  • Free

    and She called...
    Blacks, Whites...wait
    African Americans and Caucasians, Asians, excuse me.
    Vietnamese, Philipenes, Koreans and Jamaicans or
    Haitans, waitin' Hispanics y'all.

    Please be paitent
    Mexican, Puerto Ricans, Venezualean, Cuban, Dominican, Panamanian Democrats
    I beg your pardon, you partied with the late, great Reagan?
    Republican, Independent, Christian, Catholic,
    Methodist, Baptist, 7th Day Adventist, 5 Percenters,
    Hindu, Sunii Muslim, Brothers and Sisters who never seen the New York city
    skyline when the twin towers still existed.
    But still She called.

    From the bowels of Ground Zero she sent this 911 distress signal.
    Because She was in desperate need of a hero,
    and didn't have time to decipher what to call 'em,
    so she called 'em all Her children.
    The children of the stars and bars who needed to know nothing more than the fact that she called.
    The fact that someone attempted to harm us
    this daughter who covered us all with her loving arms.
    And now these arms are sprawled across New York City streets.
    A smoke filled lung, a silt covered faced,
    and a solitary tear poured out of her cheek.
    Her singed garments carpets Pennsylvania Avenue and the Pentagon was under her feet.
    As she began to talk, she began to cough up small particles of debris
    and said, "I am America, and I'm calling on the land of the free."
    So they answered.

    All personal differences set to the side
    because right now there was no time to decide which state building the Confederate flag should fly over,
    and which trimester the embryo is considered alive,
    or on our monetary units, and which God we should confide.
    You see, someone attempted to choke the voice
    of the one who gave us the right for choice,
    and now she was callin.
    And somebody had to answer.
    Who was going to answer?

    So they did.
    Stern faces and chisled chins.
    Devoted women and disciplined men,
    who rose from the ashes like a pheonix
    and said "don't worry, we'll stand in your defense."
    They tightened up their bootlaces
    and said goodbye to loved ones, family and friends.
    They tried to bombard them with the "hold on", "wait-a-minute's", and "what-if's".
    And "Daddy, where you goin?".
    And, "Mommy, why you leavin?".
    And they merely kissed them on their foreheads and said "Don't worry, I have my reasons.
    You see, to this country I pledged my allegience
    to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic.
    So as long as I'm breathin, I'll run though hell-fire,
    meet the enemy on the front lines,
    look him directly in his face,
    stare directly in his eyes and scream,
    "I AM AMERICA! WE WILL NOT BE TERRORIZED!
    WE WILL NOT BE TERRORIZED!
    I REFUSE TO BE AFRAID!
    I'LL FIGHT YOU ANY COUNTRY, ANY CONTINENT, ANY TERRAIN.
    I'LL FIGHT TO MY LAST BREATH!"

    And if by chance death is my fate,
    pin my medals upon my chest,
    and throw Old Glory on my grave.
    But, don't y'all cry for me.
    You see, my Father's prepared a place.
    I'll be a part of his Holy army standing a watch at the Pearly Gates.
    Because freedom was never free.
    POW's, and fallen soldiers
    all paid the ultimate sacrafice
    along side veterans who put themselves in harms way.
    Risking their lives and limbs just to hold up democracy's weight,
    but still standing on them broken appendages anytime the National Anthem was played.
    You see, these were the brave warriors that gave me the right
    to say that I'm Black. Or white.

    Or

    African American or Caucasian,
    I'm Asian, excuse me.
    I'm Vietnamese, Philipene, Korean, or Jamaican.
    I'm Haitan, Hispanic

    Y'all, Please be paitent.
    I'm Mexican, Puerto Rican, Venezualean, Cuban,
    Dominican, Panamanian, Democrat
    I beg your pardon, you see I partied with the late, great Reagan.
    I'm Republican, Independent, Christian, Catholic,
    Methodist, Baptist, 7th Day Adventist, 5 Percenters,
    Hindu, Sunii Muslim,

    Brothers and Sisters We're just Americans.
    So with that I say
    "Thank You" to the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines,
    for preserving my rights
    to live and die for this life
    and paying the ultimate price for me to be...FREE!

    i want to be just like you

    A candle in the darkness

    Lord, I want to be just like You

    'Cause he wants to be just like me

    I want to be a holy example

    For his innocent eyes to see

    Help me be a living Bible, Lord

    That my little boy can read

    I want to be just like You

    'Cause he wants to be like me

     

    Last week we had at our church our Vacation Bible School and it was great, but like past vbs’s God has showed me the importance of being an example to those around me. Some times I look around and I see Christians who are living a life that is not completely relying on Christ alone and their lives show it, heres an example of what I’m talking about I was on a rafting trip out in Penn with my church and on the way back one of the guys asked if he could use my phone too get a picture from another Christian friend, but that was not what worried me, as we were waiting for the pic, he tried to reassure me that the pic would be clean and that he did not think that she(the sender) would not send any thing wrong. Then I said that it should not be a problem and that he should not have friends that do stuff like that. Then he got really mad and said that it’s not my problem and that I should live my own life.                                                                                                                                                                                            I can go on sites like MySpace and facebook and go on sites of people that knew really well and see extremely provocative pictures now I hear of others who are always going to bars and getting drunk it really burdens my heart to hear these things going on, here is a verse that ties right into what I’ve been saying.

     Matthew 5 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

    We are to be different from the world, but some times I see no difference. I pray for my self that God will show me what is not right with my life

    Matthew 7:2-4

    2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.                                                    3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?                                                         4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

    Humbly submitted
