Harry Morgan, Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen
Harry Morgan, ‘M*A*S*H’ and ‘Dragnet’ Actor, Dies at 96 - NYTimes.com:
'via Blog this'
He always struck me as being a nice man and it seems as though he was very well liked by all who knew him. I remember him best for his roles in "The Apple Dumpling Gang", "Support Your Local Sheriff!", and my absolute favorite, "M*A*S*H". My heart and prayers go out to his family.- Basil

Becky Kelley - Where's the Line to See Jesus - OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO - YouTube
So, the story behind the song is really good. My Uncle sent me this in an email and I just had to share it with everyone. Merry Christmas!
About the Song
While at the mall a couple of years ago, my then four year old nephew, Spencer, saw kids lined up to see Santa Claus. Having been taught as a toddler that Christmas is the holiday that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, he asked his mom, "where's the line to see Jesus"?
My sister mentioned this to my dad, who immediately became inspired and jotted words down to a song in just a few minutes. After putting music to the words, and doing a quick recording at home, he received a great response from friends.
He sent the song off to Nashville without much response, except for a Christian songwriter who suggested adding a bridge at the end of the first chorus. My dad then asked if I wanted to record the song to see what we could do with it. I listened to the song, made a few changes to the words to make it flow better, and we headed to ShockCity Studios.
It was at the studio where Chris, owner and producer, rewrote the 2nd verse and part of the chorus... with goose bumps and emotions high, we were all hopeful and felt
like we had something special. The demo was recorded in just under 2 hours and
sent off again to Nashville... still no response.
Then 2 weeks before Christmas last year, my cousins Greg and Robbie decided to do a video to see what we could accomplish on YouTube.
The first day we had 3000 hits and it soared from there. We received e-mails, phone calls, Facebook messages from
people all over asking for the music, CD's, iTunes, anything... we had nothing. After a couple of meetings with Chris following the amazing response, we got serious.
We headed back into the studio this past spring... this time with guitars, drums, bass, pianos, choirs... the real deal.... and here we are today.
Getting iTunes set up, a website put together, and loving that thousands upon thousands of Christians have come together... remembering the true meaning of Christmas.
Out of the mouths of babes come profound truths that many adults can not understand. Hopefully Spencer's observation will cause people all over to reflect on the love of Jesus, and that one day we will all stand in line to see Him.
We are most thankful to our Heavenly Father to have this chance to share our music with you.
Merry Christmas everyone.

The Blocked Writer: The Coke Can Confusion
The Blocked Writer: The Coke Can Confusion: So I have decided that today's wondrous post will be a rant dedicated to all those people who became utterly confused by the holiday Coke c...
Hooked on Phonics Worked for Me!!
So I have decided that today's wondrous post will be a rant dedicated to all those people who became utterly confused by the holiday Coke can. So my husband brings me home some Coke. I prefer cans to bottles so that is what he got me. At first glance I thought it might be diet but upon reading (did you catch that?) READING, I quickly discovered that it was not Diet Coke. My husband says, "These are holiday Coke cans or something." Mystery solved! No big deal right. I mean I had already riddled it out myself from taking the time to read the can, but now all was right with the world because there was a reason for the chaos.
So, loving the holidays like I do, I carried on enjoying my holiday Coke can with the cute polar bears on it. The next thing I know there is a new Coke comercial explaining the switch. I think okay so there are apparently some people who can't read. The next and most interesting part of the comercial says, "hey we're gonna change it back." Wait! What?!! Yes that is correct, so many people complained about the new coke can and the confusion it caused them that Coke is going to get rid of the holiday can!!!
Coke had not only found a pretty can to use for the holidays to pair with its already established holiday polar bears, but was also teaming with the World Wildlife Fund to raise money for actual polar bears and their dwindling habitat. But, alas, polar bears are going to have to take a back seat to illiteracy in America. Lets just hope with the switch back to the comforting red can, Coke will raise money to get these people some hooked on phonics!!!

So I am going to make a serious effort to contribute to your blog. After all I am listed as an author on your blog the least I can do is live up to the title. Not exactly sure what I will contribute but it should be interesting. From what I can tell it will be useless rants about how stupid the general public can be, notice I didn't say IS but CAN BE. Anyways I will wish myself luck and hope that I don't tarnish your prestigious blog.

How to save the economy lol
To help save the economy, the Government will announce next month that the
Immigration Department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in
order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs.
Older people are easier to catch and will not remember how to get back
home.
I started to cry when I thought of you.
Then it dawned on me ... oh, my ... I'll see you on the bus!
