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.

Comments to this SamKat blog ... Thank you many anonymous friends!

I have been extremely negligent in responding to any of the hundreds of  "comments" to my blog.  This is not purposeful, but is due to my ignorance in checking (They are placed in "Spam" under comments).

Please forgive me but also realize that it seems impossible to reply as 99% come from "Anonymous" and I haven't been able to email any of the respondents.  I extend my humble gratitude to each, even the Quite few uncomplimentary ones, with this message.  I must share any compliments with the many who send me such excellent emails, especially Ramey 'Sonny' Hoskins, Judi Cole, Bob Looney, Sarah Rapp, Ralph Hovermale, Lou Flores and so many others this old man doesn't come up with off the tip of my tongue.

Thanks you and you and thank you God!  I am blessed in so many ways.



Mom and a quiet room ... SamKat




Mom and a Quiet Room

4-17-09

She has passed on years ago, but I must thank the Magenta site I added in a free offer to my computer.  With Magenta I was able to put up my pics from Adobe on my screensaver.  The photos come up at random from the file and, to my wonderful surprise this morning, Mom’s picture appeared behind my desktop.   What a sweet surprise.

It honestly brought back the scenes of coming in late from a Saturday night date of a movie and a little smooching with Jeanie (that is as far as she would allow) to find Mom alone watching the 7” screen of the used Hallicrafters TV I had bought for a hundred bucks from friend, Don Ramsey.

Mom, with her special heart, was so good to share life with.  Often, there would be a Huntington TV station live piano player and singer.  A song we both loved waifs through my mind as I look at Mom’s picture. “My Happiness” with a pretty blonde singer leaning on the piano by the pianist. 

Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness

Every day I reminisce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
My happiness

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then

Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then

Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness

It wasn’t Connie Frances or Elvis Pressley, as it might have been, but no song brings thoughts of Mom back to me like My Happiness and those tender moments we spent together.

I am a true male softie.  I haven’t been sobbing as I write this, but my face has some moisture just thinking of those tender times.

There were ten children who shared the special love of our Mom.  I am sure we each had our great moments.

Sam
