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.

Additional e-mails- Phyllis Sparks and myself

Thanks Phyllis!

I would really like to have the book read, particularly by my Portsmouth friends. They have been the best to me as readers of my books. You and Jean have always been good about attending the signings.

I hope you believe that I am not a cocky person; however, any person who puts their time into writing has to believe that they are decent at writing or they wouldn't be doing it.

I really believe that the people I interview have things to say that others would be interested in. As for the cockiness I do have, I didn't particularly apply myself at PHS studies, but I was fortunate to have a great set of teachers anyway. I did win the Scioto County spelling bee when I was in about the seventh or eighth grade, so God and my parents entrusted me with minimal talent. I know I was a better speller then than now.

"I, God, & Country" is a book about what people think about religion. The thoughts vary quite a bit from my own and that is okay. I have a few muslim friends whom I did not interview on purpose. My point is that a muslim who converts to Christianity is a prime target for suicide bombings or some type of atrocity by the jihadists. I didn't want those friends to become pointed at as targets.

Phyllis,

It is nice to hear from you. Jenny Lavender is arranging a book signing for my latest book: I, God, & Country on the 27th, the day after Memorial Day at the Library at 10AM. I hope to see you and other friends there.

I don't have Dick Burdette's e-mail address, but I have his phone number.

Dick has mentioned that your families were neighbors. He just recently had an MRI on his knee and it was diagnosed as a hematoma. He told me it had swollen almost like an elephant's leg. The doctor, more or less, said it would desolve in time and it seems to be doing that. He and Joan came to our granddaughter, Tobey's softball game last Wednesday.

Sam,

Do you have Dick Burdette's e-mail address? I would

like to write and ask him about the book he wrote about the Obrist case. He gave me a copy and then I bought a copy.

It was a good book and interesting knowing some of the

people mentioned. George Jr. sat in front of me for four years in high school.(homeroom)

Portsmouth just doesn't look the same without the schools

being there. We have lived in Wheelersburg for 42 years and now they are going to tear down the grade school. It

will be located near the High School. It would be nice if they would fix the grade school up for the kids to play basketball etc. I remember the old Highland School with the sqeaky wooden floors. ha ha I remember I almost got a paddling for just walking through the park to school. Mrs. Wikoff had the paddle out and was ready for me. I forget why she didn't paddle me. Now look at the condition the park is in.

Those were the days.

Tell Dick Klitch I said hello the next time you see him. I have known Dick for years, his family lived two doors down from my parents on Mound St.

Well, I didn't mean to rattle on, but they were the good old days as I look back.



Take care and tell your wife hello. Stay healthy.



"Have a Good Day......and a Nice Forever".
