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.

NFL Shrunk on their knees ... Thx Paul C!

Subject: FW: I have read many but this one holds first place in my eye 
TO the NFL and its players,
If I have brain cancer, I don’t ask my dentist what I should do. If my car has a problem, I don’t seek help from a plumber! Why do you think the public cares what a football player thinks about politics? If we want to know about football, then depending on the information we seek, we might consult with you, but even a quarterback doesn’t seek advice on playing his position from a defensive tackle!
You seem to have this over inflated view of yourselves, thinking because you enjoy working on such a large scale stage, that somehow your opinion about everything matters. The NFL realizes the importance of its “image” so it has rules that specify the clothes and insignia you can wear, the language you use, and your “antics” after a touchdown or other “great” play. But somehow you and your employer don’t seem to care that you disgrace the entire nation and its 320 million people in the eyes of the world by publicly disrespecting this country, its flag, and its anthem! The taxpaying citizens of this country subsidize your plush work environments, yet you choose to use those venues to openly offend those very citizens. 
Do you even understand what the flag of this country means to so many of its citizens before you choose to “take a knee” in protest of this “country" during our national anthem?
You may think because you are paid so much that your job is tough, but you are clueless when it comes to tough.  Let me show you those whose job is really tough.
You are spoiled babies who stand around and have staff squirt GatorAid in your mouths, sit in front of misting cooling fans when it’s warm, and sit on heated benches when it's cold. That’s not “tough” that's pampered. 
You think that you deserve to be paid excessively high salaries, because you play a “dangerous" game where you can incur career ending injuries. Let me show you career ending injuries!
You think you that you deserve immediate medical attention and the best medical facilities and doctors when injured. Let me show you what it’s like for those who really need and deserve medical attention.
You think you have the right to disrespect the flag of the United States, the one our veterans fought for, risked limbs and mental stability to defend, in many cases died for. Let me show you what our flag means to them, their families, and their friends.
You believe you are our heroes, when in reality you are nothing but overpaid entertainers, who exist solely for our enjoyment! Well, your current antics are neither entertaining nor enjoyable, but rather a disgrace to this country, its citizens, all our veterans and their families, and the sacrifices they have made to ensure this country remains free. You choose to openly disgrace this country in the eyes of the rest of the world, yet with all your money, still choose to live here rather than in any other country. People with even the slightest amount of “Class” will stand and respect our flag. Where does that put you? You want to see heroes… here are this countries heroes!
You can protest policies, the current government, or anything else you choose, that is your right. But when you “protest” our flag and anthem, you are insulting the nation we all live in and love, and all those who have served, been injured, or died to keep it free. There is nothing you can do or say that can make your actions anything more than the arrogance of classless people, who care about themselves more than our country or the freedoms for which our veterans and their families have sacrificed so much, to ensure you have the “right” to speak freely. Our country is far from perfect, but if you can point to any other country where your freedom and opportunities are better than they are here, then you just might want to go there and show respect for their flag!
If you respect America and all those who have sacrificed so much to keep her free, please forward this to your friends and relatives. Eventually, it should end up in the mailboxes of those who choose to disrespect our country, its service members, our veterans, their families, and all of us who appreciate the freedoms America represents.

White House Employees, President Trump vs obama, ... Thx Paul C!



On Friday, the Trump administration released their annual report to
Congress on White House Office Personnel. It includes the name,
status, salary and position title of all 377 White House employees.

The report also said that Trump decided not to take a dime of his
salary; instead he donated it to an amazing cause! See below.

The report also showed that President Trump is far better at saving
money than Obama was. The total annual White House salaries under
Trump are 35.8 million vs. $40.9 million under Obama, a savings of
$5.1 million. Here are some other key findings:

There are 110 fewer employees on White House staff under Trump than
under Obama at this point in their respective presidencies.

Nineteen fewer staffers are also dedicated to The First Lady of the
United States (FLOTUS). Currently, there are only five staffers
dedicated to Melania Trump vs. 24 staffers who served Michelle Obama
(FY2009)

However, it's what the report said Trump did with this salary that
has everyone talking.

Instead of taking his salary, Trump donated all $400,000 to the
Department of the Interior where it will be used for construction and
repair needs at military cemeteries! AMAZING! It's so great to have a
President who loves our brave military men and women so much!

OH, AND WHERE'S THE MEDIA COVERAGE OF THIS? THAT'S RIGHT, THEY DON'T
COVER ANYTHING DECENT THAT THE PRESIDENT DOES...

BUT WE WILL! PLEASE, PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO ALL YOUR EMAIL PALS AND
OTHERS! TOGETHER, WE'LL GET THE MESSAGE OUT.

My dear wife of 66 years, Jeanie, fears that I get so mad I will bring myself to a nervous breakdown.  Perhaps she is right.  I pray not as the hypocritical Christian that I am.  I think God is helping me.  None other can.

I have a strong belief that the world's biggest scam is upon seniors like me.  I retired 21 years ago from a a well-paying engineering job.  My experiences in these 21 years is that the dearth of customer service began with telephone companies when they created 'system answering services'.   Such systems save the using parties the salaries of telephone operators but ultimately costs them the loss of customers. Systems delay customer service and shields the suppliers from the needs of  customers, seniors in particular.

I did not retire from the engineering career to spend my life on-hold, transferring, finally getting people on line which my poor hearing and their poor English can decipher.  But I have a strong belief that 19 of my 21 retiree years have been spent in my attempts to keep things clean between any supplier and us.


Yes, Jeanie, I have deep frustrations causing a need for "anger management".  I believe our sincere prayers for relief of my anger to the absolute primary physician a few minutes ago is helping already.

A thing that Creates the most serious nervous breakdowns is a tendency to 'hold you anger in' when it is better to let it be honestly expressed to relieve the  hurting inside.

I know that I am the only senior or person in the world who suffers these frustrations but I also continually pray for the master physician to help the world in curing this poor 'answering service system' of telephone companies.
