Cardinal Loans has teamed up with the First Baptist Church of Moore to collect items to help our Neighbors in Oklahoma.  They will be collecting donations until May 31, then sending donations directly to Moore.

A lot of people are doing some amazing "homegrown" grassroots efforts to help the victims of the Oklahoma tornado disaster. We have been bringing you the ones we know of on the air to help with the cause.

I encountered a great "Pay It Forward" moment Friday, and wanted to share it in hopes that I might get a word of thanks back to the person that did it, and it might cause other people to do it!
