From Billy to Willi: A Bipolar Artist's Journey
William “Wiili” Armstrong
(1956-2003)
Wiili was a poet, writer, naturalist, bird watcher and artist. He was known for the visionary art (Outsider Art) that he created during his lifetime.
Wiili was a self taught painter and creator of many types of three dimensional art from ironing board collages to fences and everything in between. Wiili’s inspiration for his paintings and collages came from visions of angels or muses.
The majority of paintings had thick brushstrokes, with vibrant colors and images of the people in his life at the time of creating the painting or collage. Most of the paintings had particular birds, butterflies or angels in them and represent his true feelings at that moment of his life.
After discussing some of Wiili’s childhood and teenage years with his father in 2004, it was determined that Wiili knew roughly 60 species of birds. He claimed to know birds by sight, sound and even their migratory paths throughout the year. Willi at a young age tested at a genius level on the IQ charts and was one of the most colorful artists in the United States, and thanks to the paintings he created, will be remembered indefinitely. Many people that are in the art industry have commented that Willi was a modern day Van Gogh.
Wiili was well-known in Boone, North Carolina for selling his paintings on King Street and in a variety of shops. Tim Miller, of Blowing Rock Frameworks & Gallery took Wiili under his wing and gave him gallery space. Today, Wiili's paintings are increasing in value every year.

U.S. Cellular Field
U.S. Cellular Field is a baseball park in Chicago, Illinois. It is the home of the Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball's American League. The park is owned by the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, but operated by the White Sox. The park opened for the 1991 season, after the White Sox had spent 81 years at the original Comiskey Park. The new park, completed at a cost of US$167 million, also opened with the Comiskey Park name, but became U.S. Cellular Field in 2003 after U.S. Cellular bought the naming rights at $68 million over 20 years. It hosted the MLB All-Star Game that same year. Many sportscasters and fans continue to use the name Comiskey Park. Prior to its demolition, the old Comiskey Park was the oldest in-use ballpark in Major League Baseball, a title now held by Fenway Park in Boston. The current public address announcer is Gene Honda, who also serves as the PA announcer for the Chicago Blackhawks.
The stadium is situated just to the west of the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago's Armour Square neighborhood, adjacent to the more famous neighborhood of Bridgeport. It was built directly across 35th Street from old Comiskey Park, which was demolished to make room for a parking lot that serves the venue. Old Comiskey's home plate location is represented by a marble plaque on the sidewalk next to U.S. Cellular Field and the foul lines are painted in the parking lot. Also, the spectator ramp across 35th Street is designed in such a way that it echoes the contour of the old first-base grandstand.

Life in the 13 Colonies Explained
Mr. Beat's band:
Mr. Beat on Twitter:
Here's the story of how life was like in the 13 British American colonies.
Music by Electric Needle Room. All images found in the public domain or by Matt Beat.
Once upon a time, there were 13 British colonies along the east coast of North America. Today we classify these colonies into three groups: 1) The New England Colonies 2)The Middle Colonies and 3) The Southern Colonies
All the colonies had a lot of self-government and most white men could vote, as long as they had property. All of the colonies were prosperous grew quickly.
In 1625, the population of the colonies, not including Native Americans, was around 2,000. By 1775, that number had swollen to 2 and a half million, and this group in 1775 didn’t have nearly as much in common with or as much loyalty to their European ancestors. Yep, these American colonies had developed a brand new, very distinct, society, and soon they would be leaving their European ancestors behind.
The New England colonies were generally more religious, and though its settlers came to America to practice their religion freely, they, ironically, did not tolerate any other religion other than their own. Massachusetts was made up of Puritans, but some Puritans didn’t think the Puritans in Massachusetts were devout enough, so they left and started the colonies of Connecticut and New Haven. Meanwhile, Puritans like Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams, who thought the Puritans in Massachusetts were too restrictive, left (well, they were kicked out) to form the colony of Rhode Island. Rhode Island actually had the freedom of religion and a radical idea of separating church and state.
In New England towns along the coast, the colonists made their living fishing, whaling, and shipbuilding. Because farming was difficult, New England began to develop manufacturing with industries like shipbuilding to make money. Being furthest north, the New England colonies were the coldest, but because of this there was less disease than in the warmer colonies further south.
The Middle Colonies were the most diverse by far of the colonies. Different ethnic groups like the English, Swedes, Dutch, Germans, Scots-Irish and French lived closer together here than they ever did in Europe.
There were also many different religions, most Christian denominations, such as Quakers. With many religions came religious freedom, especially in Pennsylvania, the Quaker colony established by William Penn that had a constitution that protected many freedoms and would later influence the United States Constitution.
Economically, the middle colonies served as important shipping off point for valuable stuff to send back to Europe. Cities here, like New York and Philadelphia, grew quickly. Being in the middle (I know, such an original name, right?) put these colonies in the middle of everything, really. Ideas, society, culture, the economy, you name it. They also had much more fertile soil than the North. Farming The Southern Colonies, which also had very fertile soil, were all about the cash crops- mostly tobacco, but also rice, cotton, and indigo. Here, large plantations sprung up that required a large labor force. To fill this labor force, plantations often brought in both slaves and indentured servants to take care of the work. Slavery became an important part of the economy in the South. Being furthest south, the winters were more mild, but the hot and humid summers caused more diseases like malaria and yellow fever to spread easily. Life expectancy was lowest in the southern colonies.
There was also more religious tolerance in the southern colonies, even in Maryland, which was originally established for Roman Catholics.
Georgia was the southernmost colony and the last of the colonies established. James Oglethorpe had the idea to relocate thousands of prisoners from England who were there because they couldn’t pay back their debts to Georgia to start a new life, and King George II went along with it because the colony could be a buffer between Spanish Florida and the rich plantations of South Carolina. Plus, it was named after him.
Overall, the 13 colonies were extremely diverse, almost like 13 little countries. However, they all had a lot in common. They had similar political, constitutional, and legal systems, and most of them were WASPs. No, not those wasps. WASP- it stands for white Anglo-Saxon Protestants. Most colonial families were self reliant. Also, this might surprise you, all of colonies had legal slavery
was big. They produced lots of wheat and corn, and raised lots of livestock. Other industries here included the production of iron ore, lumber, textiles, furs and shipbuilding.
Kenneth Hagin - Red Hot Randy Grier & Rockin Reggie Vinson
At Campmeeting 94, Brother Hagin had Randall Grier and Reggie Vinson share some of what the Lord had done in their lives. You will enjoy listening to every minute of this!
Rev. Randall Grier answered the call of the Lord Jesus to preach the Gospel while on his third escape from prison in May of 1982. The Lord spoke to him in Galveston, Texas and told him that His Spirit would not always strive with a man. Jesus said, “The devil has laid a trap for you. And you are about to walk into it and wind up dead and in hell if you don’t turn your life over to Me today.” Rev. Grier surrendered to the call of God and turned himself in to the authorities. When he went to court, the Lord miraculously delivered him from a life without parole sentence. You can download some of Randy's messages from his website:
If you are a pastor you may want to contact him and have Randall hold a Revival at your church or Ministry Conference.
Reggie Vinson aka Rockin' Reggie was born in TN, and raised in Detroit, MI. Reggie grew up with the sound of the Gospel.
His mother was a Gospel Singer and his Aunt was Minnie Pearl, and his cousin is Pat Boone. Reggie has worked as a guitarist, background vocalist and co-writer with Alice Cooper.

The Life and Legacy of Thomas Berry Panel 1
For more on this event, visit:
For more on the Berkley Center, visit:
October 30-31, 2019 | Raised in North Carolina, Thomas Berry, C.P. (1914-2009), entered the Passionists in 1933. After defending his doctoral thesis at the Catholic University of America in 1948, he journeyed to China; the experiences there profoundly shaped Berry’s life and launched him into the study of Asian religions and cultures. During his years at Fordham University (1966-1981), Fr. Berry founded the Riverdale Center for Religious Research to facilitate reflection on modes of spiritual transformation through experiencing the great mysteries of reality. Particularly concerned about the growing ecological crisis, he wrote The Universe Story with Brian Swimme, later expanded into the Journey of the Universe project. At the age of 80, he returned to North Carolina, continuing to lecture and write as a cultural historian and later a “geologian” until his death in 2009.
Berry pioneered in-depth, study of religions in U.S. Catholic higher education, establishing a history of religions program in the Fordham University Graduate Department of Theology in 1966. He encouraged generations of scholars of Asian traditions, comparative studies, interreligious dialogue, and religious reflection on ecological challenges. While president of the American Teilhard Association, he expanded his vision, writing, and lecturing in the emerging field of religions and ecology, especially writing on the cosmology of religions. This conference celebrated Thomas Berry’s intellectual journey and The Great Work,” underscoring his contributions to the study of religions and cultures, Teilhardian studies, religions and ecology, and the Earth community’s way into the future.
The October 30 opening session took place in Dahlgren Chapel, the reception and book signing took place on the second floor of Healy Hall, and the October 31 sessions will took place in Copley Formal Lounge.
This event was co-sponsored by Georgetown University's Office of the President, Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, and Catholic Studies Program with the Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale University.
