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.

Thank you to some special friends...

Beautiful, Carol and Clay!  You two have brought as much glory to Portsmouth Clay and the Portsmouth area as any of our finest athletes or coaches.  Greatness has been with each of you all of your lives.  Why shouldn't we, your friends, pray fervently for your well being?    And our Lord always responds. 
I copy many people and put things in my blog, but Carol is undergoing physical therapy for two recent knee replacements.  I have never done anything like that, but I am earnestly told stories of how tough that can be.
Much before that, Carol taught at Portsmouth Clay and she and Clay coached Ohio State Championship Softball teams (Carol also coached an undefeated swim team of youngsters even before that).   Through 11 years of girls' softball they had an unbelievable 93 % winning record and three Ohio State Championships.  We have extraordinary friends in Carol and Clay Vice and their family.  More of their stories are in my Excellence in Athletics in trhe Portsmouth Area book (2004).

My thanks to those of you that have kept in touch

and have kept me and my family in your thoughts and prayers.

You can not imagine how much it has meant to me and 

helped me; even if only for a brief moment in time.
My prayer today is that God blesses you in those things in
your lives that are in need of His loving touch.
The  nicest place to be is in  someone's  THOUGHTS!  

The  safest place to be is in  someone's  PRAYERS!  
And  the best place to be is in...  GODS  HANDS!
WE'RE  IN ALL 3!

Meantime, a quick Google search showed this intereesting story:

Defying the Godfather... October 2010 Smithsonian

"Across Sicly, ordinary citizens are standing up to the mafia and weakening its grip on society."  by Josua Hammer - Photographs by Francisco Lastrucci.

A courageous battle be the citizens.  I would hope such courage could be shown here in America.  I believe that mafia money, in addition to Arab money, brought us the current Trojan Horse in our White House.
