I See A Cardinal. I Miss You Nan

 This past Friday marks nearly 15 years since the death of one of the closest people I have been with. She was so loving and kind and basically everything I try to be in my own life. Many people who knew her as Shirley Parks, but I called her Nan.

Usually days like this ultimately end up with me being depressed because I know that she is gone and is never coming back.

But for some strange reason, I have been seeing a cardinal a lot. Thought it was weird yet comforting. So I decided to look the meaning about seeing a cardinal.

Turns out seeing a cardinal is a sign from above that a loved one(s) is near. Which is interesting because November 15 was when my Nan had sadly passed away. Which would explain why despite feeling down and depressed, I still feel a comfort around me. 

Which isn't surprising to me that it makes me feel like my Nan is with me. She was always there to comfort me for good portion of my life. Heck! All she even had to do when I was upset about something was to just simply kiss me on the cheek and tell me she loved me and everything I was feeling would just go away.

Seeing a cardinal also remembered me of my Pap as well who was a big fan of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. I always loved being around him too, mainly because I'd loved how silly and goofy he get sometimes. Of course now as I get older, I'm starting to think that Pap did that on purpose just to annoy my Nan lol.

I truly believe my Nan is comforting me right now letting me know that everything is going to be alright. And I thank you Lord for it.

Miss her greatly, although I know that we are going to be faced with death someday. But I try my best to get through each day.

I loved her so much! I know she is in a better place. I really appreciate you comforting me Nan like you always had.

God Bless you Nan!

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
