• Christmas Tunes By Kids & Teachers

  Today is the first time in too many years since I watched my niece in a School Program. It’s been at least 3 years. Work was the excuse last year, but lack of coordination and communication around the supposed parents is to blame otherwise. I am trying to be nice about it too. This was…

• A Pearl Harbor Spy

  December 6th the day before chaos erupted on the Hawaiian Islands. I used to think only about the day of the massacre and nearly forgot about the day before. What were people doing before the kamikaze Japs unloaded their frustrations onto the American and Hawaiian people? We know now that Japanese spies were asking questions…

• Star Of Wonder

  Egypt is a special place for God, Adonai. Ms. Hunt again has done her research and 3 times Egypt came to Israel’s rescue in Bible Times. Of course this third time was centuries after Moses happened to the royal family and the Red Sea miracle. All of those events were long gone and written into…

• 20 Years Ago…

  As I drove into the Wal-Mart parking lot this morning lots of thoughts hit me. There have been numerous times I thought I lived in that store. Now I tend to stay in the car. When I am in the store for longer than 30 minutes I can feel the pressure of the cement floor…

• Day #5

  The topic today is the Temple. The angle she mentioned from a woman needing to purify herself by paying for the offering of 2 turtledoves and pigeons. Childbirth was different in many ways and simpler compared to the hospital settings nowadays. Oral history was a tradition for the Jews and the verse in Genesis 3:15…

  Growing up we went on lots of neat trips together. Even as the whole Alsman Family we went to Missouri and stayed at Sikeston, St. Louis, and visited Cape Girardeau. Those were cherished family moments over the years. Then as I became a teenager my brothers and I went on a trip with Grandma and…

• Suffragist

  Women fought hard to gain their vote and be given the same rights as the men in their lives had. The Feminism movement seems to have disintegrated as well. They only care about ‘my body my right’ when it comes to killing babies, but not when it comes to men forcibly taking away the word,…

• Day #4

  Today’s topic in the Book Discussion was about the Eastern Kingdom. We know the story of the Nativity, but this is so intriguing to read. Angela even mentions a comment her Rabbi has mentioned. What if the magi who actually visited Christ could have been Jewish? His thoughts were based on the exile of the…

• The Sullivan VFW Update

  Not long ago I gave an update on some developing work details just west of where I live. Sullivan County is our County Seat so we spend a decent amount of time there. Plus our Tire Guy is literally right next to this area that got pummeled at the southern end of the City. Unfortunately…
