Radio Station

The brain is like a one-frequency, twenty-four hour a day radio station.  Have you ever been able to turn it down or turn it off? (Richard E. Henthorn, 6 January 2012) 16 April 2012

A Monumental Task

Changing our whole way of thinking is a monumental task, not to be taken lightly.  (One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 16 December)

Yesterday, I spent some time learning about how the Apps on Spotify work.  There were two pre-installed: Radio and 123 Top Lists.  I particularly like the Radio app.  You can have Spotify chose songs to play based on an album or an artist.  It's a good way to get exposed to lots of new songs and new artists.  I hope there aren't plans to force those using the "free" version of Spotify to convert to the Premium version.

Truth

Truth is truth and that's all there is to it.  Anything we can add to it doesn't make it better.  (Steve Case, Everything Counts, 3 December)

It is a truth of life that in many ways it is easier to stand adversity than to stand prosperity.  Ease has ruined far more men than trouble ever did.  (William Barclay, The Letter To The Hebrews, p. 126)

"Truth is always strong no matter how weak it looks, and falsehood is always weak, no matter how strong it looks."  (Phillips Brooks in Chapter-By-Chapter Bible Commentary by Warren W. Wiersbe, p. 841)

Fight for what's right.  Fight for others.  (Steve Case, Everything Counts, 16 December)

This morning I'm listening to the The Wronglers with Jimmy Dale Gilmore - Heirloom Music.  I received this CD as a premium for supporting the PBS Internet radio station of WAMU - BluegrassCountry.org.  For a while I thought the CD wasn't going to arrive.

Yesterday, Jim Mc. called to let us know he arrived safely in Gulfport, MS.  We hope he has a wonderful time visiting with family and friends.  In the evening I called Tom W. in Wichita, KS.  Tom and I went to the same high school but didn't meet until the second year of college when he came to Pittsburg, KS.

Put yourself through a self-improvement project that is designed to maximize your state of mind, body, and spirit.  Write your own personal curriculum and apply it each day.  (Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Wisdom Of The Ages, p. 165)

I've been listening to several Internet radio stations and recording some of the music.  I'm using the program, StreamWriter.
