  • Please keep in mind that I'm writing this post on Friday night. 

  • A cousin of mine on my adopted side passed away on Tuesday from cancer. A "celebration of life" will be held after his cremation; there won't be a funeral. 

  • I'm gradually recovering from my cold. My sneezing has stopped; however, my nose remains rather stuffy. The morning after I made myself mow the lawn, a canker sore appeared behind my tongue. It's still there, steadily improving.

  • I'm still ill with a terrible head cold. The sneezing is almost gone, but my coughing is worse; congestion comes and goes. I bought a new humidifier for my bedroom; hopefully, it will help. 

  • What's going on? The KC Royals have won 4 games in a row. They're 48-101. The question is: Can they win 50 games by the season's end?

[Review] — "ROUTE 60: THE BIBLICAL HIGHWAY" — {Giveaway}

[Review] — "ROUTE 60: THE BIBLICAL HIGHWAY" — {Giveaway}


Only on September 18 and 19, take your families to see ROUTE 60: THE BIBLICAL HIGHWAY in cinemas. Get your tickets to ROUTE 60 today at route60.movie. 



Praise for ROUTE 60: The BIBLICAL HIGHWAY 


"Visually stunning and compelling storytelling.” - Mike Huckabee 

"ROUTE 60 combines the truth of the Bible with undeniable archaeological proof, and like our tour guides, Pompeo and Friedman, that’s a powerful combination!” - Erick Stakelbeck 



About ROUTE 60: The BIBLICAL HIGHWAY


The biblical spine of Israel, also known as the Path of the Patriarchs and formally known as Route 60, cuts through the center of the Promised Land. This 146-mile stretch of asphalt and concrete runs from Nazareth, Israel's largest Arab city, to Beersheba, one of Israel's high-tech cities. It is a route of profound historical significance and is frequently the site of tension and bloodshed. Route 60, which runs from north to south, links Muslims, Jews, and Christians with one another, as well as Israelis and Palestinians.

This journey is more than just a two-lane road; it is a historically significant, sacred link to the beginnings of both Christianity and Judaism and the Old and New Testament accounts.

Follow the path that Abraham, Jacob, King David, and Jesus once traveled—as they go along this holy route with Mike Pompeo and David Friedman, two world-changing diplomats. Learn the past, see the mending, and grasp the optimism along the ROUTE 60: THE BIBLICAL HIGHWAY.



My Thoughts


Mike Pompeo, a former secretary of state of the United States, and David Friedman, a former ambassador of the United States to Israel, lead viewers on a 90-minute tour of historical locations along the "Biblical Highway" in the fascinating documentary ROUTE 60: THE BIBLICAL HIGHWAY. While Friedman is Jewish, Pompeo is a Christian. Their thoughts and reflections on narratives from the Old and New Testaments were intriguing.

I've never visited the Holy Land, so I was anxious to watch a documentary about the landmarks and learn more about biblical history. Overall, I enjoyed ROUTE 60: THE BIBLICAL HIGHWAY; the 90-minute runtime flies by quickly. Undoubtedly, it's worth watching. ╌★★★★✰


Disclosure: Many thanks to TBN for providing a digital screener for this review. My opinions are entirely my own.

The Power of Words - How Cade Courtley's Books Leave a Lasting Impression

Words have a powerful effect on us. They can make us feel scared, encouraged, aroused, angry, greedy, or safe. They can also be used to manipulate people and cause harm. 


Positive words can build your life and self-esteem, encouraging personal growth and better self-confidence. Negative words can have long-lasting detrimental effects on your mood and self-image.

[Review] — "THE EXORCIST LEGACY: 50 YEARS OF FEAR"

[Review] — "THE EXORCIST LEGACY: 50 YEARS OF FEAR"
*The Exorcist Legacy is available to purchase on hardback and Kindle.* 

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic horror movie The Exorcist. I was eager to read The Exorcist Legacy: 50 Years of Fear by Nat Segaloff, a movie publicist, film critic, TV producer, college teacher, reporter, broadcaster, and, of course, author. In terms of The Exorcist, Sagaloff is no stranger; he served as one of the film's first publicists and wrote the highly regarded biography of the late William David Friedkin, who directed the film.
