The ship that ran aground yesterday is docked in Gloucester County the 600 foot carrier from liberia apparently lost propulsion yesterday afternoon and no one was hurt. A big piece of Delaware County history but good news, the landmark that stood since 1919 did not go far. Eva pilgram was there for the work today. For almost 200 years people came to this little bend to go to church. The Original Church was built in 1919 and burnt down and this one 1850. When they bought this building a year ago the sanctuary had fallen on hard times. All the secondary arches were dropping down and the roof was in danger of collapsing. But the one thing that stood through it all the fire and time the blue port coout front. That was the gate out on the street, we have to think back to 1819 and just a dirtd road. There is a lot of history, this sign catalogs the history of the church, what is really special about them saving this gate, is that three u. S. President s walked through the gate in the 1800s, Andrew Jackson william harrison. We decided we did not want to get rid of this gate. So today the portico is on its way to becoming a gate again and on sunday april 19th people will once again walk through its doors. The fact that it is still here, we were able to fix it. Just the fact that anything can survive 100 and some years kind of neat. A history of faith and community a resurrection of sorts, a reminder of hope on this Easter Holiday weekend.

He was bradfords quarterback coach with the rams in 2010 when he helped the number one overall pick become the rookie of the year. He is good enough to get you to the big game. He is extremely intelligent and very competitive. The biggest weakness is can he stay healthy. That is the x factor he missed 70 of the starts since 2010 but he has no doubt in his ability and drive and bradford never took a day off when they worked together. He will flat out work his butt off its flat out pride to him. He can be a little bit of pain where you have to say sam back off a little bit. Dont put some much pressure off yourself.
