Moments that Motivate with Tim Lovelace

Send us Fan Mail Immediately after I joined the Boy Scouts, they announced we were going on a camping trip. I told my dad I needed a tent, and he started telling me what he had learned in Army boot camp—how you can make an emergency tent by snapping two ponchos together. So Dad and I went to the Army surplus store and bought two ponchos. Dad Economics 101. I then found a scout who didn't have...

Send us Fan Mail There must be someone who loves blackberry cobbler more than I do, but I haven’t met them yet. As a young boy, I was a blackberry picking machine. Back then, like most of my friends, I lived on my bicycle, so I would “ride and seek” for great places to pick berries. Trust me, the hot Alabama sun, scratches from the sticker bushes and the occasional snake couldn’t deter me from my...

Send us Fan Mail I rarely fly on the day of a concert, but when I do, I watch for last-minute gate changes. On one such trip I started early from Tennessee and landed in Atlanta to change planes. I was extremely hungry, and I spotted a restaurant serving breakfast sandwiches, but I decided not to take a chance on the long line. Instead, I grabbed a yogurt parfait and headed to my gate, as I tried...

Send us Fan Mail I love to visit Amish country; homemade crafts, delicious food, but I especially love the horses and buggies going up and down the road. When I wake up in a motel in Amish country and hear the clippity-clop clop of the horses, I feel like I’ve done some time-traveling during the night. One day I was driving through Lancaster, PA, when I saw two stores side by side. One had several...

Send us Fan Mail Like many of you, I started riding on shopping carts at a very young age. We called them buggies. I was around six years old when I started pushing the cart by myself. Until I could navigate the corners, a few cans of soup were destined to roll, but not to worry, I did restack them, so I’m not responsible for the announcement “Cleanup on aisle three. I especially enjoyed riding a...

Send us Fan Mail Krispy Kreme Doughnuts bought Panera Bread. They really did. Panera reportedly sold for seven and a half billion dollars, and that is a sweet deal. This is awesome news, because I love both places. I’m just hoping they will combine their menus. Then I can order a nutritious strawberry poppyseed salad, with some healthy grilled, free range chicken and a dozen, yes a dozen, hot glaz...

Send us Fan Mail When I was a young boy in South Alabama, a local radio station had a campaign that included a ping pong ball drop from an airplane. Yes, you heard me right…a ping pong ball drop. And if that sounds like a dumb idea, you are right. They announced a date and time and invited listeners to a field where hundreds of ping pong balls would be dropped by a World War II airplane. Some of t...

Send us Fan Mail “Hey, Dad! Hey, Dad! I want to tell you thumpin.” is what I heard from a three or four year old boy who was holding tightly to his father’s hand as they were exiting a restaurant. The way he pronounced the word “something” calling  it “thumpin” was so cute, but his excitement and desire to talk to his father was the absolute best!  Again he exclaimed, “Hey, Dad! Hey, Dad! I want t...

Send us Fan Mail I remember the first time I ever did connect the dots was when I was in first grade. We were learning to write the alphabet, but what I really needed to learn was how to hold that huge pencil…Do you remember those? They were as big around as  a redwood tree, and supposedly, when you learn to write by connecting the dots, you should have quality penmanship. But today my penmanship...

Send us Fan Mail My wife and I started attending kite flying festivals in Florida back in the 90s. Some of the competitions involved kite maneuvers choreographed to music. I was so inspired I bought a professional kite, but my aerial ballet was more like clogging with the clouds.  I remember the first kite I flew as a boy. Dad and I assembled it, drove to the schoolyard and made sure we were clear...

Send us Fan Mail I walk for exercise and enjoyment. Sometimes I walk early in the morning, before my brain has time to figure out what I’m trying to do. But I only walk. I will run, but only if something is chasing me. And I don’t know about you, but some days it just seems harder getting motivated to exercise.     Awhile back I woke up in my hotel room, the morning after a late night concert. Exe...

Send us Fan Mail I flew into St. Louis, MO, the night before one of my comedy concerts. I checked into to my hotel and jumped back into the rental car to find a restaurant. After all, the airline miniature pretzels were not cutting it. I was four-thirds starved, and you can do the math. Then I noticed a small diner just across the street.   I drove over and went in as the cook was restocking. Afte...
