Fayetteville police spokesperson Theresa Chance said the body of a child was located about 100 feet off the road. She said Shaniya Davis' family would be called on to make a positive identification, but detectives were waiting for the FBI and State Bureau of Investigation to finish work at the crime scene. The discovery wrapped up a search conducted by some 250 law enforcement officers and volunteers who used dogs, horses, and a helicopter to scour the woods after police got information about where to find the body.

This may be one of the few times I really want to curse!! I ask forgiveness if this blog gets a bit ugly, but I feel in my soul someone need to GO IMMEDIATELY TO HELL for this. I just don't understand how or why someone would give their child over for sex with grown a$$, rusty men. I don't understand why these same grown a$$ sorry men would desire sex with a child of 5. FORGET THE TRIALS, FORGET ALL THE MONEY TO TRY TO DEFEND THESE CREATURES, FORGET WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN JAIL; SOMEONE JUST GET SOME ROPE AND SEND THEIR A$$ES STRAIGHT TO HELL.

I cried when I heard she was found dead. I had prayed she would be alive. Maybe the bums had left her with someone. Maybe someone else had harbored her, but she was alive. My heart broke, it is still breaking for this little one. ARGHHHHH.

RIP little one. I know you are in heaven with the Father and no one can harm you anymore. You are in a better place than we are right now. I pray to meet you one day. I wish I had known you, could have been there to somehow protect you. Alot of people looked for you and even more cried and prayed for you. The world really missed out on an angel.

Addicted to Facebook!!

I know you all haven't seen me in awhile here. I am on Facebook!! I really, really am. It can be so addicting and I am chief addict...LOL. So if you miss me here then just follow the Facebook link on this page, add me as a friend and I will see you there. Not much is going on my way. Still busy with work and family. I went to see Judgement Night in Goldsboro last Friday night and took a group with me and it was awesome to say the least. Powerful play. Everyone who has an unsaved relative should drag them kicking and screaming to see it. There is going to be a judgement and we must determine how we will face that day or night. I left with a strong reminder of just how vast and majestic and powerful God is compared to me. Even when I think I am feeling strong and in control, it is weak and foolishness to Him. How great is His mercy and grace! Things I had given up on, I am strongly reminded that He is not a man that He should lie nor the Son of man that He should repent. I have to echo to my own self that His words will not return void and He will do what He says He will do. In the meantime, who are we, who am I, to doubt Him and run with my own thoughts and my own mind. Remember He said "Let this mind be in you"! Why? Because there is no way of having the mind of Christ, and when He shows us something or teaches us His way we have to be obedient to a point of having a right mindset. Phew!!
Didn't mean to preach this time just got carried away for a moment.
Anyway, I will try hard to update some on this page. Right now the hot news of the day is the prisioners getting released next week. Since I am in the field I am in, I feel for those men and women. Think how society has changed and the statics of going back. That and where do they go? No homeless shelters want them, I know. At the same time I agree that we can't just change the laws at will and keep them in. By NC laws of that day, they have done their time. So that is a hot button item. I will try to post more on that too. If you want to know who is being released then go to WRAL website and there is a listing and photos.

A 55 in a 35

Ok, this is my last, absolute last, rant about the traffic ticket I got. I mean, really I was speeding, I was disobeying NC traffic laws and I should have gotten the ticket. I readily admit that. So why am I still fuming after being stopped several hours ago? Well it is just the thought of having to pay the state and especially this county fees and fines. The officer was nice and he did reduce the ticket for me and I don't even have to go to court, just pay the fines and fees. Yeah that is like $200.00 and maybe that is why I am fuming. I don't know. Its like when you are caught and you know you are wrong but you don't want to face the consequences for it. That is how I am feeling. So I am going to just finish this blog and then let it go and pay the fines and fees. Learn from my lesson don't go through downtown "anywhere" doing 55 no matter how big of a hurry you are in. Especially in Smithfield, NC.

African American are not the ones leading the welfare roles!

I was on a website recently (today) and some ignorant white girl made an ignorant comment. She said something akin to "we should sit on our a$$ and collect welfare like our colored counterpart does." Well I started to comment to her but I refuse to address ignorance as it does little good to educate. In causes arguments and discontent as you really can't take an ignorant person and make them smart. So I decided to just blog it and make it available to who ever dares to read it. I don't know where this person lives but blacks are out in full force in the workplace. I don't walk into many businesses and not find several black men and women working. Long gone is the "token" black. You know that "one" to make things look good. Blacks are taking commanding roles and are valuable to any industry or business venture. I, myself, am in a management position and most of the "business" people I deal with on a daily basis are black. Still, let me debunk the myth that caused me to post this. Blacks on the welfare roles. I checked some statistics and here is what I found. A google search will give you the same results.

Myth: People on welfare are usually black, teenage mothers who stay on ten years at a time.

Fact: Most welfare recipients are non-black, adult and on welfare less than two years at a time.

According to the statistics, whites form the largest racial group on welfare; half of all welfare recipients leave in the first two years; and teenagers form less than 8 percent of all welfare mothers.

Blacks comprise only 12 percent of the nation, but, according to the above figures, they comprise 37 percent of the welfare rolls. This should not be surprising; in 1994, blacks had a poverty rate of 33 percent. We should not, of course, think it unusual to find poor people on welfare. Consequently, discussions of race and welfare must turn on different issues.

For those who want to do their own research, here is a good starting point:
http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-welfareblack.htm

Now simple math (let go with simple because ratios and medians and averages maybe too complicated to small minds) says that if blacks only comprise 37 percent of the welfare roles then...duh...63percent must be NON BLACK.

I knew there was still some ignorance in the world but please don't go opening your mouth spewing it so others know without doubt just how ignorant you are. Quit using race as a reason to hate a black president. You would look better just to say you dislike him based on race than to keep trying to put blacks and other groups down to disguise your racism. Your sheets are showing plain and simple.

This is just the most sickening thing I have heard in a long long time.

Mackenzie Phillips, the eldest daughter of the late John Phillips, frontman of the Mamas and the Papas, says her father raped her and that they later carried on a consensual incestuous relationship

Yes that is right, in case you haven't heard, Mackenzie Phillips the former child star of One Day At A Time came forth on Oprah saying first her famous father raped and it then turned into a consentual sexual relationship that lasted a decade!! She said she is coming forth because she knows she is not the only one this is happening to or has happened to.
My mind is going crazy!!! How can anyone consent to sex with their father? There is no amount of alcohol or drugs that could make me want to do that. Give me a truck load of booze, a ton of any drugs and at the end of it all I would NOT want to have sex with my own dad!!!
Yet, unless one is in the situation it is hard to pass judgement so in all fairness to her I will say that: I believe her, and I feel sorry it had to happen to her. If in fact what she feels is correct (not being the only one) then she is doing a brave thing to put a face to it and come forth.
Its still sick tho.

 

On my way out the door for church. I am giving the message I posted last night. I tell you the truth...this is a powerful word for me. If you have a vision or dream in your heart from God, take the time to read and study this Word. It is a Word in due season. I pray you are blessed and favored today. May God's light shine upon you.

I am NOT a grasshopper, neither are you

I will be ministering this sermon this Sunday and thought I would give all of you a preview. In Numbers 13 Moses chose his top leaders to go and spy out the promise land. This was a pivotal moment for the Hebrews as they were just a few miles from the promise land and it was at this junction that Moses hoped to enter it. His hopes would be dashed by the leaders. The 12 was gone for 40 days and returned with the report that "we seem as grasshoppers to ourselves and thus must look that way to them, they are giants" (my version). Only two, Joseph and Caleb said "we can take them, lets go immediately" (my version again). What is astonishing is that the top leaders who should have demonstrated great faith discouraged themselves and also the Hebrews. Needless to say they all became doomed to wander in the wilderness for 40 years and none of them except Joseph and Caleb ever saw the promise land.
There is going to be a time (it might be now) where your faith will be challenged. The enemy of your soul will no doubt show you all the "giants" around you. You will hear from the naysayers, you will feel you are not capable, not qualified, barriers in the way and that call of God is questioned because you see your own lack! How you will end up on the other side of your faith will depend on your attitude and answer to God. Will you tell him how inadequate you are? Will you trust God as you remember all the things He has done thus far? Will you teeter on the edge of victory for 40 years?
I challenge you to dive into this story and learn a fast lesson. Remember your faith can be as small as a mustard seed to move a mountain! But what will your attitude be? I asked myself this question with several things I am facing and my answer was and remains: I am NOT a grasshopper. I am more than a conquer, I can do ALL things thru Christ who strengthens me!!

Patrick Swayze Has Died

Patrick Swayze has died after a nearly two-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

Swayze's publicist Annett Wolf says the 57-year-old "Dirty Dancing" actor died Monday with family at his side. He came forward about his illness last spring, but continued working as he underwent treatments.

I actually liked his acting and he died so young. RIP Patrick!

I wrote this for a blog shortly after 9-11 and am reposting today in memory.

***I actually wrote this blog a few weeks after 9-11 and thought I would repost it this morning in memory of those who have suffered not only on that day but are still suffering with the war and the after effects. I continue to pray for those who lost family and dear friends. I also still cast a jaundice eye at former president Bush and that administration.

I wanted to take this time to express my heartfelt sorrow for those lost on 911.
I have a son born on this day and so as we celebrate his birthday and life, it is easy to forget that so many lost lives on this day. I assure you those in my family remembers this day as a day when America got a wake up call.
It is not strange to know and see hate in the world. Many are hated for race, creed, national orgin and other things that we think defines a person. Then there are small ways that hate runs rampet. Such as education, social classes, health care, schools etc.
America has had its own share of innocence blood being shed because of hate. And on Sept. 11,2001 someone decided to show America hate.
The one thing that arose out of the ashes was a commitment to Jesus or to a God. People wanted to pray with each other as never before. No one wanted to hate their neighbor that day in time. But I read somewhere since then that most of those shared moments have faded. I sure pray not.
I want to extend a plea to the family and friends of those who perished in 911 to remember that your loved ones did not die in vain. To extend to them a time to show love and prayer to a nation that needs it...America. I want to ask you to extend to your neighbors, co-workers and family the 'dream' of equality and love. As I extend this ministry and a personal prayer to you, please reach out to others in the same manner.

You Lie!!

Democrats and Republicans alike are denouncing Rep. Joe Wilson for shouting "You lie" at President Barack Obama during his speech to Congress, an extraordinary breach of decorum for which the South Carolina Republican swiftly apologized.

I could really jump all over this like flies on (you know what) but I will use a bit more decorum unlike Joe Wilson. Joe, wtf!!! WTF!!! Are you so embittered at this black man that he has caused you to lose all you *cough* "decorum?" I dare say you would not have or have ever done this to your white counterpart. I am shocked and disappointed that a member of congress would show such lack of tack and racism and yes it is racism. You are part of an institution that just has to rear its ugly head and you have brought it all the way to the congress. Well, get over yourself buddy, the TRUTH is every politician LIES and that includes you. You can be thankful no one has shouted it out to you on the floor. I am all for healthcare reform and I am backing President Obama on this one. I wish he would pay you naysayers no mind and quit for God sake trying to get you all to agree with him and like him. Let this be yet another glaring example to him that "they don't like you".
