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. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.

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.

Subject: Average men . . . .









The truly and deliberately evil men are a very small minority; it is

the appeaser who unleashes them on mankind; it is the appeaser’s

intellectual abdication that invites them to take over. When a

culture’s dominant trend is geared to irrationality, the thugs win

over the appeasers. When intellectual leaders fail to foster the

best in the mixed, unformed, vacillating character of people at

large, the thugs are sure to bring out the worst. When the ablest

men turn into cowards, the average men turn into brutes.

- Food for thought:



Let's put the seniors in jail, and the criminals in a nursing home.



This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies, and walks, they'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc. and they'd receive money instead of paying it out.







They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.



Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.



A guard would check on them every 20 minutes, and bring their meals and snacks to their cell. They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.



They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool, and education, simple clothing, shoes, slippers, P.J.'s and legal aid would be free, on request.



Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens.



Each senior could have a P.C., T.V., Radio, and daily phone calls.



There would be a board of directors, to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct, that would be strictly adhered to.



The "criminals" would get cold food, be left all alone, and unsupervised.



Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week.



Live in a tiny room, and pay $5000.00 per month and have no hope of ever getting out. Justice for all.






Leave the woodpile a little higher than you found it.

Observations on Growing Older



~Your kids are becoming you ... and you don't like them.

But your grandchildren are perfect!

~Going out is good.

Coming home is better!

~When people say you look "Great",

they add "for your age!"

~When you needed the discount you paid full price. Now you get

discounts on everything ...

movies, hotels, flights, but you're too tired to use them.

~You forget names ... but it's OK

because other people forgot

they even knew you!

~The 5 pounds you wanted to lose

is now 15 and you have a better chance

of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.

~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything ...

especially golf.

~Your husband is counting on you to remember things you

don't remember

~The things you used to care to do,

you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do

them anymore.

~Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair

with the TV blaring than he does in bed.

It's called his "pre-sleep".

~Remember when your mother said

"Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"? Now you bring

clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!

~You used to say,

"I hope my kids GET married."

Now, "I hope they STAY married!"

~You miss the days when everything worked

with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.

~When GOOGLE, ipod, email, modem ...

were unheard of, and a mouse was something

that made you climb on a table.

~You used to use more 4 letter words ...

"what?"..."when?"?

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to

wear it anywhere.

~Your husband has a night out with the guys

but he's home by 9:00 P.M. Next week it will be 8:30 P.M.

~You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it.

~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~Everybody whispers.



~Now that your husband has retired,

you'd give anything if he'd find a job!

~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet,

2 of which you will never wear.

~But old is good in some things:

old songs

old movies

And best of all OLD FRIENDS!!



Love you, "OLD FRIEND!"

Send this on to other "Old Friends" and

let them laugh in agreement!
