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.

Bob Looney ... SamKat


Bob Looney


My son, Jeff, granted  me one of the greatest favors of my life yesterday in driving Jeanie and me though our home towns of Portsmouth and New Boston.  Further east, we drove to the top of the Wheelersburg Memorial Cemetery and witnessed a celebration of love by friends and family of our good friend Bob.  In later years, he somehow adopted his first name of John.  

Of the friends, they were split among several I did not know and six Mound Park Urchins octogenarians, mainly with their spouses.  The reverend Sweeney said only a few words but the grateful daughters, Lisa and Laurie, gave loving testimonies of their dad.  Then granddaughter, Mandy, sang softly in acapello, Amazing Grace.  Soothing to our souls.  Most of the Urchins present had heard Mandy sing when she was nine, at a party Bob hosted in his South Shore Ky home years ago.  All of the girls are beautiful and talented.  There were a few other wonderful stories by Ginny, Bob’s sister, and a few.  Dick Klitch told some stories of our humble and so well-liked friend and his nearly adjoined Urchin brother, Bob Lyles, who has passed on before.  Marine Sergeant John Bob Looney was given the American Legion Post 23 send off with a twenty-one gun salute. 

In all, it was a ceremony of life as endings should be.  I am happy about a personal feeling with the Father of Jesus that Bob will be enjoyed among Heaven’s dwellers.

Sam Kegley (with Wife, Jeanie).
