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. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.

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.

Ernie Pyle



Ernie Pyle reported on the young men in the battles of North Africa, Italy and throughout Europe until the European War ended.  He then served in the Pacific until he received a death dealing missile in that fighting area.  He was an observer and a reporter and let the folks back home know what their fighting men were going through in battle. He served beyond his time and died for our freedom here in America.  He was not the fighter, just the reporter of what those fighting were doing.  I was nearly thirteen when WW II ended and I am now eighty-three, but I read Ernie's stories.  War is not pretty and Ernie Pyle did not paint it that way.  Why must wars be fought?  There is evil and good.  I pray that the United States of America will strive for the good.  If another war has already started, our patriots should not just capitulate.  They must suck it up and fight to win over the evil that exists in today's world.  If the islamic terrorists are not enjoying our ways of resistance now, they are not so smart as I credit them.  

The world needs leadership.  I trust no man to provide it, but certainly some more than others.  

In the parable of the fig tree Jesus warned that no man knows when this world will end.  This world has so much evil and shrinking good.  I pray for Jesus to return, take deserving souls to Heaven and let those willing like this old man be part of His way in chasing evil from it.  This lifetime is short, but eternity will be a glorious time beyond our imagination.    

God is forever in control, even in this current world situation.  My great hope is that we willing to serve him will ve more like Ernie Pylke than the current leaders of our country so many of which appear as cowards in the face of evil.  Thank you Heavenly Father for our gift od your Son if we simply accept Him and attempt to do His bidding.
