I like Amelia because...


To the newer readers of this blog, I want to introduce you to Amelia, of Amel's Realm fame. Amelia had the distinction of being my first European blogging buddy. I met Amelia through my semi inactive Terre Haute, Indiana friends. She has a very bubbly personality and it shows through her blogging.

Amelia comes to us from Finland but is a native of Indonesia. She moved to Finland to be with the love of her life Arrtu, or R-2. She does a lot blogging both in English and Finnish. Being one of my facebook friends, I have seen her post both and have teased her about it. Finnish is a language very new to her, but very necessary for her to learn in order to do things as simple as shopping or hold down a job.

Now you recovery bloggers will like this. Amelia writes a periodic post entitled 3BT. That stands for 3 Beautiful Things, but there are always more than three. It's a gratitude list that she shares with all who stop by. And like the recovery bloggers, she always describes the most simple things to be grateful for. She has a very sweet spirit about her.

Of course I want you to go to Amel's Realm and check it out. Leave her a very nice comment. I know she will do the same for you. If you read this in the next few hours(it's 7:34edt) go on over and leave a comment. It's the middle of the night over there. Let's surprise her when she awakens.

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?
