1.) The 59th Annual Grammy Awards! Click HERE for a complete list of winners! I’ll jsut say this about the show… Wierd Stuff. What was Beyonce doing? Adele kept cussing. AND, no mic for the lead singer of Metallica. Ouch! But… through all the craziness, the country winners and performances were awesome! Hats off to Sturgill Simpson and Maren Morris for their wins! Joey and Rory win for their album, “Hymns”, which they recorded while Joey was undergoing chemotherapy. Hillary Scott won her first grammys without Lady Antebellum — Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for “Thy Will”, and Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for “Love Remains”.

2.) Monday Morning Motivation: 14-year-old Trashaun Willis.
An 8th grader in Iowa who born with one arm has been creating a lot of buzz and inspiring basketball fans all over by dunking the ball during games. 14-year-old Trashaun Willis – who happens to be 6-foot-3 – said being born with one arm has only pushed him to work harder. He says he’s used to being looked at as an underdog, so it makes him perform harder and try to do better than everyone else. And, all that work is paying off. His coach explained that he’s doing more than dunking out there. Trashaun dribbles, passes, and shoots – even long shots – in a way that almost looks seamless. Beyond basketball, Trashaun also competes in track and football, bringing that same intensity to everything he does. (click HERE for audio)

4.) “Puppy Love”!!
According to a new survey, we really, really love our dogs … and should pretty much admit they are our real Valentines.
- 87% of respondents said they are more accepting of their dog’s irritating behaviors – snoring, snacking, making a mess – than they are of their partner’s irritating behavior.
- 28% said they’d opt to share their bed with the dog rather than their partner.
- More than 50% said they were more comfortable being affectionate with their pups in public than with their significant other.
- On average, people in relationships tell their dogs they love them six times per day … roughly as often as they tell their partners.
- 85% of dog owners said their pet had helped them get through a hard time in their life.
- Dog owners post pictures or mention their dogs on social media an average of six times a week.
- 11% have even created a dedicated social media account for their pet.
- And how comfortable are we in front of our dogs? The survey found that one-third of people admitted they’d had sex in front of their dogs.
- Oh, and one more thing … almost 20% of pet owners give Valentine’s Day gifts to their pets.
