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.

PHS 1950 Necrology since our 60th reunion

Gwili (Prater) Fisher asked that I advise our classmates on the internet of recent deaths:

Dr. Tom Swope (this past week).  Massive stroke

Oleta Lewis Thompson (Gus' widow)  During our reunion.  She intended to come out from Portsmouth to Shawnee to meet us there one PM, but her health didn't permit it. 

Duncan White (Nancy White's husband)  A really good person who enjoyed our reunions along with his great wife

Emma Lou Mustard    She was a majorette and came to an early reunion, but I hadn't seen her for years.  Majorettes always have great legs, but who am I to notice?

Carolyn Carr   (I believe Hortense Bemse Robinson told me that Carolyn Carolyn was an important producer of ESPN broadcasts).  I am a little forgetful, friends, but I am only 78, soon to be 79.  Some of you older ones may understand if I am a little wrong in my memories.

Barbara Laughlin   Our valedictorian. 

Judy (Fairchild) Carr   (Jim Carr's wife) They lived in Gahanna, Ohio.

Ted Truitt  (Ann Bartlett's husband)  fairly recently. 

I got the annual out and perused the photos of our class.  Each one's personality came out of the page as I glimpsed across.  These were truly great people and they will be missed.  I paused, prayed for each of them in aggregate, especially those who have passed on, seeking the blessings of Jesus upon us sinners.  Thank you God for your great plan!

Thanks for keeping us informed, Gwili!

Fundamental liberal philosophy ... Yep, friend!

Does this explain liberals to you?




"This is sheer genius."



In a bid to stem taxpayer losses for bad loans guaranteed by federal housing agencies Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) proposed that borrowers be required to make a 5% down payment in order to qualify.



His proposal was rejected 57-42 on a party-line vote because, as Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn) explained, "Passage of such a requirement would restrict home ownership to only those who can afford it."



I can't add anything to this

SamKat will add a little though:

This is easy for you to say, friend. You worked hard, saved a little change, and always tried to mind your p's and q's. Are you trying to say real benefits from our "partnership" system with our government should be rewarded by hard work and honesty? I resemble that remark.



Jeanie and I have bought three houses (mortgaged) and have paid ten per cent down each time. How dumb we must be for thinking such money deals have helped keep America great. The banks have benefitted from interest 'earned'. The government non-representatives of "We, the People" encourage those who don't work, to keep up the good non-work!


Go Tea Party! Ignore our national media and simple minded 'representatives' like Chris Dodd (D).
