My Boss Prayed With Me Today!

I can’t recall ever joining with any of my bosses for prayer since I started working at an early age but I did today. We all know that the devil is seeking to steal our joy, well, he tried to steal mine. I was in a great mood this morning but heard some unsettling news about how a co-worker was being treated. I could feel the negative reaction coming and decided that I will not give the devil the benefit of taking mine. My boss is a spiritual person, one who doesn’t mind praising God in front of people and admitting that Christ is his Lord and Savior. So, I went to him and asked that he pray for me because I was under attack. Without hesitation, he stood, bowed his head, and led us in pray. This may sound corny to some of you but to me, that burden of negativity was lifted. Prayer is more powerful than we think and I believe that without it, many more of us would be left for the buzzards. I appreciate what my boss did, because he didn’t have to do it. Real Christians are like that, they know that God is in control and will fight the enemy whenever and wherever it rears it head.  Remember: We pray for each other always.

The More Things Change, The More They Remain The Same!

Why is there such a major problem to the GOPers that we lost the election? It doesn’t seem that hard to understand to me. The party did not accept the fact that they did not care about the real facts. They are simply exclusive and did not seek the minority or women vote and appeared to care less. They wanted more white men and use their ace in the hole, voter suppression. Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and company seemed to tell our representatives what to do instead of truly representing all Americans. Grover Norquist put the party politicians in jeopardy by having them take an oath not to raise taxes. Karl Rove could not pull a Lee Atwater even with the millions of dollars contributed towards the campaign. The billionaires could not buy this election even though these folks have been used to buying and getting what they want with the money they are blessed with. But no one will accept the blame instead point their fingers and make excuses. The majorities of Americans are tired of this foolishness and want to move forward. Foolishness will outlive you. Top GOP leaders were proud to make this President a one term President. The divisiveness within the country went as far back as the OJ trials where the media pushed for racial polarity. Lies from both sides smeared this election but some were just unbelievable and the American people did not accept it. The irony that I saw was the audacity used by GOPers to say that minorities are voting for the President because he is black. Although many white people voted for Romney because he is white. But that was okay, for them. Another difference that I saw was Romney was selling snake oil, we were suppose to buy it but not test it until he was in office then we would see the actual effects. And we were supposed to trust him? Most people buy things because they know what they are getting and trust an informative salesperson. As a former CEO, he would know this. But after this election, the hate tweets and comments cried out. Trump wants a revolution, some Ole Miss students rioting, Ted Nugent and Chuck Norris declaring the end of America is at hand. What are these people thinking? What parallel universe are they living in? They don’t even live around us regular people. I found the above map browsing the news. I need to take a break from this stuff. The good news is that there are a lot of good people out here. It’s time the media acknowledge the good that Americans are doing instead of making money off of the bad news.

Happy Veterans Day!

Your Setback Is A Setup For A Comeback!

Congratulations, Mr. President and America!

The Winner Is The Nation!

President Barack Obama was re-elected despite the disrespect and obstacles set before him.  The obstinate neocons determined that they would make this President a one term President was undermined by the American people who voted for continuation of the program President Obama started.  The economy is on the way up and I wonder who would take the credit for it.  This is also such a sad time that America has to face the reality that racism is alive and well.  Please don’t patronize me by saying that you have a problem with his policies.  And don’t use Rush, Glenn, or Shawn biased words.  I will give you an example why I used racism.  A fellow of a different appearance that works in the same building that I work in would always in passing speak to me throughout the year.  It was always a polite greeting.  But this morning, he walked right by me as if I didn’t exist.  No, I did not speak out and there is no excuse.  I wanted to analyze the situation.  He did not know what political affiliation that I belonged to.  Most of my co-workers and friends know that I’ve been a Republican for 40 years.  But what I saw was an angry white man who looked at my color and assumed that because I am Black, I must be a Democrat and voted for the four more years for the President.  He’s partially correct, I did vote for the President but not because he is Black or biracial.  I voted for him because he has been consistent throughout his campaign.  Governor Romney never defined to me what he was going to do for the middle class.  We heard his various speeches appealing to different groups people.  He was like a chameleon as far as I was concerned.  Romney was selling me something but he wasn’t showing me anything.  What these extreme political pundits have done is succeeding to polarize this great nation.  They don’t really love this country as a whole.  They love the benefits of getting wealthy off the hatemongers.  The GOP has forgotten the people who are suffering because of social and economic issues.   Look around you.  Nooses around this man’s effigies, blatant phrases of “need more angry white men”, and white people are now the minority.  Ole Miss even had a riot protesting the presidential results.  What do we want for the citizens of America?  We can buy more guns and they can still wind up in the wrong hands.  We can still continue drinking from the poison well of negative voices and still fake that we are Christians.  Or we can return to the most important commandments that Christ said: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.  Matthew 22:37-40.

The Day Before Election!!!

I wanted you to remember that we all still have the right to vote!  Exercise that privilege tomorrow because one way or another, our nation will change!
