Celibate and Sane: My Breakfast Radio Program Over Christmas

My Breakfast Radio Program Over Christmas

Our radio station is moving to a new location while we get our new land, building & plans approved.

From 17 December, the radio will be aired directly from the transmission towers and so there will be no live announcing for two to three weeks.

I spoke to our station manager about what I could do over the Christmas/New Year break. While pre-recording is possible, it takes almost as long to pre-record it as it does to actually do the program, so I would need to find 20 to 30 hours free time.

Peter Sellers was a member
of "The Goon Show" before
gaining success as an actor.

We discussed possibilities and have decided instead to air Radio Rewind shows for the whole two hours I normally do for breakfast, ie programs from yesteryear that are up to half an hour in length. So, for the past couple of weeks, I've been very busy trying to get the programs up and ready and so far have fifteen episodes of "The Goon Show" and fifteen of "Our Miss Brooks" with Eve Arden prepared. That's one hour of the two hours taken care of. Yay!

Fortunately I've just received some new CDs of old radio programs I'd purchased and have a bigger supply of show options. Now that I'm halfway there, the task doesn't seem quite so daunting anymore.

Personal Quotes from Vicki-S

"Occasionally I find my breakfast a little bitter, and sometimes it's difficult to chew and swallow; though at other times it's sweet, but it’s very satisfying and always sustains me. My most important meal of the day, is feasting on God’s Word and drinking up His presence."

I love me, because God loves me. It's not that God doesn't see my flaws, they are like blazing torches in His eyes, but rather that He sees past my imperfections and still loves me. And who am I to argue with the perfect God that I am worthwhile, that I am worthy of love, and that He accepts me and wants me to be His child, His beloved daughter? When I understood this, I began to accept and embrace His version and His vision of me, and not the world's.

"The silent treatment and sulking are simply two other weapons in the arsenal of the manipulator."

"Often people use the metaphor of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon to describe how we can grow from difficult experiences, but what they don't mention is the fact that at first we start off as an ugly caterpillar."

"We so often just get caught up in trying to just get through each day, that we forget to pause and be thankful for the fresh one that is presented anew and untouched each morning."

"Contrary to what we might think, forgiveness isn't so much about healing our relationship with that other person, but about healing our own broken heart."

"The purpose of school reunions is to show off how much you've achieved in life, to laugh at the once popular kids who've aged more quickly than you; and to wince at the guy who was a bully in school and who aptly became a policeman."

"I've found in many organisations where volunteers are needed, including the modern-day church, that 80% of its people sit back and let everyone else do most of the work, then there's the 10% who actually make the place run, and the remaining 10% just like to whinge about the 10% doing the work, especially about how they could do it better."

"When traced back to its source, every sin, every despicable act, and every war was motivated by someone's selfishness."

"I do not want to think of man, for that would distract me from God. But if I focus on God, I cannot help but think of my fellow man, and each day God keeps the scales balanced so that I have enough within me to do both."

"Overcoming depression isn’t about changing ones attitude, or just ‘getting on’ with things, it’s like removing one’s personal black shroud one thread at a time, with ones teeth.”
