The Summer Olympics

 We are getting ever so closer to one of my personal favorite events, the summer Olympics. The 2024 summer Olympics will begin on Friday July 26 and will come to a close on Sunday August 11 and it will be in Paris, France.

God! I love the Olympics, to me, it is like having a show and tell in school where many different countries get to showcase what they have to offer. And we all get to learn new things from different cultures.

Who would have even thought something like this that started off in Greece years ago has become such a major event. 

I will certainly be running around different channels throughout the event because there are so many different athletic competitions going on at once, which in itself is exciting. There is going to be 329 events going through 32 different sports.

Me personally, I am excited to watch, boxing, wrestling, swimming and some of the martial arts events as well.

In my humble opinion, the Olympics is a place where everyone from around the world can come together as a sign of peace and good will to their fellow neighbors. 

However, I also fear that things are becoming political in the games and that it will ruin the fun and the experience that the Olympics has to offer. 

But trying to stay on the positive, I hope and pray that everyone that will be competing in Paris in a couple weeks will all have fun and enjoy themselves and that this year's summer games will be exciting.

Again, the summer Olympics will start with the opening ceremonies on July 26 on NBC and Peacock.

Until next time! God Bless and Be Safe!🙏🙏🙏

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
