Aug 17, 2017 A Walk in Eufaula

I went for a two mile walk today in Eufaula, AL.  Heat index was about 102 degrees.
 
 
 
I started out on this Creek Indian trail which was converted to a rail road in the 1800's.
 

 

The rail road was abandoned and is now part of the Rails to Trails movement.
 
 



                                           Beautiful scenery as it crosses over Lake Eufaula.

 Around the previous curve there is a path that leads up to a cemetery.
 
 

 I had to stop and tell the old soldiers how sorry I was about the recent events occurring to dishonor their good names. Did these two own slaves?  I don't know but being privates I doubt it.  How long before someone starts ripping up their monuments I wonder?  I wonder if they even know that slaves are buried in the same cemetery just a few yards away?  When we die are we not all the same?

Preacher's Pulpit Sedries #7

Comrades, greetings in the name of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.   There sure is allot happening in the world today.   Could it be a sign of the times?   Recently, our Supreme Court made it law that gay couples can legally get married in all fifty states.   This once again is usurping the rights of the states by our federal government.   Next, an insane person goes in a black church and kills nine people after sitting through the service with them and because someone saw him with a Confederate battle flag on the internet we are seeing the systematic destruction of an entire culture and heritage that was also based on state's rights.   Even though it is the leaders of these states that are doing it in the name of political correctness without the consent of the people. The members of this church who lost their pastor and friends and family have chosen to follow the example of Christ and forgive the terrorist while other people who are filled with th...

Hike to the Chattahoochee Head Waters 09/04/19

It has been a long time since I have been able to go on a hike in the North Georgia mountains and I must say I have missed it.  Well, yesterday I was able to do a short hike to discover the beginning of the Chattahoochee River which is so vital as much of Georgia's main water source. So below are some stats and a short video of my adventure.  I hope you enjoy it.                                                                                                        ...

Preacher's Pulpit Series #9

, greetings in the name of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.   I pray that everyone made it home safe and sound from Gettysburg.   For me it was a wonderful experience.   Not only did I get to participate with my comrades in arms I got to see some sites that I have never been to before.   These included Harpers Ferry, Winchester, Kernstown, Cedar Creek, Cross Keys, and Port Republic where the Jackson campaign ended in 1862.   I also found the site where the great General of Jackson’s Calvary, Turner Ashby, fell after his horse was shot out from under him leading the rear guard.   May he rest in peace.                 The one disappointment that I had was due to schedule changes. I was not able to deliver my sermon.   Fortunately, Chicago Dave asked me to read a scripture to him and a few others which opened the door to expound on the truth in God’s Word.   As for the ...
