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

100% Vitiman C

The Orange Juice companies are brilliant. Why you may ask? Well let me
tell you, but first let me ask you a question. When you are beginning
to feel a little under the weather what is one of the first thoughts
you have? I need to get some Vitamin C, right? And then the next thought is well I need to get some OJ. Brilliant marketing isn't it. Not only, do you want to drink OJ in the morning with breakfast, but also you want to get it when you begin to get sick. Now, this is so genius, due to the fact that most other juices (apple, grape, cranberry peach) all have 100% Vit. C, but you never think about that when you get sick. The OJ companies have as my dad would say, "Pulled the wool over our eyes." Awesome! Good Job OJ companies! However, do know that you can drink most any juice if you are desiring to pump up the immune system. So pick you favorite and realize that some juices are not 100% juice, which not good and also realize that OJ has a ton of acid in it. So it might even be better to get something besides OJ, due to the fact if you do end up getting sick it is not fun to yak when you have whole bunch of acid in the belly.

Harry,

You never told me you had a blog! I had to find out from the blog roll of somebody else. I thought we were friends. Maybe we still are, but i'm going to have to think about it.

Thanks Jessie for your comments too! I love Jason Upton, his music has always brought me closer to the Father because it is full of worship and it is real. Jason is not trying to prove anything, he's just sitting in God's presence and waiting to minister and when he sings often it is like I can hear God singing through him to me. Have you heard the song "Samuel"? I have heard it so many times and it always calms me down and reminds me how Jesus loves me.
Anyway, keep writing, it is good to reflect on what God teaches you and it is good for others to be edified in your reflections.
May you be blessed!

Oh right, I was just in Ghana for 6 weeks on a mission trip working with something called the Rafiki Foundation which takes care of orphans and educates them. It was amazing! It was my first time in Africa and I loved it. Where were you when you visited the continent and what were you doing?
