Daniel works in the Film/TV/Movie industry, and in a big way. Basically he is the go-to guy for drone shots in Hollywood South. Uplift Aerials has done work on NCIS New Orleans and a whole lot more. You name it – Daniel was the aerial guy for it.

I was rusty. The ball clanged off the rim over and over until finally I settled down and found my follow through. That’s the secret to nailing your shot – not just the set up, but the follow through. And that got me thinking about other things in life that take a little warming up, before you are rewarded with a SWISH instead of a CLANG…

We wrapped up our recent fundraiser falling just a little short of where we hoped to be. (Just 3%!) Still, our hearts are incredibly grateful.
As for me, I fall short what feels like constantly. Example? My parenting skills. I wish my son ate more fruit/veggies. We try! And he’s a willing participant. He just doesn’t really seem to keep going. (More than 3% short on that one!)

We wrapped up our Shareathon, just 3% short of the goal. LifeSongs is listener-supported, and each day we share Hope through authentic and uplifting radio during a time when that message is SO NEEDED.

It’s been said that the test of a true friend is the ability to sit quietly together and be totally at ease. But for a lot of folks, silence (or silenzio) is outright terrifying.

We encourage everyone to sign up their school to be an official LifeSongs Prayer School of the Day. Recently I (Josh) got to chat with a long-time LifeSongs listener and friend, Tara LaRocca about the new school year.

I know, we are still technically in summer, but it’s been so hot that I feel if I look forward to the next season, it might seem cooler in my mind, LOL.
It’s funny how we are all wired differently. I tend to struggle with getting ahead of myself and not being in the moment. It’s not that I worry, but I have a type “A” personality and I do tend to try to order my world.

And some days, it feels like those “margins” don’t exist.
We’ve hit the point in the year when our days do feel packed, like there is zero margin. Just me?

It’s my favorite thing about any beach trip. It is one of the most peaceful sounds on planet earth, up there with fat drops of rain on a tin roof. Waves are soothing to listen to, fun to play in and maybe exciting to surf on… I have no idea. There’s no way I’ll ever have the balance to successfully surf! (Let alone be comfortable wearing a wetsuit in public) Waves have a beautiful rhythm to them – just like life.

I love data. Math is my love language. And no matter how much data input and analyzing I do, the Share-a-thon math is not mathing. There is no pattern to be seen. There is no figuring out which hour is going to be great or which day is going to be slow. It’s alway...2023-03-2801 minLibby | Lifesongs.comRe-routing | LibbyDo you have a daily routine? I’m a creature of habit. From big things to small ones. I mean, it’s like muscle memory, turning down the roads that lead me to my daily stops (work, school, home, Domino’s…). But when those roads are closed or the carpool line changes or the parking lot at work is being reworked, I am shook. (Is that a thing “the kids” say still?) Seriously, it takes me a really long time to adjust. Re-routing takes a LOT of getting used to. I guess I’m on “auto-pilot” much more than I realize.

And these resolutions are something to work toward this year, not something to perfect from the start.

And I want to be frustrated with him and ask, “If your friend jumped off a cliff, would you jump off too?” But I refrain.

How are your New Year’s resolutions going? Most of us will give up on those resolutions by the end of the month, so maybe we should think about them a little differently this year. Why don’t we think about:
Treating ourselves better this year.
Doing things that bring us peace.
Bringing joy to the people in our lives.
Think about those things and then make New Year’s Resolutions. It’s still early enough in the year to make a new resolution or modify a current one!

However, as I look back and reflect I am able to see that some amazing things happened this year. Share-a-thon for LifeSongs was a success, I mean here we were in the middle of craziness and BAM, God showed up and showed everyone that He is still in control and funded LifeSongs completely.
