For many years, my brother, he was ill and undiagnosed. He'd be fine. Then not fine. In times of stress, he hears voices or thoughts. They're usually really awful. In recent years, he discovered that if he only listens to UCB Christian radio and not other types of music that he used to when he was younger, that when he wakes up, he doesn't hear the voices he hears the lyrics from the songs on UCB Radio. And hears all the time words about God and praise and mercy. And UCB seems to just wipe out what the other voices are trying to say.

We have a son, 29. He's been in drugs and alcohol for 12 years. He just walked away from sober living. So [I] get hurt. And how do I get through this? Well, your radio station, when I found it, I turned it on. I just kept listening to this Christian station. Didn't know nothing about it. And of course [those] little girls right there and we're dancing, and it just gives us so much peace. Like, I'm more relaxed, more at peace. Even though I'm in the middle of a messy storm for The Who knows 25th time. And then this was last year I--when we made a house move, I've had it on every morning. So when I turn that on. I will pick out a song that morning and I'll just sit and listen and just don't move and I just close my eyes and I just turn that song into a prayer. How they pray it back to God right away and something happens. That song that really helps me and I'm crying because--because how much it means to me through my day. It really does inspire me to finish my day, and sometimes it's a long day, but there's something about radio, right? There's something about atmosphere in the home. It just changes things.

Father we thank you for your goodness and your grace in our lives. We thank you for your love and as school approaches I think of my grandkids going to school. I bring each one before your throne of grace. I pray that you would be honoured in their hearts and in their minds as they do school work, as they do extra curricular activities. I also pray that you would help them to each find a close friend that has similar values. And help them to be children of integrity. I pray this all in your name, amen.
