In The News:

To the tune of "Chain breaker":

If you're driving and it's so doggone cold outside,

If you wish that you were wrapped up warm inside,

If you're bouncing and maybe you just might slide,

There's a better ride, there's a better ride.

If you got chills... He's a chills taker,

if you feel cold... He's a cold breaker,

If you need heating, a sweater, He's an icicle shattering Savior,

You got chills... He's a chills taker!

(Lyrics by Terry Snyder & Tina Halstead)
