DISQUS

Drew is my bro-in-law - I forwarded your post to him and a link to the background of your twitter page.


Holla!

I'm sorry, did you say something?


I was distracted by the small white man doggy stylin the gianormous black dude.

Course the Jets scored first.


Favre...need I say more?

Stockcharts asked to be considered for bailout money. Running out of red candles.

I will try to get you one made next week!

I was a close friend of Jason Cardenas and I will miss him dearly, just a senseless tragedy. I want to leave my email message for Mrs. Cardenas as I have no other way to contact her but here, I have momentos that I would love to give her and to send my condolences...

Deborah,


FWIW, despite our occasional tiffs on issues such as wages and job availability, Blacks and Latinos benefit tremendously from each other's growing political power overall.



We both share an interest in preserving affirmative action and confronting the assaults of the White "privilege class."



By helping to support e.g. amnesty for "illegal" immigrants (who have in fact been invited in and worked very hard by the US corporate class), we are also supporting the legalization and rewarding of a class that was long denied fair compensation for their labor, just as Blacks once were.



Also, both Blacks and Hispanics tend to support liberal political figures who look out for our interests.



We won't see eye-to-eye on everything. And yes, Latinos can sometimes be cliquish, but I don't mind that-- if Latinos want to use Spanish in their communities, they have a legal right. The USA took the Southwest in the Mexican War remember, and that region, like Florida and Puerto Rico, has laws that explicitly give rights to Spanish as an official language in wide public application. Besides, Spanish isn't hard to learn. Yo lo hablo sin mucho dificultidad, y he aprendido el espanol para solo cinco meses!



The point is, Latinos and Blacks are natural allies, we're both very dark-skinned peoples who've been brutalized and victimized by the British and their Anglo cousins in the USA for centuries. Whites hate us both. And only by sticking together can we stand up for ourselves and protect our rights here.

And I thought I had it good with 65-70 degree temps the last several days! Thanks for having us over and providing a good beach tip in addition to the lovely weather.

I am so with you on the clean house thing, but around here it has too be clean bathrooms or I feel like the house is dirty.

I have four boys myself. I'll have to check this out on DVD. Thanks!

Happy birthday! October birthdays rule! (I just turned 36 on the 6th).

How truly blessed you are to have a family like that!

What a great story! It is always amazing to look back and clearly see God's hand in our lives.

The title of the song is Heaven's Cry

"The mission of churches shouldn’t be to get bigger. The mission should be creating disciples and sending them out to do ministry."


Exactly! You put words to something I've been ruminating on the last several days.



Have you read "Growing True Disciples" by George Barna? I haven't but am intending to. You can read a sample chapter here: http://www.barna.org/FlexPage.aspx?Page=Excerpt...>

Hmmm... interesting thoughts. It seems that society has started to value the rights of each individual above the rights of society in general. It's more important for the individuals in the library to be able to speak loudly than it is for everyone in the library to be able to concentrate.
