Savoring the Best: Why Flying Heart Brewing is Central Louisiana's Pizza Paradise! | Ken's Restaurant Reviews

If you're in central Louisiana and looking for great pizza and handcrafted beer, you have to stop by Flying Heart Brewing in Natchitoches.

Honestly, I haven't had a great pizza since my family moved here from California almost six years ago. People in Alexandria rave about Wildwood Pizza, but when my partner and I tried to eat there, we were met with a terrible septic smell as soon as we walked in. We've never been back since. Eating at Philly's Pizza in Pineville has been a mixed experience, with decent pies sometimes overshadowed by greasy offerings. It’s disheartening when an Ultimate Supreme from Little Caesars becomes your go-to pizza due to a lack of better options.

Today In History | March Madness at Sea: The Epic Showdown of the Monitor and the Virginia!

 The Historic Battle of the Monitor and the Virginia: A Naval Revolution

On March 9, 1862, a remarkable chapter in naval history unfolded off the coast of Hampton Roads, Virginia, marking a significant transition in maritime warfare. The clash between the U.S.S. Monitor and the C.S.S. Virginia would not only be one of the most notable naval battles in the American Civil War but also signal the dawn of ironclad ships and steam-powered naval vessels.

The C.S.S. Virginia, initially launched as the U.S.S. Merrimack in 1855, transformed into a formidable weapon for the Confederate Navy after its capture in 1861. With heavy iron armor plating added above the waterline and armed with powerful artillery, the Virginia was a sight to behold. It made its menacing presence known on March 8, when it sunk two Union ships and left another stranded, showcasing its might.

The Missing Piece: How Connection to Christ Changes Everything | Journey Church | Pastor James W Greer

Have you ever felt like something was missing, but you couldn’t quite put your finger on it? In this powerful message, we explore the “mystery of the missing part.” Just like a puzzle with one piece removed, life doesn’t function correctly when something essential is disconnected. 

Jesus declares in John 15:5 that He is the vine and we are the branches. When we stay connected to Him, we bear fruit; when we disconnect, dysfunction follows. This sermon reveals a life-changing truth: most problems aren’t about the fruit; they are about the roots. And root problems stem from connection issues. 

Retro Cartoon Rewind | The Adventures of a Wascally Wabbit and a Screwball Duck | Part 4

 For this installment of Retro Cartoon Rewind, I decided to feature a selection of my favorite cartoon shorts featuring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. If you’re like me, you probably grew up watching these cartoons, and they undoubtedly influenced your childhood. I consider myself to be an equal blend of the Wascally Wabbit and the Screwball Duck, both mentally and emotionally, which probably explains a lot of things—just ask my friends and relatives! Aside from the psychiatrist bills, these wonderful cartoons still make me laugh out loud and bring back so many fond memories.

Beyond the Showdowns: The Untold Truth About Gunfights in the Old West | Ken Hulsey

 The gunfight is a staple of every Western television show, movie, and pulp novel. If you watched classic TV series like The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, and Wagon Train, you know it was the climactic scene in nearly every episode. The narratives of these popular shows and films, featuring legends such as John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Clint Eastwood, portray the Old West as being filled with hired guns, trigger-happy outlaws seeking revenge, and fighters looking for a brawl. It creates tension, doesn't it? Picture a showdown in a deserted street, guns blazing as two men face off in a winner-takes-all battle to the death. The fastest draw usually emerges victorious, that being most often the town marshal or the good-looking hero of the story.
