A 12-year-old Martin jumped from a second story window at his family home, allegedly attempting suicide.  Throughout his life he suffered from depression.  Some of it stemming from the harsh life in the south.

 

EMBRACE AND CELEBRATE: OUR HERITAGE TO LOVE AND PREVAIL IN A CLIMATE OF HATE.

I have a great appreciation of the history of people with a enslaved ancestry.  The continual pursuit of equity, humanity, and democracy has exacted a excruciatingly painful price from an extraordinary tribe.  The approach to achieving equal footing has been multiple marches on DC in various forms that bolstered democracy rather than put in peril with lunacy, lies, and hostility.

The noble tribe has every right to harbor animosity for what has occurred over 400 years.  Instead, the chosen tool to make change has been peace and collaboration.  MLK Jr led peaceful and non-violent resistance that often met with terror.  He was undeterred because he understood the endgame.  He was quoted as saying, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

The next line of thought is more related to the Easter season, but at any time during Christ’s trial, torture, and crucifixion He could have uttered a word or two and vanquished His tormentors. He “exercised love even to the moment of His last breath.  His last words, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do”, Luke 23:34.

Hate never solves anything, it only kills, steals, and destroys. John 10:10.

Christ’s and MLK Jr’s legacy has improved the lives millions and billions and stands the test of time. This because love prevails.  And where there is love there is Christ. And to finish John 10:10 I am come that they might have life and life more abundantly!

“Able” lyrics

 

Able

You're more than able

Ain't no problem that's too hard

For a strong and mighty God

 

Yes, You are able

You're more than able

Time and time again You prove

I can always count on You

 

Yes, You are able

Able

Ain't no problem that's too hard

For a strong and mighty God

 

You are Able

You're so much more than able

Time and time again, You prove

I can always count on You

 

You are faithful

More than faithful

A sweeter love that never stops

It will finish what it starts

 

You are faithful

More than faithful

And when I don't understand

I still leave it in Your hand

 

Help me sing, faithful

Faithful

A sweeter love that never stops

It will finish what it starts

 

I'm so glad You are faithful

Over and over again You are faithful

And when I don't understand

I still leave it in Your hand

 

So I am thankful

Lord, I'm so very thankful

For Your never-ending grace

And Your brand new mercies every day, I am

 

Thankful

Thankful

I'm in awe of what You've done

Many victories You've won

 

Thankful

Thankful

For Your never-ending grace

Brand new mercies every day

 

Thankful

Thankful

I'm in awe of what You've done

All the victories You've won

 

Thankful

Thankful

For Your never ending grace

Brand new mercies every day

 

Thankful

Thankful

I'm in awe of what You've done

All the victories You've won

 

Jesus

You're more than able

Ain't no problem that's too hard

For a strong and mighty God

 

Yes, You are able

You're more than able

Time and time again You prove

I can always count on You

Here is Your Mother

It is a Good Son-Day Indeed Mother's Day Menagerie Here is Your Mother I am blessed in so many ways to be surrounded so many wonderful women who have brought into the world exceptional human beings.  Thank God every day for the mothers who have impacted my life.  I know when I need them they will be there for me and they know I will reciprocate. As I continue the epic saga of post-resurrection Christ I would be remissed if I did not include presence at the cross and the acession of Christ.  Typical mother, always there for an extraordinary and exceptional anointed Savior she birth into this world. Take care of the women who are your biological, step, assumed, spiritual, in-law, in-lieu of physical mother. Christ, Mary his mother, Christ's disciple, and Christ's charge to His disciple. John 19:25-27 25 Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw His mother standing there beside the di...

Freely You Have Received, Freely Give

Good Son-day Morning!!! enjoying 70's Nothing But Good News here. Hanging with My Axe'd Freely You Have Received, Freely Give Many economists are predicting a recession is in the making.  Quick lesson, a recession is defined as two straight quarters of negative value of goods and services produced in the USA (GDP, Gross Domestic Product). Other indicators like employment rates, business investment, and consumer spending also are considered.  A recession causes hardships for almost everyone, especially those whose income is below the Federal Poverty Level (for an individual, $967/month, and a couple, $1,450/month). During the holidays, the public has a more heightened sense towards the needs of impoverished people.  For the other 10 months of the year, less so.  There is a serious struggle for food shelves, clothing resources, and shelters to meet the demands of impoverished people.  I have seen this in my visits to the many community resources in the metro...

Live Roses

 Good Son-Day - The Start of  Something New Ice Creameisters! Live Roses The day after Christmas, I got a call from a former co-worker I had connected with for about a year or so. I started the conversation by asking about her grandchild and two daughters. I proceeded to ask her how her husband was doing and got an unexpected quick but poignant answer: "Oh, he's doing fine; we're getting a divorce."  Wait, what! This couple was married for 30-plus years.  The husband is retired. Nice home in the burbs,  Both children are college grads.  Empty nesters. The American Dream. What happened? I did not pry.  The only thing she offered was, "One day, I was sitting at the dining room table.  He sat directly across from me.  I looked at him.  I said to myself I can't do this anymore. I knew then I needed to file for a divorce."   The  news sent me for a spin.  At first, I thought he must have cheated, or he spent too much time at hi...
