On Monday Jon is joining Susan while Mike takes some family time….we’re going to be talking about those everyday miracles in our life - those little things that are so very special and important - and we’re giving thanks for what those everyday miracles have meant to us! We’d love to hear about yours…you can comment on our fan page on Facebook or if you want to just comment here…we’d love to share your Everyday Miracles too!
Our KSBJ President and CEO, Tim McDermott has challenged us as a staff to work at trying to put balance back into our life. He talked about the three elements of our getting balance. He had us think of them like a tripod….each leg needs to be balanced with the others or it will be tilted and could even fall.
The first is Physical - you can work on getting more exercise or being careful of what you are eating…even making sure that you are getting the sleep and rest that you need.
Then mental - he encouraged us to work at really trying to read and expand our minds - not just for the sake of the job…but to increase our own knowledge.
and last and certainly not least - Spiritual - to be reading the Bible, working on our prayer life and finding ways to deepen our relationship with the Lord.
He’s right, when you get too caught up in one of these to the detriment of the others - you’re off balance. And if you ignore one of these you will find yourself off balance and not as healthy.
We’ve picked up the challenge to find a way to do one of each of these each day for the next 30 days and see if we can’t find more balance and more joy in our life.
Tomorrow on the show, we want to tell you about the challenge we’ve taken at the station for 30 days of improving our balancing act. There are three legs to your life and if you don’t work on all three areas…you can’t get balance in your life. We’ll talk about what they are and how we can improve life in general —- in 30 days!
We talked about how your brain is better on laughter. It’s true clowning around improves memory, mood, and motivation. A good knee-slapper also produces a chemical reaction that instantly elevates your mood, reduces pain and stress, and boosts immunity according to research at Stanford University.
So, what makes YOU laugh?!

We enjoy so many freedoms but they have been hard fought and blood bought by those who have served in the Military. Today is our day to remember those who have sacrificed for us. The KSBJ Broadcast Van will be in the downtown Houston Veterans Day Parade this morning. Our Prayer Stations are going to be at the City Hall this morning for the special celebration with our prayer volunteers wearing Red Aprons. They will pray for you, your family, the troops. Please take time today to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our Country, and thank those who gave the sacrifice of service as well. Our Veterans deserve to be honored today!
To those who have served, I want to tell you how grateful I am for what you and your family were willing to sacrifice for me and my family. I do not take my freedoms for granted today. I know that you have placed yourself in peril and your family has had to endure the hurt of separation and the concerns for your safety as you assured we would be safe. THANK YOU! God Bless you and God Bless America!
