Automobile University- A great place to beat the blues

I've about given up on getting much useful information from the radio on my commute to and from work. That's a sad thing for me to say, especially since I have a number of folks who read my words that are either current or former radio station employees.

But motivational speaker Zig Ziglar has given many the following idea- Turn your car to Automobile University. I spend about as much time in the WIXYmobile everyday as I would in a classroom if I would be taking two college courses.

Last night I loaded into my trusty mp3 player "48 Days to the Work You Love", the weekly radio program hosted by Dan Miller and Tim Knox, originating from Nashville Tennessee. I am one who is always looking for ways to expand my horizons and keep my options open. Even if you aren't looking for a new job, this podcast will give you new ideas on enhancing your present situation. If you happen to feel stuck in your current J-O-B then the podcast might be something you might want to look into.

Also being someone who likes Christian teaching programs, I will load "Proclaim!" the Moody program, as this week they are featuring a message by E.V. Hill given at Founders Week in 1980.

Many complain about what's on the radio. With the help of modern technology, I am doing something about it, at least for myself.

I understand what you're saying and
I think what you're doing is great.
I bought an after market radio/CD
player for my car and I listen to
CD's more than anything else.
It also has a plug for an mp3 player if I ever buy that Zune I have my
eye on. Almost makes me wish I had
to commute. NOT!

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing.  The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
