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.

Jeanie and I regret that we see nearly nobody we know when we go out to a restaurant during the coronavirus; however, I tell her or take her so many good wishes from our email correspondence. I never had a best seller nor an agent but so many of you have been in my email receivers on her condition. I sent many notices of the partial hip replacement Sunday evening, 2/7/21, and she has been lifted up by, maybe 60 % well-wishers and mostly that many sincere prayers and several with testimonies from friends who have lived so much better since receiving hip transplants. She has been up and, although a slight touch of her weight on her left foot to yesterday morning, She took about 8 or 9 with partial weight on her left footlater in the pm. Social planners are. making arrangements for a close-by nursing home to help her for a while after she leaves the hospital. I guess it would be difficult for me to lift her repeatedly and get her in and out of the car. Jeanie nor I could ever thank everybody for all of the prayers and well-wishers, but it is truly heartening for this young couple of 69 years marriage after a couple of years of courting. I guess that qualifies for old-fashioned as well. She has been looking still, like the 90 year old beauty she is. Thanks, family and friends! Sam 614-632-9962 Graydon 10:45 AM (8 hours ago) to me Good Morning Sam... ...Thank You for the update on Jeanie...Prayers work and the miracles of modern science make a great team... Bless You Both... Warmest Regards... Graydon Diane Massie 11:07 AM (8 hours ago) to me Aw, Sam, sorry to hear about the hip replacement but what I hear -- is that Jeanie will feel so much better after she rehabs. Just listen to the physical therapists. Take care of yourself and be safe. Thanks for an update on Jeanie's condition. Diane Sam Kegley 11:30 AM (7 hours ago) to Graydon, Diane, me Graydon, You and Lady Di, the ubiquitous Kentucky traveling basketball fan and niece of the passed-on great college football coach, Jerry Claiborne, state things so succinctly and well. Jeanie and I cherish your friendships! Sally Sligar 5:56 PM (1 hour ago) to me Keep me posted Sam but she may need home health PT rather than outpatient PT right now.

I assumed you were not interested, Tennessee. Please explain and tell me you could do that in your retirement. The medical coverage is only through Medicare at the village Columbus and I am responsible for 20%. Thanks for your reply, though, Sally! Sam Judi Cole 7:05 PM (20 minutes ago) to me Hi Sam, thanks so much for the encouraging update on Jeanie. I'm so very happy that she's getting up and walking a little - step by step progress!! I'm working part-time at H&R Block, so haven't had as much time to read emails and make phone calls. Just know that you both are always on my mind and in my prayers. I will be in touch - love you both!! Sam Kegley 7:25 PM (0 minutes ago) to Judi Thanks Judi! Reply Forward

My tennis Pro Life-long friend, Dick Klitch, passed peacefully this past Sunday morning 128/2021

Dick caught me in age August 15, 2020, at 87-years old for three months until I became 88. We Were bona-fide Mound Park Urchins in Portsmouith, Ohio. An urchin then could be defined as "a mischievous young child, especially one who is poorly or raggedly dressed" especially in my situation as one of ten kids. Those were days the parents could safely let their kids go to the nearby park early without any thought of serious criminal trouble throughout the day. Dick's dad normally worked nights, and so he spent a lot of time with the boys in the park in teaching them baseball, but,more than that, about life in living honestly. And, in winning with fundamentals. Herman Klitch was an outstanding teacher! I accepted a job 54 years ago in Columbus where DIck was the Dean of Tennis Teaching Pros. We renewed the friendship, which was solid, and spent a lot of our spare times together. Now today is a time of acceptable diversity, but Dick and I shared a completely heterosexual friendship in which our conversations were never, or hardly ever, regarding sexual things. I believe we shared mutual respect, if you won't believe me to be an egotist. I have written 13 books now without accumulating wealth, just merely a break even status.h My books have to do with interviews of acquaitnances who impressed me that they acted sensibly in their lives and with demonstrated integrity. Dick Klitch is in three of those books. He had a serious stroke a few years ago and after short rehabilitation in Columbus, He and his wonderful wife, Joan (Smith) Klitch, accepted son, Tim's invitation to come and share their house for a while in Austin Texas. Tim had retired his CEO position with the Comerica Bank there and his family was living in a sizable house that Lyndon and Ladybird Johnson once shared. My wife, Jeanie and I hope someday to share more time with our good friend Dick Klitch in Heaven. Nobody knows when that may be for Joan, Jeanie, or me. We take those passings sadly as they come. Nonetheless, Old Sammy is doubly saddened because I spent so little time in telephone conversations with Dick and was certainly hoping to spend more time here with my friend, Dick Klitch, suspecting the seriousness yet in denial.
