Celibate and Sane: Arrgh!

October 21, 2010

Arrgh!

I have decided that for the moment, I hate computers. At least until I get my new one up and running properly. I've had so many problems with getting my old programs going and having to reload stuff and then finding some of the reloading simply didn't work. Arrgh!

Fortunately I didn't lose any of my photos, though I had the majority backed up on memory stick just in case.

By the weekend I imagine that the computer will be a little easier to use, though it's new operating system is a little confusing. After six years with the old computer, it is hard to adapt to a new way of finding files etc.

I'm at the radio station at the moment and found myself with a few spare minutes to dash off today's blog entry. Earlier I mentioned that one of my spots each week is Radio Rewind where I share a portion of a radio program from yesteryear (when radio was king). Next week is part two of a monster show about the search for the abominable snowman.

I'm presently looking at what I will do on the week after that and have decided to do a comedy segment. So I am downloading Charlie McCarthie (a ventroliquist dummy presented by Edgar Bergen) who was very popular on the radio waves back on the 1940s or 50s. They were so popular, they had their very own radio program. Should be interesting - let's hope he's actually funny!

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.”
