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.

Should Christians respect o

Should Christians respect Obama?

















Dr. David Barton is more of a historian than a Biblical speaker, but very famous for his knowledge of historical facts as well as Biblical truths.





Dr. David Barton - on Obama

Respect the Office? Yes.

Respect the Man in the Office? No, I am sorry to say.

I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.

Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama !





I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT that is it.

I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President !



Why am I doing this ?

It is because:



- I do not share Obama's vision or value system for America ;



- I do not share his Abortion beliefs;

- I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;

- I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);

- I do not share his view that America is Arrogant;

- I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;

- I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;

- I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than our American Citizens who need help;

- I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;

- I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land;



- I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);



- I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America ;



- I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East ; and

- I certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran ..



Bottom line: my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my GOD to do what is Right !



For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs !



They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country!

They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant !

They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years !

They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country !

They have made every effort to remove the name of GOD or Jesus Christ from our Society !

They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code !

They have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech !



Unite behind Obama? Never ! ! !

I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil!



PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!



Majority rules in America , and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and his "goals for America ."



I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country ! ! Any more compromise is more defeat !



I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-GOD crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America !



"Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it." - Thomas Jefferson

GOD bless you and GOD bless our Country ! ! !



(Please, please, please, pass this on if you agree.)

Thanks for your time, be safe.

Former Trojan footballer, Jack H Plymale replies

Right on, Mr. Jack! Jeanie and I and my family, my boys and their families who are Buckeye fans, enjoy this thoroughly. Westerville South lost to Northland here in the Columbus Regional final last night and my oldest, Jay and his family, attended with us. South was good and fast but Northland, Sullivan''s school where his dad coaches, was faster and better. Heartbreak highway your friend Keith Brooker Knows.




Bounceyballers and their fans have more fun at the season's end than pointyballers, although the fb playoffs have more finality than before when you leather helmeted guys played (only kidding, Pop Lumpkin).



My philosophy- "Even if Kentucky should lose in the NCAA's... it is spring! Nice to pop out of this bad winter weather here in Ohio.

ATHENS -- Wayne Evans' drive with 4.4 seconds left in the game brought tears of joy to Portsmouth Coach Gene Collins--and tears of defeat to Chesapeake on Saturday.



Evans scored the game-winning bucket to propel the Portsmouth Trojans over Chesapeake 69-68 to win the boys high school Division III regional championship at the Convocation Center on the campus of Ohio University.



The Trojans (21-4) advance to the Final Four in Columbus for the first time since 1990.



"This is overwhelming," Collins said as he wiped tears from his eyes. "We had to overcome a lot to get here. This is a huge win for the program."



Chesapeake (25-2) took a 68-67 lead after Eric Kennedy made two free throws with 9.2 seconds left to play in the game.



"Our play was designed to go to Andrew (Bendolph)," Collins said. "But when he was denied the ball, we had to go to Wayne, and he came up big. I knew he had the lane, and when he hit that shot, man I was just relieved."



Evans, a six-foot-two junior, dribbled to his right, then crossed-over and saw an opening in the middle of the lane and went strong to the hoop.



"What was I thinking?" Evans responded. "I was thinking that I've never played in Columbus, and I wanted to go there. That's what I was thinking."



Evans finished the game with 19 points, including seven in the fourth quarter.



"I knew he could do it," Bendolph said of Evans. "I knew he could finish. They denied me the ball, and I had all the confidence Wayne could make it happen."



Bendolph, a five-foot-eleven senior, took over in the fourth quarter . He gave Portsmouth a 58-54 lead when he drove hard to the hole and put a soft touch on a floater. He then connected on a fade-away from 12 feet for the 60-54 lead.



"As a senior, I've been wanting this for a long time," Bendolph said. "I knew that I had to step up and have leadership. I just thank God for this." Bendolph finished the game with 22 points.



However, Chesapeake fought back after Kennedy banged in two 3-pointers to cut the deficit to 64-62 with 1:15 to play.



"They just would not go away without a fight," Collins said of Chesapeake. "They hit some big shots--no doubt. But we responded and made some big plays too."



Portsmouth jumped out and took a 15-7 lead in the first quarter, thanks to Dion McKinley's eight-point, four-rebound performance in the period.



McKinley finished the game with 17 points and 14 rebounds.



"That was our game plan--to go inside," McKinley said. "We knew they couldn't handle us down low in the post."



The Panthers, the No. 1 seed, responded as Austin McMaster lit the nets for 14 second-quarter points to cut the Trojan lead to 31-27 at the half.



"We knew they would make a run," Collins said. "We just had to be patient and stick to the game plan."



The game plan included balanced scoring in the third quarter, and McKinley scored six points, while Bendolph, Tre Underwood and Evans each had four points in the quarter.



Evans sparked Portsmouth with a steal and two free throws, and he followed that by diving for a ball and forcing a Chesapeake turnover . McKinley also got on the floor on the next trip and forced another Panther turnover.



"We just played with heart and got after it," McKinley said.



Portsmouth will face Cleveland Central Catholic (18-8) on Friday at the Jerome Schottenstein Center at 2 p.m. on the campus of The Ohio State Univesity for the chance to play for the Division III state title.



Portsmouth -- 15 16 18 20 -- 69



Chesapeake -- 7 20 17 24 -- 68



Portsmouth -- Whitley 1 0 3, Bendolph 6 10 22, Evans 5 8 19, McKinley 8 1 17, Underwood 3 0 6, Jordan 1 0 2.



Chesapeake -- Copley 7 4 20, Hintz 2 0 6, McMaster 10 3 23, C. Kennedy 3 1 7, E. Kennedy 2 4 10,.



3-pointers -- Portsmouth 2 (Whitley, Evans) Chesapeake 6 (Copley 2, Hintz 2, E. Kennedy 2).
