Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer!

 You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen and Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But you recall the most famous reindeer of all?

Ah yes! Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, this was one of my favorite Christmas stories ever! And since we are getting ever so closer to Christmas, I figured it would be appropriate to talk about this amazing story.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was created by Robert L. May and it made its debut on the bookshelves back in 1939.

The story goes as Rudolph was born with a glowing red nose which in turn leads him to being mocked and teased by his fellow reindeer. But what at first was thought to be a weakness, turned out to be his greatest strength as a huge winter storm covered the world which kept Santa from delivering toys for Christmas. That was until they used Rudolph's glowing red nose to light the way for Santa and his sleigh.

This story is so amazing and it is also the kind of story that is still relevant to this very day. The reason why I say that is because how early on in the story, Rudolph thought his nose was nothing more than a curse. But it ultimately it was a gift from above and it was used to save the day.

It truly is amazing because we all can relate to something like that. We all have our own problems that deal with throughout our lives. We all wonder why we all deal with these issues. But I like to believe that everything happens for a reason. God doesn't make mistakes, there is a reason behind everything and we just never see it. You just have to have faith that it will all lead somewhere and that is what this story means to me. 😇

The song was amazing too. In fact, it was created ten years after the book was released and it was created by May's brother-in-law Johnny Marks who wrote the lyrics while Gene Autry sang the song which hit the number one spot of the Billboard pop charts the week of Christmas. The recording sold nearly 3 million dollars in its first year! 😲

I also loved 1964 stop motion animation television special which was made by Rankin/Bass Productions. The screenplay was written Romeo Muller who also written a number of other amazing Christmas animations as well like Little Drummer Boy, Frosty the Snowman and Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

It is such a beautiful story and I pray that many generations from now people will still be influenced by Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
