Picked up 1320 Pitsburgh last night and tonight.
Called into CJMR tonight. It was cool.
Picked up 1630 KCJJ Iowa City last night relaying 99+ KFMH with lots of cool rock music.
Saddened at the news that WGN caller Larry from Aurora has died. I always looked forward to his calls to the Nick Digilio Show.
I notice CJYE (Joy 1250) has more teaching programs now.

KENNETH COPELAND GOD'S LOVING PLAN FOR YOU
The only major thing I would disagree with in this sermon concerns suffering.
Sometimes, Christians suffer because of disobedience or so that God can teach them something or have them grow in their faith. A great deal, or at least some of this suffering can be avoided if we are diligent to obey God and to study His word, taking the time to learn and grow in Him.
However, many Christians around the world also suffer precisely because they are Christians. This kind of persecution and suffering is glorious because it fulfills what Jesus said, that if the world hated Him it would hate and persecute His followers. This suffering represents fulfilled prophecy and in itself is a testimony that Jesus was who he claimed to be.
It is better to suffer for doing right because at least you did the right thing as opposed to suffering justly because you sinned.

CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN
by Dyan Sheldon. Cambridge, MA: Candlewick Press, 1999.
This book is too over the top.
Mary Elizabeth "Lola" Cep is a born actress. Her mother has moved the family from New York to Dellwood, New Jersey, a change Lola is not impressed with. She deals with competition from the "it" girl at school, attending her favourite band's farewell concert and having the lead role in the school's production of "Pygmalion."
At times, this book is just too much. For one thing, in real life the whole high school wouldn't revolve around rich girl Carla Santini. For another, the author makes one of the book's main themes painfully obvious from the beginning, then spells it out near the end. Lola's theatrics also get truly hard to take at times.

The March 25 issue of Maclean's contains an article about a new book on a more Biblical way to eat. Though I commend Maclean's for featuring such a book in their publication, I take issue with one thing the article says. In the article, the author of the book, who is a nutritionist, says fasting should be done under the supervision of a nutritionist. From everything I've heard, this is not true. Just eat what you would normally eat the night before. The morning after the fast is over, eat some fruit and something such as melba toast to reintroduce food to your body.
Scott Feschuk's column in the April 1 issue of the same magazine employed a different kind of hyumour than he usually uses.
There is an article in this week's edition of the online Matilda Ziegler Magazine for the Blind by a blind film critic. He reviews the audio description in movies. When I occasionally review movies on this blog, I don't worry about the fact I'm blind. I try to give the kind of brief review I would give to a friend who asked me if the film was worth seeing or not.

RADIO-RELATED STUFF
CINA was coming in really well tonight.
Heard a call to prayer on a station presumably from the Middle East last night.
Heard two different sermons by Brother Stair on the same frequency last night. (One would have been bad enough.)
