A few PK highlights


This past Friday my son, Adam(aka WIXYjr) and I went to the Wolstein center, in Cleveland. The attraction there was Promise Keepers. They have been to Cleveland 4 times. I have been at 3 of the conferences. This is Adam's second. It was at Adam's insistence we went. At first I balked because of missing a football game. I relented. I'm glad I went; otherwise I would have missed many tremendous blessings.


I did get to see a football player. The emcee for the event was retired New England Patriot Don Davis. He even showed off one of his two championship rings,as he figured folks in Cleveland never saw one(Cliff Note:Probably won't for awhile)

We were treated to a visit from no other than......John Morgan, who did a dead on impression of our commander in chief, whatsizname.

Although I didn't go to the football game, I did see people make very important decisions in huddles. Decisions that would have an important bearing on their lives.

In addition, I also got to see a band, the Promise band and worship leader Steven Newby. I promise in the next few days to give some of my impressions from Promise Keepers. Stay tuned over at Seek Him First.

I'm laughing at your foot note about the Cleveland football team--HA!

A friend my husband works with has attended the PK events in the past. He speaks highly of them as a worthwhile experience in spiritual growth.

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...

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...

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?
