Some people don't know how badly they need a new way of life until disaster overtakes them.  (One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 21 November)

People who have no future hope have no motivation for life today.  (Warren W. Wiersbe, Chapter-By-Chapter Bible Commentary, p. 836)

Not everybody who asks for help should receive it.  (Warren W. Wiersbe, Chapter-By-Chapter Bible Commentary, p. 800)

True reconciliation is not cheap; there is a price to pay. (Warren W. Wiersbe, Chapter-By-Chapter Bible Commentary, p. 810)

I learned how to add comments to the thirty-eight videos I selected for my Sampler playlist I created for Mr. Dickie's Channel on YouTube.  There's a link to the Featured video page in the sidebar of this blog page.  You do not need to create a YouTube account to watch the music videos.

Don't simply make the best of it, make the most of it.
(after Warren W. Wiersbe, Chapter-By-Chapter Bible Commentary, p. 764)

Chronic suspiciousness is a character flaw, not a compliment.  (Larsen and Hegarty, Believing In Myself, 16 December)

I will not yield to my compulsion to go on talking after I have made my point ... (One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 1 December)

I continue to work on a project to create a YouTube channel for MrDickie1939.  I've made good progress.  I have it working with a Featured page which includes five Favorite videos.  There's a link to the Channel in the sidebar of this blog.

Keep Still

To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.  (John W. Roper in Believing In Myself by Larsen and Hegarty, 29 November)

I'm still on schedule to finish all of my 2011 reading on the last day of the month.  I've been reading twice a day rather than once a day.

Melva started baking Christmas cookies last night.  The house certainly does smell good during these projects.

As mentioned on Facebook I'm taking a look at whether we can cut back on our cable service.  The issue is whether we will have to give up a few of our favorite channels.  For example, I enjoy watching the Keith Olbermann show, Countdown, on the Currrent TV channel.  On the other hand, since a person can only watch one movie at a time, why is it necessary to have twenty movie channels?

Grandiose Claims

People will make grandiose claims and promises and will deceive many.  (Warren W. Wiersbe, Chapter-By-Chapter Bible Commentary, p. 650)

Yesterday I enrolled in Google+ at the request of a former co-worker.  I got some things to work.  Others will require more reading and testing.  I did manage to create a photo album and some circles.  There were only four friends already signed up.

I created a Channel on YouTube and created a playlist.  I don't really understand the purpose of a Channel.  The songs I posted to the playlist played.

It's fun trying out all of the apps.  Of course everything takes more time than anticipated.

I discovered a new singer, Prisilla Ahn.  She's very good looking and has a very nice voice.  I searched to see if I could find her on Spotify.  I found her album - A Good Day, with eleven tracks.  I'm listening this morning while posting to my two blogs.
