Introducing a new friend who reached out in a time of need

It's probably no secret that most of my posting this past week has been more out of a sense of responsibility than out of my love of communication. You have all reached out to me a lot more than I've reached out to you, and for that I'm grateful.

I have also picked up three new followers, one of which has been back several times to check up on me. And the part of this which is becoming the norm here is this person is a recovery blogger. I love all my friends, but the recovery bloggers are building a very special place with me and making me believe that we all need to find a twelve step program tailor made for just us. Cliff Note: I do carry around a copy of the "Big Book" which I bought at the AA headquarters in Akron, Ohio, where AA began.

Introducing All's Fair in Love and Alcohol. It's written by Gin, and yes I did think that was rather amusing and ironic. Gin, like others, is a member of Al-Anon. She has quite a broad readership, so I do feel flattered that she has decided to not only list me as a follower, but put me on her side bar.

Some of her posts are quite humorous but all are insightful. As I normally do on these type post, I will tell you to check out All's Fair in Love and Alcohol, especially her latest post, titled Dear Angry Salad Bar Lady. This is one instance where you cannot have too much Gin.

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?
