Morning Show Notes - Wednesday, February 23rd

-Gas prices are on their way up in the CSRA. John saw $3.14 a gallon in Augusta this morning, and Cleve noticed prices were topping $3 a gallon in Aiken County. If you're looking for cheaper prices, try using Bi-Lo's Fuelperks and Kroger's Fuel Rewards, which can now be used at many Shell stations in the CSRA. Greg's Gas Plus, who is an 88.3 WAFJ Business Ministry Partner, is also usually priced a bit cheaper than some of the chain gas stations.

-Katie Porter from Focus on the Family joined us this morning to talk about an adoption event they are hosting this Saturday in Norcross (Atlanta area). It's called "Wait No More: Finding Families for Georgia's Waiting Kids." If you're considering adoption, it would be worth the drive to hear the information that will be presented.

-Jamie King of Evans provided our quick and easy recipe for Simple Cooking this morning with her Cola Onion Pork Chops. The recipe is in the post above this one.

-After a Tampa mom became fed up with her son's indifference toward his school work, she made him stand on a street corner holding a sign that said "GPA 1.22...Honk if I need an education." If you're a parent who's been in a similar situation, what have you found to be helpful in motivating your child to do well in school? Join the conversation on the 88.3 WAFJ Facebook page.
