Thank God for the internet

I am of all people most blessed....

I started out way too early this morning, a rare Saturday appearance at work. I would say that I had to work today, but instead I will say that I had the chance to make some extra money.

The WIXYmobile wouldn't start, the starter was dead, so I had to drive the MrsWIXYmobile to work.

I put in five hours, two of them paid time and a half. First overtime pay in about a month. I was in a production capacity this morning, every once in awhile checking my email. JimOhio checked in. I sent a reply, then back to the cutting torches.

About 11:00am, I was getting ready to clock out to go home. Check around cyberspace one last time before I leave. There were two responses on my last post, both commenting on the same item. WZZP, who offered his friendship in an unselfish sort of way this past week when I was way in the valley has this way of bringing a smile to my face. You see, Levi is our mutual imaginary Amish friend, brought up during a sarcastic moment on a message board. WZZP lives one county away from me. We are going to physically meet some day because there is a good chicken restaurant around the corner from his house.

The other response was from Liquid. She responds to many of my posts since we discovered each other's blogs. Liquid is a photographer who can make most imperfections look like pieces of art. I doubt if we will ever physically meet, but she has touched my life in a big way since we met on the world wide web. We both agree that blogging for us is so much better than MySpace.

In about five weeks I will be celebrating my first anniversary as a blogger. Then I will be mentioning all my inspiration and high points in doing this blog. Sometimes when I'm feeling low, I read my blog, looking for comments. Most comments make a frown turn upside down. And to that I say...


Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

And I enjoy hearing from all of you!

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...

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...

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?
