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.

Do we have a Christian nation? I think so! ... Let's vote thay way! ... Thx Nita!

   You may not like this, but it is scary stuff, our world is changing....
 
 
 
 
 
THIS ISSUE IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED IN MY THINKING AT THIS TIME SINCE THE  MARINE WHOSE DAUGHTER (IN LA PLATA, MD SCHOOL ) REC'D A FAILING GRADE IN HISTORY BECAUSE SHE REFUSED TO TAKE THE ISLAM STUDY COURSE ....INCIDENTALLY   NO ALTERNATIVE COURSE WAS OFFERED.  HER MARINE FATHER BROUGHT THIS TO THE FOREFRONT  ....SINCE HE FOUGHT IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN , AND IS VERY AWARE OF HOW DANGEROUS THIS RELIGION IS...DEFINITELY NOT ONE OF PEACE.   D.L., Norcross, GA
 
I know there are some of you that are Democratic, and love Obama, but this is for Christians first, politics later. I do pray that it doesn't offend anybody with the truth of the message, but it has to be sent. If you love 
your Lord first and your politics later, then you will appreciate this message. 
 
If you don't, I'm sorry I judged you wrong. 
 
When we get 100,000,000, that's one hundred million willing Christians to BOND together, voice their concerns and vote, we can take back America with God's help. Become one of the One hundred million... Then let's get 200 million. It can be done just by sending this email to your friends. Do the math. It only takes a single willing heart and a fed up SOUL. 
 
God Bless America and Shine your light on Her!
 
In 1952 President Truman Established one day a year as a "National Day of Prayer." 
 
In 1988 President Reagan Designated the first Thursday in May of each year as The National Day of Prayer. 
 
In June 2007 (then) Presidential Candidate Barack Obama Declared that the USA "Was no longer a Christian nation. 
 
In 2009 President Obama Canceled the 21st annual National Day of Prayer ceremony at the White House under the ruse of "not wanting to offend anyone" 
 
HOWEVER... On September 25, 2009 From 4 AM until 7 PM, A National Day of Prayer FOR THE MUSLIM RELIGION Was Held on Capitol Hill, inside the White House. There were over 50,000 Muslims In D.C. that day. PRESIDENT OBAMA PRAYS WITH THE MUSLIMS! 
 
I guess it doesn't matter if "Christians" were offended by this event - We obviously don't count as "anyone" anymore. 
 
Now President Obama is encouraging schools to teach the Quran for extra credit, while at the same time, they cannot even talk about the Bible, God, pray, or salute the American Flag. 
 
The direction this country is headed should strike fear in the heart of every Christian, especially knowing that the Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be converted, they should be annihilated. 
 
Send this to ten people, or even one hundred and ten! And, send it the person who Sent it to you!.. To let them know that indeed, it was sent out to many more.

NFL QB surprises kids who lost parents in the war. Patirotvideo.com GB QB Aaron Rodgers

I was able to view this video, but haven't been able to forward it to you. 

These Children Lost Their Parents In the War, What One Quarterback Did For Them Will Put a Tear in Your Eye

One thing the NFL has an abundance of are misfits who need some direction. The other thing it has an abundance of are athletes who aren’t just heroes on the field, but heroes off the field too.
Aaron Rodgers is one of those heroes.
Partnering up with Camp Hometown Heroes, Aaron Rodgers decided he’d spend some time with 4 young children who lost their fathers fighting for our freedom.
Watch this touching video and see what Rodgers did for these young kid.
Make sure to go to the 1:54 mark and see the young boy’s reaction, it’s pretty funny.
You can rest assured that no liberals would be willing to do something like this.
What they’d do instead is take potshots at our fallen heroes, just as Michael Moore and Seth Rogen have done since “American Sniper” was released.
Even though it’s a small thing, it’s so encouraging to see what our heroes on the gridiron are willing to do for those who have sacrificed so much.
What’d you think of this video?

Telephone System rant! SamKat

I am SO sorry for people all over this world, mainly because of telephone systems.  I hope the system problems are corrected by the 22nd century. 

Systems identify you first after several numbers you must search the entire house for.

You are talking to a system of artificial intelligence.  A slight error can make you re-initiate your call.  You again talk with a robotic system which is far less intelligent than any person on earth.

You somehow explain to the Robie what you need talk about.  Immediately the Robie connects you to another system and you get another Robie, Robie 2.   2 wants your info repeated, then connects you to Robie 3.  Some require many more Robie systems to go through and wait, wait, wait.

My solutions:  All companies and government offices: Hire some people and fire your Robies  if you are interested seriously in staying in business!  Do this economically because I have payed too many taxes for too many years with too little government representation.

If a system helps, condense it to only two quick system connections until you receive a real live person.  It will save you millions of $/hr and be so much more efficient!

With AT&T, I spent, literally 33 hours not minutes talking all over this globe for  to finally straighten out a billing situation.  I, SamKat, am a hypocritical Christian, but I believe all of us Christians are, regardless of our Perfect savior.

Ben Franklin implored people not to be "Penney wise and Pound foolish"!

Customers still want price, delivery, quality, and service.  Service comes with prompt telephone resolutions of items the customers purchase. Keep your poor customer service telephone systems and lose the dissatisfied customer FOREVER!.

 Nobody receives the people dominated kind of telephone service we enjoyed before Robies anymore. Mr. Bell created a monster for Artificial Intelligence to screw up.


Telephone operators were so appreciated by my generation; However you of the robotic telephone service of today and the future seem to be doomed to the Robies!

My Twilight Years _ Clint Eastwood ... Thx Lyle S!

Clint Eastwood at 84...GOT TO LOVE THIS! . . .


My Twilight Years ~ Clint Eastwood

As I enjoy my twilight years, I am often struck by the inevitability that the party must end.
There will be a clear, cold morning when there isn't any "more."    No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat.  It seems to me that one of the important things to do before that morning comes, is to let every one of your family and friends
know that you care for them by finding simple ways to let them know your heartfelt beliefs and the guiding principles of your life so they can always say, "He was my friend, and I know where he
stood."

So, just in case I'm gone tomorrow, please know this: I voted against that incompetent, lying, flip-flopping, insincere, double-talking, radical socialist, terrorist excusing, bleeding heart, narcissistic, scientific and economic moron currently in the White House!

Participating in a gun buy-back program because you think that criminals have too many guns is like having yourself castrated because you think  your neighbors have too many kids.


Regards, Clint
Make my day—Pass it on!

Thought you might be looking for a liberal paradise in which to spend your remaining days.
Fwd: Wise quote from Arizona


 
A liberal paradise would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive health care, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities, and only law enforcement has guns.  And, believe it or not, such a place does indeed exist.  
 It's called prison."

Texas patriots tribute to Chris Kyle American Sniper ... Thx Ramey H!


This is why America will remain strong.  We take care of our own as well as others who may not  deserve to be taken care of.  *Chris Kyle was Derek's teammate through 10 years of training and  battle. They both suffer/suffered from PTSD  to some extent and took great care of each other because of it.*

*2006 in Ramadi was  horrible for young men that never had any more  aggressive physical contact with another human than on a Texas football field.*

*They lost many friends.  Chris became the armed services number #1 sniper of all time.  Not something he was happy about, other than the fact that in so doing, he saved a lot of > American lives.*

*Three years ago, his  wife Taya asked him to leave the SEAL teams as he had a huge bounty on his head by Al Qaeda. He did and wrote the book "The American Sniper."  100% of the proceeds from the book went to two of the SEAL families who had lost their sons in Iraq .*

*That was the kind of guy Chris was.  He formed a company in Dallas to train military, police and I think firemen as far as protecting themselves in difficult situations.  He also formed a foundation to work with military people suffering from PTSD.  Chris was a giver not a taker.*

*He, along with a friend and neighbor, Chad Littlefield, were murdered trying to help a young man that had served six months in Iraq and claimed to have PTSD.*
*Now I need to tell you about all of the blessings.*

Southwest Airlines flew in any SEAL and their family from any airport they flew into ...free of charge.
>>>
The employees donated buddy passes and one lady worked for four days without much of a break to see that it happened.

Volunteers were at both airports in Dallas to drive them to the hotel.  The Marriott Hotel reduced their rates to $45 a night and cleared the hotel for only SEAL's and family.

The Midlothian, TX Police Department paid the $45 a night for each room.  I would guess there were about 200 people staying at the hotel, 100 of them were SEAL's.  Two large buses were chartered (an unknown donor paid the bill) to transport people to the different events and they also had a few rental cars (donated).  The police and secret service were on duty 24 hours during the stay at our hotel.

At the Kyle house, the Texas DPS parked a large motor home in front to block the view from reporters. It remained there the entire five days  for the SEAL's to congregate in and all to use the restroom so as not to have to go in the house.  Taya, their two small children and both sets of parents were staying in the home.

Only a hand full of SEAL's went into the home as they had different duties and meetings were held sometimes on a hourly basis.  It was a huge coordination of many different events and security.  Derek was assigned to be a Pall Bearer, to escort Chris' body when it was transferred from the Midlothian Funeral Home to the Arlington Funeral Home, and to be with> Taya.  A tough job.
Taya seldom came out of her bedroom.  The house was full with people from the church and other family members that would come each day to help.  I spent one morning in a bedroom with Chris' mom and the next morning with  Chad Littlefield's parents (the other man murdered with Chris).  A tough  job.

George W Bush and his wife Laura met and talked to everyone on the Seal Team one on one.  They went behind closed doors with Taya for quite a while. They had prayer with us all.  You can tell when people were sincere and caring.

Nolan Ryan sent his cooking team, a huge grill and lots of steaks, chicken and hamburgers.  They set up in the front yard and fed people all day long including the 200 SEAL's and their families.  The next day a local BBQ restaurant set up a buffet in front of the house and fed all once again. Food was plentiful and all were taken care of.  The family's church kept those inside the house well fed.

Jerry Jones, the man everyone loves to hate, was a rock star.  He made sure that we all were taken care of.  His wife and he were just making sure everyone was taken care of….Class... He donated the use of Cowboy Stadium for the services as it was determined that so many wanted to attend.

The charter buses transported us to the stadium on Monday at 10:30 am. Every car, bus, motorcycle was searched with bomb dogs and police.  I am not sure if kooks were making threats trying to make a name for themselves or if so many SEAL's in one place was a security risk, I don't know. We willingly obliged.  No purses went into the stadium!

We were taken to The Legends room high up and a large buffet was available.  That was for about 300 people. We were growing.  A Medal of Honor recipient was there, lots of secret service and police and Sarah Palin and her husband.  She looked nice, this was a very formal military service.

The service started at 1:00 pm and when we were escorted onto the field I was shocked.  We heard that about 10,000 people had come to attend also. They were seated in the stadium seats behind us. It was a beautiful and emotional service.

The Bagpipe and drum corps were wonderful and the Texas A&M men's choir stood through the entire service and sang right at the end.  We were all  in tears.

The next day was the 200-mile procession from Midlothian, TX to Austin for burial.  It was a cold, drizzly, windy day, but the people were out.  We had dozens of police motorcycles riders, freedom riders, five chartered buses and lots of cars.  You had to have a pass to be in the procession  and still it was huge.  Two helicopters circled the procession with snipers sitting out the side door for protection. It was the longest funeral procession ever in the state of Texas.  People were everywhere.  The entire route was shut down ahead of us, the people were lined up on the side of the road the entire way.  Firemen were down on one knee, police officers were holding their hats over their hearts, children waving flags, veterans saluting as we went by.  Every bridge had fire trucks with large flags displayed from their tall ladders, people all along the entire 200 miles were standing in the cold weather.  It was so heartwarming. Taya rode in the hearse with Chris' body so Derek rode the route with us.  I was so grateful to have that time with him.

The service was at Texas National Cemetery. Very few are buried there and you have to apply to get in. It is like people from the Civil War, Medal of Honor winners, a few from the Alamo and all the historical people of Texas.  It was a nice service and the Freedom Riders surrounded the outside of the entire cemetery to keep the crazy church people from Kansas that protest at military funerals away from us.

Each SEAL put his Trident (metal SEAL badge) on the top of Chris' casket, one at a time.  A lot hit it in with one blow.  Derek was the only one to take four taps to put his in and it was almost like he was caressing it as he did it.  Another tearful moment.

After the service Governor Rick Perry and his wife, Anita, invited us to the governor's mansion.  She stood at the door,  greeted each of us individually, and gave each of the SEAL's a coin of Texas.  She was a sincere, compassionate, and gracious hostess.

We were able to tour the ground floor and then went into the garden for beverages and BBQ.  So many of the Seal team guys said that after they get out they are moving to Texas.  They remarked that they had never felt so much love and hospitality.  The charter buses then took the guys to the airport to catch their returning  flights.  Derek just now called and after a 20 hours flight he is back in his spot, in a dangerous land on the other side of the world, protecting America.

We just wanted to share with you, the events of a quite emotional, but blessed week.

Punch-line:

*To this day,* *no one in the White House* *has ever acknowledged Chris Kyle.*  However, the President can call some sport person and congratulate him on announcing to the world that he is gay?  Or say that someone shot by police in the line of duty, would make him a good son.  What the hell is happening to our society, our honor and our pride??

Please keep this moving
