KRISTI LEIGH — Every weekday at 5:20 p.m., we air the “Upwords” program with Max Lucado.  I love listening to it!  Did you happen to catch what he said today?  He was on a roll!  Here were my 3 favorite thoughts he shared along the lines of doing what you’re passionate about:

1. “Jesus comes to set you on fire. He walks as a torch from heart to heart, warming the cold and thawing the chilled and stirring the ashes.”

2. “The fire of your heart is the light of your path. Disregard it at your own expense.”

3. “To meet the Savior is to be set aflame, to discover the flame is to discover His will, to discover His will is to access a world like none you’ve ever seen.”

WOW.  Thanks, Max!  I needed that!

Here’s a link to today’s program on Max Lucado’s website.

KRISTI LEIGH–You may have heard Tenth Avenue North‘s new Christmas song “Deck The Halls” on WJTL lately.  And you may have seen their music video.  (I blogged about it back in November.  Click here to see it!)  But now, it’s time to go behind-the-scenes to see how their video was made!

Enjoy,

KRISTI LEIGH —

Today I interviewed award-winning producer, Dan Posthuma about the musical “The Confession”, which opens tomorrow as the inaugural performance on The Bird-In-Hand Stage (newly renovated).  It’s an Amish love story adapted from the trilogy of books by NY Times bestselling author — and Lancaster County native — Beverly Lewis, who USA Today hails as the “queen of the genre” when it comes to Amish fiction.  Listen to my interview here.  For tickets and information on “The Confession” musical, click here!

WJTL’s Kristi Leigh is introduced to Shine Bright Baby, their special skills, and their awesome music.

KRISTI LEIGH — Today when I got to work, Eddie was pretty excited to show me what came in the mail.  It was a thank you note from the new band Shine Bright Baby!  (It was our first-ever thank you note from a band interviewed at a festival, so it really meant a lot!)  We met and interviewed them at Creation this year and had an absolute blast!  They’re lots of fun and to top it all off, their music is pretty impressive.  You’ll have to check out their interview video when Eddie posts it in the next couple of days.  Good times indeed!
