Dear All One Family:
The above link is a beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace...you will have missed a lot if you don't hear it.
Also please note to those that don't like the word expression Negro mentioned in the introduction...Negro means, black...it isn't the same word as the slang "N" word, for the slang indicates lack of worth, value/and or absence of respect for the person any rainbow colored, (for remember we are all rainbow colored...for even white is in the rainbow colors as well) being called the slang version.
Negro to me is a term that fit the world at the time that it was written...it obviously is not a real way to view the world today.
Although I believe that it is a beautiful song, and he has a beautiful voice, I must admit that we must be careful of reverse prejudices...meaning, I have personally discovered in my thus far soul journey of this life time; those that are still stuck in what they experienced in their own life and that of their family both past and current and thus are prejudiced towards those of the lighter rainbow skin tone types.
That as well, must also stop. If we are to have any kind of balanced life in America. The elected into highest level of the land office, one that is a African America, should show to all that yesterday is over and today is the first day of a life that God would have us a living...
In other words, to reach balance point, we all must participate in a good way...putting aside yesterday to reach today...for yesterday will hold one back from today if they allow it. "Free choice." you know?
I say this because I have heard too many lighter rainbow skin tone fellow beings state that, "they are tired of listening to the black man and woman, acting as if I or my family had done them an injustice and they need to get over for that happened to their grandparents...and they had nothing to do with it."
One thing that I have discovered in this life's journey of mine; is that as long as one is holding on to baggage of the past, they can't see the actual moment that Eckhart Tolle writes about...in all of his wonderful books, that I have read.
I am not sure if he coined one of my favorite sayings or not, (avid book reader and career student)...I only know that when I heard it, it has never left my sacred conscious space of viewing.
Others that I have given these precious thoughts, have also agreed that it affected them the same way. I want to see how it could impact your world as well.
Thoughts
"As long as one is stuck in yesterday, one can't see the present moment, and there is where everything is a happening."
Which equates to me this mind set-perceptive visual. As long as one has a mental-foot in the past, or a mental-foot in the future, they are a missing the current moment, and by stepping into the current moment, where everything is a happening; you have arrived right on time.
I believe that the writing of the racist graffiti in a free expression area of a local university the day after election day, stating; "kill Obama," "Black House," was not a grand way to express ourselves...simply because I believe alleging harm to another, is not God's way.
I say this because of my understanding of Quantum Physics that stipulates that, "for every action, there is a reaction."
Should these kids be expelled from college?
I vote no...for they couldn't help all the fear this past presidential election left them with.
They are guilty of becoming the energy that surrounded them...perhaps school in combination with home, family and friends influences and their interpretation of the news.
Were I to be representing these four fear laden kids, I would ask for perhaps a year of community services and perhaps a 500 word essay on their thoughts as to why they felt that it was their right to express themselves in such a manner.
I feel that by doing this, the school/community wins for as Dr. Phil would state, "you can't change it unless you first acknowledge it." The kids involved wins for they will be able to see how their "grass root thoughts," has kept them back from obtaining all their God given rights, and United States Constitution Rights affords them...
When I call someone a racist-prejudiced...I am merely stating that if you don't take both sides of an issue into serious consideration before making a valued judgment, and voted strictly due to skin tone, you might have fallen into this category.
You might have been political party prejudiced, if you voted like you always do and gave neither too much time or consideration to look further into both candidates...and judged merely by appearance sake alone...no in depth look...for you voted like you have always been told to vote...
I call that political party stymied.
I believe that the next time that I hit the driver's license renewal period, I will state that I am an Independent...especially being I have taken so much heat for the Democratic Party and I really am for the right person...not the right party for I have seen errors in both parties candidates for years!
The last two election periods, I voted for Republican candidates. This past election process I voted proudly Democratic.
I didn't vote for him strictly due to his rainbow color...I voted for him because he spoke to the heart of Joe Grass Roots, as well as the wealthy that were a really a paying attention...to the issues...plain and simple...economy, jobs, wars, taxes, health care, education...and on and on and on...
I didn't get a chance to finish my correspondence to Rob Schenck...this time around...perhaps the next posting I will be able to focus on its completion. I have lots to say still...so please be patient with me.
If nothing else you will go away with a better picture of how I think and why...some of it you will like I believe and some perhaps not too much...
In closing, I would like for you to view this next email posting piece. I don't know who the author is...I wish that we all could have authored it...yet I am a practical person and know that we are all able to focus on whatever we choose to and being God was kicked out of the schools and government...forty years ago.
So to believe that God would have been present at this school, when this happened to those four students, moment of free speech...is highly unlikely...unless their religion that they carry within themselves...where ever they go...contains no "Golden Rule," concepts of; "Do unto others, that which you would have done unto yourself."
Be Blessed

Love, Light and Peace

The Necklace
"The cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them, a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box.
'Oh mommy please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please?'
Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl's upturned face.
'A dollar ninety-five. That's almost $2.00. If you really want them, I'll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself. Your birthday's only a week away and you might get another crisp dollar bill from Grandma.'
As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny bank and counted out 17 pennies. After dinner, she did more than her share of chores and she went to the neighbor and asked Mrs. McJames if she could pick dandelions for ten cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace.
Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere, Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed. The only time she took them off was when she went swimming or had a bubble bath. Mother said if they got wet, they might turn her neck green.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night as he finished the story, he asked Jenny, 'Do you love me?'
'Oh yes, daddy. You know that I love you.'
'Then give me your pearls.'
'Oh, daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess, the white horse from my collection, the one with the pink tail. Remember, daddy? The one you gave me. She's my very favorite.'
'That's okay, Honey, daddy loves you. Good night.' And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
About a week later, after the story time, Jenny's daddy asked again, 'Do you love me?'
'Daddy, you know I love you.'
'Then give me your pearls.'
'Oh Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my baby doll. The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is beautiful and you can have the yellow blanket that matches her sleeper.'
'That's okay. Sleep well. God bless you, little one. Daddy loves you.'
And as always, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.
A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed Indian style.
As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek.
'What is it, Jenny? What's the matter?'
Jenny didn't say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little pearl necklace. With a little quiver, she finally said, 'Here, daddy; this is for you.'
With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny's daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime store necklace, and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny.
He had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the genuine treasure. So it is, with our Heavenly Father. He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that he can give us beautiful treasures.
God will never take away something without giving you something better in its place."
