A blog for history, genealogy, research, and whatever else is on my mind!
That's a title that's probably going to attract a crowd here! (LOL) It's certainly a subject that many Christians feel strongly about - myself included. Welcome to the 28th edition of My Fortnightly Movie/TV Thoughts! Last fortnight, I reviewed Titanic (1997). This fortnight, I'm reviewing (you guessed it): Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001), … Continue reading Harry Potter
Today I present my Restored English Translation (RET) of Matityahu (Matthew) chapter 2. As usual, it contains the Hebrew names, with a glossary of them at the end. CHAPTER 2 1 Now when YEHOSHUA was born in Beyt-Lechem of Yehudah in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east … Continue reading Restored English Translation of Matthew: Chapter 2
A little while ago, I posted a biography of my cousin General Sir Frank Walter Messervy (1893-1974). Today, I'm posting a biography of my direct ancestor Sir William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke (c.1146-1219) (also known as William the Marshal), a medieval English knight. From Wikipedia: William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1146 or 1147 – … Continue reading Lord Pembroke: A Biography

Also contained is a list of … Continue reading Restored English Translation of Matthew: Chapter 1
Time for another cryptid post! As many are aware, the hybrid creature known as Bigfoot has many names in many countries and cultures; in North America, the most well-known is Sasquatch; in China, it is Yeti. Here in Australia, we call these creatures Yowies (or less commonly, but possibly more accurately Yahoos). First off, a … Continue reading Bigfoot (Yowie) Sightings – In Australia!
Welcome to the 27th edition of My Fortnightly Movie/TV Thoughts! Last fortnight, I reviewed Home Alone 4 (2002). This fortnight, I’m reviewing:
That of course is the Australian rating; in the United States, it’s rated PG-13 for disaster related peril and violence, nudity, sensuality and brief language.
As usual, I’ll give the trailer and a clip at the end.
