                                                         Is This a Joke?








The Presidential election of 2016 has been lowered to joke status as far as I'm concerned. Case in point : Hilary Clinton will probably pay for some of the sins of her husband, former President Bill Clinton in the African -American community. While in office, he made economic upheaval even    more tough for us when he started NAFTA(the North America Free Trade Agreement)  which ultimately sent thousands upon thousands of jobs to other countries, along with "welfare reform "   and the three strikes law; all of which were detrimental to the Black community. As a matter of facts, we were impacted the most out of all ethnic groups. I don't know if African- Americans will remember this when going to the polls, but I know I will.
 On the other hand there's Donald Trump. He, is the most arrogant and ignorant Presidential candidate I have ever seen in my entire life. He is way out of touch with the common man; serious it's incomprehensible. He is totally oblivious to the problems which Middle America faces; and his only "cure" is negotiating; which as a business man is all he knows. Even I know that being President require a certain amount of skills i.e. ability to function under pressure, tactfulness, temperment and the like. He doesn't have any of these imperative qualities which should be required in a President. Last but not least, America can't afford to have an idiot squared to have his hands (small hands) on the Nuclear Code.
With  that being said, we are in crisis-mode with our two Presidential nominees. Although I'll vote for Clinton, I'm almost sure it'll be Bill who's running the country....again.

            Black Men: Targets of Murder








The latest news story that's captured my attention is the fiasco in Charlotte, North Carolina.
I find it fascinating that the Country hasn't put together this overwhelming plot in killing Black men.
This of course is my theory. I have never seen or heard  at any time in my life where police have declared war on Black men like I do right now.
If it were because of the trend in younger Black men wearing their pants off their posteria, I'd say they were offended because of the rebellion that's suggested with this attire. That's not it. If that were it, then only men of a certain age would be targeted. Instead, we see men of all different age groups in the Black community all over the country being prayed upon by the police. I find this not to be a co-incident.
As a mother of two sons, it scares me intensely.
In Chicago we have mostly Black on Black crime. That too is frightening. With the situation being as it is, Black men faces a double threat. There's the thugs in the street and the trigger-happy police in the bushes.
I do feel that Mayor Emanuel has made the right decision to hire more police officers and to have them undergo sensitivity training.
The female officer in Charlotte who killed an unarmed Black guy was clearly a product of White Society who was drenched with fear and without a doubt had no business being on the police force.
I hope that things will get better for us all. After all, it's not just the victims of gun violence who suffer, it's also their families.

This image is quite marvelous. It is a picture of a Tennessee Hibiscus or better known as the Passion flower that's in bloom. I  have  two different shades of the flower. One is in color and the other in black and white for ambiance. I have always been a lover of flowers; particularly exotic one. This flower is grown in the state of Tennessee, and is the state flower.It was adopted in 2012, and is the second of its state flowers. The other is the Iris adopted in 1933.   

Sunday Church Services Church was as usual….Inspiring. The pastor spoke about leadership in his text and the “call’ to service. I think everyone there received the message and I hope is willing to find their place of service to their community and also in their homes.

Christ The King Slideshow

My Favorite Website

My most favorite website to ponder is.WKKC FM.  It's my favorite because I'm affiliated with the
station here at Kennedy-King College.
I am one of the morning personalities. It's part of my reinventing myself. I have begun a whole new journey in my life; and this time it's all about me.
It's fascinating to be a part of this wonderful institution and to reach an audience through praise and worship. WKKC really is more than just music.
Most of my audience are fifty and over. The geriatric crowd are my biggest fans. I suppose since most of their lives are behind them, they find joy in knowing that death is not the end and only the beginning.
My audience also find it refreshing to wake up to inspiration. I feel sometimes like a  motivational speaker when front-selling and back-selling songs. It feels real good to wear the title of motivational speaker as well.
It all works well with my assignment as an Evangelist and servant.

I am a Southern girl who has spent her whole life in the church. I have strong conservative values but am a loyal Democrat.My conservative values are directly from being raised in the church and believing that GOD is my Director and my Source. 

I am also an ordained Evangelist and have a nursing-home ministry. I have had this special assignment since two-thousand-nine.

I also have an Autistic son and have volunteered my time and given speeches on behalf of Easterseals and their program for Autism.

I want to blog about Christianity because it's rooted in my soul and Jesus is the author and finisher of my faith.
