I'm fine...and other notes

Please accept my apology for being a lazy blogger. It occurred to me that it's been 5 days since I've posted here and figure that I better put up an update before people started worrying or, in the case of my personal friends, yelling at me.

I want to wish all the fathers reading this a happy Father's Day. Show your dad some appreciation today if he's still around. And say a prayer for people like Struke, who lost his dad a few months ago. I will be mowing my father in law's lawn this afternoon. My dad has been gone for almost nine years.

My Sunday Musing today was supposed to be about organization and procrastination. This wasn't planned but I'm putting this off until next week. I lost some motivation the past few days.

There will be a book review coming up. I have been redeeming some time by reading. I received a book last week and although I've already read it, I find myself not able to put it down. I reviewed it before and I found some different things during this read.

Enjoy the first day of summer!

Happy Father's day to you Cliff.
I love the irony of your Sunday musing. Looking forward to it next week. Or the week after. :)

Cliff, thank you and Happy Father's Day to you.

It still doesn't feel right that my Dad is no longer here. I'm not sure I will ever get used to him being gone.

I miss my dad still. Glad that you are doing such a good deed on Father's Day.

I find that sometimes the blog is just not on my mind and instead of apologizing I'm trying to realize that maybe I just don't have anything worthwhile to say that day and that's ok. Hope you had a nice Father's Day.

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...

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...

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?
