Good Bye & Hello

I am sorry to say that I have come upon some difficult times and my Internet is about to be shut off.
I lost my cable TV some time ago and that was very harsh because for the first time I’ve had to face life without the CBC. [Gasp!]
In the “olden” days when you couldn’t afford cable you still got TV signals through the air. So we still received at least the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp) and CTV (Canadian Television). Now with this new way of transmitting: No box; No TV.
Now my Internet is going too. I’m not sure how life will look like without that. So much of our business is done on the Internet.
But I’ve been in this position before and knew that God would restore me to the Internet if He wished me to be on it (and He put me back on it for 3 more years).
Also, without TV, in the extra quiet time, I have been able to hear Jesus say all sorts of things. (I wonder how much God says that we don’t hear simply because everything else is turned up too loud?)

But I must admit that I have missed watching a few TV shows. Especially Masterpiece (Downton Abby and The Paradise) on PBS and The Mentalist on CBS and the new show, Hostages.  And of course the sermons of Charles Price (Living Truth), Charles Stanley (In Touch) and David Jeremiah (Turning Points).
Sunday just hasn’t been the same !

But as to “The Mentalist”, I have written much on the identity of Red John and just as we are about to learn his identity, I am shut down. (Although, I'm certain I already know who Red John is - and I'm sticking to my theory. It's not over until the series is ended ... and they start filming a Mentalist Movie). 


However, I don’t want my faithful readers to suffer, so I have asked Hal Cull (who is responsible for all the great Red John COMMENTS) to continue posting on this blog as a “resident guest writer”.

Hal will continue to summarize episodes of The Mentalist and give us his keen insight as to the identity of Red John which has made my viewing of the show much more enjoyable. I know you will all appreciate what he has to say and give him a warm welcome. I have never bestowed the privilege of “ resident guest writer” to anyone on ANY of my blogs, so that should tell you how much I value what he has to say.
Thanks to you Hal for making my Mentalist viewing more interesting and entertaining because I could share it with you. Go get ‘em.

I have been watching TV and movies since I was in diapers. It is truly my most enjoyable pass time. But I warn you to remember to NOT settle for anything sub-par. You vote for what you want by what you watch, listen to, read and especially what you spend your money on. If you don’t accept garbage, then they will stop making it! 

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. (Philippians 4:8)
