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.

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.

Tempest over Obama's tea cup salute: Commander-in-chief sparks anger by saluting US Marines with drink in his hand

  • President was exiting his Marine One helicopter after landing in New York City for speeches about global warming and fighting ISIS in Syria
  • Commander-in-chief is a military title that entitles Obama to a salute, and he's expected to return the gesture
  • On Tuesday he saluted two uniformed US Marines while holding a cup in his hand, a breach that won't win him fans among veterans or servicemen
  • Twitter erupted with the president's indignant detractors
  • The White House put a short video of his arrival in New York on its own Instagram page, creating a public gaffe that no photographer had shown

President Barack Obama saluted a pair of United States Marines on Tuesday while holding what appeared to be a styrofoam cup in his saluting hand, a breach of military regulations that won't win him fans among veterans and servicemen.
Obama is known for drinking tea, not coffee, when he travels, especially before delivering speeches.
His quasi-saluting gesture was an instant embarrassment for the White House, and not because his environmentally taboo drinkware clashed with the green-policy speech he was on his way to deliver at a UN Climate Summit.

Welcome home Global Hawk! ... Thx Judi C!

The Global Hawk
cid:1.165519620@web121405.mail.ne1.yahoo.com

This is a photo of the Global Hawk UAV
that recently returned from the war zone under it's own power.
(Iraq to Edward's AFB in CA) - Not transported via C5 or C17.

Note the mission paintings on the fuselage,
It's actually over 250 missions.
(And I would suppose 25 air medals.)

That's a long way for a remotely piloted aircraft.
Think of the technology as well as the required quality of the data link
to fly it remotely from a source thousands of miles away.

Not only that, but the pilot controls it from a nice warm control panel
at Edwards AFB, CA.

It can stay up for almost 2 days at altitudes above 60k feet.

The Global Hawk is controlled via satellite.
It flew missions that went from Edwards AFB, CA. and back nonstop.

Basically, they come into the fight at a high mach # using military thrust power,
fire their AMRAAMS, and no one ever sees them or paints with radar.
 There is practically no radio chatter because all the guys in the flight are tied
together electronically and can see who is targeting who, and they have AWACS
(Airborne Early Warning and Control Systems) direct input,
as well as 360° situational awareness from that and other sensors.

The enemy had a definite morale problem before it was all over.

It is to air superiority what the jet engine was to aviation.

It can taxi out, take off, fly a mission, return, land and taxi back on its own.

There are no blackouts, pilot fatigue, relief tubes, ejection seats,
and best of all, no dead pilots, and no POWs.


Thx Clay V! Friends

Thought you would like this one.  J


 
Post Office............. Priceless
There  was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process  all the mail that had illegible addresses.
One day, a letter came  addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. 
He thought he should open it to see what it was  about.
 
The letter read 

Dear God,
I am an 83 year  old widow, living on a very small pension.
Yesterday someone  stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had  until my next pension payment.
Next Sunday is Christmas, and I  had invited two of my friends over for dinner. 
Without that  money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to,  and you are my only hope... 
Can you please help  me?
 
Sincerely, Edna
 
The postal worker was touched. 
He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into  his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars.
By the time he  made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an  envelope and sent to the woman. 
The rest of the day, all the  workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would  be able to share with her friends.
Christmas came and went. 
A  few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. 
All the workers gathered around while the letter was  opened.

It read:
Dear God,
How  can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? 
Because of  your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my  friends. 
We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your  wonderful gift.
By the way, there was $4 missing. 
I think it  might have been those bastards at the post office. 

Sincerely,  Edna

What happens in Heaven when we pray ... Thx Nita E!


WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE PRAY? 

This is one of the nicest e-mails I have seen and is so true:
I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, ' This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.  

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.  

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.  

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.  

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section, my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed."  How is it that there is no work going on here? ' I asked.  

"So sad," the angel sighed.  "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments"  

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings? " I asked..  

"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord. " 

"What blessings should they acknowledge?"  I asked.  

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world ' s wealthy. "  

"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."  

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness .. You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day. "  

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... You are ahead of 700 million people in the world." 

"If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world."

"If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very rare."  

"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair......."

Ok, what now? How can I start?  

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.  

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are  

ATTN:  Acknowledge Dept.  
"Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people with whom to share it. "
  

If you have read this far, and are thankful for all that you have been blessed with, how can you not send it on ??? ? I thank God for everything, especially all my family and friends.
