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.

John Wall plays Santa for a family in need

by @ 5:30 pm. Filed under Blue Blooded Opinions
John Wall knows what it’s like to lose a parent to cancer; his father passed away from the disease when John was nine years old.  So when he got word of six children in the D.C. area who just lost their mother to cancer, he did what he could to brighten the holiday.  Wall took over the Christmas shopping duties for Altra Gibbs, who is now raising her daughter’s children while fighting her own battle against cancer.
“This is a miracle to me,” Altra Gibbs said of Wall’s surprise Secret Santa visit.  ”I appreciate it so much.”
She cried as she hugged John after he showed up at her home with trash bags full of wrapped presents for the family.  Wall said he wanted to help out as soon as he heard the Gibbs’ story.
“My dream is not just to play basketball,” he said.  ”My dream is to help other people out and make their lives better.”

    I’m so proud you are a Wildcat, John Wall. ‘He who gives to the poor lends to God and God will repay.’ Prov. 19:17. God Bless you, JW.

    socialism! communism!
  17. Jpo Says:
    There’s a difference between the government giving away tax money for free and a person doing a good deed with his OWN money. Way to go John wall! It’s good to help out!
  18. SamKat Says:
    I believe John Wall demonstrates that he has benefitted from Coach Cal’s association. He too washed youngster’s feet while a star at Kentucky. I pray for all to help those in need, Not just to be a racist, but to salute a young millionaire’s effort to benefit youngsters of his race.
    God, please continue to bless John Wall and bring his health back to help his team.
