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.

God Bless our Independence ... Thx Paul C!

Keep this going through July 4
  
 
 
Happy 4th of July!....
 
Let' s get this started, NOW!

So it will be out there on the fourth!
 
   
 

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS,
 ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!  
 
KEEP IT LIT!! KEEP IT LIT! 
For all of our other military personnel, where ever they may be.
   
Please Support all of the troops defending our Country.
 
 
And God Bless our Military   
Who are protecting our Country for our Freedom.
Thanks to them, and their sacrifices, we can celebrate the 4th of  July.
                      
 
We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have,  of which we should be eternally grateful.   
             
 
I watched the flag pass by one day. 
It fluttered in the breeze.
  
           
 
A young Marine saluted it, 
And then he stood at ease. 
 
I looked at him in uniform; 
So young, so tall, so proud. 
With hair cut square and eyes alert, 
He'd stand out in any crowd.
  
  

I thought how many men like him 
Had fallen through the years. 
How many died on foreign soil;
  How many mothers' tears? 
  

How many pilots' planes shot down? 
How many died at sea? 
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves? 
NO, FREEDOM ISN'T FREE
! 

I heard the sound of Taps one night, 
When everything was still. 
I listened to the bugler play 
And felt a sudden chill. 
 
I wondered just how many times 
That Taps had meant 'Amen.'
   
When a flag had draped a coffin 
Of a brother or a friend.
           
 
I thought of all the children, 
Of the mothers and the wives, 
Of fathers, sons and husbands 
With interrupted lives.
  
  

I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea.
   
Of unmarked graves in   Arlington . 
NO FREEDOM ISN'T FREE
 
 
Enjoy Your Freedom   and 
God Bless Our Troops.
 
When you receive this,   
Please stop for a moment 
And say a prayer for our servicemen
   
 
Of all the gifts you could give a
U.S. Soldier, prayer is the very best one. 
      God Bless all!
