Congratulations again to Mr. Thomas Alderman!  His name was drawn for the autographed guitar! Thomas came and visited the studio to claim his prize!  While he was here, he shared with us that he almost didn't register because he believed these kinds of things were "rigged" and he never wins anything.  But, he went ahead and filled out a slip while shopping for a computer in Tech Place!

Recently Brenda and Johnny joined people from all over our community to help fundraise for a great local organization: R.E.A.C.H of Macon County. Motorcyclists came from all over to ride for the cause. Car enthusiasts enjoyed a great car show and sound off. R.E.A.C.H of Macon County strives to help women and families in situations of need due to domestic violence or abuse.For more information on

In just a few days(11 to be exact), a group of 11 people from Franklin will be heading across the Atlantic Ocean to a country about the size of Colorado: Burkina Faso. This African country is one of the poorest in the world, with more than 50% of the population living on less than $1 a day. Two from the group include myself (Susan) and Rob Ricotta (our weekend personality).Our hearts have been

I'm grateful for the opportunity to host the Rise & Praise Morning Show here at 1480 the Dove. After the butterflies settled down in my stomach (and my throat!) things went pretty well the first day behind the mic. My goal is to help each of us start our day out with local information, an encouraging word from the Scriptures, and your favorite Christian music. A conviction I have as a

Here Johnny Lee is enjoying the view from the studio roof while he cleans the snow and ice

So, Thanksgiving turns a corner and Christmas erupts, or it even erupts before Thanksgiving has time to appear. So for the next 30 days or so, the American culture is in a frenzy that stretches us to the extreme with family, friends, parties, shopping, overeating, depression, happiness, cold weather, decorations, and memories. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing for us, I will not comment

Holidays get interesting in most of our lives--whether they are exciting and fun filled, or extra stressful and painful. Regardless, they bring a change of pace and a time where we look at the world a little differently. As Thanksgiving comes around, I find myself focusing on the things that I'm extra thankful for this year.I'm thankful for the privilege of living in America where we can

October is Clergy Appreciation Month. Pastors have a tough calling and need our encouragement and prayers. There's a good resource at ClergyAppreciation.org for ideas on what to do. I know we're planning something extremely special for one of our pastors, and we're super excited about it. Let your pastor and his wife know that they make a difference and you care about them.Update 10.27.2006

It is one of the last purely agricultural fairs in North Carolina and draws thousands of people from all over.

I have been able to listen to Bebo Norman's new album slated to release next month (you can too if you pre-order at certain online retailers). Amazing album--very excited about this release. We play "I Will Lift My Eyes" on the station now--great tune. Be looking for this album to be released September 19th--you won't be disappointed.

Spending a week in New Orleans can be discouraging. But I also want to point out that it can be very encouraging. It's been almost a year since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. And it's been almost a year since thousands of homes have even been touched. Everywhere you look you see FEMA trailers and blue tarps and empty parking lots. There are abandoned cars, boats and houses

In one week I'm heading to New Orleans with a World Changers Project. I am very excited about the opportunity. Our particular group has around 400-450 people involved. From what I understand, we will be working on several project types: painting a school so they can begin classes this fall, roofing houses that were water/wind damaged, and cleaning out houses that have not been touched since

World Changers, a ministry through the Southern Baptist Convention, is in town this week. Johnny and I had a chance to stop and talk with them for a little while yesterday morning. It was really enjoyable to talk with the kids who are in Franklin this week and hear all they have been doing. It was really encouraging.World Changers is a ministry that allows youth and college students to go to

There's a lot going on at the station and around Franklin these days--it's been fun to see the excitement spread around the area. We've been giving away a lot of fun stuff lately, like a cruise, gift certificates, fishing poles, and soon we'll have free gas cards, a dvd blitz, and some other exciting gifts to go around. It's a privilege to be able to offer gifts to our listeners and help out
