My Mentor, My Friend, Brian Carson!

 You know, many of us during the Christmas season often ask and wish for that special present or that special moment to get what we always wanted. Sadly in this world we do not always get what we want. But there is one thing that I really hope to get, and it ain't for me, it is for someone else. Someone who I consider a great Mentor and more importantly, a true friend. And is his name is Brian Carson.

You see, Carson has been dealing with a lot of health issues these recent years and has been struggling. And to say that I am worried about him is an incredible understatement.

I first met Carson a little over 10 years ago when I first started covering sports. My first impression of him was a nice guy and crazy sense of humor and that he loves the Rams. 

But say what you will about him, he was always there to help. And more I got to see him, the more I realized that.

He and his humor were never a bore, honestly it helped brighten some of the most darkest days in my life. I honestly wished I had his confidence and his wit and the ability to not worry about what other people thought of him.

I can't  say enough about how much he has helped me writing wise. And I am not just talking about sports writing, I mean writing in general and how it can help change the world and the people in it. I can honestly say for a FACT that if it weren't for Carson, I don't where I be in life in general, I certainly wouldn't have been able to write my poems and even launched my first ever book on Amazon or just write stories and books in general. 

I can never put it into words how much Carson has meant in my life and how is still there for me and others despite his ongoing health issues.

And that is where I am trying to get at with this blog post. What I want for Christmas is for Carson to be able to be well again. While many of us will be with loved ones drinking hot chocolate, eating Christmas cookies and being around a warm fire. Carson getting cared for at a hospital. 

The point I am trying to make is, let us all come together and be thankful for what we have and the people we have in our lives. Because we will never know when we will lose them or be taken away from them.

My thoughts and my prayers are to you Carson, your lovely wife Maria and the rest of your family. I pray that my Christmas wish comes true because if anyone deserves to be happy, it is you Carson. Love ya big guy!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

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...

Nick Dickson

 Recently, I had found out that a family friend of ours named Nick Dickson had a stroke and people have been doing what they can to support him and his family. Nick is a local mechanic who has been serving this community for many, many years and has always been a generous, hard worker and honorable person at the Dickson's Garage along with his father Ken. He and his father are also local racing legends around here in Mifflin County having raced for a couple generations now. Nick and his family have always been honest with me and my family and has helped take care of our vehicles for many years. They are amazing,  hardworking people who now need our help. And according to the go fund me page that was set up by Andrea Baker and Valeri Thornburgh. The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
