If you don't like the weather in Northeast Ohio...

I am now typing this here at the WIXYranch. I am looking out my window at sunshine and a blue sky. I just got a call from Ed Sims, director of the Rittman marching band. There is currently a thunderstorm in Mogadore and the band show has been cancelled. My 2008 debut as the "voice" will delayed.

Cliff Note 8:07pm: I just thought about this. It was five years ago when we went to the Mogadore show on the day of the blackout, which affected much of the northeastern United States. The show was not called because of a lack of electricity. Today the show was called off because of too much electricity(in the air.)

In other news, my father in law had his surgery today and is all went well. At this time he is resting.

I was talking with LuAnn last night and she was remembering the black out as well.
Have a good day.

I'm glad the surgery went well for your father-in-law. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

I guess there's not much you can do about the thunderstorms that come. As you say, just wait a bit and the weather will change.

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?
