I'm Looking Ahead!

I started out writing a "poor, poor Cliff" post. I deleted it. I'm tired of feeling sorry for myself. I'm sure most of you are tired of it too.

Things at the WIXYranch have pretty much hit rock bottom. So unless someone is down here with a jackhammer, all I can say is the only direction I can go is up.

Today is Easter, a day that is a celebration of newness of life. Opening day is next week. Warm weather will be here soon and I can ride my bicycle soon. I need to, and I will, drop some pounds. I will also write about it.

You can also look for some springtime in Wayne County, Ohio photos here.

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Are you all with me?

cliff--when i find myself throwing a pity party, GOD The Father reminds me of the cousel Paul gave the church in Phillipi:
"4Always be full of joy in THe LORD, I say again, rejoice!!
5Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all you do. Remember The LORD is coming soon.
6Don't worry about anything: instead pray about everything; tell GOD your needs, and don't forget to thank HIM for His answers.
7If you do this, you will experience GOD's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. HIS peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in CHRIST JESUS.
8And now brothers, as I close this letter, let me say this one more thing:
Fix your thoughts an what is true and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others.THink about all you can praise GOD for and be glad about.
9Keep putting into practice all you have learned from me and saw me doing, and THE GOD of Peace will be with you." Phil4:4-9LB

don't get discouraged, GOD is right there with you and your family. so is your church family as well as your blogging extended family.

take comfort that your brother is now risen and living with CHRIST in Heaven.

remember, that one day, we too will also arise to meet HIM.

rejoice that JESUS AROSE so that we can live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Easter--CHRIST IS RISEN!!!!

YES!

But I don't think of what you share as "pity party" .. as some of what you share reminds me how blessed I am that I am not alone.

But OK, let's party! Because I am way past being sick and tired of being sick and tired!

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

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil
