It is a question that gets asked a lot, ever since childhood you are asked this question …
Who is your favorite teacher? Your favorite friend? Your favorite ice cream, and so on. Then there is the flip of that when a kid asks their parents about their siblings “which one of us is your favorite?”

Remember those rides at amusement parks that had signs with a character holding of an arm and said “You must be this tall to ride.” Well, this is a story about a ride that made you even smaller than that.
It’s also going to be one of those blogs that give away my age again.
This one’s going to be a bit short folks.
I am in the midst of working on a Bible lesson I’ll be giving in Sunday School this weekend.
But the devil is putting up obstacles in my path.
No, I do not blame the devil for this. I don’t give credit to the devil for anything I do in my life. That’s not taking responsibility for my successes, failure, or mistakes.
It would be easy to blame him, especially when something goes wrong at absolutely the wrong time.
I am near finished in writing up this Bible study, but I want to include three or four drawings to illustrate parts of the lesson. So I turn on Photoshop and my Wacom table, which I use to do my webcomic and other artwork.
However, as I start drawing my mouse begins to slow down and it becomes a struggle to make the sketches.
Hopefully the computer isn’t going to crash on me. If I can’t do the drawings I’ll rework part of the lesson, but I also plan to use my laptop in class. It’ll be doomed if that happens.
Even if that happens, I refuse to give the devil credit for messing up my work.
I do know that I’m going to have to buy a new computer soon, but please dear God, not yet. I need a stable job before that happens.
It’s also the reason I have the Ko-Fi link on my page here. Any help is appreciated.
Talk to you next week and I’ll let you know how this turns out.
Thanks, God bless.
As the day before we drove down to the bus depot and caught the bus down to the Anaheim Convention Center. The price of parking there is just too high. In the past we’ve stayed at a local hotel, but that’s gotten to be too high as well. Hopefully, once I’m employed again, we’ll be able to stay for the entire weekend.
In the meantime, …
The movie Wicked is now streaming, but we did get to see it in the theater before it left. It is one of those films that is best seen on the big screen. Go out to movie theaters, people!
I absolutely enjoyed the play and liked the movie equally as much…
But this isn’t about the movie, rather the experience in the theatre and the Wicked Kid who sat behind us.
Remember in my last blog I mentioned that I didn’t know what I was going to write about? How I just rambled about walking around the neighborhood looking for ideas.
Well, God has other ways of providing interesting things for me to write about:
I had a visit from the police this morning.
There are times when you don’t know what to Blog about.
I know I need to create a calendar and list of ideas for upcoming blogs, but sometimes that takes as much work as writing the blog itself does.
So where do ideas come from? I have no idea.
Thoughts on two anime series my wife and I have been watch. It’s not a review, just expressing enjoyment:

HOW I WENT VIRAL AFTER FORGETTING TO TURN OFF MY STREAM
And
MANY SIDES OF VOICE ACTOR RADIO
Hi all,
I’ll be telling you about the Toastmasters speech in an upcoming blog once I get a good recording of it to share with you.
What I can tell you now is my nerves really got to me during the and I’m not really certain why.
I think it had to do with having to work with running my PowerPoint presentation on Zoom while maintaining eye contact with the camera while trying not to look at my script.
That’s all an excuse, I stumbled through it but I got it done. Surprisingly, people liked the speech, I’ll tell you about that soon.
I felt like I was back in school when I was scared to speak up at all. I’ve already told you about the one time in High School I gave a speech.
As an adult I was still nervous about doing any public speaking, but things began to change in our adult Sunday School when I began to speech up with my thoughts on what the teacher was saying and the Biblical verses we were studying. I then began finding myself volunteering to teach the class from time to time. My wife and I have taught together a few times as well. I was also being ask to do the Bible reading each week in class.
Then came the next and newest part of my life. An interest in Voice Acting. As a scriptwriter I wanted to know what the actor needed from me.
So, I took a voice acting class. I wasn’t expecting much, and certain I would be nervous stepping up to the mic in front of the entire class for the very first time.
You know what? I had no nerves what so ever and I read the script and performed with joy. I was so surprised by how I felt doing it I knew this was something I would continue to do. I would go on to take further voice acting classes over the next several years, have demo reels produced, and audition for roles.
So why did the nerves swell up during this speech? I really can’t say, but I won’t let them stop me from doing anything anymore.
Hope to have the speech up soon.
Kevin
If I’m going to keep this up, writing two blogs a week, I’ll need to learn how to be better plan them out in advance. I also have to schedule my writing periods for the blog in the middle of everything else I’m doing.
As mentioned in my previous post, I am currently working on a speech I’m going to be giving at Toastmasters this Saturday.
It all came to this
