  It's another warm one in Texas - hope your own local weather is doing well for you.   Our Story this week is not necessarily one that you haven't heard before, but the details of just what happened there are not always so clear.   It's the story of what I call "The Most Famous Tea Party in Our History". We have all come to know it as "The Boston Tea Party".   As you listen to this "Party Story"...

What many people don't know is that Abraham Lincoln was not the first attempted Presidential assassination.  Of course, we all know that he did not survive the shooting, but there was another attempt on a president's life and his name was Andrew Jackson.  This story has two very odd parts - 1) The assination was attempted, but he was not shot and 2) The court's decision from this clear murderest a...

This "You Are There" is about remembering and honoring our veterans who fought to keep us free and safe.   We need to remember why we have a Memorial Day and not treat it as a day to shop for great deals, but to talk to families that lost that loved one fighting for our country.    

To be a hero you don't necessarily have to save someone from a burning building, or jump into freezing water to save someone from drowning - we are told in Webster's Dictionary what the true hero can be.   Listen and remember and honor those who have given their last full measure of devotion in war for our America. 

Did you know that Jesus came to earth to do something that he did not want to do?  

This is the true story of one of the most dramatic efforts to burn our U.S. Flag in front of 10's of thousands of people and on television.    Some believe that our flag is just a piece of cloth.  But just like our Bible, it's just not paper writings, it is a powerful picture of what we must know about our country and our American Flag, the red for sacrifice, the white for seeking purity as a nati...

Question: Have you made yourself to believe that because you aren't some superstar at what you do that you don't have anything to offer in life to anyone?  The truth is this, we all have something to give and each of us is an important part of God's Plan for our country.  The story today is about doing. After you hear the story, pass it on and encourage others to never stop doing.

Today, all around the world people believe that one of the largest ship wrecks ever was the Titanic.  But did you know that in April of 1865, there was a shipwreck that killed more people than the Titanic and it happened on the Mississippi River in the U.S.    And, there were more passengers killed than the Titanic.     Listen, learn, enjoy!   Jerry Stewart

It is hard to believe that there was ever a time in our America when citizens would be disallowed from participating in anything that our nation has to offer.   But there was a time that Negros could not play in Major Leagure Baseball - this story today is about one Major League Team owner who decided to be the first to bring in a Negro on his team.    This is an amazing story of courage and deter...

With St Patrick's Day behind us, there are many who do not know the story behind why we have this holiday.  Some think it is for the Green Beer and the Irish Stew, but there is a great story of how St. Patrick's Day began.    You will be enlightened if you haven't heard this true story before.

With all of the strange stories I tell about our U.S History, you may think that you have heard them all.   But the story that I am about to tell you today may be the "strangest strange story" you have ever heard.   Be prepared!

It's been a long time since I learned the Pledge of Allegiance, as those in our third grade class recited it to our teacher and finished with a perfect presentation.  Our teacher said she noticed that we all knew the words perfectly, but it just seemed like it was memorized with no heart behind the words.   Then she began quoting the pledge back to us with the heart of the document included.   Sin...

Have you ever wondered if you will ever do anything so dramatically and selfless that you would be considered a hero?  It may be different than you think.   I am sending the YAT feature early this week as we will be out of the studio for a few days.

Love is a wonderful and beautiful thing, it can bring joy to your life, more joy than just about anything else.  But what happens when the love is sadly lost?     Here is such a story.

This is a good true story about character and how you handle yourself.  We all need to remember that how we react is a good teaching moment for those watching you.   We can all learn from this story.    

If you are like me, you are still thinking about what 2025 will look like - like a dream.   I've always been a great dreamer, but so many of my dreams didn't go as far as I wanted. But this story you are hearing and my radio features that run every week were a dream of mine long ago and for 25 years now, you have been hearing me tell you my dreams. So give it a try and write a story and send it to...

We are now into this new year 2025 and many resolutions have been made, and many may have already been broken.     My new year's resolution is to live above my hardships and give them to God.  To seek first what God tells me instead of listening to my own thoughts.  To be kind to others and have a listening ear for those who need it.   Listen to this story

Normally, when the Washington Monument is honored during our America's Father's Day week, we are honoring God because he is our Nation's Father.   However, allow me to give us a little "spin" on this story this week.  HINT - Why was the Plague at the very top of the Monument placed so high that not one human eye can see it?   HINT Tip - Maybe it's meant for only God to see???   Think about it!   J...

We have all heard the poem "Twas The Night Before Christmas", in fact, many of us can actually quote a big part of the poem.     But I've been taking a look inside the poem and discovered that I may know a lot of the poem, but I didn't know the backstory of the poem..     Please take some time to read a lot of the inside information that goes with the poem, because it is all very interesting and y...

The story is about a brave young man, his name is Squanto, who  was sent unknowingly by God to help the Pilgrims. Your listeners will love what Squanto brings to Thanksgiving to make it a blessing to those Pilgrims.   Happy Thanksgiving!

We have been working hard to come up with some special Veterans Day programs.    So here we go - enjoy yourself, pray for our vets and honor God.

On Halloween morning, 1938, Orson Welles awoke to find himself the most talked about man in America. The night before, Welles and his Mercury Theatre on the Air had performed a radio adaptation of H.G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds, converting the 40-year-old novel into fake news bulletins describing a Martian invasion of New Jersey. Some listeners mistook those bulletins for the real thing, and t...
