Quote of the...

" [speaking of slavery] I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or to speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; – but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest – I will not equivocate – I will not excuse – I will not retreat a single inch – AND I WILL BE HEARD. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead."

– William Lloyd Garrison, “To the Public,” from the Inaugural Editorial in the 1 January 1831 The Liberator

Here Life Goes

I am probably after my long leave of absence writing to myself, but who knows who could stumble on this here blog. I do not have anything to write about presently, but I thought I would put a little bloop on the screen. Here is a quick glance into my life: I am now married to Niki Cheri Harris (I still call her fullbright sometime, which is her maiden name) and I love being married. I am attending one of our training schools at Antioch called Elevate and it is awesome. I just got back from Virignia, for my sister-in-law, Christi-Anna, just had their first baby. It is now official, I am Uncle Jessie. Life is moving at the speed of light it seems like and I am just trying to hang on. In my spiritual life, I feel like my eyes are still dull, my ears are clogged, and my confidence is shot, but my spirit man, is showing signs of life. Thank you Jesus, the giver of life. Have a good night, I intend to, peace.
