History

Affluenza?!

I'm sick and tired of "privilege" being treated as a "natural right"! I'm sure you've all heard or seen news reports on that rich teenage boy who drove under the influence and ended up killing FOUR people, FOUR!!!! This is not something new, for years the affluent have been treated differently when it came to the law. Now it's gone too far, there's legal precedence that's been set! Can you imagine the amount of people that will try to claim "Affluenza"????

Based on the same arguments, one being that his parents never set limits so he was unaware of the negative outcomes of his behavior, I propose that the poor, urban and/or minority population use similar arguments.

How about those suffering from Povertisia, Urbanitis or Minorititus "He/she was taught to survive by any means necessary." Those means are limitless as well. Sounds ridiculous ? Good, so is "Affluenza"! EVERYONE KNOWS EVERY ACTION HAS A REACTION. The difference with those who think their wealth gives them a clean break is that THEY KNOW THEIR WEALTH GIVES THEM A CLEAN BREAK.

Our justice system needs to cut the crap! Call a spade a spade, lock his butt up and NOT in the fancy prison. His life is not more than theirs. We are all born naked and when we die we turn to dust so tell me who is born gold and stays just so?!

Go ahead. I'll wait...

Nelson Mandela: The Legacy Lives On

Nelson Mandela. A great man in this world's history. His legacy is not tied down to one place and time, it lives on and is reflected in freedoms and victories and talks and lives- worldwide!

A gentleman, a wise man, a peacemaker, a mover and shaker- shifting the unjust winds of the world with heart and will stronger than many. A legend! We are thankful for the 95 years that President Nelson Mandela spent on this earth tilling the ground until it yielded fruits worthy of eating, sharing and replanting.

My prayers are with his family, friends and those who knew him.

Be inspired and let's continue what he, like many before us, started. We must continue walking!

Veteran's Day, Say Thank You!

Today is Veteran's Day! One of the best days we celebrate as a nation. Why? Because these heroic people are who have fought so that we CAN be a nation. I encourage you to hug a military person today- the branch doesn't matter- they ALL do the same thing for us, SERVE & PROTECT! I love them for it.

So today, put aside your political beliefs because its really not about that today. Show great gratitude to our service men and women, honor those who willingly gave themselves to defending you- US. The blood spilled on the battle field or those who died on home soil- honor them.

When I think about these veterans, both living and gone, I cry. Jesus Christ said in John 15:13 "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends." Because Christ did this for the entire world thousands of years ago at the highest magnitude I can now understand this kind of sacrifice for countrymen and it demands heartfelt gratitude.

It breaks my heart to see and know that our Veterans are not appreciated and cared for the way they SHOULD BE! Do your part, say thank you. Serve them today.

God bless.

The Cross

You may or may not know this but I am a born again Christian. I am unashamed of that fact. That being said, this video from Billy Graham reminds me of why I serve The Lord. Words cannot begin to flow onto this screen. I am speechless and in incredible awe of the magnitude of the awesomeness of Christ Jesus and the sovereignty of Almighty God.

Take a look. Share your thoughts. God bless you :)
