Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone.

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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------







After living what I felt was a 'decent' life, my time on earth came to the end.


The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting
Room of what I thought to be a court house..

The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.

As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor.'

He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me.


He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.


I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney,
A kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to
Me, I felt I knew Him.


The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full
Flowing robes.

He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room I couldn't take my eyes off of Him.


As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, 'Let us begin.'


The prosecutor rose and said,
'My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man
Belongs in hell.'


He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and In the past when I cheated others Satan told of other horrible
Perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the
Further down in my seat I sank.


I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely
Forgotten about.





As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not Offering any form of defense at all.





I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?





Satan finished with a fury and said, 'This man belongs in hell,
he is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person
Who can prove otherwise.'


When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench.


The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan,
And beckoned Him to come forward.


As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in
His full splendor and majesty.


I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me,

My Lord and my Savior.


He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, 'Hi,
Dad,' and then He turned to address the court.


'Satan was correct in saying that this man had sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations.


And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this man deserves to be
Punished.


Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with
Outstretched arms and proclaimed, 'However, I died on the cross so
That this person might have eternal life and he has accepted Me as his Savior, so he is Mine.'


My Lord continued with, 'His name is written in the Book of Life,and no one can snatch h im from Me.


Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy.'


As Jesus sat down,
He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said,'There is nothing else that needs to be done.'

'I've done it all.'

The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down.
The following words bellowed from His lips..

'This man is free.'

'The penalty for him has already been paid in full.'

'Case dismissed.'

As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving,
'I won't give up, I will win the next one.' I asked Jesus as He gave
Me my instructions where to go next, 'Have you ever lost a case?'

Christ lovingly smiled and said,

'Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you,

~Paid In Full~

If you do not pass this along to 15 people immediately,
Absolutely nothing will happen.

Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend,
(as I have done here), will bless you both.

'Stop telling God how big your storm is.
Instead, tell the storm how big your God is!











I have seen this before but it is so good I want to pass it on once again. It makes me very Thankful that the Lord died for my sins and He is my personal Saviour.

Thanks again, Phyllis! Dick Burdette originally wrote about the fabulous Waterloo Wonders high school basketball team out of southeastern Ohio when he was still a very young man. Per your info to me, he has re-released the book that I and so many of my friends have talked about throughout the years.

Dick, The Portsmouth Trojan basketballer played freshman basketball at Portsmouth with our good friend, Clay Vice, who later starred at Clay High School. They graduated in 1953. Dick from PHS and Clay from Clay HS. Clay played for Portsmouth's- and Cincinnati's great athlete, Don Monk, who, sadly, died at a very young age a little later.
