Post 200!!!

I had to wonder when I started writing this blog last August, if I would fizzle out any time soon. Well it's been over ten months now and I am sitting at my home computer typing post number 200.

In last ten months, I've gotten some relatives, some folks at work, and some of those who post on the message boards that I frequent to give this blog a look see. I've been able to promote a very hard working and devoted group of students, the Rittman band, along with their boosters, whom I call the World's Greatest Band Boosters, or WGBB(tm), for short.

I got me some bylines in the local weekly paper, The Post. I also had a distant relative get in touch.

I've been able to dwell upon my interests, and vent when the world isn't going the way I think it should.

I've had comments, both in the comment section here, and via email, and most of them have been of the positive variety.

And, as Mary Ann at work has told me, I've had the chance to try my hand in mass communication.

I want to thank those who encourage me to write these words and check here every day, those who get me to thinking that maybe I have something interesting to say after all.

WIXY, Congrats! That's awesome. Your blog is enjoyable and not full of the stuff on other message boards. Plus, it's fun to read about the goings on in band. I played tuba in high school.

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?
