Lead by prey.

Two elderly gentlemen while playing the game of chess in a community center notice two young people walking by, the young girl neatly/properly dress well manner spoke to them both, the young man pass by with his pants hanging low enough for his pockets to be worn as socks and his lips shaped like that of a horse shoe said nothing, one of the gentlemen told the other; I hope she's not his girl friend, the other smiling asked why?, he responded; that would be as a Shepard switching place with the sheep.

Shouldn't be allowed.

While shopping at this mall with her mother this young parent decided to stop at an area in the complex to get some orange juice, the young lady began to discuss the problems she was having in her home with her teenage daughter concerning being disrespectful and disobedient, her mom looking her in the eye responded; that juice you're drinking, do you think the owner of that stand would allow you to cross the counter and get it yourself."

Your work is not in vain.

Specifically speaking to those of you out there that are helping others, and your reason are proven to be that of genuine love, care, concern, you may or may not receive public recognition for what you've done and are doing, believe me; those that you've helped and are helping if not now one day will realize and think you greatly, I've been blessed to see some of those that's come through  my and coach Dawson's Barze (now decease) program as kids and young adults, now doing for others and their own kids as was done for them, some of these kids were caught up in the streets, mind-set that blinds one to his/her worth and potential, former drug user/dealers, school drop out, disrespectful and now professional and productive human beings. Again!; please continue your commitment and hard work through which God grants you honour and He receives the glory!.

Time of sorrows.

Those of us that are not sadden and alarmed by where we are today should be, reason being; we seem to be living in a time where young people hate themselves and others, resulting in senseless killing and all sort of sexual activity which has an attachment for deteriorating health and causing death, many of our young people living in a hopeless state, those that should be as a mirror reflecting to them what should be have fail them miserably, judges, police officers, politician and clergy (so called spiritual leaders) being exposed for been opposite of what's to be their intended statues and purpose, just think;, what kind of pressure it must be; being required to be and act a certain way when there's no model or base for duplicating, I truly believe we have enter into that predicted occurring; Time of sorrows.

Watching our world being torn in pieces.

Seriously!, anyone having two an a half seconds of sense can see the deterioration of this world/society, all of us could be in some way contributors; wither it be through apathy and or us being with out the ability or courage to step in where need be, and us not supporting those who have proven themselves effective in combating against this craziness, none of us are immune from the possibility for being in someway effected by today's rapid falling away from what's right and good, I believe the time has long come for us all to in some way bring about a way or join forces with those who are effectively combating against this madness.
