For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Tobey Kegley 12 year old fast pitch pitcher


Last weekend, our 12 year old, Tobey, fell on her left elbow and hyperextended it, taking her out of a good game in the Ohio.Com tournament in Cleveland: Grandma Jeanie and I know how very hard she and her daddy work in developing her as a pitcher. This is a message I sent to our Tobey the day after her injury:

U12 Girls’ softball Love



Tobey,


Grandma and I hope your night was not restless with pain, Beautiful.

We believe you are having a wonderful life, even though a stressful life, while you are so young.

We are glad that you stay in touch with God. Remember, at the times you can relax, to thank Him for all of your blessings, even the stress.

Things can pile up on anybody in life and take them away from reality. We never want to see that with our little girl.

Your little sister, Ida Scout, immediately wanted to be your nurse and we loved that.

Grandpa cannot interpret all things well, but something tells me God is in touch with us at all times. I am speaking of my attempt to get you girls’ grandma’s sweaters from the car to use in that cold restaurant.
As I reached the door of the restaurant, the Heavens opened and the rain poured. You saw it pour! I came back with out getting the sweaters then. It lasted only a few moments, then I went for the sweaters for our girls.
This sign tell us something, but I don’t fully understand. I haven’t witnessed an event, all so evidently a sign of something, in my seventy-five years on earth.

In spite of all, it was a great weekend of little girls’ softball. You are certainly important to your team, but you must, and I believe you do, realize that it is a team game. My good friend, Dick Klitch, the exceptionally good tennis pro, wants to give you some valuable lessons in tennis, and that may not happen. It is an individual’s game and he has been part of both types of competition. As a fine softball pitcher, good and getting better, you stand out as an individual. You steadily catch and pitch with your very best efforts with so much cool.

We were also impressed that your team continued to get better all season. The coaches- Liz, Autumn and Doug- devote so much time in molding the team. Your dad and mother helped and Daddy has worked so hard along with you. It nearly appeared fruitless, but the team definitely responded. There were so many great plays by so many of your teammates this past weekend in Cleveland . They all stepped up and played to win. Great infield and outfield plays and hitting in key spots entertained us- your fans. Many games were lost late, but teams have to know that all minutes, and seconds, count in a ball game and you and your team have been learning that.

I think the flash of a quick rain might, hopefully, be telling us that things have been bad but are getting better for each of us.

We confess to our prejudice that you are a very best thing in our life among so many wonderful family and friends which our great God has given us.

You must always know that grandma and I love you now and forever, TobeyTeener PotsaPeener!

Grandpa Sam
