It's amazing how much we accumulate over the years.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-14188590068049070502011-08-27T15:31:42.796-07:002011-08-27T15:31:42.796-07:00Hi Victor,

I started to wonder about "stuff", and who would want all of it after I am gone, so years ago, I started to go through my things once a year and give away the things that I don't need or use.<br /><br />I had collected buttons, books, bobbles, pencils, pens, pin on buttons, stickers and the rocks my husband brings home to me.<br /><br />The books remain as well as the rocks, many of which are placed in my flower garden. <br /><br />I want people to feel at home when they come to visit us, and we're very simple, laid back people.<br /><br />If ya don't use it, ya don't really need it.<br /><br />JoeyJoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990251768655459821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-32771392022321482032011-08-27T10:22:14.686-07:002011-08-27T10:22:14.686-07:00That's the problem Sue.

Probably just as well as we were running out of room to store them! These days I collect computer files: word documents, photos, ebooks... At least they take up less space.Sue Elvishttp://www.sueelviswrites.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-56977131222089446802011-08-23T15:53:07.674-07:002011-08-23T15:53:07.674-07:00Hi Mary,

On the Aardvark Show we played pre-recorded comedy tapes as well as performed our own comedy live - e.g. interviews, sketches etc ... <br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-1530605508902987502011-08-23T15:42:51.797-07:002011-08-23T15:42:51.797-07:00Speaking of clubs with strippers - we had one that...Speaking of clubs with strippers - we had one that opened up in our city and each time I drove by it I would pray, "Lord, please shut that place down. It doesn't belong in your city." I must have prayed this simple prayer hundreds of times and I was discouraged to see that the parking lot was usually filled. And then one day - it simply shut down. It closed its doors for good and I was glad :) It made me wonder how many other people were asking the Lord to shut it down too. I'm sure most of the women in town!<br />I remember when we discussed your radio shows on your blog last year as well as some local plays you performed in. I didn't know that the name of the radio show was the same as your blog though. The Aardvark Show must have been funny - you have a great sense of humor!Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-59371735464995776842011-08-22T12:11:36.580-07:002011-08-22T12:11:36.580-07:00Hi Mary,

"Time for Reflections" was a Christian program on Sundays and "The Aardvark Show" was a mix of comedy and music; amongst other programs. <br /><br />The problem with tapes is that they deteriorate with age. So I tried to re-master some of them onto digital CDs. I alsi have a small collection of CDs and DVDs but have little time to listen/watch them. <br /><br />There's nothing wrong with having plenty of books. Books are a window to the world and I know you have my book too; so that's not bad!<br /><br />What is bad is that Christian shops are closing down. We had two very good ones in our small town of 85,000 people. Now we have none. <br /><br />We have night clubs though ... and they're opening a lap dancing club soon.<br /><br />As for Kindle. I've considered putting my book on Kindle - it seems expensive though. I'll have to research this more, because my book was published in the US, so I don't know how to Kindle it.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-73447252790175828752011-08-22T08:12:36.005-07:002011-08-22T08:12:36.005-07:00Victor,

Some of them are in storage and for some reason I have trouble "letting them go" despite the age of some of these books. There are so many books in my home that Randy bought me a Kindle because I was having trouble finding enough room for all of them and we can't fit anything else in the extra storage space we rent. I realize I can't take them with me when I go :) So, how about you Victor? Do you "collect" anything in particular? <br /><br />My parents owned a bookstore when I was young. When they sold regular books it did very well. When they converted it to a Christian bookstore it went out of business a few years later. What does this tell you about people's interest in God?Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.com
