End of Week Notes

Followup on last post: We went to the fish fry this evening, my father-in-law driving to, and me driving from. This is the first time in five months that he has driven anywhere. His health continues to improve and this was good for his and his wife's mental health. This is good before the garage and yard sale season begins. They always like to check them out.

My favorite morning radio show personalities have written interconnecting posts on their respective blogs. Earlier this week, Sue Wilson gave her list of gratitudes, giving credit to our own MsHen aka Betty Ann.

Scott Wynn noted on his blog that Sue's post inspired him to write a list of "Springtime Renewelutions." He also encourages all readers to email him a list of their own.

It's me again, Margaret: A blog that I've been following a little bit closer of late is called Bellathena's Blog. Margaret is the keeper of this blog, named after her dogs, Bella, and Athena. In it she spins yarns about her life, yarns about her dogs, and yarns about...yarn. I met Margaret through Pigeon and Jen, as she participates in A-Z Mondays and Weird Object Friday. She also attended the College of Wooster. But that brings up something I've been curious about for years: Wooster, Ohio has two instutions of higher education, the College of Wooster and an extension of THE Ohio State University, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, or OARDC. But guess which place offers wearing apparel that says "COW?" One clue, it's not the agricultural center.

Have a happy first day of Spring.

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?
