THANK YOU BLOGGING PARTNERS FOR MAKING UNFOLDING US HISTORY # 1
I want to thank all of you who have been reading my US History blog, and have made it # 1 in this area. I try to write in a way that those who read will find a pleasure in reading, but will also learn, and maybe unlearn some things about our past, our present, and most challenging future. I am...

THANK YOU RONALD REAGAN, THANK YOU JOHN PAUL II
First German Pope in nearly 1000 years and first Benedict in nearly 100 years. Who made this possible? The Holy Spirit of course, but long before this date, the Holy Spirit used two men who both were nearly assasinated, and changed our world for time and maybe for eternity. Again, thank you Ronald...

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE...
I had a blog at # 1. I left what was then the blogging network and have been away for more than six months. At that time, some of you may remember me as Poet 3. I just got burned out, and now I have returned, and that is why my nickname is "readywriter55" I recently turned 55 and with some of the...

TO BE OR NOT TO BE A WRITER, THAT IS THE QUESTION!
As the sun rises on each new day, my thoughts begin to move 100 miles an hour. How can I keep up with them? How can I write about them? Are they really as moving or as important to others as they are to me? All of that takes time and much thought, that is why I call myself, "An Aspiring Writer" for...

ITS BACK, YES, IT'S BACK.
Baseball is back in Washington D.C. I have not cared much for baseball since the last strike though the world series last year between the Yankess and Red Sox wet my appetite, and now baseball is back in Washington were it belongs. Because of this, baseball may have a fan back, how about you?

WRITING YOUR OWN SONG OF FAITH ---
in a world of doubt, greed and ignorance. These past few weeks, most of us have been moved by the outpouring of love and affection for Terri Shiavo and John Paul II. Though under much different circumstances, both of these had written their song of faith, and the world got to hear them sing it...

REWRITING THE MUSIC OF YOUR LIFE PART II
My life is singing off key, or maybe my life's guitar is out of tune. When you talk to people today and read much of what is written on blogit, it seems that the first sentence of this post is far too true. Sometimes you and I can not control situations and circumstances in our life, but again,...

FRIENDS, ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN, LEND ME YOUR EARS...
You remember these words from Mark Anthony's speech in Julius Ceasar. Since the funeral of John Paul II, these words have been "Friends, Romans, and Global Family, Lend Me Your Ear, and Give Me Your Heart." These words were spoken not by any of the participants, but by the Living God himself. Have...
