Hale Center Insider

I'm not from Hale Center, but I love it here and am amazed how the "Hale Centerites" LOVE their (your) hometown!!  Terry and I are trying to keep everyone in touch via the Hale Center Insider and we love that it's so immediate. We are utilizing technology and going with the ever-changing times.

So many have moved away from where they were raised (much like yourself... and me) and the hometown newspaper is unfortunately not what it used to be.  It's not just here..it's Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, etc. where the newspapers are having to change their "normal" way of getting the news out. All over the nation people are getting their news on the Internet or TV because it is NOW...not a week from now or even tomorrow. So large and small newspapers are changing and putting their news on the Internet.  We don't want them (the written newspapers)  to "go away" because they are so much a part of especially a small town.  They depend so much on advertising dollars and subscriptions, so if you subscribe, please keep doing so. 

Some charge also for your news on the Internet,...but the Hale Center Insider is FREE. And...we can provide as many pics as we want, long or short stories, and any breaking news, we can have online within minutes!!  Like yesterday when the fire broke out northwest of town, we can post things quickly.

We need and want YOUR input too. Any history or old pics of HC that you may have and want to post in the Hale Center Insider, you can email it (or them) to us at literockonline@hotmail.com.

We also want to feature YOU as the LiteRock Star of the Day.  We can use your FB or Twitter Pic and if you'll send us some info about you to the hotmail email address above, we will have your pic and info on within the next week. You can go to the Hale Center Insider and get an idea of what others are saying (current or past).

Thanks for the prayers for what we're doing .  God is truly blessing the many, many hours we put in to make it work...but it's all worth it. So, go to http://www.halecenterinsider.com and take your time reading...and don't forget to listen to our Internet Radio Station 24/7 at http://www.LiteRockonline.com.

Thank you also for your support in spreading the word out about YOUR hometown.

We love y'all

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is a very special day to honor mothers, but for me anymore, it is so different.  I lost my Mom to an aortic aneurysm in 2003. It's amazing how much I still miss her (and hearing her sweet voice), especially on special holidays or occasions.


Mother's Day was always a special day to recognize what an awesome Mom she was.  Even if the miles were too great to be able to take her to lunch, I would send flowers, or a special gift, and always a phone call.  


She loved each of us kids unconditionally, like Christ loves us. Mama Fudge was an awesome Godly woman, and always going about trying to help others.  She dedicated her whole life and existence to caring for my mentally handicapped sister. Mom always said it was such an honor and privilege that God chose HER to care for Susie. My sister is such a kind and loving person and I know it comes from being cared for by our Mom.


I will take flowers out to her grave Sunday, but I know she's in Heaven with the Father still interceding for me and so many others.  I still feel her presence and love that she instilled in me all my life, and I know someday I will see her again. 

I'm very blessed to have 2 children of my own. Bryan who has 2 sons (Evan and Dylan) and April who has 2 sons (Kyle and Tyler).  They are kind and caring and love their Mama :0) I am here for them and I know they will always be there for me. They are a gift from God and I love them so much unconditionally!!

I am so blessed to have a wonderful Mother-In-Law, Mary Garrison.  She shows her love for me and her children (Terry, Susan, Larry and grandchildren) every day. She loves the Lord and is an awesome prayer warrior. I'm thankful to have her in my life!!


If you are fortunate to still have your Mom on this earth, please take the time to honor her this Mother's Day. The Bible says, 

Ephesians 6

 ^1-3 Children, do what your parents tell you. This is only right. "Honor your father and mother" is the first commandment that has a promise attached to it, namely, "so you will live well and have a long life." (The Message)

Faith and Patience

Our world is in such turmoil as I write this. The earthquake, tsunami, and if those two things weren't bad enough, the radiation leaks in Japan are horrific and unimaginable. They believe over 18,000 lives are lost and I'm sure the number will rise even further (unfortunately).  Now, the bombings in Libya to stop the "nut" Qaddafi (or however you want to spell it,,it's always different)..stop him from killing innocent people in his own country. He's now threatening to use mustard gas even in Europe (to the north of Libya). No one seems to know how this is going to end since it is unfolding quickly, and if he doesn't back down, who knows what will happen.  It seems there is unrest everywhere we look and people all over the world standing up for freedom.

BUT..God's Word said it would be this way, so we shouldn't fear, but expect the second coming of Jesus when these signs appear.  My faith is so strong and I believe God is in control and sees everything going on. I pray in these times that people will turn to Him for strength and comfort.

My therapy for my broken upper humerus (arm) is going well. It sure is a long road back to recovery but my faith again is strong that I will get full use of my arm and fingers. It may take a year, but everyday I will be going for the goal of complete recovery. That's where my patience comes in and choose not to get discouraged that I'm not there yet. Are you feeling that today about something in your life?

Don't forget to always turn on www.LiteRockonline.com to listen to while you're surfing the web or checking your emails. And...pass it on to a friend.  We appreciate all of you more than you can imagine!!

May the Lord bless your week.

TRUST AND FAITH

I started physical therapy Monday in Lubbock for my broken upper arm.  I learned so much on how to exercise the arm the RIGHT way.  Lex (the therapist) didn't hurt me at all ....like I do.  I have been of the mindset that no pain/no gain.  In losing weight that is the motto, but in the healing of my arm, that's not true. The little movements until the pain starts are what will help me heal (not pushing it past the pain).  I expect way too much of me and beat myself up because I'm not  using the arm/hand like I want and expected.  I would never have dreamed it would be 4 months and still barely able to use it.

God has taught me so much through this.  TRUST and FAITH.  Trusting in Him and His Word.  He has healed me before and saved me from the brink of death back in 1996, and I'm trusting Him now for the complete healing of my arm.  And...that's where FAITH comes in.  Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.  My faith is strong and I know He will see me/us through this.

The Tuesday Morning Show is about to start at 9am so I'll be talking to "y'all" then.  Make it a great day :0) 

You can listen to www.LiteRockonline.com 24/7, and the featured artist of the day is Tracy Lawrence at the top and bottom of each hour until midnight.

Thank you Lord and Thank YOU for the prayers!!

I have been trying to write all day and thank all of you for your concern and prayers for my broken arm and the nerve/muscle damage that has occurred because of the immobilization of the arm.  What a dilemma!! I had to keep the upper arm still so it could heal and that made the muscles weak (if you don't use them, you lose them I always heard and it's so true!!). Now my elbow won't straighten out, the right hand and fingers don't work well yet either because of the edema (swelling) and the pain is really bad. It's extremely painful to try and hold a pen to write a check, or a simple thing like trying to make a fist.

Yesterday Terry and I went to see Dr. Scovell at Lubbock Sports Medicine to see what can be done and what is the next step?  He assured us that with Physical Therapy (PT) and lots of hard work doing the right therapy, working through lots of pain, I will be able to get my hand/arm back. It's going to take a while, but that's ok, I just want to be able to do things again (fix my hair, do my makeup, etc).  We were so thankful that Dr. Scovell said he didn't think I needed surgery!! That's a real blessing because of underlying health issues, any surgery would be extremely dangerous for me.

We just feel like the Lord is hearing all of our prayers and He has led us to the right doctors. Again, thank you all for caring and the continued prayers through this. Jesus still heals today and He is going to see us through this.

Be sure to check back everyday to www.sallyandterrywright.com and see the video pick of the day and then click on Listen Live.  Join us for the Morning Show 9a-11a central time M-F. We have fun and love you being here and being a part of it.  No matter where you live in the world, you can hear LiteRockonline.com 24/7..The technology is amazing....what an awesome time we live in.

Until next time, remember..."With God all things are possible.".... We find faith by not only believing what Jesus says, but even more, by trusting Jesus Himself. If we only look at what He says, we will never believe. Once we see Jesus, the impossible things He does in our lives become as natural as breathing."
Oswald Chambers

The Last Day of February

Good Monday morning and welcome to the last day of February 2011.  The month went by so fast!!

Did you have a lot of wind where you are???? Yesterday was pretty wild here in Hale Center. There were times when we couldn't see the grain elevators across I-27.  I have been in Hale Center almost 12 years now and I have only seen a couple dust storms and this was a doozy. When I lived in the High Desert of California years ago (Victorville), there was one time I couldn't even see out the window of my house..it was solid dirt. I'm happy to say, yesterday was nothing like that. The fires that are still burning all around our area are bad. I pray they get them under control today :)

I think Terry had a wonderful birthday. We are still enjoying his birthday cake and ice cream. He was so "blown away" by all of the birthday greetings..y'all are fantastic.

Well, I go back to the "Morning Meeting" this morning at 9am central.  I'm so excited about it..I've missed y'all so much. Terry and I will be sharing everything going on locally and nationally and lots of MUSIC!!!!  Join us ok??  www.sallyandterrywright.com and then click on Listen Live :)  You can even request a song if you IM or chat..on FB I'm sally fudge wright / on Hotmail we're literockonline@hotmail.com.

Oh, as soon as you open our website, first check out our YouTube pick of the day... I promise...it will make you laugh!! In fact, thinking about it right now, I'm laughing out loud by myself :)

I hope you have a blessed day and week.

It's Terry's Birthday!!

It's Saturday morning (Terry's bday) and Terry and I are enjoying our coffee and listening to LiteRockonline.com while we're on our computers...lovin the music!!!  We slept in this morning just like he wanted. He gets up so early during the week to do the "early show" on www.LiteRockonline.com. Great news...starting Monday at 9 central, Sally and Terry Wright's Morning Meeting start back up...Ray..join us :)

We're going to have a wonderful day celebrating Terry's 52nd Birthday.  It's going to be about 78 degrees so maybe we'll even go for a walk with our little Ginger after we go where he wanted to go for lunch..SUBWAY!! And, we'll celebrate Mary and Tom's bdays there too.

I'm so glad Bryan made it safely to Las Vegas. He said the traffic was really bad getting out of LA because of the downpour. I hope it doesn't rain the whole time he's there...but what does it really matter when you're in the casino WINNING!!! Let me know how y'all did :)

I hope you'll check out our website: sallyandterrywright.com.  You can enjoy the Video of the Day (you'll be blessed),  then click the Listen Live to hear LiteRock while you peruse the site..
