Even Captain America Prays to God

Here is a page I like to see in more comic books. It's from a 2008 issue of Avengers/Invaders and it looks to me like Captain America is praying.

Can you believe this is happening in America?

Len Mink

I remember when local programming was more then just the news. During the day and some evenings even local stations had their own stable of talent they could build shows around. They had talk shows, variety shows and those who would host movies. In Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky the Nick Clooney Show was a local variety show that was first on WCPO and later WKRC. Years after it was canceled the Mr. Clooney would be back on at WKRC as a news anchor. On his variety show he had talents like Len Mink. He was a local singer who was very popular. This youtube.com clip is from Mr. Mink's last appearance on the show when it was on WCPO. Later, when he becaome a Christian Mr. Mink went on to a Christian music ministry.

How to stay young

Do you realise that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids?
If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about ageing that you think in fractions.
'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half.
You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key
You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
'How old are you?'
'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13,
but hey, you're gonna be 16!
And then the greatest day of your life ...... .
You become 21.
Even the words sound like a ceremony.
You become 21.....YES!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh,
what happened there?
Makes you sound like bad milk!
He TURNED; we had to throw him out.
There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30,
then you're PUSHING 40.... Whoa!
Put on the brakes,
it's all slipping away.
Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone
But wait!!!
You MAKE it to 60.
You didn't think you would!
So you BECOME 21,
TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50
and MAKE it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70!
After that it's a day-by-day thing;
you HIT Saturday, June 12, 2010!
You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime.
And it doesn't end there Into the 90s, you start going backwards;
'I Was JUST 92.'
Then a strange thing happens.
If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!' May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them'
2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning.
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever... Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the siimple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love ,
whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8.Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER : Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Archie's Something Else!

I may not like the new direction that Archie comics is taking but I still have a soft spot in my heart for the old Archie series. Here is one of the Christian comic books that Archie comics gave the ok on for Al Hartley to produce back in the 1970's. If they were any bigger they would qualify as graphic novels. Read and enjoy Archie's Something Else. Hopefully it will give you something to think about.

I can't believe this

Well it finally happened. Archie comics, that bastion of wholesomeness in the comic book industry, will debut their first gay character this year. Yes I know that Marvel and DC also have them but they are minor characters so they aren't in that many books and easy to avoid if you wish and I do wish to do that. But it is even more shocking to have it done at Archie comics. These books appeal to people of all ages. While the superhero the Question, who DC comics has made a lesbian, is not in every DC book but I am afraid that the new character at Archie may be in every book. I mean when was the last time you read an Archie book and didn't see one of the Archie gang have at least a minor role? The Bible says that the world would embrace the gay lifestyle more in the end days and that is what is happening.
When I was younger cartoonest Al Hartley got the rights to use the Archie characters in his Christian comic books. I read that he said he was worried that he couldn't get the owners permission as they were Jewish. But after he prayed about it and met with them they gave their ok. Got answered his prayer and I ask that we all pray that those in charge at Archie and the other comic book companies change thier minds on gays in comics. To prove my point I am not going to buy any new Archie comics. I am not calling for a boycott nationally. I am just doing it personally. We have seen that when you get attention nationally by boycotting something it usually has the opposite effect. But I do ask that you pray everyday that the comic book companies change their minds.
By the way the story is that the new boy in town is so good looking that Veronica wants to dump Archie for him. He come out when he talks to, of all characters, Jughead when he says nothing will happen as he is gay. Just thought you would want to know that.
