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.

Grandpa gets an IPad ... Thx Marge R!

 Grampa Gets an iPad
 

 
Grandpa Gets an iPad
Watch the following short clip that takes less than a minute. In fact it's 32 secs.

A daughter is visiting her father and is helping in the kitchen.

She asks: " Tell me dad, how are you managing with the new iPad we gave you for your birthday?"

This clip is spoken in German but it's totally understandable in any language.

Just thoughts from a Christian evangelical Christian ... SamKat aka Sam Kegley

There was a "butcher evangelicals who are for Trump"article in this past Sunday's Dispatch.  Several local and national pastors were quoted who put The Donald down.  It was somewhat like the Pope calling Trump non-Christian for wanting to complete the wall between Mexico and the USA.  The article and the Pope were each overly reactionary and showed unfortunate judgement in my estimation.

However, I, an evangelical Christian, began thinking of not voting for Trump when I heard him utter a couple of comments last week.  First he was asked if the military would obey his orders.  He responded that they "surely will" in the fashion of a dictator.   The guy now serving as Commander in Chief thinks exactly the same way and he has no foreign successes in serving the American people for the last seven and more years.  His judgement is unsound.  I would prefer one who would respect our military and their trained leaders and listen to their advice before going off half-cocked in the wrong direction as obama always does.

Another thing Donald said was that he would kill the families of any caught terrorists.  That sounded just as barbaric as the islamic terrorists themselves.  Their system gives each male much power over their family members through following shariah law.  Some females and children themselves  have committed suicide bombings and deserve little mercy.  But the vast majority of our committed enemies are mainly young men, such as those we see as the majority of illegal immigrants, who look forward to 72 virgins as their rewards in the after life.

I began studying Ted Cruz more intently by going to his wikipedia.  Anti-Cruz comments have indicated that many in the Congress hate him.  Inevitably those people are establishment Republican representatives who oppose Cruz's Tea Party actions in his Senatorial servings supporting us TP's.  Unlike obama, who did practically nothing as a Senator for too short a time, Cruz pursued many conservative causes in his three year actives as a Senator.  Thus the mainly establishment hatred.

Trump stands up and receives similar put-downs by the same establishment groups and I like that fact of his campaign the country his so ripe for dictatorship right now and America does NOT  need that.

Cruz has not been the complete saint in these far too many debates on TV.  However his academic excellence in Princeton and Harvard, with high praise degrees, sets him far above the less accomplished lawyers.  He shows commitment to return our country to its constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.

Ohio's voting caucus is next week and my serious thoughts are to vote for Ted Cruz.  Katich has fallen too far behind in the debates and I believe each of the initial 17 republican candidates would help the nominee form a strong cabinet, especially John Kasich.  I had high hopes for Romney but he chose to crawl across the finish line rather than burst across as he should have.

Don't offend muslims Americans ... Thx Paul C!

Subject: Fwd: Will I get more than 3 replies


This is so disturbing but we know it is true.


  
SOME STATES (Maryland & Michigan) ARE ALLOWING MUSLIM 
STUDENTS TO PRAY DURING SCHOOL HOURS.  IF THEY ALLOW THAT, THEN WE

SHOULD BRING BACK OUR FLAGS INTO THE CLASSROOMS AND ALLOW OTHERS TO PRAY

TOO!  TIME FOR THE CHRISTIANS TO SPEAK UP.  DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS.
  
When we get 100,000,000, that's one hundred million, willing Christians to BOND 

together, voice their concerns and vote, we can take back America with God's help.  
Become one of the One hundred  million...  

Then let's get 200 million.  It can be done just by sending this email to your friends.  
Do the math.  It only takes a single willing heart and a fed up SOUL. God Bless America and Shine your 

light on Her! 
  
In  1952 President Truman established one day a year as a "National Day of Prayer." 
  
In 1988 President Reagan Designated the first Thursday in May of each year as The National Day of Prayer. 
  
In June 2007 (then) Presidential Candidate Barack Obama Declared that the USA "Was no  longer a Christian nation.
  
In May 2009 President Obama dismissed our 21st annual National Day of Prayer ceremony at  the White House under the ruse of "not wanting to offend anyone" 
  
Sept. 25, 2009, a Muslim Prayer Day was held on the west front of the U.S. Capitol Building, the site where U.S. Presidents have been inaugurated since 1981. There were over 50,000 Muslims In D.C. that day 

President Obama dismissed our national day of prayer and now it is okay for an event at our capitol for Islamists???  But wait, it has not stopped even  now!!!
  
February 17-19 , 2015, A Muslim prayer was recited at the start of the second day of the White House summit on “Countering Violent Extremism,” but no other religious text was presented during the portion of the event that was open to the press. Imam Sheikh Sa’ad Musse Roble, president of the World Peace Organization in Minneapolis, Minn., recited a “verse from the Quran” following remarks by Obama administration officials and Democratic members of Congress.
  
Now President Obama is encouraging schools to teach the Quran for extra credit, while at the same time, they cannot even talk about the Bible, God, pray, or salute the American Flag. 
  
The direction this country is headed should strike fear in the heart of every Christian 
  
Send this to ten people, or even one hundred and ten!    And, send it to the person who Sent it to you!.. To let

them know that indeed, it was sent out to many more.

Thx Keith B and Sarah R! Cemetery at the Beach in Santa Batbara for our fallen in protection of out rights in the USA!


The first picture and the last picture are taken at the beach in Santa Barbara right next to the Pier. There is a veterans group that started putting a cross and candle for every death in Iraq and Afghanistan . The amazing thing is that they only do it on the weekends.
They put up this graveyard and take it down every weekend. Guys sleep in the sand next to it and keep watch over it at night so nobody messes with it. Every cross has the name, rank, and D.O.B. and D.O.D. on it. Very moving, very powerful. So many young volunteers. So many 30 to 40 year olds as well.
Amazing!
The ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed.
cid:82799C1D-B3B2-42F5-A28A-6B9A0DFB699F
And that they filed another suit to end prayer from the military completely. They're making great progress.
cid:5946E3CE-0E86-4187-90A0-5868687D9323
Keep forwarding this e-mail to others. I'm not breaking this one. I'm asking that you not break it either.
cid:7CF0644F-1625-42B0-A4D3-3A9CAB1784A0
If I get it a 1000 times, I'll forward it a 1000 times! Prayer for our soldiers... please don't break it! Please send this on after a short prayer. Let us pray... Prayer:
'Heavenly Father, hold our troops in Your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. 
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in this our time of need.
These things I humbly ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Amen.'
GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!

FAQ's on Social Security "File and Suspend" ending April 30, 2016 ... Thx Marge R!

FAQ's on Social Security "File and Suspend" ending April 30, 2016

I bought Laurence J. Kotlikoff's"Get What's Yours" 2015 book.  A lot of the book gives facts on the diminishing Social Security benefits and eventual demise without significant congressional changes.  Pennsylvania Dutch cliche' is that we become "Too soon old, and Too late smart", and don't I believe that?   Short sighted administrators have sold seniors down the river.  I retired when I was 65 due to a buy-out and received the instant cash of 25K, of which the IRS took nearly 10K.

  Still, I was plenty healthy, although I had my second four by-pass surgery when I was 69 ( Successful thanks to good cartographic care and surgery).  I am 83 now and there was no guarantee I would become 83 as I am today.  My good friend, Bill Hensel, suspended his SS until he was 68, which meant he receives twenty-four percent more each month on his SS pension for the rest of his life.  God bless Bill.  He told me his father did not take his until he was 70, which meant he receive forty per cent more pension annuity for the rest of his life.  Only one per cent of men and two per cent of women filed and suspended until they were 70.  I still am so disappointed own our non-representative Feds for not properly advising us.  We would all be much better off had the SS rules remained a separate fund.  Every new fed rep has wanted to have his name on a new tax, no matter what it has cost retirees.  That is short sightedness to the point of destroying the republic which Winston Churchill claimed to be the worst form of government in the world except for any other kind.  Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan helped the world survive throughout the eighties and nineties by sticking largely to time-honored integrity and princepals.

My prayer is for Christ to return with the Rapture and honestly to combat the omnipresent evil which surrounds us.

Nevertheless, I thank another good friend Marge R for this current message.
