  Do you ever get into conversations you wish you hadn’t started? Especially when you are driving? No I don’t mean anything to do with iPhones! This is completely about conversations in the car before you decide where you are going to go! Okay I was totally alert I was looking back as I went backwards.…

• Delving Into Eve

  This isn’t exactly an altar, but from this vantage point it does look similar. An alter wasn’t needed until after Adam and Eve’s forceful move from their paradise. Everything they held dear in the garden of Eden was no longer theirs. They could no longer care for the animals as they had and God did…

• What were your parents doing at your age?-Writing Prompt

  Farming. It was our life and our livelihood. They had three kids and I wouldn’t have been quite a teenager as of yet. We as the Alsman Family were closer when we farmed. Grandpa Freddy was our rock and our foundation as a family. He kept us glued together. He prayed for us and with…

• Soldiers

  Well… it has finally unsurprisingly happened. Another 3 American troops to add to Biden’s bloodied hands. The toll of our Nation’s finest since he took over the Oval Office is 18 not to mention the thousands and millions of fentanyl deaths also because he refuses to close the border and our American Citizens still being…

• A Line of Birthdays

  I am not certain that we celebrated all together very many times. Papaw Freddy’s older brother, Horace was born on the 21st, the day after mine. So literally once I arrived the line got even longer. It was me then Horace, his grandsons, and then his daughter in laws. That is four Alsman Birthdays in…

• Troops Left Behind

  Why on earth does this White House hate our own military? Every American can see it in the actions and inaction of the past 3 years. Foreign Policy has never been Biden’s strong suit ever. Obama’s Former Department of Defense has even said I am paraphrasing that he has been wrong on every foreign policy…

• Does Blogging Make A Difference?

  For 3/4 of a year I have written articles on various topics. Current events, personal events, my hobbies and especially my passions of music and history including Bible history. We live in a time where morals are upside-down quite literally. Women cannot define themselves and it seems to be a fact now that men can…
