Arguments over which old movies to watch

By "old" I mean older than I am, i.e., 1953 or before. Interestingly, it was about the time I was born that Hollywood really starting putting objectional language and situations in movies as common practice. We have a stand-off at home. Pam and I like old detectives - Sarah does not. Sarah and I like swashbucklers - Pam does not. Pam and Sarah like some chick flicks that I don't - although I do watch quite a few with them. There are some I can't stomach (e.g., anything with Gene "Singing in the Rain"). I have no one in my household that likes old cowboy movies. However, help is on the way: Jason is a fan. Also, Kathryn does watch Roy Rogers with me when she is in.

I guess I had better post something here if I want folks to keep coming back to talk to me, huh?

Pulaski Association (Primitive Baptist)

I attended the Pulaski Association in Georgia this past weekend, and Bro. Taylor Pippin and I stayed with Elder Raybon Lord and Sister Ginger. They are a wonderful couple. He has lost one wife previously, and she has lost two husbands, and their affection for each other is touching. Bro. Raybon is one of the true pillars in the church, an able and heart-touching preacher.. His father, Elder Ben Lord, was known and respected all over the country.

Rachel Claire Sacran

I have a new granddaughter, Rachel Claire Sacran, born to Rebekah and Jason the 22nd. Needless to say, we are very happy and very thankful.

Rashad Jones-Jennings

Rashad Jones-Jennings is a senior forward for the UALR Trojan basketball team. He will be the leading returning rebounder in the nation next year. I got to see him get 30 rebounds in one game last year (a conference record). UALR opens their second season in their new arena in Little Rock this next year. It is really a beautiful facility. I was the second person to go through the doors in their first game in the new arena last year, behind the #1 fan, The Man From Plaid, who does a dance at the breaks in each half and really gets the crowd into it.

Elders of the Salem Association

These are the elders in the Salem Association of Primitive Baptists of western Arkansas: (L-R) Adam Green, Charles Holmes, Dennis Horn, Calvin Kennedy, Steve Jackson, and Mark Green. One of the greatest privileges of my unworthy life has been to labor among this humble and dedicated group of men. Lord willing, before the year we will have another elder in our association: Bro. Steve Woods is to be ordained at the request of Fort Smith Church.

The reason for practicing good order

Order is that which prevents confusion. It is that which allows precision in the operating room under great tension, or efficient operations on the bridge of a submarine under enemy fire. We have need to practice order - remember fire drills. We do not practice good order for ordinary circumstances, but for unusual ones. The person who decries order is the one who is likely to be trampled underfoot when someone yells, "Fire," in a crowded sports stadium. A small force in good order can easily defeat a much larger one in a state of confusion.

Hi. I am Michaelspappy because my oldest grandson is named Michael, and my grandchildren call me "Pappy" (as well as other people).
