Q: A recent survey of women revealed that THIS is the #1 fashion crime that men commit. What?
A: Pants that are too short! I think it's cute when I see a guy in short pants. :-) Congrats to David in Yorba Linda, whose wife helps him put together a lot of his outfits. How cute is that? He won a Family Fun Pack, including dinner at McCormick and Schmick's at Anaheim Gardenwalk and 4 passes for the kids (and the adults!) to check out the Quadra Knights Theater Game Trailer.

Helping The Homeless
Melissa called in yesterday and shared how she encountered a homeless man yesterday. The hopeless expression on his face broke her heart, and she stopped to give him some money and speak with him. She requested "The Twenty-First Time" by Monk and Neagle (see the lyrics below), because she realized as she was talking to the man that he could be Jesus in disguise.
After hearing Melissa's story on the air, Loriene shared this:
Hey Lara, just heard that story about the lady giving money to the homeless man. One day around Christmas time last year, I had seen someone sitting near a gas station all covered up. I was compelled to go home and actually make a lunch like I do for my son. I packed a sandwich, chips, juice, fruit snack and cookies. When I came back, I said to him, I'd like to give this to you. When the person revealed himself to me, it was then that I realized it was a woman and not a man. That really broke my heart. God truly is good to me and I thank Him everyday and try to do what I can to bless others. Its blesses me in return just to know that I can make a difference hopefully in their lives.

Thank you for blessing ME each day with your emails and calls, and for being willing to share your heart. And thank you for the small acts of kindness that you do every day, and for blessing people you don't even know. Together we can change the world!
Lyrics to "The Twenty-First Time"/Monk and Neagle:
Nowhere to live
Nowhere to fall
He used to have money
But he's wasted it all
His face is a photograph burned in my mind
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
He sleeps under stars, it's all he can afford
His blanket's an old coat he's had since the war
He stands on the corner of Carter and Vine
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
He may be a drifter who's grown old and gray
But what if it's Jesus and I walk away
I say I'm the body and drink of the wine
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
She's 29 but she feels 48
She can't raise three kids on minimum wage
She's crying in back of the welfare line
But I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
She may be a stranger trying to get through the day
But what if it's Jesus and I walk away
I say I'm the body and drink of the wine
But I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
This is a call for a change in my heart
I realize that I've not been doing my part
When I needed a Savior, I found it in Him
He gave to me, now I'll give back to them
Drifter or stranger, daughter or son
I'll look for Jesus in everyone
'Cause I am the body and drink of the wine
And I'm thankful there's more than the twenty-first time

Lara's Brainbuster
Q: What will about 45% of couples argue about on any given night?
Hint: This might happen when you're at home after a long day, sitting on the couch. Call your guess in at 1-866-FISH-959 when you hear me give the question on the air!
A: They argue over WHAT TO WATCH ON TV! Congrats to Cindy in Fountain Valley! She was on her way to visit with some folks at a nursing home when she heard the question and called in. How awesome is she? She sings to them, brushes their hair, and reads from the Bible. :-) Cindy won a Family Fun Pack, including dinner at McCormick and Schmick's at Anaheim Gardenwalk, and 4 passes to check out the Quadra Knights Theater Game Trailer.
