Coffee Break

That is such a pointed question, isn't it? Fact of the matter is many people, when you ask them, stutter to give you an answer. So what is your job? Are you a cashier, server, banker, CEO, president, janitor? Can I tell you that none of these titles qualify your job! These are only descriptions of what you do, not who you are or what your job is. There are 5 different definitions for the word job... 1. a piece of work, especially a specific task done as part of the routine of one's occupation or for an agreed price 2. a post of employment; full-time or part-time position 3. anything a person is expected or obliged to do; duty; responsibility 4. an affair, matter, occurrence, or state of affairs 5. the material, project, assignment, etc., being worked upon My definition of job more relates to #3. My job? Easy...to be the best person I can be when you meet me and to show ( to the best of my ability )this dying world who Jesus Christ is, with Love ( not ha...

We all have one. Well I know that I have one. Actually I have one for me, one for my kids and one for my husband. There are just some things that he does better or I just don't like to do so he does them. I believe this all goes back to being a "help mate" to each other. We each have strengths and weaknesses. It's great to have a husband that balances me out. As we are talking about the "Honey-Do" list on the show this morning I said that I have my list all typed out and on a spread sheet. Bart asked, "Really?". I showed him and he began to laugh. Yes...that is one of the "conditions" of my OCD. I feel like I can breathe once I have a list and a plan of action. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. It did however get me to thinking, what is it that my husband wants to get done? I have never asked him, I just made him a list. I believe I could be a better help mate to my husband if I were to ask him what he'...

There's a list today that is worth reading through of new music that is officially out today! Whether you still are a little old school and buy CDs or more mainstream and download, here's some ear candy that I recommend! First to start is my Pick of the Week... Sidewalk Prophets (SWP).

Matthew West is inviting listeners (that's you!) to once again send in and submit stories from their lives for his next album.   That album is slated to be released in the fall. The singer and songwriter previously asked for stories to be used on his 2010 project, " The Story of Your Life ". Matthew shared about his new project, "On average, over a hundred stories have been sent to my website every week during these last two years. I could sense this season of telling the stories of peoples' lives wasn't quite finished yet. I'm beyond excited to take this journey...with this new season of stories and songs." Stories can be submitted through the end of March to www.matthewwest.com ~Peace & Blessings~ Jen

So there is a buzz in my ear about the upcoming movie "October Baby". It started yesterday when a friend of mine asked if I'd go with her to see it. I'm not often asked to go to see a movie. I asked her when she'd like to go and she says, the movie is out on Friday so this weekend if possible. Not really possible this weekend, and I'm in Atlanta the following weekend. So I'm thinking that I will have to drag her to the movies on a Monday night. Why not! I believe that this movie needs to be seen, by every woman who has been adopted, has put a child up for adoption, has had an abortion or almost had an abortion. This is a movie with a message, a mission. I already love this movie and I have not even seen it yet! Here's the best part... The producers of OCTOBER BABY have assigned 10% of the profits of the movie to the Every Life is Beautiful Fund, which will distribute funds to frontline organizations helping women facing crisis pregnancies, life-affi...

is on my mind. I'm sitting in the studio getting ready to go on the air and I'm racing ahead to later today and even later this week. No wonder I feel at times that life is on full speed. I have to STOP! Whatever happen to enjoying the moment. I was like that on Friday too. My whole thought on Friday was, "Get the taxes done!". Well they are now done and sent in, and I'm so thankful that part of my life is OVER! After taxes were officially filed I took the kids over to the store. My daughter was itching to spend some of her birthday money. I had only 2 of the kids with me. My older son, Thomas was enjoying some "Grandparents" time with my Mom & Dad. It was not "ideal" for my youngest to be shopping for girl clothes, but I took him over to see what he was in for summer wear. That seemed to perk him up! So as fast I rushed to Friday it came and went. I realized on Saturday, that is was an almost perfect Saturday. We weren...

It has been what, 2 weeks since I've really posted anything. I'll be happy to catch you up, only there's so much to catch up on. Did I tell you that  I went to Orlando with my daughters school? No? OK, so that was her first visit ever to Disney and she had a blast!!! Her school's fine arts department went down to perform with the Disney Performing Arts Department. What an exciting opportunity! We spent 3 days in Orlando and I loved watching her experience Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom & Epcot. That was my first visit to Epcot as well and I loved it! Shortly after coming back from the wonderful world of Disney, I got sick. Yup...go figure...take a mini vacation come back with a full blown sinus infection! So....I was not even thinking about posting blogs or Facebook messages. By last Friday I was finished, out, completely unable to do anything by wish for the pain to stop. I was out of work until Wednesday, so the rest of the week was all about catchin...
