Two young men looking for ghosts got ghostbusted with the gospel and turned into open air event at Devils Den in Gettysburg. Pray for Jay and Chris they are dabbling in witchcraft.

Today in 1865, General of the Army of Northern Virginia Robert E. Lee surrendered his Confederate forces to U.S. Lt. Gen. Ulysses Grant at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia, thus effectively ending the bloodiest war in U.S. history, and not a moment too soon.

. . . Lest we forget.

For the first time in very long time I can officially say that I am not only content but am actually pretty happy with life. As some of you know, my uncle and myself moved into a new house (well not a brand new house but certainly new for me) back in October. I LOVE the fact that the house is out in the country relatively isolated with my nearest neighbor being at least a half mile a way on one side and so far away on the other side that I can't even see their house from mine while there's nothing but Virginia's finest rolling farmland across the road as far the eye can see.

During the winter months we used an old furnace that was in the basement to heat the house (It worked so well that the heat pump never once came on and our highest electric bill was only around $110). However the price to pay for that was some good old fashioned manual labor which was us going into the woods, sawing trees down, cutting them up into smaller pieces, using a splitting ax to make those pieces small enough to fit into the furnace, then finally making several trips up and down the basement steps to stack the wood in a neat pile near the furnace.

And now that spring and the warmer weather is finally here I have started a garden. I have rambled enough in this post so I won't go into details about the garden only to say that I plan to make it the best looking garden in these parts! I will plan to post some photos later on sometime.

By living out here and doing all of this manual labor I have gotten myself back in pretty good shape both physically and, more importantly, mentally. Heck I already have a decent tan which is something I haven't had in years so look out ladies because ole JT just might be back on the prowl pretty soon! :

April 9th


Americans All
The Civil War came to an end, for all practical purposes, in April 1865 when Robert E. Lee’s starving, exhausted Confederate army found itself hemmed in by Union forces in Virginia. On April 9 Lee met with General Ulysses S. Grant in a farmhouse at Appomattox Court House to offer his surrender. Grant’s terms were generous: the Southern soldiers were to be pardoned and could go home with their private property, including their horses, which could be used for a late spring planting. Officers could keep their side arms, and Lee’s hungry troops would receive Union rations. “This will have the best possible effect upon the men,” Lee observed quietly.

Three days later the formal surrender took place as Confederate troops marched forward to stack their weapons and lay down their flags. The Union officer in charge of the ceremony was Joshua Chamberlain, a hero of Gettysburg. Leading the Southerners was General John B. Gordon, who had been wounded many times in combat.

Chamberlain watched Gordon approaching. As he later described it, “The General was riding in advance of his troops, his chin drooped to his breast, downhearted and dejected in appearance almost beyond description.” Something stirred in Chamberlain’s breast. He gave an order, a bugle call sounded, and his men came to attention with their rifles on their shoulders. It was a salute of honor.

General Gordon looked up in surprise. Recognizing the gesture, he wheeled his horse, dipped his sword, and ordered his own men to return the salute. Lee’s defeated veterans stepped forward with heads high and eyes level—honor saluting honor.

Then it was over. The Union had been tested and had survived. With a salute of soldierly respect, the nation’s wounds began to heal. Both sides faced a new beginning as Americans all.

No audience ever complained about a presentation or speech being too short.

The audience are likely to remember only three things from your presentation or speech.
