Emmett TIll's Glass Casket

The glass casket of Emmett Till showed the world the results of racism in 1955. The sheer hatred over an innocent act of a Negro youth visiting the South showed the world that hatred was condoned by the law. That casket will now be put in the Smithsonian to remind us where we were. It will remind how we got here and how far we still have to go.
The glass casket is really a metaphor for us today. Look at the face in that casket. Look at the face in the mirror. Do you see racism and discrimination based on language, poverty, skin color, sexism, religion, jobs,living condition, education(or lack of).

Forgiveness

There is something so wrong with Catholics and Protestants who really profess that they love Christ. They can't seem to forgive. But you have to be liberal to forgive and that is a curse word in this country these days. Fow News took the time to bring up Ted Kennedy's tragedy in 1969; his drinking and philandering. Why couldn't they have stuck with the theme of the day; a celebration of his life.?
"The Good is oft interred with their bones." Years of positive living and being the consummate legislator cannot erase the past. Some people in this country listen to the worst in the Media. Their job is to look at the news from the dark side.Yet, they are good Mass attending, Sunday-go-to-meeting Christians. No wonder Michael Vick will have a hard time. GOd, be with your Children

My Health

Now I have nerve endings in my toes that burn and tingle at any time. It's a part of Fibromaglia. I did not know that Lupus was so closely related to it. The pain has gotten so excruciating that I have been to the ER and to my podiatrist. He gave me METANX which immediately made me drowsy, but it worked. I slept all night last night for the first time in two weeks. So, I have to take it when I come in for the day. It is a 21 day experiment. Well, tomorrow, I will have insurance. I am going to pay my first preminum. This will cover me until January or beyond. Prescriptions and office visits. I have been saying this all morning. God is all right. Ain't God all right.

Michael Vick

Okay, now all of the animal rights people are going to use him as a way to get money. Donations are drying up, because of the Economy. So, they are making the Eagles organization give them money for their propaganda. Eveyone is not a animal lover. Many people would rather focus on the abused children who are bullied, cursed at, burned, beaten, sexually assaulted, etc. I love animals at a distance; not in my home. I have stuffed animals. Please, let the young man prove that he still has the ability. His talent is God given,so God has not abandoned him. The Devil, in the guise of the animal right movement, is attacking him. The devil does not forgive. this is so obvious. Some perspective is needed. Homelessness, lack of health insurance, public education are my priorities. Dog food, cat food, dog clothes are expensive. think of how that money could be used.

A Computer is a funny thing

We have made them so much a part of our lives, that when they go down, we get lost. Well, mine is in Rehab, and I am going through withdrawal. However, I read more and I am relaxed. When it gets fixed, I will be all right. If it doesn't get fixed right away, I will be all right.

Michael Vick

I just heard that my Eagles have a heart. They just signed Michael to a two year contract. Now if PETA would just leave him alone and let him play football with his God given talent. Well, Donovan had better look over his shoulders. That young man looks good when he throws, scrambles, and runs. And, he will be out to prove himself.
YOU GO YOUNG MAN!

LISTEN TO ME #2

I fell very good today. My toes didn't flare up as much today as they did yesterday. Must be the prednisone. I can't aford the Lyrica or any of the expensive pills I once took. However, God has opened a door for me, and I will just have to wait until I get some money to get into this insurance policy. I fired off an angry e-mail to the SHBP yesterday, but I don't expect help from them. I e-mailed legal aid in Camden and I haven't heard form them, either. I will make it. If it's just to spite those who wish me dead. They must, because why else would they use a technicality to suspend my coverage. My spirits could be better,but I will make it.

listen to me

I don't have health insurance!! Why doesn't the news media ask people like me what we do? Why do they go to Canada and other countries to compare us? Why don't they come out of their offices in their various cities and interview the people down the street and around the corner who don't have money for food and medicine? And why don't they publish the President's proposal on their web sites and in the papers so people won't be so rude and combative. When you've got knowledge, you've got power. You don't have to be angry at what you don't know. But no one is listening to anyone else.
Rush and Bill, you and your so called conservatives are the loudest, most wrong people. You know that when people are yelling, no one is listening, and, that's what you want. You want the President to fail. But when the yelling stops, the President will still be the president. It's only seven months. You forget that he has millions praying and working for his success. He will succeed. As a representative of which ever side you represent, your belligerence will last briefly,but cooler heads will provide a clearness of purpose and realty.

Forgiveness/Justice

Michael Vick is still a dynamic foorball player. He has paid his dues to Society. So, why won't Society let him earn a living? Or is it a matter of "hate the sin and the sinner?" I want to see him fall back and throw that football to someone who can run for the touchdown. Or I want to see him scramble for yardage. It's over. Let him go on to greater heights by using his God given talent.
I love Mr. Obama, but I am tired of seeing him on TV. Stay home at the White House and let your cabinet members and staff do their jobs. Oh and while you are at it, get a church home. I know that you know God and he knows you. Drive down to First Baptist Church in DC. They would love to have you. Get those children in Sunday School. I know you pray, but Church going is also needed.
President Clinton, you still got it. You subtle stance in North Korea spoke volumes. Body language in Diplomacy is very important and you used it quite well. Even thought they used propaganda in touting that you came, Americans saw that you did what was required and nothing more. Thank God for your expertise in world politics.
