Blessings

While emotionally, I'm not yet at 100%, I do want to get back posting some. I've noticed in leaving comments at other blogs, I've got to tame the inner snark.

I feel blessed at the support I have gotten from my blog friends, not only from the comments, but from my email also.

A friend like Liquid is a treasure that can't be bought. She is an expert on giving a hug from 800 miles away and was a great help when I was doubting my ability as a father and husband.

Pilgrim and Frasypoo got right on the ball when it came to offering up prayers for me. They were among the first I contacted.

Amias gave me support just with her continuious visits to see if anything new was written.

I didn't feel much like writing many emails. I would just forward my Turning Point devotionals as I got them. I hope they were a blessing. thank you for the emails I got from those saying they were praying for my family.

I also thank all my local friends, Scott, Struke, and Brenda. Brenda is always there to give me support, as most of you know. She checks on me if she doesn't hear from me. Scott had shot me an email minutes after I wrote the last post. Struke, who is fast becoming a friend of many on my blog roll asked me to keep him updated.

Thank you all.

Liquid,

I figured the storms had something to do with it.

You were there for me when it meant the most.

Cliff you are loved ... you are appreciated, we are blessed by you --- I think there are no accidents and God put us in the way of each other. Some of us are strong at times, some of us are weak at times --- but with friends there is always a good balance.

You have a good day Cliff ... as I am still praying for all of us.

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...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...
