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.

Fifties People ... Thx Judi C!

A repeat but really worth seeing again................

The fifties really were very unique. I guess it's true, all things do change, and sometimes that's too bad.
 





GOOD TO SEE THIS ONE AGAIN.
1950's version of an E-Mail
 
I have no idea who put this together, but it is wonderful!!

Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot,
Before the days of Dylan , or the dawn of Camelot.
There lived a race of innocents, and they were you and me,

For Ike was in the White House in that land where we were born,
Where navels were for oranges, andPeyton Place was porn.

We longed for love and romance, and waited for our Prince,
Eddie Fisher married Liz, and no one's seen him since.
 
cid:VRapak8ItlAZ4BeTVVWy
 

We danced to 'Little Darlin,' and sang to 'Stagger Lee'
And cried for Buddy Holly in the Land That Made Me, Me.

Only girls wore earrings then, and 3 was one too many,
And only boys wore flat-top cuts, except for Jean McKinney.
 
cid:klRa5fZ2zCADeZHrWAxj
 

And only in our wildest dreams did we expect to see
A boy named George with Lipstick, in the Land That Made Me, Me.

We fell for Frankie Avalon, Annette was oh, so nice,
And when they made a movie, they never made it twice..
 
cid:rTvfucWzWB6BFZ2jhNDb
 

We didn't have a Star Trek Five, or Psycho Two and Three,
Or Rocky-Rambo Twenty in the Land That Made Me, Me.
 
cid:tBSxRyfPHdoSMX0Rxzwr
 

Miss Kitty had a heart of gold, and Chester had a limp,
And Reagan was a Democrat whose co-star was a chimp.
 
cid:Ej4LbgWBmpYpB0nkKhrA
 

We had a Mr. Wizard, but not a Mr. T,
And Oprah couldn't talk yet, in the Land That Made Me, Me.
 
cid:XFNxatOA1ZpuIqpULjGW
 

We had our share of heroes, we never thought they'd go,
At least not Bobby Darin, or Marilyn Monroe.
For youth was still eternal, and life was yet to be,
And Elvis was forever in the Land That Made Me, Me.
 
cid:29XmhHQ7uKNNR0did5Mp
 

We'd never seen the rock band that was Grateful to be Dead,
And Airplanes weren't named Jefferson, and Zeppelins were not Led.
 
cid:JuJzjdHS6xPK5bWcA1N2
 

And Beatles lived in gardens then, and Monkees lived in trees,
Madonna was Mary in the Land That Made Me, Me.
 
cid:LEK1QcjYbqm6zij1KMFm
 

We'd never heard of microwaves, or telephones in cars,
And babies might be bottle-fed, but they were not grown in jars.
 
cid:dV9j2SbupiIcFFjQEUvw
 

And pumping iron got wrinkles out, and 'gay' meant fancy-free,
And dorms were never co-Ed in the Land That Made Me, Me.
 
cid:lUzroJrGgDaWt2JTlsFq
 

We hadn't seen enough of jets to talk about the lag,
And microchips were what was left at the bottom of the bag.
 
cid:zhFGsKW2C6gchcQmGjCN
 

And hardware was a box of nails, and bytes came from a flea,
And rocket ships were fiction in the Land That Made Me, Me.
 
cid:ikIV21W9alpcGVk0ljoT
 

T-Birds came with portholes, and side shows came with freaks,
And bathing suits came big enough to cover both your cheeks.
 
cid:v6JCv5ZbSIKtQJmbbuGH
 

And Coke came just in bottles, and skirts below the knee,
And Castro came to power near the Land That Made Me, Me.
 
cid:qTzJAGYdbDXRs65yNrUQ
 

We had no Crest with Fluoride, we had no Hill Street Blues,
We had no patterned pantyhose or Lipton herbal tea
Or prime-time ads for those dysfunctions in the Land That Made Me, Me.
 
cid:MOmM6eBFjItb0JU9wi0J
 

There were no golden arches, no Perrier to chill,
And fish were not called Wanda, and cats were not called Bill
 
cid:tfDwRfZ1dhbdd9R2MLvY
 

And middle-aged was 35 and old was forty-three,
And ancient were our parents in the Land That Made Me, Me.
 
cid:KPyC6rW0JijN0FWAxg1N
 

But all things have a season, or so we've heard them say,
And now instead of Maybelline we swear by Retin-A.
They send us invitations to join AARP,
We've come a long way, baby, from the Land That Made Me, Me.
 
cid:5Ffd9VezjQnS1VzQaWJZ
 

So now we face a brave new world in slightly larger jeans,
And wonder why they're using smaller print in magazines.
And we tell our children's children of the way it used to be,
Long ago and far away in the Land That Made Me, Me.
