Remembering An American Hero

Share

Hi friends,

We lost one of our own this past week. Major Robert Marchanti was killed in Afghanistan. Our hearts are broken for the Marchanti family and inspired by the courage and sacrifice of this amazing man of faith. I had the honor of speaking with Bob's daughter, Leah, as she shared a bit about an American hero, who she called Dad. Please pray for the Marchanti family.

A Prank Gone....Right!

Dave has been telling us about the Kansas school kids who wanted to prank one of their teachers by telling him that they had tickets to Basketball's Final Four if he could make a half-court shot - Blindfolded!! Check out the video...

So the students had to admit that they didn't have the tickets but would treat teacher Joel Branstrom to a nice dinner. However, since the video went viral someone anonymously has provided the tickets, lodging and transportation to the Final Four!

Today is the Day

Hi friends,

So you know how we say, "my diet starts tomorrow, or I'm going to work out tomorrow, or I'm going to do everything right- tomorrow"? Well my tomorrow is here, today. January 18th, 2010 is my day. I had hoped it would be Janury 1st, 2010, because I love it when things just tie up in nice neat little packages like that, but my life seldom wraps up that way. And.. as it turned out, I really wasn't ready on January 1st, as evidenced by my many false starts. (see my blog from January 17).

Today. My start day is today. I had good healthy food today, consisting of oatmeal, eggs, whole wheat bread and veggies. I went to the gym and pushed myself hard on the weights. And I did the "Shred"- Jillian's killer 20 minute workout, that if you do it 30 days in a row, will make your body look like a sculpted masterpiece. Part of me actually believes that, and another part of me, just hates Jillian. (You know, "hate" meaning I really admire you but you really bug me)

So... Any other false-starters out there? How about we encourage one another and push through this thing together? It's hard to make big changes in your lifestyle but absolutely necessary if you want to reach your fitness goals. And remember, the change won't just happen on the outside. On the inside, I am really a dead-ringer for Beyonce. Really.

Smiles,

Tracey

Is PG-13 really OK for Teens?

Share

Every Friday we have the opportunity to find out what is good and not-so-good at the movie theaters from Bob Waliszewski the director of Focus on the Family’s PluggedInOnline.

Last year, Bob wrote and OpEd piece for the Los Angeles Times about the MPAA's PG-13 rating for movies and that maybe it is time to re-think the ratings. Wheather you have a teenager or not, this is important to read and maybe get involved.

Twitter....Again

Twitter has been in the news over the last week because of the election in Iran. Since we "Tweet" (posting a message) all the time, many have asked us about just what Twitter is. Rather than try to explain it in words - this video is an easy way to understand it!

Now that you know how to "Tweet!" You can follow us at twitter.com/tmdwrbs

See you in the Twitterverse!

What Happens When Lightening Strikes

Share

Mike Alley was in Nashville yesterday and today, so Erin (from the afternoons) has been filling in for him. The station was struck by lightening on May 29th and did significant damage to our main studio. We've temporarily had to relocate to our production studio which is WAY smaller than the main studio. Erin's created this video just to show you HOW much smaller!
