Pure Freedom Update
We saw lots of girls (& some moms too) make/renew commitments to Christ at both shows. Many shed a few tears, lots of laughs were shared in the crowd and everyone left with SMILES! There is still some tickets left for our LAST show TONIGHT in Lansing. Tickets can be purchased at the door at Mt. Hope Church beginning at 6 pm tonight.
Did we also mention that the Smile Prize Wheel will be up and running awarding some cool prizes. The Smile Photo Booth has become a big hit with moms and girls. Both will be open before and during intermission at the show. You may want to bring a few extra bucks so you can pick up some Smile Swag, all the proceeds go to help keep us on the air.
Here are a few pictures from the shows but see the complete albums at our Facebook pages.

Diceman sticks foot in mouth
Hey Rush has done it this week, Kirk Cameron has done it. I (Diceman) know that it won’t be long that I will say something stupid and end up putting my foot in my mouth. So, why wait?

Volunteer w/Lansing Food Drop
The goal of this project is to “be” the hands and feet of Christ to nearly 3,000 families in need throughout the Greater Lansing Area. As volunteers deliver food boxes, they’ll offer a prayer of blessing in a gentle and respectful way and leave and invitation to visit one of the participating churches. We trust that people will see God’s love working through each volunteer and He will open up opportunities s to tell them about Christ. Let’s put our “Love in Action!” and see what God does through us.
The Churches of Greater Lansing are looking for over 1,000 volunteers to help with this project on Feb. 25 beginning at 11 am at Holt High School and then traveling throughout the greater Lansing area as volunteers deliver food boxes to those in need. Smile FM will be on hand to help celebrate this amazing project and we encourage our Lansing area listeners to step up and volunteer along side us, delivering food to some of Lansing's less fortunate. Follow this link to get signed up & for more details: www.churchofgreaterlansing.com

Faron and his wife received this as a wedding present 25 years ago, and it’s lasted all of these years. So has the marriage! But there is one small crack now (in the clothes basket, not the marriage, ok!)

He would have been considered witty, and funny, and a wise-cracker! What do you think? Have we all made Jesus seem too serious?

The Diceman is getting rid of his headphones
Here is a picture. You’ll notice that they have been taped a few times. One ear doesn’t work. However, he still didn’t want to get rid of them because he really liked how they sound. I guess this means that the Diceman is a hoarder. What about you? Are you willing to throw something away this weekend? What about that old ratty shirt you like to wear every weekend?

Turn Back - A Poem
This poem impacted me (Diceman) today. It might be something
to print out and put on your refrigerator?
Turn back to where you left Him, and you will find Him there,
He is waiting by the bedside where you used to kneel in prayer.
He is standing in the chapel by that long abandoned pew,
And he stands by your forsaken swath where laborers are few.
You are older, sorer,broken. You are tired of self, tis true.
But return to where you left Him. He is waiting there for you!

Funniest pick-up lines ever for Christian singles!
I’ve seen a few lists of these in the past, that are lame, but these are really funny! What do you think? Single guys/ girls? The top pick-up lines for Christian singles….
1. I would part the Red Sea for you.”.
2. “What’re you doing for the rest of your afterlife?” .
3. “Did you say your name was Esther? Oh, I guess I just think you were chosen for such a time as this.”
4. “Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?”
5. “10% of me is 100% certain that I can give you 10% of my heart forever.” (This is to be used only during tithe and offering time and is so confusing it just may work.)
6. “Let’s be like Noah and do this as a pair.”
7. “You must be Egyptian because I’m a slave for you.”
8. “You and me, we’re like loaves and fishes…we just might be a miracle.”
9. “Do you want to be accountability partners?”
10. “On first dates, I always take girls to get BBQ ribs. It feels the most biblical considering they came from one.”
11. “I know you’ve already said no once, but call me Joshua because I’m going to break down your walls.”
12. “I’m no Joseph, but I’m having trouble interpreting the dreams I’ve been having about you.”
13. “I don’t know if you noticed but, when you walked into the room, that was me giving up a clap offering.”
14. “I may not have a job right now, and I may live in my parent’s basement, but I swear to you I’m storing up treasure in heaven and my mansion is gonna rock.”

THE CALL 11/11/11 - Prayer Rally
Friday 11/11/2011 5 PM Length: 24 Hours
On November 11–12, 2011, thousands from across America will gather to Detroit to fast, pray and cry out to God. We will gather to this city that has become a microcosm of our national crisis—economic collapse, racial tension, and the shedding of innocent blood of our children in the streets and of our unborn. But the place where they say there is no hope, God has chosen as His staging ground for a great communal healing and His house of prayer for all nations. Therefore, we are calling the nation to a 24-hour solemn assembly, daring to believe that Detroit’s desperation can produce a prayer that can change a nation. Come and take your place on the wall in Detroit, where we will ask God to send fire on our hearts, to forgive our national guilt and establish justice in our land

Comparison chart: Smile FM artists that sound like Secular artists
If you are a new listener to Smile FM, you may want to know more about this amazing positive hit music. It may be a good time to ditch all of your old music and so you never have to worry about what is playing in the car or at home? Did you know that there is a Christian band that sounds like Queen, and another band that sounds like Coldplay. Here is a list of positive hit artists that pretty much cover every style of music. http://www.otterbeinchurch.org/documents/MusicComparisonDoc.PDf
