Pancakes and KISS

September 10, 2016 by Alan Leave a Comment

Pancake maker Facebook postBefore I start composing my sermon for tomorrow, I wanted to post two videos. First, of all things, this first one may be our most seen post on Facebook (792 impressions and 369 views):

Holiday Inn Express pancake maker(The view count I mentioned above is from Facebook, not YouTube.)

The second video is an awesome display of patriotism and appreciation for our military by KISS. Ignore the “shot at Colin Kaepernick” stuff…that is a mischaracterization:

Okay, now to convert all my research into a digestible sermon…while listening to…you guessed it…KISS! ๐Ÿ™‚

P.S. Here is the original Facebook post that is so popular:Continue Reading

Proof the Transcontinental Railroad Completed in Strasburg

November 9, 2015 by Alan 1 Comment

Transcontinental railroad video clipFlying from Denver to Oakland on Southwest this afternoon, I checked out a series called America Fact vs. Fiction on the American Heroes Channel. Not only was it a very interesting program, but it was pretty cool that 30,000 feet above the earth I saw proof that our great town of Strasburg is the true place where the transcontinental railroad was completed!:

Now, it wasn’t the first time I heard that…but it was the first time I learned exactly why we can claim this important milestone for our great country…thank you Kansas Pacific Railroad!

Congrats Matt, You’ve Won a Mug!

September 5, 2015 by Alan Leave a Comment

15 ounce mugThanks to everyone who entered our mug contest. Most did so by liking our page on Facebook, second by contacting us via the web site, and third by following us on Twitter.

And…Matt Laughlin…you’ve won! We’ll be reaching out shortly to get your address and soon you’ll be drinking 15oz of your favorite drink from the best mug in Colorado! ๐Ÿ™‚

Since this is all coming straight from my personal wallet it means we won’t be able to do tons of them, we will have more contests for free Strasburg Rocks! stuff…so if you didn’t get a chance to enter or didn’t win this time…don’t give up…you’ll get another chance!

P.S. If you still want a mug, you can purchase it from our Zazzle store and Zazzle’s Labor Day sale means everything is 25% off. (Zazzle forces us to charge at least a 5% royalty. We will donate any that we get to a local charity however.)

“The Gospel According to Colt Ford”

August 17, 2015 by Alan Leave a Comment

Colt Ford's "Workin' On"Once again I’ve been remiss in posting…something I promise to avoid in the future…

Although you have to admit, fracturing my left elbow three weeks ago gives me a little bit of an excuse. ๐Ÿ™‚

(Speaking of “Life in Strasburg”!)

Either way, I figured until my next Strasburg-specific article I’d give a link to a sermon I did over Memorial Day Weekend, “The Gospel According to Colt Ford.” (We found a great church before we moved here and still drive there (Centennial) weekly to attend.)
