Daytona Countdown
Speed, 200 M.P.H.
Valentine’s Day, too.
I wish there was a way to say, it’s easier to live ONE DAY at a TIME. But, the real world keeps getting in the way. I want to make everybody all better.
Give the kid’s the remote, keep’em fed, clean and happy.
It really isn’t too difficult, and making it easier for others is the hard part.
God grant me the SERENITY to
accept the things I cannot change
COURAGE to change the things I can
and WISDOM to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things
right if I surrender to His Will
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen
Breathe In the good, and Out the bad – “OM”
The money talk is coming soon…

What a difference a year makes?
2009 - Sovereign Bank sponsored the MLK PAL Read-In, and to be honest it was a very celebratory atomosphere!!! Barack Obama would be inaugurated in a few days, and there was Coffee and Donuts for all the volunteers. Plus everybody got a SIGN to carry :-)
2010 - NO PARTY :-( Every ADULT had the vibe of, I guess I will do this for the EXTRA CREDIT - EVEN if I have to, blah, blah, blah,.... No coffee, no donuts, no campaign slogans. Our sponsors this year were Chick-fil-a and Clover Farms, and we all know what was for lunch, eh?
If I twittered this event it woulda went like this --
Jeff Palmer, Chairman of the Board for Olivets...
Introduced the JROTC, Pledge to the Flag
Introduced Dr. Jim Smith, COO of the Olivets

The Civil Rights movement began with the repeal of the 13th Amendment

In 1896, the Supreme Court Plessy v Ferguson (sic) declared "Separate but Equal"
1950-60's Dr. MLK Jr. his "Words"
1954 - Brown v Board of Education was 6 months before Rosa Parks
1957 - Little Rock, Arkansas access to White HS, it was determined schools were not equal.
1963 - The March on Washington, DC

The "I have a dream" speech - read by a different Dr. Smith
WORDS to look-up:
1963 (Negro as an appropriate term like African American)
Five Score - 100 Years, Abe Lincoln's Dream
Manacles
Exiled
Gradualism
Cup of Bitterness
Soul Force
Cannot turn back
When will we be satisfied?
Go back to your homes...
Because, I have a dream...
We will sing from the mountain tops...
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of Liberty...
-----
Dr. Joseph Amprey - final speaker
Thanked the Children, well-behaved
Love yourself.
Arrogance is only a COVER-UP
Be, Bi-lingual
Old eagle parable
The young eagle that was raised by chickens,
and THEN thrown off a cliff.

HEARING is an important element in our lives. I can hear the Word of GOD.
As I type more thoughts flow, but it takes coordination to reach the keys effectively.
@ 20WPM, there is a strong possibility I could get to 100 words in a mere 5 minutes.
Yet, I just heard the other day that listening is NOT HEARING? WTF???
Listening --- ONLY takes the minimalist point of view (POV), and it narrows your PERSPECTIVE.
Plus, the words used in Hebrew to HEAR means to OBEY!
Nice to KNOW!

Knowing this story was probably true, I used snopes, just to be safe.
PRETTY CRAZY story, not too nice for the kiddies to see, but neither was "FULL METAL JACKET"
I still Pray for peace! But, I also have a one-finger salute picture from c. 1979, http://blog.esidra.com/hey-iran.jpg AND somehow I think it keeps it all in perspective. Fighting the GOOD FIGHT (Everyday) is the hardest thing for a MAN to do.
That's some heavy shit for a Tuesday Morning.
So, I am going back to bed.
