Siran Stacy

My sister and I went to Frazer tonight to hear Siran Stacy. What a powerful evening. How someone can do what he does after losing his wife and four of his five children less than 18 months ago just amazes me. That this man can hang onto one thread of faith that gets him through one breath at a time and have the faith and courage to listen to God's calling him again to the ministry he walked away from 18 years ago is a reminder to all of us of the old adage, "God isn't through with me yet."

We don't understand why these things happen but Siran Stacy is proof that God can take the most broken of lives and piece them together again for His glory. What a testimony!

Carver High-Valley Head Brawl

How embarrassing to tune in to CNN and see the Carver-Valley Head brawl. I think both teams should be eliminated from the tournament. For those involved, do you have a clue how this makes people perceive you, your school and our city? This is despicable behavior and I hope the juvies and the adults face serious consequences for this behavior.

Rush Limbaugh and His Ilk

I cannot believe that any American would hope a president would fail. How unpatriotic is that? And doesn't pill-popping Limbaugh realize by now that we had years of a failed presidency under GW and as, his failures went, so went the nation and now President Obama and his people have to try to clean up the mess.

While I never liked GW as a Governor or a President, I certainly never hoped that he would fail! After 9/11 when he went into Afghanistan, I supported him. But, people, the majority elected this man and I, for one, researched, read, watched and prayed before I decided to vote for him and I dare anyone to imply that I am neither Christian or patriotic.

There is no perfect solution to all of this but sitting on one's hands and backside is certainly no answer either. If you can't be part of the solution, don't be a part of the problem.

And for all the racists and bigots out there, since you feel the way you do, why don't you drop to your knees every morning, noon and night and thank God that when He designed you, He used the "white" brush. Because whether you like it or not, He made us all and the Bible says He made us in His image. Now, we know God is all-encompassing so there is nothing to say He is of any color. And all of you had better realize that God's Heaven has no back door. If you don't learn anything else on this earth, I hope you learn that before you make your final journey.
