Snow is on the way in our part of the world, and if you’re looking for something new to fill the hours, maybe you’ll like one or more of my suggestions.
YouTube has several channels I subscribe to, and I’ve broken them down by category.
If you like artsy stuff, try Andrea-Nelson-Art for watercolor creations that are easy to do and fun to watch her create.
If you have concerns about flying or interest in learning about behind-the-scenes of a pilot’s life, check out CaptainSteeeve. That’s right, 3 e’s in a row. You’ll understand when you hear him sign off!
If you love dogs and haven’t yet discovered Teddy, search for aguyandagolden, all one word and lower case. The Teddy videos make me smile!
The next two suggestions are if you need hope in dealing with adversity or a wake-up call to realize how blessed your life is. I suggest Joni’s channel. Those of you near my age may remember Joni (pronounced Johnny) and the book she wrote about becoming a quadriplegic due to diving into a shallow lake and breaking her neck. If you remember the cover, it depicted a brown-haired girl holding a paintbrush in her mouth. Now she has a channel called JoniandFriendsVideo — well, maybe JoniandFriendsVideos–in which she talks about her condition but also shares her Christian faith and how it helps get her through. Her husband of 42 years joins her occasionally.
A woman who is a quad-amputee due to bacterial meningitis when she was 19 has a channel in which she demonstrates how she manages with prosthetics for hands and legs/feet. She drives and works as an occupational therapist. Find her by searching for glamputee-14V. She is amazing!
If you enjoy Bible study and are a fan of “The Chosen,” you might like three seasons of Drive-Thru History on Prime Video. They are free. The seasons are: The Gospels, Acts to Revelation, and To the Ends of the Earth. The host is very interesting as are the sites he visits. I’ll never travel to the Holy Lands, so this is the next-best thing.
If you are “of a certain age,” I recommend these shows: “Elsbeth” (I stream on Paramount Plus but it airs on Thursday nights on CBS); “Matlock,” the one with Kathy Bates on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus; the movie “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris,” which used to be on Netflix but not sure if it’s still there–look for it; the movie “A Dog’s Purpose” if you like dogs (it has a good ending, not a “Marley and Me” ending); and “A Man on the Inside” on Netflix (he is spying on a nursing home).
Let me know if you try any of these and like them. If you don’t, that’s okay. We’re all different, and I’m definitely different. I’m the weirdo who doesn’t love desserts and definitely does not love chocolate!
