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.

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.

My Brother, Jim Kegley's "High Notes" for next week's Scioto Voice Newspaper ... Thx Jim!

High Notes 04-12-2018


     "Growing old is hard work...the mind says 'yes' but the body says 'What the hell are you thinking?'"

     Tim Lawrence, a retired prison guard, uses a metal detector to find treasure...a recent find was a U. S. penny dated 1882.  Tim told me the coin is the oldest he's found.  It is 136-years old.  Tim now is a part-time guard at the Glockner family auto dealership a couple of nights a week.  

     "Kids today don't know how easy they have it.  When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpeting to change the tv channel".
     
     Speaking of old, I turned 79 on April 1st, and I guess it's is about time to start bragging that "I'm in my 80th year!"  When I was younger, I was reluctant to tell my age, but here I am.  I've had a fatalists attitude toward age, and feel lucky that I've made it this far.  My fatalism was a result of losing my father, Forest Earl (F. E.) Kegley when he was only 54 in 1959.  But, I should have taken his age, his dangerous job as a railroad brakeman, and the fact that he was father to a family of ten children into consideration.  Dad died on a caboose while returning from Columbus.  He reportedly was offered the chance to stop the train and drive him to hospital, but he refused, thinking he could make it home. He died between Lucasville and Portsmouth.  

     Just a reminder...my first published book, containing several of my columns through the years, is available at "The Market Street Cafe", in Portsmouth.
