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.

Portsmouth Old-Timers Breakfast in Columbus




L to R: Smokey Gibson, Dr. Chet Corbitt, Blaine Bierley, Charles Tubbs, Dick Klitch, Paul Bierley, Sam Kegley


A highlight of our P'Town Old Timers breakfast was Paul Bierley's (Sousa Expert and historian) accounting of this fictional story ( I think it is fictional).

The 90 year old gentleman went to his doctor for a health check-up. The doctor said: "You are fit a a fiddle. How old was your father when he died?" "Who said he died?", the oldster replied. "He is 115." "How old was his father when he died", queried the doctor. "Who said he died? "How old is he now? He is 135."

"What is he doing now?" I don't know at this moment, but tommorrow, he is getting married." "Why would he want to do that at 135?" "Who said he wanted to?"
