Things We Talked About Today

-Cleve has entered the 21st century by enrolling in direct deposit for his paycheck. John has been trying to convince him that is so much more convenient, but Cleve has always preferred the face-to-face interaction of visiting the bank. The funny thing is that despite direct deposit saving Cleve a trip to the bank, he missed visiting it so much that he went there yesterday to withdraw some money just so he could have the personal interaction with a teller!

-We mentioned that the personal interaction may become costly as some banks are starting to charge monthly fees for transactions with a live teller. The free alternative is to use automated deposits at ATM machines.

-Say thanks to your pastor by entering them to win a trip to the Catalyst Conference in Atlanta, October 6-8. The entry form is at www.wafj.com.

-Our movie guy, Bob Waliszewski from Focus on the Family, gave us the family-friendly perspective on this weekend's new releases. He does not recommend Easy A and gave Alpha and Omega a 3 out 5 rating because of "wink, wink humor" that wasn't necessary for a movie targeting children. Bob does recommend Amish Grace which is out this week on DVD. For those still wanting to see What If, it's no longer playing in Augusta but will be out on DVD in December.
-Bowen Hammitt, son of Matt from Sanctus Real, is doing so well after heart surgery that doctors are ready to stitch his chest back together this afternoon. Updates are at http://www.bowensheart.com/.

-Another 88.3 WAFJ artist is having medical issues with a child. Aaron Shust's son, Nicky, is not able to hold down food. He is using a feeding tube until doctors can figure out what he can eat. Tests showed that he has a lot of food allergies, and this is creating a huge complication. Updates are at http://twitter.com/aaronshust and http://aaronshust.blogspot.com/.

-John has two thoughts on potty training:
1) It's God's way of teaching patience to parents
2) It should be considered a sport, with all of the cheering involved and the hurried trips to the bathrooms to avoid an accident
Evan has turned a corner and is hopefully on his way out of pull-ups!

-Coming up Monday...Cleve tells us how he rescued his daughter from frogs, and we're giving away stuff! You could win a family four-pack of tickets to the Mayhem and Misdirection show with master illusionist Harris III and comedy group 321 Improv. It's happening on Friday, September 24th at The Sanctuary in Evans. Listen to win at 6:10 with the Monday Morning Mindbender and at 7:40 with the Cheapie of the Week. Plus, we'll be giving away Matthew West concert tickets throughout the week. When you hear a Matthew West song on the morning show (between 6 and 9 am), be the first to call and correctly identify the song, and you'll win a pair of tickets to his October 1st concert in Grovetown.
