Thanksgiving on Rockhouse at Mama and Daddy Pollock's (my grandparents) house during my growing up years was definitely not like my house today. It was hog killing day, no turkey would be found on the table that day. There would be a big fat hen, dressing, all of the fresh pork that you would or wouldn't want!! A big pot of meat that was cooked especially for Daddy Pollock? That consisted of ears, tails, tongue, heart and other various parts of the dearly departed pig that leaves me at the... Full story
Meet Oscar! He is 8months old and came to HFHS with his brother and sister. He was pretty feral but is now warming up to people. He is really sweet and calm, and he would make a great house dog if you have a yard for him to run around in from time to time. He doesn't jump all over you like some dogs. He's pretty timid, so he needs a home that isn't very chaotic. Message or on Facebook or email highforesthuman...

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

As we head into December, I'm pondering the Christmas song "A baby changes everything" which goes through the emotions of bringing forth Jesus into this existence through Mary and the sacrifices of Joseph. Without a doubt, it is Jesus who we worship, adore, and follow as our ultimate example in life. But it is difficult for me to think about him without remembering the roles of Mary and Joseph. The Angel of the Lord came to Mary and explained the favor that God found in her. She was hand picked...
“May you live in interesting times.” - a saying often misattributed as an ancient Chinese curse. Years ago, when I was in middle management, my subordinates and I were entitled to two 10-minute breaks daily. Because of a chronic manpower shortage, I could not -- in good conscience -- avail myself of all those breaks. In fact, in one particular span of several months, I could count my actual “breathers” on the fingers of one hand. I brought the matter to the attention of my boss, who...

There was lots of food and the grand kids got to play a lot, everyone had a good time here at...
