I love radio, but I love it because it keeps me connected to people. I've done almost every job in the business and now I have the honor of working at this station! I am married to a wonderful (now) retired MSgt in the Air Force. The Darin makes regular appearances on my show, but he usually refuses to talk, so I have to tell all his stories for him. Dillon is my stepson and his stories are also familiar to those that listen regularly. Dillon could be the next me. He LOVES being on the radio. Most days, I work from home and do my show with a portable studio that was built for me since I am now semi-retired (at the ripe old age of 34). So, if you hear the dishwasher, the washing machine or the sounds of a 9 year old with his Lego, it's all good!

Happy Mother’s Day
Being a step mom, I can tell you that Mother's Day is often full of emotion. You are so happy that you can provide for and love a child but still very conscious that your kid must give first homage to natural mom.

How To Explain a BIG Thunderstorm to Kids
I was in the PX recently and a mom was doing some shopping with her two kids (one was six and one was eight). They were talking about the thunderstorm that had blown through the night before and how scared they (including the mom) had been. We were both doing the go-down-every-aisle thing when I heard the smallest child ask, "Mommy, but I don't understand why God is angry when there is big

Blood Moon — The Science & Myth Behind this Amazing Phenomonon
It's not the end of the word, probably. It's some wicked-cool science, though. The Blood Moon is a series of four lunar eclipses that will start on April 15th. They will change the colors that we see and the moon will appear to be red. It's happened for centuries and is known as the tetrad. In fact, I remember sitting on top of our studios in Wichita Falls in 2003 to observe one.
I LOVE MY SPAM (EMAIL)
Not too fond on the food, but I love checking my spam email. First, it makes me feel like a great person; someone who is wise and can be trusted with large amounts of international currency. My secondary reason for loving my spam email is because important people often communicate to me and send me blessings upon blessings.
