They told Arthur Boorman he would never walk unassisted again. They were wrong!
I love everyone, but I don’t “LIKE” anything or anybody…
Instead of writing an actual post, I decided to just embed the tweets I generated on this subject. They pretty much cover everything I would have written in my post. š Just once, if someone said, “Please view my Facebook page? If you like it, consider clicking “Like,” I might consider doing it, but… — […]

My new book reviewing system
I read a lot. Before I go to bed, even if it’s 3a, I will take the time to read from my Kindle DX, even if it’s only 10 paragraphs before I find myself dozing off. Once I read all these books, I really want to do reviews on them, to share some good (and […]
The best award I’ve ever received…
Right before joining the Army in 1999, I taught 8th grade American Studies at what was considered a middle school in a low-income, disadvantaged neighborhood. At the end of each school year, the grades would have awards ceremonies where the teachers would give out certificates to the students with the top grades in each subject. […]

Yes, we can! Help Obama Patiently Endure and Overcome the forces that seek to continue to tear our country apart through the thoughts, words and deeds of the President’s opponents. Since Ephesians 6:12* tells us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of […]
Trayvon Martin’s hoodie is not to blame, but…
…the blame rests solely on the people whoseĀ perceptionĀ is that black, brown and even poor white people, especially young men and boys, in hoodies are criminals or criminal-minded. The hoodie has become to the young, urban male what the short skirt is to the young, urban female. This seems to be especially true when we talk […]
The greatest gift my mother ever gave me…
In the 43 years of my life, my mother has always been my strongest supporter, even when she knew and/or believed I was making some silly/terrible mistake that she knew she couldn’t save me from or knew that saving me from it wouldn’t help me learn from my own experiences. My parents taught me to […]
