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.

Teasing, Kegleys, and Christianity

My parents were Forest E. and Mary E. Kegley.  They raised ten of us kids at 1227 McConnell Ave. in Portsmouth, Ohio.  If they were living today (our dream wishes) they would be around 105 years old.    Forest E. was among the greatest teases God ever created.  Mary also liked a 'fun' tease. 

I like to call myself TIO (The Innocent One) but I must admit it is a 'fun' tease to arouse the 'fun' ire of my family and friends who refuse to call me that, as I do- in all modesty.  I was just thinking that, as our Heavenly Father knows each of us in our bits of ornrieness at times just like our fellow family members do,  He still accepts us as innocents, so much so that  He sent Jesus, His Son, to die for our ornriness defined as sins. 

It is not a tease that each of us has sinned and it is a profound statement of our Christianity that we Christians (who accept Christ) are forgiven. 

Our parents were great in our eyes and we would loudly proclaim with them the song's words for our Lord:

How Great Thou Art!

Calipari hasn't forgotten his roots...

Kentucky coach John Calipari wasn’t born to coach. At least that’s what he thought before taking a job at Kansas that ushered in his successful coaching career.

While he was at Kansas, Calipari met his wife Ellen. It was also the beginning of a coaching career that has included successful stints at UMass, Memphis and Kentucky. Calipari grew up in Pittsburgh, but his coaching career was launched in Kansas.

It was all part of a plan that Calipari didn’t draw up originally in the game of life.

“Fate Intervenes in our lives,” he said. “Things happen to us that we do not deserve. Being born here (in the United States) versus being born somewhere else, you have nothing to do with that. There are things that happen to us in a good way and in also, ‘why me?’

“There are people making dumb decisions at the top of the business and people at the bottom of the business losing their job. What happened?”

Calipari wanted to be the coach at Kentucky three years when Tubby Smith resigned, but wasn’t hired.

It wasn’t his time, yet.

Instead, Kentucky employed Billy Gillispie, who was fired after two seasons with the Wildcats.

Calipari admitted that it would have been difficult to follow in Smith’s footsteps and added that it was mean for him to remain in Memphis until “fate intervened.” In between the letdown and the offer, Calipari was at the right place at the right time.

“It was two unbelievable years for me and my family and the players at Memphis needed us (at the time.),” he said. “Two years later, (Kentucky) needed me a little bit.”

Calipari originally wanted to be a teacher. Yes, a teacher. His career has involved teaching, which is what coaching basketball involves, a dose of both teaching and motivating skills.

“(Early) in my life, I never saw myself as a lawyer or a doctor,” Calipari said. “I didn’t have any in my family. We were all laborers. A teacher, that’s what I grew up thinking I was going to be, because that’s who I looked up to and that’s who I respected.”

Since Calipari has arrived at Kentucky, the Wildcats have returned to the limelight and “back in the conversation” as one of the most feared programs in the country. Four players from Calipari’s first recruiting class with the Wildcats were chosen in the first round of the NBA Draft last summer and indication that Calipari has indeed put Kentucky back on the map nationally.

“Aren’t you proud that we have kids from around the country wanting to come here?” he asked. “This is a player’s first program. We’re going to recruit the best and the brightest.”

Calipari, one of the most successful coaches in the collegiate ranks, hasn’t forgotten is roots, either.

“I’m the grandson of a coal miner, that’s who I am,” he said.

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE



WHEN YOU'RE OLD



AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.







George Phillips , an elderly man, from Meridian,

Mississippi,was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left

the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom

window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw

that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked"Is someone in

your house?"

He said "No," but some people are breaking into

my garden shed and stealing from me.

Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are

busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one

is available.."

George said, "Okay."

He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he

phoned the police again..



"Hello,I just called you a few seconds ago

because there were people stealing things from my shed.. Well, you don't

have to worry about them now because I just shot and killed them both,

the dogs are eating them right now." and he hung up.



Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT

Team,a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed

up at the Phillips' residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George , "I thought

you said that you'd shot them!"

George said, "I thought you said there was

nobody available!"





(True Story) I LOVE IT!



Don't mess with old people.
