Skillet Christian Rock Band (30 Years)

 I remember my dad would always tell him how he is feeling so old because some of the bands he listened to as a kid. I am now starting to get that way myself as I am realizing that a ton of bands that I listen to as a kid are now reaching big milestones. One of those bands is a Christian rock band called Skillet who this year will mark 30 years since their debut album.

Although a number of people have played in the band, the current lineup to Skillet are the husband and wife duo of Jonathon Cooper who is the Lead Singer as well as Bass and Korey Cooper who plays rhythm guitar, keyboard and backup vocals.

Along with them you got Seth Morrison who is the lead guitarist for the group and of course, you can not go without the drummer and fellow singer Jen Ledger.

The group has had such great hits like Comatose, Whispers in the Dark, Monster, Hero, Awake and Alive, Feel Invincible, Looking for Angels, Sick of It. Heck! Their song Legendary was used as an intro to Monday Night Raw.

My personal favorite song by Skillet was Monster, mainly because as a kid and to a degree as an adult. I loved listening to rock and metal music and being a Christian, many people would give me a weird look and tell me that it is not good to listen to that stuff. But thanks to bands like Skillet, I was able to feel comfortable in my own skin. It was like they were telling me that it is okay.

Thank you so much Skillet! I hope and pray nothing but the best for you and your families. Keep on rocking!

Until Next Time! 

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

Congrats To Trent Hidlay! (World Champion)

 Although, it has become common knowledge, by many of us who live in Mifflin County. But former Huskies' great Trent Hidlay pulled off an incredible comeback and became the 2025 World Wrestling Champion in Croatia at 92 kg. After being down 10-2, Hidlay powered his way back to defeat Amanula Gadzhimagomedov 13-10 to win the World's Gold Medal. This is such an inspirational story that needs to be told because stuff like this does not happen very often, especially in a small community like Mifflin County.  To me, the story of Trent is all about never giving up and continuing to push forward as well as hard work and dedication. What this young man has done is truly remarkable. I have been covering local sports for over ten years now and seeing where Trent has started to where he is now really puts a smile on my face. I mean this kid has won two State championships when he was in High School before moving on to Division 1 college wrestling at NC State. While there, Trent was a fou...

The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: McVeytown Fire Company 18

 Sometimes the most adventurous days come when you do not expect them and today was certainly one of those days. Chad and I went outside to take care of recycling and Chad had suggested we go check out the brand new Fire House for the McVeytown Fire company.  His boss from Kountry Kitchen, Amanda Boozel, her husband Doug is the Assistant Chief of the McVeytown Fire Company and they invited us to come over and check out the new the building. Of course we decided to go and see it for ourselves. When we arrived, Doug was not there yet, but we were welcomed by Nate Moist and many other members of the fire company and Moist went and gave us a little tour around the building. It was quite beautiful and I am glad to see that they were able to get the building put up. Now, remember when I said that sometimes the adventure can come when you least expect it. Well that came as we had just finished up our little tour, the alarm went off as a fire had broken out.  While Chad and I sto...

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...
