The annual March for Life is this weekend, albeit accommodating for the current COVID-19 situation.  Some turned out for the main event in Washington D.C. but in large part it’s been a local affair.

Something I’ve noticed, and have for quite a long time now.  Here are some photos from today’s events and one or two from last year’s:

 
 

Notice anything about these pro-life people?  The biggest thing each of them has in common across these photos?

They are smiling.  They are joyful.  They are beautiful.

They look genuinely happy.

Now let’s be clear about something.  They are together in common purpose: to end the most barbaric practice that this country and too many others sanction.  As Mother Teresa said when she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, “the greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her unborn child, what is left ...

You couldn’t resist, could you?  You were duly warned.  You were told that there was nothing that I could do.  And yet some of you couldn’t keep yourselves from asking me about her.  SOME of you even went so far as to offer money for her Facebook page.  And I can’t do that either.

But never let it be said that this blog doesn’t try to deliver.

So it is that today, I bring to you the first ever…

The Knight Shift
SWIMSUIT EDITION

Featuring my beautiful cousin Rachael as she models a variety of cutting-edge swim attire.  As well as more about her, in her own words.

“I’m local in Miami but plan to travel internationally this summer. I’m happily single and plan on that for awhile lol”

  
“I eat honey every day. And I love God and life!”

“I hope to stay in the light and ...

It has been an unconscionably long time since my blog has seen a photo of either Lauryn or Rachael.  And some of you have been whining and crying for one all along.  Oddly enough they’ve all been guys.  Whenever one of these two cousins of mine have had their picture on this site, the traffic seems to ramp up considerably.  Funny, that…

Y’all owe Lauryn herself some thanks for this, boys!  Last night her grandmother, my aunt Billie (who also demonstrates how this family is unfairly blessed with lovely ladies) posted a photo of Lauryn and Rachael on Facebook.  I commented (not for the first time) how beautiful they are and a few minutes later Lauryn replied…

“Lol, Did we make the blog? …It’s been awhile ;-)”

Awright, she asked for it!!  And Rachael seems to be having fun with this too (but have a care fellas: she’s ...

Ever since I first saw this movie in February, it has lingered on the edges of my consciousness like no film before has.

And of all the wonder that is to be found in Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, this is the scene that has most entranced and enchanted me.

As I wrote after watching it then, this is a movie that dares to ask God “Why?”, before providing the same reply that God gave to Job.

Now that the thought occurs to me, I might even suggest watching The Tree of Life after studying the Book of Job from the Old Testament. Yeah: read everything from the beginning, on through Job losing all but his life and then to the monologues by his friends (some help they were!) and exactly before hitting the point where God comes in to answer Job, go to this scene in ...

So it’s been a few months since my ravishingly beautiful cousin Lauryn got married. She had been The Knight Shift’s official pin-up girl for a number of years and she did a magnificent job… and we all wish her well 🙂

But don’t y’all think that this place could use some more loveliness from my family? ‘Cuz I sure can’t offer any of my own!

So then, here is The Knight Shift’s new pin-up girl: amazingly sweet, talented, beautiful, and one of the most wonderful young ladies in the Lord that I have had the pleasure of knowing: Rachael!

I know what some of y’all of the masculine persuasion are already thinking… and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Rachael is taken, fellas. Not only that but her father (I was the ringbearer for her parents’ wedding years ago) is like eight feet tall or ...

Here it is: the post that I have somewhat dreaded having to make because it’s going to plunge a lot of single guys out there into tears.

Lauryn, my ravishingly beautiful cousin (okay, “second cousin” if we’re going to be technical about it) who has served as The Knight Shift’s official pin-up girl for the past few years, was married to her boyfriend Jason over the weekend! I’m so very happy for the two of them, even though this blog is losing one of its biggest attractions!

(But hey, I lose a poster gal and I gain some family: not a bad deal, and I’ve another single lady waiting to be the next beautiful attraction on this site 🙂

So here it is: the very last pic of Lauryn that I foresee posting on this blog (barring family reunions etc.) Fittingly it’s of her being escorted by her father ...

sigh…

For a week now, even during the trip to D.C., my mind has been in agony over how to approach this.

I’ve gone over it a thousand times and more. But, I suppose there’s nothing left to do, but to go ahead and address this. And maybe… maybe… some of us can get up the courage to move on.

For a while now I’ve been posting photos on this blog of my incredibly sweet and ravishingly beautiful cousin, Lauryn. And they’ve become something of a hit. In fact, I’ve even received numerous e-mails from single guys asking, sometimes begging, me to get them in touch with Lauryn.

Here she is from a few days ago, as a bridesmaid for my cousin Angela’s wedding. That’s Lauryn on the right (with Angela’s sister Rachael on the left)…

Lauryn is a beautiful bridesmaid.

And she’s going to be even ...

Not much time for blogging, ‘cuz your friend and humble narrator has had his hands in all kinds of projects! And then again there’s been so much nonsense happening in the news lately, it’s been hard to pick and choose what to comment on.

(Hey all you politicians in D.C., there’s a really easy way to stop worrying about the debt ceiling: quit making more debt!! Sheeeeesh must a guy with a blog have to come up with everything for you people?!)

Okay well, expect more good stuff in the next few days or so. And to kick it off, how about something beautiful? No not more Lauryn, even though my cousin is still the most awesomely sweet official pinup girl that this or any other website could possibly have. But rest assured, Lauryn will be back soon 😉

Time for something a lil’ different. Here is Kristen this ...

Awright awright… I KNOW that it’s been since March that The Knight Shift has had a new photo of my exceptionally beautiful, sweet and inspirational (can’t say enough how much she has encouraged me in my walk with Christ) second cousin, Lauryn. Yes in case you don’t know already, this blog has an official (more or less) pin-up girl! Okay, maybe “pin-up girl” isn’t quite the right terminology, but you get the idea.

So here’s a new one, and this one demonstrates that Lauryn looks downright gorgeous no matter what it is that she’s doing… including feasting on crabs in Maryland!

Remember guys: Lauryn is a taken gal. And even if she wasn’t, you’d have to get through me. You get through me, then you’d have to deal with her father Bob… and you don’t wanna mess with Bob 😛

So now that that is done, I’ve got The ...
