ONE YEAR OF BLOGGING:Reaching out for more friends

Physically, I have never been farther north than Detroit, Michigan, no farther east than Long Island, no farther south than Birmingham, Alabama, and no farther west than Terre Haute, Indiana. But my blog has been around the world. a look at the site meter tells me that I've been viewed in most states, and many countries. I click on some of the referring url's and I see other blogs referring me as well as many search engines, some in languages I don't read.

Last post was about Liquid, a friend I would have never known, had it not been for the world wide web. Because of her, I am now expanding my reach outside of Northeast Ohio. Here are some of my new friends.

Pilgrim: He lives in Nova Scotia. His blog, Pilgrim's Scrawl, deals with his everyday life-his family, his job, his interests. Like myself, Pilgrim is a born again Christian who is not ashamed to mention it, or his latest Bible study in his blog. Pilgrim's wife, Virtue, and his children, Little Pilgrim and Baby Pilgrim, are subjects for posts also. He uses his teachable moments to teach us a lesson. Pilgrim introduced me to one of his friends north of the border:

Steve Malloy: His blog, Being Steve, gives us a humorous view in his personal, and sometimes professional life. He posted earlier this week about what he found out when he googled his own name.

Monday Morning Power: His real name is Mel Kaye, he hails from California, and writes a blog called Attitude, the Ultimate Power. Being one who enjoys reading motivational material, Mel's writings to me are enjoyable when I need a mental pick me up.

I urge you to check out all three of these blogs. If you find something you like, leave a message, as they always appreciate feedback. It lets them know that they're doing the job they set out to do, and that's to entertain and inspire. One note however: last time I checked, Steve's blog did not have comments enabled for the general public. Hopefully that will be rectified in the future.

Thank you very much for the mention and kind words Cliff. I really enjoy your blog and consider it a blessing to experience the gamut of intellectual and emotional experiences reading your blog.

I'm actually in New Brunswick but don't tell anyone as it may blow my annonymity :). On second thought, Nova Scotians are pretty decent people so I don't mind being associated with them.

Thanks again Brother!

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?
