In God we trust


February 06, 2020



Today, at approximately 9:06am, I sat in our television room and watched with a hopeful heart as our President stepped up to the rostrum and stood still while all those assembled there gave him a standing ovation; a lengthy ovation that I knew, he believed he was deserving of and long overdue.  One thing I was glad to see was Nancy Pelosi joining in, standing and applauding.

This was the annual Prayer Breakfast, attended by all kinds of humanity from all over the world. I believe the President said that there were 160 different countries represented.


Considering what he had recently experienced, I wanted to see how he would deal with the circumstances and the atmosphere of the occasion. The topic was religion! I believe most citizens of this great country did not consider our President a very religious individual. I include myself in that group. But, I also knew that the President was full of surprises.  He gave a wonderful speech overall, but there were a few moments sprinkled about, wherein he allowed his flesh to filter his words.


The King James version of our Christian Bible teaches us that all men in high positions of great power are installed by God’s Will.  That teaching came straight out of the lips of Jesus Himself as Pilate was in the process of passing judgment upon Him. 

 I believe it because Jesus said it and I look at this current President in the same light. I was hoping that God’s Spirit would influence the heart and soul of this powerful man whom He had placed where he stood at this moment. What an opportunity this was for our nation. 


I’m not going to be one of those people the President said he didn’t like, telling you that I pray for him all the time; because it’s not true. 


You know; I doubt that Pilate was feeling God’s Spirit after Jesus told him the truth about this instant in world history and exactly where he stood in the scheme of things, but I believe that God was in control of what was taking place. God had designed and assured that these events would happen. And they did!


 Perhaps I don’t pray fervently each and every day for our President but I do pray for our Nation.  I don’t know who writes the President’s speeches but I’m almost positive that the President doesn’t write them himself.  I would imagine that he is allowed input concerning any speech's content that is being prepared for any special occasion. But, I would like to know who came up with the phrase “author of life and giver of grace.” Fewer, more powerful words have ever been spoken in the halls of our government. I am sticking my neck out by writing that quote.  I relied on my memory for its’ accuracy and I know how unreliable that instrumental source can be for such important use.


 Should we all continue to pray for our nation after this day or do we simply walk by faith, believing that God has control of it all?


 I will always offer up my thanks to God for keeping our country heading in the right direction and along the path, He has planned for it.  I can’t foretell how our journey will transpire but I will say what our motto has always been … In God We Trust! AMEN!

Words familiar to Bigfoot researchers

Structure, Stone stacking, High tree breaking, Elusiveness, Tree-peeking, Rock throwing, X's both small and large, Horrific odor, Screaming, Whooping, Senseless chatter, Ferocious roaring, Teepees, Shelter, Parallel tree stacks, Tree knocking, Stone clacking, Nursery, False charge, aggressiveness, Bends, Arcs, Tridents, Gifting. I stopped the above list because I was getting bored.   I also tend to get that way when I'm watching certain contributors on YouTube. Allow me to state at this time that I am a Bigfoot Believer. I do not understand what Hoaxers get out of constantly trying to muddy the waters, so to speak. Of course, I have more questions about Bigfoot and those that try to figure them out than I have answers. One thing that really baffles me is the fancy cameras that some of the researchers use, with their auto-focus, zoom and a myriad of function buttons and settings can take crystal clear shots that are miles away but cannot seem to get one clear shot of

Bible thoughts & present opinions

A person can become bored rather quickly during a Pandemic Shutdown plus having feet of accumulated snow on the ground. So, on this day, I got bored, took a short nap with my wife, and got alone with my thoughts.  Should you read this; Welcome to my world! It is Sunday, February 21, 2021.  It is 5:00 pm, EST here in Kentucky. What bragging rights does a person have if they have managed to read a King James version of the Bible, cover to cover during any span of time?  OK! Perhaps they read it in one week.  That would be worthy, I guess. The point I am making here is that simply reading a book of any length doesn’t add much to one’s character or knowledge.  IMHO – hereafter to mean – In My Humble Opinion.  I do suppose one could gain in certain areas of fact retention or, as I so often put it, “in my vast storehouse of knowledge.” I do lay claim to being a self-made man, in that I learned so very little while attending public school for 10 years. What knowledge I accumulate

My only connection with Bigfoot

Here I sit, after reading all I could before my eyes began to complain from the strain and my head began to throb, trying to calm down and focus before I started a post for the group.   I have lived in the beautiful state of Kentucky, USA for the majority of my lifetime. I have hunted and fished more than most individuals during that period. I was an out-of-doors type; I couldn’t stand being inside any more than necessary.   I paid attention to what was around me, soaking up the beauty and the scents which came to my nostrils. It was enjoyable trying to sort them all out as I walked along. Flora and fauna; the good writers use such words when making reference to nature.   To myself, such terms left so much unsaid.   Some folk tell me I’m too wordy when I write.   Well, I try my best to paint word pictures in the minds of those reading my words. That said, allow me to add; after I started watching all those Bigfoot videos made in the Great Northwest, my vocabulary started coming
