Ramblings from the Ol' Broadcaster

Yes, there is a song about it. I have read countless articles and blogs about it. I have heard and preached sermons on it and even read books about it. Respect. So why another blog on a dull topic? Because somewhere our society has dropped the ball. Somehow, somewhere, a generation has danced through life without knowing how to show respect or what it even means. A couple of examples. I have taught my son, and I practice it as well, to hold the door open for people in a public place if they were entering or leaving behind you. Especially older people or mom's with children, etc. To me that is respect and mannerly. This past week I was walking toward a store and I saw an elderly man with a cane headed to the door as well. I sped up a little (I don't have high gear) so that I could open the door and hold it open for the gentleman. Just before I got to the door, 2 teenagers just about knocked that man down and ran into me so that they could beat the "old dude and ...

I am so excited for this year's 16th Region Tournament.  For years I have really wanted to do something very different but never had the opportunity because I was broadcasting games and had nobody to really do what I envisioned.  This year, I am in a position to try out an innovative concept for Kool Hits and the Schoolboy Radio Network that I think will be amazing. Each night of the 16th Region Tournament we will begin at 5:20 with our Game Changer PreGame Show.  In that show we will set the stage for the upcoming night of 16th Region Tournament basketball.  We will be switching back and forth from our studio to Johnson Arena with broadcasters and coaches.  We have added some VERY special features that I am very proud of during our Game Changer PreGane Show. "Rules of the Game"  Each night we will be joined by KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett to explain some of the more common yet misunderstood rules in basketball. "Blast from the Past" ...

Today was an extremely difficult day.  On my way to join my "teammates" on The Breakfast Club, I was told of the passing of the ring leader of that exclusive club, Mark Justice.  His passing was sudden and unexpected.  It has been a bad day. After most difficult days, I find myself in the solitude of my paint studio.  Today was such a day.  As I stood gazing at the blank canvas, I felt a peace and comfort come over me.  At that moment these thoughts came to me.  I would shared them with my amazing radio family and it was suggested I blog them for you his fans. I am convinced that there is a place deep in the recesses of our hearts, a place where only you and God have a key.  Deep in that cavern of the heart, is where we lock away memories; the good memories of our lives.  I firmly believe God designed us in such a way that when we feel like we cannot go on, our memories can help sustain us.  Of course, God’s grace, love an...
