The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: Yoder Family Christmas Party/Cody, Christine, Macy And Lukey!

 This past weekend was quite interesting to say the least, as me and my family got to go to our annual Yoder family Christmas reunion. We also got a visit from my older brother Cody along with his wife Christine, my nephew Lukey and their always fun dog Macy.

Thankfully they managed to get here safely on Friday. I always get nervous because it usually takes them or us about five and a half hours to get to each others' houses. Of course, with it being a lot colder out and there was some snow falling down, it just makes me more anxious and I am again thankful for them getting here safely.

Of course it was going to be a crazy enough weekend as it is with a hyper four year old as well as the fact my family was going to be watching the Penn State game before heading off to the reunion.

In fact, football was already going crazy in the house as I was watching Notre Dame defeat Indiana which I was thankful to see but now it is onto Georgia. Then on Saturday my father was glued to the TV as was myself and other family members while my older brother Cody decided to go with some friends to see the game live. And to be perfectly honest with all of you, I was not expecting it to be a blowout like the game ended up being.

But now it was time to go see my family at the reunion and I must say, it never fails to amaze me how my family truly is. And it is crazy to think that like my family that I grow up with are now having children of their own. 

It is always good to see my family though, plus I think it is very important because you never know when you or others will be leaving this Earth whether we like it or not. So it is always special when we go see them.

Of course it was cool to see my little nephew go run around and play games with his cousins especially since he doesn't come around often due to them living in New York. I loved seeing him smile when Santa Claus made an appearance and handed out presents. Lukey was so excited to get a shirt with a tornado on it. For some reason he is into tornadoes but nonetheless, I was happy to see him smile.

It was fun and exciting weekend and with it coming to an end, I pray that Cody, Christine, Lukey and Macy will all have a safe trip back home. Love you guys always!

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. ...
