HOPE and VICTORY

If you have ever been deposed in a legal hearing then you probably know the intensity and the depth of questioning coming from the other side.  They want to know everything and don't mind asking personal questions that are meant to help them win their case in an actual court trial.  It can be chilling and startling at the same time.  But, in this deposition I asked that the question be framed so that I can try to answer.  This particular question asked "where are your written notes that pertain to all of your mental reflections and anything else that related to this case?" When I responded that I threw them away and besides, I didn't need any written notes for the acts that were committed against me.  Then I waxed poetic, "I lived the pain, I experienced the pain, and the events are, literally, written within the very bowels of my human existence.  The the trauma is so great that I can't sleep, eat, or work within the actual drama reappearing in my mind...

"The truth is staring you in the face" was the words sometimes used by my high school tennis coach as he opined on the difference between a winner and a loser.  The winner always takes the bull by the horns and, by any means necessary, finds a way to win. The loser does the opposite, he's always running from the truth. If indeed there is some value in the Biblical words stating that the "truth shall set you free" than maybe society should take note of the facts on the ground and start winning the divers battles that help to determine a fair and just society as oppose to one that perpetually pits the haves against the have-nots.   . . . when will a Christian nation   get their heads out of the ground   and began to face dire facts that can and should be corrected? . . . How can a truly Christian society proclaim freedom when so many of their inhabitants are 'clinging to life' in the land of opportunity? What are the facts? Well I m...

I t may be a bit taboo to suggest that bringing in the New Year is an annual festivity marking the transition from the previous year.  Most celebrations are habitual, if not reflexive, as most Americans are programmed to just participate in seemingly superficial rituals that often fail to recognize how the world has fully shifted. Based on the law of 'cause and effect' the shift just didn't start in 2011, but the shift has been going on for a awhile now.  Sure, why each has it's unique happening, like 2011 finding over 14 million people unemployed--and, staying unemployed or the colonial West soundly manifesting its colonial inclinations while toppling sovereign,weaker nations events like these make 2011 a very significant year.  Let's not forget the Middle East uprisings and the increased saber rattling that finds Israel consolidating its position of being on the ready to destroy anything that is interpreted as a threat to its apartheid state o...

The True Face of Savagery and Disgrace:  Whose responsible for this vicious killing of a  Head of State?

"Everything was going on as planned until one day the whole world shifted".  This is a proclamation many of us dare to make but the agent of inevitable change has crept in on a grand scale. The permanent ice in the arctic is now melting away which can be used as a euphemism for things thought permanent but are now passing away in many sectors of activity in American lives.  People like to think of the upheaval in the Middle East as an anomalous shift  that only happens in a million years, but the Middle East shifting sounds actually complements the profound changes taking place the word over. And, contrary to what people want to believe, it has nothing to do with democracy or the need for overthrowing a dictator, but more so to do with the effects of frightful anxiety.  People want change no matter what the outcome. However, even if they don't want change, the advent of necessary shifting, good or bad, is upon us. However, just like any addict w...
