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.

Take care

Thanks again, Phyllis! Dick Burdette originally wrote about the fabulous Waterloo Wonders high school basketball team out of southeastern Ohio when he was still a very young man. Per your info to me, he has re-released the book that I and so many of my friends have talked about throughout the years.

Dick, The Portsmouth Trojan basketballer played freshman basketball at Portsmouth with our good friend, Clay Vice, who later starred at Clay High School. They graduated in 1953. Dick from PHS and Clay from Clay HS. Clay played for Portsmouth's- and Cincinnati's great athlete, Don Monk, who, sadly, died at a very young age a little later.
