Real life in the way

Okay, here's what's happening:I am working on my latest "I like...Because" post. It's incomplete and in draft. The photo I want to load on it are in the laptop and I'm writing this post on my desktop as I prepare to go to work.

I couldn't think of another post to write now. It's more being a grandparent than writer's block. We were babysitting the grandchildren, so I was busy playing with them. I will send you around to other blogs to see what I've been impressed with lately.

Brenda, tells us about a story that shows us that even smaller towns have moments that moms like her don't like to hear about in a post at Snicker*Snicker*Snort called Panic Attack for Mom.

When is it appropriate to send thank you notes? Leesa gives us her thoughts about that subject at her blog, Leesa's Stories.

Clean and Crazy gives me props and sends readers to a cancer survivor's blog from a post in My Recovery, called caring, sharing, and having hope.

Sue reflects on the saddest day of her life on her blog Sue Wilson's Voiceover. Read her latest post called Fig Newton Moments.

In I'm Just F.I.N.E., Syd tells of a memorial service he recently attended for a profoundly retarded brother of a friend of his in a post titled We are Each Handicapped.

Check out all of these great blogs and have a great day.

Oh,I almost forgot that I wrote a new poem at Whattville is on the Other Side of the Tracks, called Where Can You Blog?

Thanks Cliff. You do a lot of good with this blog. Always sharing and always linking to others. I appreciate your comments. I can imagine that playing with the grandkids would be better than blogging.

Thanks for the shout-out. I read Sue Wilson but for some reason, I missed Fig Newton Moments.

And some distractions (grandchildren) are good distractions.

I think you should start a bloggers banned list and put that Pat guy at the top (and bottom and every line in between).

Grandchildren have a way of making us forget for a while!

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?
