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.

Costa Rica- Rivers to cross...

http://www.serendipityadventures.com/VacationDesign/tropicalBikeTour.htm

My good friend, Jack Plymale, has chosen to live in Costa Rica.

Bert Leach, the genius teacher of Portsmouth High School in the 40's and 50's, has never been more quoted by any other than by Mr. Plymale, the ex-Trojan, who quotes more verse than any other I know of. Mr Leach was often talked about as "the smartest man in Portsmouth" among the Gilmer twins, Eddie Hill, Clark Rapalee, Gus Thompson, Gib Lakeman, Howard Rase, Carl Riley, and others I listened to.

Mr. Plymale has some wisdom much beyond me. I'm searching for a quote I want to use for my newest book. Maybe Jack will read this and help me. Google led me to the link herein just now on Costa Rica, which I have not yet read, but intend to. Somewhere in my reading and memory is an often remembered classic quote regarding 'rivers to cross... mountains to climb... I am still searching, but must leave to watch my nine year old granddaughter play basketball for Upper Arlington's fourth grade team. Prioities, you know.

God, please bless these beautiful countries on earth, ours and Costa Rica, my friends Jack, Jim Fout, & Doc Yeagle, and all Portsmouthites, who know how to get to Mabert Road. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Especially to the urchins! I was once one of those Mound Park Urchins. I find 'urchin' defined in Google as "poor and mischievous city kids". Mabert Road had their share of urchins and so did the Fourteenth Street Community Center. Were we not all blessed?
