It is a blessing to be here on this beautiful winter day God has made. We are a people subdued & sometimes even consumed by the nightmare in the madness & chaos of everyday life. I woke from my slumber the other day & when I stopped walking to look all around me as far as the eyes could see. I then began to sink in the waves as I was overwhelmed with great sadness & filled with anxiety. All that I witnessed presented before me as fact I believed; the painful truth of reality. On the exterior of the deep grief suffered individually I noticed that there are some who are grateful while so many others take for granted the freedoms we have. We have become content with the mediocrity of the world. We can be complacent having a little money, fancy cars, jewelry, nice clothes, expensive shoes or a big house but none of these adds any measure of content to our character.<\/p>\n

We are a generation sheltered from the horrors of malice, discrimination & hatred that our forefathers & mothers endured. We are not foreigners of oppression or the struggle it’s why we have sustained in this recession & have survived during these hard times. It’s not easy but all things are possible by the grace of God & by his hands we we’re created; born a forbearing & resilient breed. May we not be overcome obliviously in ignorance, selfishness nor fear or the face of evil that has victimized & destroyed our communities, our way of life and our culture. To preserve a future for our children we must move forward with unity, dignity & passion in ALL that we do to continue achieving our dreams. Today we honor one of the greatest leaders who believed in the actions of nonviolence, the power of the people & the faith in a dream.<\/p>\n

I want to wish Dr. Martin Luther King a Happy Birthday & may your soul forever rest in peace. I also want to thank Coretta Scott King, the King family & the masses of Civil Rights activist for their sense of civil duty, all of the courageous contributions & sacrifices of humanity to society. It is because of one man’s dream that we today have inherited the rewards of that dream & are able to redeem the check promised to it’s people declaring that all men were created equal. It is the reason that we had a black president speaking to a nation & the world today.<\/p>\n

The power is indeed within we the people & it is up to us to acclaim the liberation deposited many years ago on the account due. May we not look upon one another with indifference & separation but as brothers & sisters with the common interest of fairness, prosperity & happiness. One nation under God, indivisible with justice for all! Together we rise divided we fall.<\/p>\n

I feel as though my time here \u00a0may be short & that I won’t be with you much longer however the good Lord still has a little work to do through me to be made complete. So he has sent me to deliver a message to his people, labor the fields, to plant, water & to serve my brothers, sisters, neighbors & strangers. I have a dream & I know we will get there; to paradise that is; with hard work, determination & perseverance. The reverence & glory of Jesus Christ shall be revealed to those who hold to the faith. I hope to make it with you but if I don’t step through with you side by side & hand in hand then I will be with arms wide open ready to greet you when you arrive & I’ll see you there.<\/p>\n

John 14:12<\/p>\n

12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
