't come with an owner's manual that tells us what to do. But Paul's letter to Titus comes pretty close:

You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. 2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

We can get tripped up wondering why "jealous" is mentioned in the bible. I love how John Piper explains it. A reminder from church yesterday:
God is not jealous like an insecure employer who fears that his employees might get lured away by a better salary elsewhere. God’s jealousy is not the reflex of weakness or fear. Instead God is jealous like a powerful and merciful king who takes a peasant girl from a life of shame, forgives her, marries her, and gives her not the chores of a slave, but the privileges of a wife – a queen. His jealousy does not rise from fear or weakness but from a holy indignation at having His honor and power and mercy scorned by the faithlessness of a fickle spouse.

Archaeologists in Jerusalem have discovered a 2,000-year-old receipt carved into a chalkstone slab. Guarantee it wasn't from CVS because there is NO stone that large on earth.

When you face things that are out of your control, you need something more than a positive mental attitude. You need faith in God, because he can control what you can’t. ~ Rick Warren
