He told his dad about how his agent was meeting with some movie producers concerning his life's story. His agent was told that the story would be great but that there was one problem. The promoters seem to think that the part of his life should be played by a Caucasian actor. When asked on his behalf why should that be when the story was about his accomplishments. The agent was told Africian- Americians just aren't seen in that light. His father looked at him with this unsettling stare and he said dad what's the problem? He said , dad you don't think I would agree to that do you? His father replied; son if I thought you whould have even contemplated on that, I would have had your mother standing right next to me while you were being given a blood test.

Based on a true story.

Am I in someway responsible for this?

This is a time in which unmoral living is accepted as being the norm. Children are left to care for themselves, resulting in animosity toward instruction and discipline. Laws ban adults from correcting their own children through discipline. Persons are in positions of authority that truly shouldn't be there, as made evident by their inactiveness and disregard for equity. Laws have been broken even by those who penned them. More emphasis is seemingly put on tearing down than building up. Am I somehow responsible for this?

A very well-raised young lady was having tea with her grandmother. The day was nice and cool as they sat on the porch swing. The young lady said to her grandmother, "There has to be a way to stop the madness of today." Her grandmother replied, "All that is needed is courage from those that retain the knowledge of right from wrong." The young lady asked, "Grandma, but how?" Grandma replied, "Baby! They need to get in the fight to change this downward spiral toward total disregard for God's instructional pattern for life. To beat the forces that they are going to come against, all that's needed is the courage to fight."

Why doesn't it bother us?

We are in a time of time of blatant disregard for moral living; laws are being broken by children as young as 12 years old. Families are in disarray- why doesn't it bother us? Children are allowed to roam the street at all hours through the night. Could it be that Darwin was right? There must have been a lot of big bangs! Because adults don't seem to be any where around accept for when there is a tragedy.

Different kind of kid...

A certain little girl had recently moved from a quiet school in a little country town to an inner-city high school. Her new English teacher noticed that there was another little girl that was always saying bad things to her, and talking bad about her to other students. But the thing that puzzled the teacher most was how the new student would just listen and gently smile when under these attacks. One day after class the teacher asked the little girl to stay behind a few moments. The teacher asked her, “How are you able to maintain yourself so respectfully while being under what seems to be constant verbal attack from the other students?” She replied, “My grandmother told me that when other people don't have anything to say about themselves, they are afraid of losing their voice, so they begin to talk about other people. So, it's good she doesn't have to be afraid.”
