Jordan Rich's interview Friday night with Upton Bell was radio.
Heard a municipal worker talking on his radio coming through my computer speakers Friday afternoon.
Regarding "The Second Amendment Show" on WYSL Rochester, you might want to use a different theme tune than the one "Coast To Coast" uses for it's opening.
The frequently zany scribblings of a well-rounded man with passionate opinions. Hey, it's better than "Something I put up because I needed to rant before my head exploded."

RADIO-RELATED STUFF
Enjoyed the excerpt of Glenn Hauser's interview on the BBC on his most recent broadcast.
Glad WABC is going to have more local programming. I also like what Jimmy Decastro has done with
WGN.
Nothing on WTWW 9475 this morning; not even a carrier.
This morning's episode of "Under The Influence" was interesting.
Picked up WBBL 1350 tonight. Was also picking up an adult standards station on 1320 competing with CJMR. I've probably given the call letters of that station before on this blog but can't remember them at present.
Tim Durkin had an interesting edition of "The Lorne Brooker Show" New Year's Eve Day. Shame it cut off.
Heard Brother Stair say last night he is no longer going to ask for money. Now all he'll have to keep his ministry going is the goodwill of his listeners and the million or so dollars he already has in the bank.

HOW TO GROW UP-DEATH
When we die, it is not the end for us.
For those who died in a proper relationship with Jesus Christ, they will be in Heaven. The Bible says "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." If we are also followers of Jesus, we can be sure we will see our loved ones in Heaven. (Note: If you're a Christian just because you want to see dead friends or relatives in Heaven then God will not regard that as a proper relationship with Him.)
For the rest of humankind who died without knowing the Lord, they will wind up in Hell. Though this may seem cruel and unfair, you have to remember that many people got the chance in their lifetime to hear about what Jesus did on the cross. They could have believed the Gospel and had a relationship with Jesus, but they chose not to do so.
For people who have never physically heard the Gospel, the Bible says in the Book of Romans that God is visible in the Creation or nature that exists around us. Even if someone has never heard the Gospel, if they are seeking a relationship with the true God, they will find Him.

HOW TO GROW UP-DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE
Everybody gets sad or upset about things. We all have things that bother us.
Our emotions are perfectly valid. The Book of Psalms in the Bible bears this out.
However, if you are truly depressed, anti-depressants are not the answer. The Bible calls those types of things witchcraft. The Greek word for witchcraft is the same word from which we get words like pharmacy. Also, do not go to a psychiatrist as such people also fall into this witchcraft category.
Instead, seek a proper relationship with Jesus Christ. (See the Bible, the Book of Acts, Chapter 2, Verse 38.) True happiness can only be found in a proper relationship with our Creator and Saviour.
If you're depression stems from a traumatic event, seek counselling from a trusted pastor or Christian counsellor. Also, go to God directly for help. God repeatedly tells us in the Bible that He wants human beings to pray to Him. We are told in the Bible to cast all our cares upon the Lord.
Suicide is never the answer to depression. Suicide is self-murder and if you commit it you will end up in Hell. When we face problems like being severely depressed, we can either look to God to deliver us and save us, or we can listen to the devil, the one who tells us to commit suicide. God assures us in the Bible that He will always provide a way out of different situations we face.

HOW TO GROW UP-SELF-ESTEEM
God created each one of us with our own unique gifts, talents and abilities.
Self-esteem can only come if we do two things.
First of all, we have to use the talents and abilities God has given us. It will do you no good to sit in your room and tell yourself, "I'm a caring person." You will know if you're actually a caring person if you do things to care for others.
Similarly, it will do you no good to practice a musical instrument in your room and tell yourself you're a good musician. The only true way you'll know you're a good musician is if you play with other people.
The second thing needed to build self-esteem is to have a proper relationship with Jesus Christ. To find out how to do this, look in the Bible at the Book of Acts, Chapter 2, Verse 38.
When we realize that Jesus is everything, we will realize we are nothing. The Bible says that in God "we live and move and have our being." If it weren't for God, human beings would literally be unable to do anything.
Once we have a proper relationship with Jesus Christ, we need to start "esteeming others as better than ourselves" as the Bible says and our Saviour Jesus Christ did when he lived here on Earth. Once we start treating other people as better than we are, that is the way to find true fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

HOW TO GROW UP-BODY IMAGE
God created each one of us in His image. When He had finished creating us, God called His creation "good."
God makes people the way He wants them to look. You don't need to loose weight just because the media or friends tell you you need to do so.
That being said, it is important for people to listen to their bodies. Sometimes you may think you're craving some junk food when your body is actually telling you to drink water or that you need a certain nutrient found in certain types of healthy food you haven't had enough of that day.
We also need to listen to all the other signals our body sends us, including feelings of tiredness and sickness coming on.

THE MOTHER OF ALL BABY BOOKS
I really would not recommend mothers take antidepressants for postpartum depression. If there are specific causes such as circumstances for the depression, it is best to deal with those. Postpartum depression can also be prevented by eating the placenta.
There are resources online as well as dvds that teach what a baby's specific cries mean. There is also a dvd that teaches how to tell what a baby needs before she cries by listening to the sounds she makes.
Colic can be cured or at least eased with massage.
Fluoride is a really terrible substance that can cause all kinds of harm to people, especially of course babies. There are studies showing that, contrary to strengthening teeth, fluoride actually breaks down teeth.
