• Thought Provoking Movies

  Late this afternoon I decided to watch one of the new movies on Great American Family. It was called “Finding Faith.” Some notable names like John Schneider and Vivica Fox were in the show. It has been a show that I have seen previewed but didn’t get the story-line until I sat and watched it…

• Homecoming Season

  Two weeks of Church Homecomings. It’s a lot of preparation. Last week was my parents church and yesterday was my church at Pleasantville. Both were wonderful days. We celebrated 205 years yesterday at the Pleasantville Community Church. They split from the Methodist Church due to the growing malfeasance by the Global and domestic church entity.…

• In The Zone

  Back in the month of May I was sweetly asked to work on a project for Grandma. Aunt Martha knows how I like to work with my hands, but more importantly I have a Cri-Cut cutter and sometimes a creative nature to work with my various art skills and tools. It was an honor and…

• Reagan the Politician

  Obviously I don’t remember very much about his two terms firsthand. As I mentioned the other day I was born on the day of his second Inauguration. Two big things had changed in the presidency and the policy of h inaugurations were done for me to share that special day with that special president. Firstly…

• Loving Reagan

  There are different themes I found from the movie Reagan yesterday. It took sleeping overnight to marinate on the two-hour long biopic and some research this morning. Two books came to mind this morning when I wanted to look inside Ronald Reagan’s life. Both are written by the same author, C. Brian Kelly, “The Best…

• Days of Musing

  The last few days have been immersive for me; I have been marinating over my thoughts. The 1st Amendment ensures the right of Free Speech.
