The picnics will still be popping up this July 4th weekend, and you want to help. Yet, in your mind you know that you have errands to run in between making the side and actually going to the cook-out, and you don't have an ice chest to keep it cool. I've been there...
Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, you probably won't be seeing fireworks in your own driveway, with the kids making sure not to blow too many things up. But, good news is that there are quite a few places you'll be able to go, "Oooooo" and "Ahhhhh" on July...
A time to come together with food, friends, family, and a few fireworks--yes, it could be New Years Eve, but we haven't reached the winter season quite yet. 4th of July is a fun time for many across East Texas, but to keep it fun, Tyler PD and Longview PD are...
You may not remember all the details or your wedding day, but for some reason there are people around you who attend that do! I didn't think this was possible until I started going to a few myself, where the glass Dr. Pepper bottles, fan-like programs, and bubbles...
It was only a short time ago when you could leave the car unlocked, and even running, without some car thief seeing it as an open invitation to just take the thing and run. Ok, maybe it wasn't something that happened in your or my lifetime, but it did happen, right up...

You plan on putting together an awesome scrapbook...and then it falls to the wayside about a day into it. Wait, is that just me?! Yes, I admit that I use to do scrap-booking all the time as a teen, but after senior year in high school, I kind-of lost track of,...
Having any allergy can be a pain to live with, especially if it's one that interferes with food and you eating some! Honestly, when I think of friends and family who have allergies, it makes me sad for them :( My friend Rachel is one such case, and hers is right up...
The hubby and I have been busy watching and listening to Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University series (thanks to the Harper's btw), so it's a common thing to hear him say, "Live like no one else, so you can LIVE like no one else." The thought behind this is that...
It's one thing to notice you or a loved one is putting on extra weight from the greasy messes of food consumed 3 times a day, every day. But when you're eating healthy, going the "smarter" route, yet still see your waist growing, it can be nothing short of...
Every great parent loves their child, but they are very aware that they have faults as well. You never want to list out the "oh-no's," but I bet you anything there are already 5 of them that popped in your head when the word "fault" was read. And that's ok--they're as...
A fond moment of my childhood for me was getting a chance to play with some of the first computer games for 15 minute intervals in 3rd grade "free time." What stunk about it was that I never had a chance to finish Oregon Trail and see if I lived or if a snake bite was...
Through the summer, swimming in a common adventure children love here in Texas. But with that comes the slight fear of drowning, seeing that it is the #2 cause of accidental deaths in the country. Now, our prayer here at KVNE is that you never have to deal with this...
One of my Facebook friends posted this earlier today and it's just too good to pass up. Sorry but I don't know the original source. "After every flight, QANTAS pilots fill out a form, known as a 'gripe sheet' to tell mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The...
Most people hear the words "Healthy" and "Family" and automatically think organic weirdos who spend too much time and too much money on too many changes. Going to be honest here: I use to be one of those thinkers! And even though I don't have a family myself yet, I've...
One of the most loved things about the summertime in Texas is a thing known only as AC! Then again, growing up in Houston, I distinctly remember mom shoving us outside to roam around the cul-de-sac and jump through what seemed to be a big sprinkler (and later was...
Everyone thinks that they're a "safe driver" and it's the people around them that can't drive. The reality is that we ALL (yes, including you), can work on our driving skills just a little bit, or at least make certain adjustments that should have been made...
You and I are human, bound to make mistakes probably every day of our lives! Part of the problem is that we just don't know certain things, or aren't "well-informed." One such problem occurs when tipping...anywhere. Most think the standard 15% is what a tip...
Usually, you and I would be in the same boat of not enjoying the "sport" of running. I've caught myself saying constantly in the past, "The only time you'd find me running is if someone is chasing me to hurt me." Surprisingly, situational depression will make you...
I love my dad! No matter what goes on in my life, he almost always had the right word (or Bible verse) to say. He has shown me how a woman should be treated, and has been a devoted and loving husband to my lovely mom for the past 28 years. This Father's Day, you...
Thank you for being the feet and hands of Jesus! Over 6700 socks & undies will be going to orphans all world through Orphan Outreach. A group of staff and listeners traveled to Xela, Guatemala in June to work with an orphanage called “Little House of Refuge” to...
