An Essay EMBRACING CHANGE CONFRONTING THE FEAR of LIVING & BEYOND

 Original date: Monday, December 12, 2005

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" 

(2 Tim. 1:7)

 Thought: Fear knocked at the door Faith answered. No one was there. 

 Many years ago I listened as a friend of mine shared in a anonymous meeting he was very articulate and said that prior to getting clean the one thing he feared most was change, but being a man meant standing perpendicular before GOD and when he had made a decision to turn his will and life over to the care of GOD that replaced all of his fear. Then he said something that most people don't say in those closed meetings instead using the term "God of my understanding" or "Higher Power" he said the name of Jesus Christ. The room was quiet as he spoke loudly and bold and later those comments were made people refer to him as a spiritual giant he begged to differ by responding to them by simply saying "I'm no spiritual giant but there is a GIANT in my spirit."

That takes a lot of courage for anyone to admit to have any fears at all publicly, but many of us do. We often become complacent or get comfortable with our lives then don't realize that when we aren't challenging ourselves often we become stale, stagnate, and we stunt our growth. It's like eating the same thing for dinner every other day because it's routine quick and easy then on Saturday you treat yourself to fast food at McDonald's at the same spot order the same thing and every time it tastes good until one day it loses the appeal and taste. Another analogy would be to wear the same hairstyle everyday for a period of time never change the way you comb it even part your hair the same place. The hair style that used to get compliments somehow appears dull and played out.

Change comes often and people evolve just as quickly as the seasons change. We work hard at perfecting a routine with our friends, lovers, or spouses only to look up one day and find that they have drifted off in another direction and many times instead of accepting the fact we either run or walk quickly in the opposite direction because we lose the stamina to embrace them where they are at and the same thing holds true when we experience changes in our lives a need to shift gears or do something different to improve ourselves. We can also shift into reverse gear and do some things that destroy our character and ruin relationships.

But one thing that is constant in change, if nothing changes, nothing changes. As the saying goes where ever you go there you are. So you can't be afraid of what we understand or don't understand in life or death, sometimes it has no explanation. So many of us are never prepared financially, mentally, or spiritually and the end result is devastation.

When we are young their is a feeling that we will live forever or are invincible, can leap tall buildings in a single bound. As we mature and experience life we get some hard knocks and realize that some of those buildings just a tad to steep to leap across. That's when we become more practical in some cases people just ignore the facts. Some die young or live miserably because they foolishly believe they can trick life and end up the trick. Pay now or pay later the bill is always in the mail and one day you have to pay. So if you living in a comfort zone, maybe it's time to raise the bar a little, you can always become better - strive for change. Remain teachable, humble, and lovable. Don't be afraid to embrace change - because if you living a fruitful life you can surely count on an eternal peace when you exit the building (your body) a living temple.

We never know what God's plan is for us - remember that it's okay to make the plans but you can never plan the outcome.

Faith and hope is your best weapon to overcoming fear. Prayer is your insurance policy. Love is unconditional keep an open heart and willing mind. Even when it seems like your down you might be down but not out. Like my friend said look straight up stand perpendicular to GOD. Fear not. As Human beings we fall short and have many shortcomings but GOD has never failed or come up short. Fact we can count on the sunrise and sunset. Fact we know that there is a moon and will always come out in a way shape or form. We know that the seasons will change and we always prepare for those changes. Just like us we go through many seasons in life, but If we can trust GOD to do all of that, we can trust Him with our own changes that affect our lives today. Just for today, we can hope for a tomorrow and plan ahead. But no matter how it all turns out we embrace it with humility without beating our chest in vain glory.

Our faith shows us what we cannot see.

An idea begins with a thought and then is brought forward into reality. An artist sees the painting in his mind before it ever touches the canvas. He touches the canvas until what was inside of his mind sets before him and the passion makes him more eager to bring it forth. Imagination is just an image in our mind we decide when begin - to make it a reality. Most of us go to bed at night convinced that surely they are waking up in the morning and that's okay too. That's called having faith.

Faith without works is dead being alone - change should not be feared but reverenced. It takes courage to color outside the lines step outside the box- change is an inside job with you the individual and often has a ripple effect on others. If Beyonce wakes up in the morning and decided to go short, blond, and curly. Just by changing her mind she will influence females to go blonder, short, and curly too because it looks so good on her, they are convinced that look surely will look good on me too.

Change allows you the luxury of knowing who really is for you and whoever stays around to see that person evolve til the end are the ones you come to love and trust. These are the people who are not afraid to be honest with you right or wrong, good or bad. They are your mirror, mirror on the wall. Always have one friend that won't lie to you even when it hurts and you can be reciprocal in love, spirits, and truth. Nine times out of ten this is the person you probably have even taken for granted along the way. Embracing Change brings you face to face with love, love of self, life, and GOD.

Celebrate Life Everyday! - because you're evolving into a better, wiser, and you represent success.

Three Things Man Can't Escape

Great Pride often comes before a fall...

WORD OF THE DAY! 

Lust of the eyes; Lust of Flesh; and

....The Pride of Life 

"Obedience is better!"

  

"A Tongue"  

controls the words coming out of your mouth which can equal your Destiny or Defeat

 "A Weapon of Mass Destruction"

- WMD ~

The Tongue gives choice to speak anything into existence even the desires of our heart.

Negative Words are very detrimental it can be the curse to change the entire trajectory of your life I see them as the Artillery a thought in your mind but once its out of your mouth goes straight into the Wind

It carries your words straight to GODS EARs! Once it leaves your lips what you say is a prayer of petition. That's why you pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, it's a done deal. "Be Careful What You Pray for, You Just Might Get It!"

 Positive Words you speak can uplift your character and encourage you during any test its like currency (money) which increases

 "Faith" 

Strength for the journey (the footwork) towards your Destiny

Be Still and Wait
Trust GODs Timing

If you have a conscious mind to listen before you speak, ears that can hear and never allow other people negative thoughts or perceptions of you become your reflection ....

Hebrews 4:12-13Amplified Bible (AMP)

12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the [a]breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.

 So many people are suffering and small businesses are collapsing due to the manipulation of men. We can all enjoy prosperity it's more than enough in this world. Please you radical haters don't believe I'm a flaming socialist because that's so not true, I love you too and want you to prosper in life. Be comfortable and know we can all exist and enjoy our portion. Problem is everybody wants to be in control or to control authority even to bargain with GOD based on the size of your tithe. I believe the book of Acts illustrates how GOD views that ritual, all of it belongs to Him if he wants it all back give it to Him... And by no means take all the credit for achievements accomplished because GOD is a jealous GOD he loves shout outs. Why cause it helps the doubters believe in An Infinite power so yes He'll bring up Men inspired to do good i.e., T.D.Jakes, as most leaders He has raised up the real ones will stand out above the ones who are false put it this way, Bishop is God's Man. So if I had to come under a Man of God as Pastor he mine... I've learned so much about being a wholesome christian, some days I don't even believe how much GOD has moved in my path to demonstrate that I'm not running nothing. I had spiritual constipation because I wanted to pray then take the credit for the achievement. 

Hebrews 6:17-20Amplified Bible (AMP)

17 Accordingly God also, in His desire to show more convincingly and beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose and plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath.

18 This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us].

19 [Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot [a]break down under whoever steps out upon it—a hope] that reaches [b]farther and enters into [the very certainty of the Presence] within the veil,

20 Where Jesus has entered in for us [in advance], a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with [c]the rank) of Melchizedek.

Bishop T.D. Jakes preached about this series topic "Submission;" (Pastor's sermon was more inspiring) see TD Jakes on YouTube it might be in his library.

Living in these days that's seems absurd people automatically think it's weakness, but I beg you People of Faith or searching for an answer; He illustrates how the people building the tower of Babel tongues were confounded; King David indiscretions by taking advantage of his power in sleeping with another mans Urieh 's wife Bathsheba.  Who slept at his front door, instead of going home to be with his wife, committed and loyal to King David's throne. Conspired to cover up the adultery then orchestrating his death sending him to battle on the front line as a means of covering up the crime.. 


The cover up is always worse than the crime! Everyone is down with that in this day in time and GOD still watching and if he corrected King David who worshiped and adored GOD, who are we as a Nation that should get away free?

WORDS of MASS Destruction is the cause of many maladies cause problems... Wickedness is inbred meaning that we all have sinned and do so on a daily basis it has no color basis.
As Human beings we need to stop beating up on one another and trying to make one feel that perfection exist. It doesn't in this dimension. It exists, but we all must atone even you my friend. We may fellowship but each person is accountable by knowing GOD for yourself; with Jesus as your advocate in Heaven meaning you must come to a point in your life to accept Christ in your heart is a intimate decision. That's definitely a case by case basis. 
Yet not one of us even my Bishop can claim perfection this is what we strive for into eternity. WMD is the tongue once we learn to control it and LOVE one another color won't matter..... not one bit! Speak LIFE to loved ones and friends instead of lies, rumors, and gossip. Stop trying to straighten out someone else's business and work on your own. My take on it is that even during these hard times unemployment rising, foreclosures, homelessness; the celebrity sites are booming with gossip about this celeb and that rap artist.. In other words even if the grass looks greener in your friends backyard just stay focus on you and water the grass in your own yard. Put energy into showing respect for others and a kind word from time to time.

Well, most of those terrible things that are taking place in our homeland today I believe not what nobody done said is of how we treat our fellow Americans and take much for granted. con't below;

We live in a democracy and our republic allows freedom of expression, differences of opinions at the end of the debate in a free society composed of many races, creeds, and colors we learn how to Unite as one Nation*

It's just this simple if you can't say anything nice; don't say nothing at all. Those unkind words, thoughts, which become deeds could hurt someone you love or care about.

We learn how to "Compromise"

Footnote* Debate is healthy when you debate facts surrounding problems in order to achieve a common goal that benefits all not just a few. 

 America is a land full of immigrants and most of these people against immigration and President Obama neglect this fact we all traveled by boat to get here all races except the AZTEC, Comanche, Navajo, Black Foot, nameless Native American tribes all on reservations in this country in poverty as we speak... now they're flaming more division by talking of repealing the 14th Amendment. GOD is all over our pledge of allegiance, Declaration of Independence; Constitution, and saved the best for last our Money

"In GOD We Trust," 

Hateful speeches and puppet dolls dangling to disrespect our first African American President Obstructing our government by withholding a congressional vote in order to benefit only 1 group of individuals. I was listening to the figures of what the companies would have to pay based on profit level of small business $400 pays $12k more in taxes once tax cuts expire so they rather see this country collapse instead of vote to give small businesses help which would help the really small businesses 1 man entrepreneurs hire helpers Americans who take money directly to retailers for cars, clothes, this is the average worker the major consumer's. Sending jobs overseas is their policy in order to give away $millions in bonuses yet they upset about expiring tax cuts and paying higher taxes, I struggle to get to work pay check to paycheck and living in a modest small room. But I thank GOD for it as if it were a mansion and will continue to give Him praises & honor for all that I have life, liberty, and  a chance to achieve prosperity. 

I leaned my lesson by being humble, and controlling the words the flow out of  my mouth, and better than that how I treat and approach others. That's not easy everyday. I still cuss... All kidding aside. So this might seem preachy, political, and OMG how dare she go there to those who know me but if you live long enough you pray hard enough GOD can and will change your life if you really seek to serve Him, I'm always praying for Him to keep me humble enough to be led and taught by good leaders raised up by Him. That I have the strength to come under authority let somebody love me and take some risk by faith, speak life into your life and the lives of others stop being so hateful if you can't help a brother out as a hand up don't say a negative comment ~ and for those who feel pitiful or pity others stop that, speak life over that person, you too are highly favored and truly blessed even when you can't see it! Doesn't mean I trust every human being that crosses my path but I can be more patient and understanding while they are journeying onward and if I can assist in anyway be willing if GOD makes me able or given me enough to do the right by others. A hand up not a hand out.. theirs a difference.

Take time before you speak to understand the power you hold; you may consider it as insignificant. The way words may come across to whatever group of people you hang out with ( your inner circle or outer circle) that value your opinion{s}. Be mindful that when you prophesy or project negative words then later to find out it came around. 

Speak life to some body's life, and be encouraging. Learn how to step out on faith when a situation appears hopeless; learn to stop hating long enough to listen and discern what makes sense vs. what is just mean spirited; ignorance; or plain old wasted energy.  These are the people who believe in the same Jesus I believe in yet they forget is last commandment "

John 15:1-16Amplified Bible (AMP)

15 I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vine dresser.

2 Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit.

3 You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you].

4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.

5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

6 If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

8 When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you showand prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine.

9 I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [[a]continue in His love with Me].

10 If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and live on in His love.

11 I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joyand gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing.

12 This is My commandment: that you love one another [just] as I have loved you.

13 No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends.

14 You are My friends if you keep on doing the things which I command you to do.

15 I do not call you servants (slaves) any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing (working out). But I have called you My friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from My Father. [I have revealed to you everything that I have learned from Him.]

16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as [b]presenting all that I Am], He may give it to you.

 and lastly, this how I can prove what you speak out of your mouth goes to God's ears.

Read below!!!

  

**Colossians 3 

Amplified Bible (AMP)

3 If then you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

2 And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.

3 For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in [the splendor of His] glory.

5 So kill (deaden, [a]deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God).

6 It is on account of these [very sins] that the [holy] anger of God is ever coming upon the sons of disobedience (those who are obstinately opposed to the divine will),

7 Among whom you also once walked, when you were living in and addicted to [such practices].

8 But now put away and rid yourselves [completely] of all these things: anger, rage, bad feeling toward others, curses and slander, and foulmouthed abuse and shameful utterances from your lips!

9 Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old (unregenerate) self with its evil practices,

10 And have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self], which is [ever in the process of being] renewed and remolded into [fuller and more perfect [b]knowledge upon] knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him Who created it.

11 [In this new creation all distinctions vanish.] There [c]is no room for and there can be neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, [nor difference between nations whether alien] barbarians or Scythians [[d]who are the most savage of all], nor slave or free man; but Christ is all and in all [[e]everything and everywhere, to all men, without distinction of person].

12 Clothe yourselves therefore, as God’s own chosen ones (His own picked representatives), [who are] purified and holy and well-beloved [by God Himself, by putting on behavior marked by] tenderhearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, [and] patience [which is tireless and long-suffering, and has the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper].

13 Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive].

14 And above all these [put on] love and enfold yourselves with the bond of perfectness [which binds everything together completely in ideal harmony].

15 And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ’s] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].

16 Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts.

17 And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.

**Keep striving for perfection cause even when you fail or succeed. Promises from the Grace of GOD

**By Faith you can wake up to live another day don't quit just try, try again.....be Mindful of the"Words", - that come out of your mouth and the deeds that follow, negative words bring on a bad day; positive words, bring about a better attitude towards yourself and others so smile find the pathway to brighter days.........

Peace and God Bless

Coming from a Black Experience - feat EWF All about Love

Coming from a Black Experience

black poetry

 Being a Woman means strength, nurturing, desire, love, and beauty.  

But, as she evolves from a girl into a young woman, until she becomes mature her strength increases and when she becomes a mother and a wife her nurturing increases as well as her desire for her husband and the need to be encouraged, loved, and desired.

As time evolves the changes of life, illness, strife, financial strains, or separation tests her strength and her tenacity for baring and travailing.  All the while her beauty has changed from sexy her shape changes slightly, by the time she reaches her winter womanhood the glow if she’s blessed her inward beauty will meet her outer beauty like a butterfly released from a cocoon , she’s free and wise a matriarch that wears her beautiful crown proudly.

Men evolve from a boy, who loves playing the hero and seeking adventure by sewing his wild oats, and when he becomes a Man giving up those childish ways so he can become the leader a provider, protector, vigorous & strong, he demonstrates loyalty to those he trust, a hunter always on the hunt to improve his environment and protect his rights.  Males are visual from the time they are born observant they’re attraction always lean toward outward beauty, from cars to beautiful women, all shapes and sizes whose femininity is soft  yet vivaciously strong, then one day, the right one comes along able to serve as his backbone his Queen to be forever and ever.

 He’s now tasked as the leader and protector of his Kingdom always willing to go the extra mile no matter if he has to do it alone or with his partner.

 As they get older, they often fight to hold on to the vitality of their youth.  Always admiring beauty all around it often becomes a struggle not to be tempted into disloyalty they revert to days of their youth having lust of the eyes they often rationalize “well, I can window shop.”  But being a Father and a husband can be rewarding for a man because he has a high bar to fulfill, but if he blessed to have real back support, he’ll always be able to conquer those things he fights day in and day out. 

Seeking only one reward, the Grace of GOD

OH LORD PLEASE DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD

MISUNDERSTOOD

We are born and come into the world innocent naked hoping we get a great set of parents carnal being dealt a hand only to be met with a life uniquely designed for us aligned with a bigger plan in mind.

Momma seemed to understand set me on the right path during adolescence was a cakewalk, puberty I woke up misunderstood. Being the only girl, struggling to fit in outside their world.

So I grow, learning to communicate one word, then a thought, until I can stand alone with adulthood issues to problem solve without Mommas help.

Misunderstood

Given the values of a Queen to run any “Kingdome”, coached by many mentors who taught the laws of the sacred Golden rules attended Sunday school; participated in Tom Thumb weddings being prepared to become a wife to fear and love the Lord seeing me as “The Bride” walking hand hand down the aisle. Disillusioned, I misunderstood the facts of life.

Misunderstood..

Barbe & Ken dolls, Doo Wop songs, Temptations, Ojays, Luther, and the like, Main Ingredient kept me Spinning around with high expectations compromised more than once or twice.

Surviving humiliations

With my head held high, seeking my guidance headed east pass Jupiter for the only one who truly does get me, truly loves me exactly as I am.

 He understands.

Before I began to compose this, suddenly, in my solitude I hear Smokey Norvel ministering from the radio then at once to my inner voice leaping inside to the song, “I Understand,”  it seemed appropriate cause you can’t choose your family, not even your lifetime partner or that handful of friends; maybe?

Who may never get who you really are that sometimes take you for granted as you evolve onward towards a magnificient journey that God has laid out just for you to follow no explanation given we struggle for answers rarely do we understand. We end up growing in truth and love as we learn how to serve our fellow Man in one-way shape or form. Whether life feels routine somewhat self righteous with little or no major ups and downs. Give him Honour, and honour those who teach you,

Just remember GOD Understands, in his word he Proclaims, I AM God the only one who changes not, day in and day out. I call on and rely on Him Jehovah Jireh my Provider, Jehovah Nissi my banner, and El Shaddai Almighty GOD, the strength giver..

Who never sleeps nor slumbers

For I can’t satisfy my own soul, my plight is solo some days I don’t fathom why God moves in his ways I end the day in prayer , getting through the mine fields each day achieving the Victory seems astounding“Thank You Lord Yeah tho I walk through the valley of the Shadow of death”! At times being persecuted by the world when it doesn’t matter if I’m minding my own business or just standing firm when controversy twists and distorts the direction of life that causes fingers to point, loud whispers, or even laughs life maybe hard but it's fair!

My mind remembering that what don’t kill you sometimes criticism hard as it seem can make you strong. Don’t be like Lot’s wife it symbol, Old Testament “she turned into a pilar of salt, New Testament describes it as being sifted as wheat”

Don't Look Back!

When people leave you or forsake you let them go. In the book, Acts of Faith remember what Iyanla proclaimed that your purpose, my purpose and other people’s purpose are but for, “A reason, a season, or a lifetime.

Walk on, through the wind, walk on thru the rain; Cry out to Him to please take my hand.

In time all things do pass away. And forgive yourself for letting go don’t hold on because moving forward is part of God’s bigger plan. He knows the prequel to the sequel better than you or I even the part about how much you are uniquely a blessing to others and often…

"Never Look Back" 
Live life on life terms with little or no regrets

Oh GOD Please don't let me be

Misunderstood!

EJI's New Lynching Report Documents an Era of Racial Terrorism | Equal Justice Initiative

Knowledge is Power

EJI's New Lynching Report Documents an Era of Racial Terrorism | Equal Justice Initiative  Disclaimer: I am not permitted to reprint the articcle but visit the EJI site for more information and current reports.

In December 2014 I posted an essay in support of #BLACKLIVESMATTER....... to protest the blatant denial in America how little value has been considered for the lives of Black Americans and the affects of the trauma, how it's evolved into bad policing.

This is the original Document as posted by EJI.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2RtxTh9Jf3uX0d2NmhsUElWQTg/view?usp=sharing
If you really want to understand the History and scars which attributes to the black condition in America here's a great article. 

  It speaks to our history as Americans and the experience of both races and what was considered "socially acceptable" way of bringing justice from white race point of view, but it was terror and meant death to the black race utterly powerless in most cases this essay goes indepth to recall factual information and illustrations documenting this inhumane but legal practices here in our Nation.  Maybe this won't change hearts and minds but at least you can't say you didn't know how awful life could be for people of color.  

  To this date no person in power in these United States has ever apologized and offered assistance to the decendants of these people, many "African Americans" who I refer to as Black Americans have been taught to accept and live with many of the generational maladjustments suffered by many families even mine who struggled to identify in a society that loved to "HATE" them and saw them as less than a human being.  We've come a short distance but until we have real dialog such as this piece (just click on the title to the link above in red)  for a frank and open conversation "just the facts" without embelishment, I hold a hope for real brotherhood and healing before the end of the 21st Century.  

  My grandson is Black, Hispanic, Native American, and White.  I guess he's really an "ALL AMERICAN!!" 

That being said I refuse to be afraid anymore
 for him or my Black son whose mere existance to some in our country can be a reason to die......  It's time to heal scars are real.

So check out your mind read the article and you decide..

Show some empathy & be humble lets try that for a start.

CRITICISM IS CRITICAL

ABOUT CRITICISM

"I feel when you defend yourself against criticism, it makes me think your just a little bit guilty"
quoted Suzie Orman @Morning Joe MSNBC 1/9/09

Don't play to your critic’s  just smile in spite of it ALL and know who’s really in control. We don't have to explain OURSELVES why we care, share, and love one another. Just serve GOD be available to live as an example and give truthful testimony about HIS GRACE & MERCY and how it's working in your life!  

There is no defense for the truth but a lie knows no boundaries.  Always on an endless road to living in self-destruction, or even death. Besides as prophesized most humans can't handle the truth because a lie is easier to believe.... Don't believe everything you hear, and half of what you see stop hating on each other take time out to be of service to somebody because your called blessed.


Be blessed in the LORD for HIS Mercy Endures forever!

Standing on the Promises of GOD.  Show some Love!
