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.

Good Ideas ... Thx

Good Ideas







I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.

I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People move out of the way much faster now.

You can tell a lot about a woman's mood just by her hands. If they are holding a gun, she's probably angry.

Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.

You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.
------------------------------------------------------------

I don't like making plans for the day because then the word "premeditated" get's thrown around in the courtroom.
---------------------------------------------------

I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row

I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim.
I feel so much better saying I went to the jim this morning

Dear paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers; if you find one, what's your plan?

This is beautiful regarding death ... Thx Marge R!


 
 

 This really is the most beautiful explanation of death I've ever heard.

~DEATH~ 
WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT
 


A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to


Leave the examination room and said,


'Doctor, I am afraid to die.


Tell me what lies on the other side..'

Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know..'


'You don't know? You're, a Christian man,
and don't know what's on the other side?'

The doctor was holding the handle of the door;
On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining,

And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room


And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.


Turning to the patient, the doctor said,


'Did you notice my dog?


He's never been in this room before.


He didn't know what was inside..


He knew nothing except that his master was here,


And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.


I know little of what is on the other side of death,


But I do know one thing...


I know my Master is there and that is enough.'

(sorry - cannot break this)
 
May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly

Where you are meant to be..
 

I believe that friends are quiet angels



Who lift us to our feet when our wings



Have trouble remembering how to fly.

Just pass this on...

Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity ... Thx Judi! Yeah- We stupid voters who are givers rather than takers

May be a repeat, but still good!


Top Ten . . .



Subject: Top Ten . . .
This is Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity.
Can you blame them for writing this?
Number 10) Only in America...could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 per plate campaign fund-raising event.
Number 9) Only in America ...could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black 40+% of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans - 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!
Number 8) Only in America...could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
Number 7) Only in America...can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media and liberals react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.
Number 6) Only in America...would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens (probably should be number one).
Number 5) Only in America....could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."
Number 4) Only in America...could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check, board an airplane or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
Number 3) Only in America...could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company(Marathon Oil) averages 12% profit and they take all the risk and the US government takes by force 18.4% to 24.4% in gas tax for taking zero risk and doing absolutely nothing for that revenue other than creating a law to force the oil companies to give it to them. So the government makes 6% to 12% more profit than the oil companies themselves on gas sales for doing absolutely nothing but using force.
Number 2) Only in America....could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and the left complains that it still doesn't have nearly enough money for all their programs.
And Number 1) Only in America...could the so called "rich people" who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all .
DON'T KEEP THIS - SEND IT OUT TO YOUR LIST.

ARLINGTON CEMETERY
Jeopardy
Question: 
On
Jeopardy the other night, the final question was
"How many steps does the guard take during his
walk across the tomb of the Unknowns?"
All three contestants missed it! 
This  is really an awesome sight to watch if you've  never had the chance ...
Fascinating.  Tomb  of the Unknown Soldier

1.
How many steps does the guard take during his
walk across the tomb of the Unknowns
and why?


21
steps: 
It
alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which
is the
highest honor given any

military or foreign
dignitary. 


2.
How long does he hesitate after his about face
to begin his return
walk and why?


21
seconds for the same reason as answer number
1

3.
Why are his gloves wet?

His
gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his
grip on the rifle.


4.
Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all
the time
and, if
not, why not?

He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder. 

5.
How often are the guards changed?

Guards
are changed every thirty minutes,
twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a
year.


6.
What are the physical traits of the guard
limited to? 
For
a

person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he
must be
between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and
his waist size cannot exceed 30.


They
must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb,
live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot
drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of
their lives. They cannot swear in public for the
rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the
uniform or the tomb in any way.


After
two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that
is worn on
their lapel signifying they
served as guard of the tomb. There are only
400 presently worn. The guard must obey
these rules for the rest of their
lives or
give up the wreath pin.


The
shoes are specially made with very thick soles
to keep the heat and cold from their feet.
There are metal heel plates that extend to
the top
of the shoe in order to make the loud click as
they come

to a halt.

There are no
wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards
dress for duty
in front of a full-length
mirror.

The first six months of duty a
guard cannot talk to anyone nor
watch TV.
All off duty time is spent studying the 175
notable people laid
to rest in
Arlington National Cemetery ....
A guard must memorize who they are and where
they are interred. Among the notables are:

President Taft,
Joe Lewis {the boxer}
Medal of Honor winner Audie L. Murphy, the most
decorated soldier of WWII and of Hollywood fame.
Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for guard duty..
ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
In
2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was
approaching Washington ,
DC , our
US Senate/House took 2 days
off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC
evening news, it was reported that because of
the dangers from the
hurricane, the military
members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb
of
the Unknown Soldier were given permission
to suspend the assignment. They

respectfully declined the offer, "No way,
Sir!" Soaked to the skin,
marching in the
pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that
guarding
the Tomb was not just an assignment,


it was the highest honor that can be
afforded
to a service person. The tomb has been patrolled
continuously,
24/7, since 1930.



God
Bless and keep them.



I'd be
very proud if this email
reached as many as possible. We can be very
proud of our men
and
women
in the service no matter where they serve.





God Bless America

We belong and will vote in 2014! ... Thx Sarah R!

YOU & I ARE MEMBERS, DON'T DELETE!



Folks

I received this last week while I was at the PCA General Assembly in Houston.  There is something to be said for it.  Enjoy

PRG


YOU & I ARE MEMBERS, DON'T DELETE!


THIS IS WORTH READING TO THE END. PLEDGE TO JOIN THIS 'GREY BRIGADE'
WE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!! PASS IT
ON!!!

The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net
worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35,
according to an analysis of census data released Monday. If all of us
old farts have all of the money, then let us try to elect someone who
might be near honest and not be after feathering their own nests.

They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in
some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to
retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little
slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once
were. We have worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and
grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over
the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off
completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into
consideration.

In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us
to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what
outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the
days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk being
delivered .A few even remember when cars,tractors and trucks were
started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days.

We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated by many. But there
are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us
off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam . We can quote
The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing
so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many
friends on the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist States
of America ; we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the
Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag. We know
the words to the Star Spangled Banner, America , and America the
Beautiful by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our
cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read in
history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for
America ..

Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at least one
good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and
died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and
nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend
America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath
we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love
but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.

It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the
Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in
reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies."

You have tasted socialism and seen evil face to face, and have found you
don't like it after all. You make a lot of noise, but most are all too
interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social Ladder" to be
involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of
those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's
remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense
enough to see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.' Now
you're paying the price and complaining about it. No jobs, lost
mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom.

This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted you with
the Torch of Liberty and you traded it for a paycheck and a fancy
house.

Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2014
we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower
than you would like but we get where we're going, and in 2014 we're
going to the polls by the millions.

This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to the likes of
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. It belongs to "We the People" and "We the
People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope this time
you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it along to our
grandchildren. So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge
of Allegiance, Stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our
country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Grey-Haired
Brigade."

Footnote:
This is spot on. I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on. I will
circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this once great
county.

Can you feel the ground shaking??? It's not an earthquake, it is a
STAMPEDE.
