"EBOLA AND RACISIM, TWO DEADLY DIEASES.....IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?"

There is a sickness among us, creeping around hurting people and taking lives. In the last several years, Africa has been infiltrated with the Ebola virus. Many Africans have died. But, no one cared until it hit The United States...Um.. Deadly! But there is also another sickness among us that was here before Jesus came, and that sickness is Racism. And unfortunately, there is no antibiotic, or serum that can destroy it. For there is not one thing that The CDC( Center for Disease Control) in Atlanta can do about it!....And in these two cases, I have to ask the question...Is There a Doctor in In The House? Let's Get The Facts about Ebola: Ebola is a EHF ( Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever) Disease. It affects Humans and some mammals. And it is caused by an Ebola Virus. Symptoms start 2-3 weeks after contacting the virus. There is a 21 day incubation period. Symptoms are: Fever, Sore Throat, Muscle Pain and Headaches. Typically Diarrhea and Vomiting do follow, along with a Rash. Blood samples will be taken to rule out anything else and to properly diagnose the disease. Contact is through Blood or Body Fluids of an Infected human or animal. And Washing of the hands and being properly clothed when working with meat, can't hurt. One must be aware that some of the disease could possibly travel through Fruit Rats. Even though Antibiotics are used, There is no specific treatment that can be guaranteed for the disease. And as of October 10th, 2014, in the area of Liberia about 4,024 people have died. Deadly, Deadly! RACISM: Racism has been here for a Long, Long Time! And ( Wikipedia) Defines that Racism consist of both Prejudice and Discrimination. And it is based in social perceptions of biological differences between people. And it often takes the form of social actions, practices or beliefs. Or it involves political symptoms. These symptoms considers different races to be as ether inherently Superior or Inferior to each other. There is this theory that members of a different race should be treated differently. Racism causes assumptions or presumptions. It causes stereotypes whether intentional or unintentional. And of course it crosses institutional divisions. ( Like in Colleges). -Racism...Deadly, Deadly! So is there a Cross reference between Ebola and Racism? Was Mr. Thomas Eric Duncan treated differently because of his race? And if the rumors are true, the way that he was treated in that Texas Hospital was Disgraceful! As I mentioned, This disease Ebola is not new. But it became brand new when it went from killing thousands of Africans to infecting white America.....And others. And you know, All of this has got me thinking. How fair was the distribution of good health care in the past? For example: when I was two years old, I was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance with a very high fever. They thought that I had Polio. But it turned out (like in many cases back then),that What I actually had was Rheumatic Heart Fever. I was in the hospital for weeks. And months later I had to learn how to walk again. Anyway, I really wonder now...how long was the Polio Vaccine out before the brown kids or the olive kids were able to get vaccinated? Was it like financial aid in college? You see, When we found out about The Basic Grant. The white students had benefited from it for years before we ever heard of such a grant. So, in the case of a disease like Polio, how long did we have to wait before we knew anything about a vaccination? And here in 2014, are we really prepared? You know this type of Racial Division of care is not new...Remember the war on drugs? There was no war, until the drugs left the poor neighborhoods and went to the Caucasian/Elite. Only then was it a tragic epidemic! Anyway, the nurses union has complained that the nurses, the hospitals and even the doctors are not really being prepared for this disease. And I can understand their concern. You know I worked in the medical field for years before going into the ministry. And I worked at a Major Hospital in Michigan in Nursing, Pathology and as a Pre-Med Student. When Aids became a big issue, our Infectious Disease Control Department did a Good job helping us to deal with it. But the problem was, every 5 minutes they were always changing the protocols. One day it's no glove then double glove, you must wear gowns, mask and on and on. So, I understand the frustration. And if something goes wrong, it's the nurses and staff who gets blamed and Not the Ceo's. And who gets hurt the most is the Patients and Their Families. And it was a mess during that Aids Scare. People just feared the unknown. And there were times back then, when if a Aids patient was coding, The Respiratory Team would take their time. Yes....I am telling you the Truth! Me...I had no problems working with Aids Patients. I had No fear at all, I just Prayed and followed protocol. But then one day a colleague put this thought in my mind. She said "Deborah, that's good that you are not afraid of working with Aids or IVDA ( Intravenous Drug Abuser)patients, but you need to remember that you have two kids at home. And you have to think about them" So, I understand what the Nurses and Staff are going through. They feel that they are receiving dysfunctional training. Racism in the country has grown rapid. Especially after Barack Obama became president. The haters are probably blaming him now for the Ebola Virus. Saying something low like he probably brought it over with him from Kenya, ( You know the country that they say that he was really born in). Pitiful. Yes, Racism has really been out there. It's been in the Congress, the police department..etc. Hate has taken too many lives in this country. People like Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Eric Garner in New York, Renisha McBride in Michigan, Michael Brown, the young man in Walmart, St. Louis and others. And although we must understand that violence does not solve Anything, I understand the Frustration and Anger. That's why we All Must Get Out and Vote. Vote, Baby Vote! And on that note: to All of you Democrats who have been hiding from President Obama and his accomplishments, denying that you are associated with him, like the disciples hid and denied that they knew Jesus after the Resurrection..you folks better watch out! Denying someone that helped you in the past, just because they are not on top right now just so that you can get Re-elected, is wrong. And you cannot be trusted when the heat hits you, on the floor of the congress. And in Reality , you may not get ahead anyway. So, as I close, let me say this: Everybody need to search themselves. Find out what prejudices that you may have. Do we Really love our neighbor? Even our neighbor who looks like us? And then we all should wonder..Is this Ebola Crisis a Disease or is it a Plague? Check the scriptures as you check yourself..( See Exodus 9:14). A Plague could have been allowed because of our hatred, racism and falling away from God......I Don't Know. Think about it. You know The Bible talks about how some things can only be solved by Fasting and Praying. You see, Racism is a Spiritual demon and it must be dealt with Spiritually. And that includes the hate of folks like Isis and the like. It's Spiritual Wickedness. But God has All......Power! And I don't care what your race or ethnicity is. I don't care if you are a Religious Right Conservative or a Progressive Democrat. It does not matter to me if you are a Bible toting Baptist, a shouting Apostolic or a card carrying A.M.E.- Racism and Hatred is Wrong. And with Ebola, Isis, and other issues facing us, this should be the time that we should be coming together as one. God has been watching. And He has found that a lot of us have missed out on an opportunity to Be Blessed by coming together. And now We are going to have to pay the price. So, I say this to you all today. Search Yourself. Make sure that Your Heart is Right. And After you have done that, do what God said to His people in 2nd Chronicles 7: 14. For He said.."If My People, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves pray and seek My face and Turn from their wicked ways, Then...I will hear from Heaven. And it is Then that I will Heal Their Land" So let's be clear, The Ebola Virus and Racism are Two Deadly Diseases. But if We will Pray, Repent, Be Honest with Ourselves and Seek God's Face...( For Real)..Then as a Nation We All will see, that There is a Doctor in The House! Blessings, PastorD

"ARE YOU MAD ENOUGH........TO VOTE?!"

Here we are, in The Middle of Spring and June is Almost here. And in a few months, we will be facing another Mid-Term Election. So Folks....How are you doing?....Are You Angry, Upset, Tired?..Are You Mad Enough to....Vote?!! You Know we talk about history. And Yes, history is repeating itself with all of the bigotry, sexism and the like. But in this last year, this country has Made History!!! People, we are Now at a New Low! The Republicans and the Scared Democrats are going to let your babies die from the lack of Good Health Care. and they do not care if they are under educated, or too weak from the lack of Good Nutrients to Notice. No, They want the Toddlers and the Infants to feed themselves, clothed themselves and to pick themselves up by their own Boot Straps, and they are not even old enough to buy Any Boots!!! Now Listen, I am not for Abortion. This is Something that I Do Not Believe in. But, how do you explain not allowing a woman to make a decision to terminate a pregnancy, even in the case of a rape or health issues. But in the same breath you deny their baby, Food and Good Health Care by misquoting the Bible saying...If A Man Don't Work..They Don't Eat!.....Really?!!! ( And by the why, since you love to quote that scripture so much, why don't you look at yourselves in the mirror. Because Most of you Republicans and your Uncaring Colleagues have Not Done Any Work!!!)... And they are doing this all while they try to keep women in The 1940's Legislating All up in their Playtex Drawers! So, Yeah, I'm Mad. I am definitely Mad Too! But, what are we going to do about it? Well, Let's See. In 2010, The Democrats and a lot of folks were So Laid Back and so caught up in The "Obama Won the Presidency Euphoria", that We Stayed Home. And what did we get? We got A Republican House, a Barely made it Democratic Senate ( With Some Democrats who were actually Republicans on the Down Low), and a whole bunch of uncaring, cold hearted Republican Governors. Just ask the folks in Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Yes...We are going to have to get Our Behinds Out to The Polls like it's 2012!!! Now You can Call in all that you want to on the talk radio shows, But we have to Pray, and put some action in Our Prayers, and Vote! You see, We should have learned by now, that having a Democrat President who Does Care, will not matter when you have a legislative majority that continues to Repeat.... "Just Say No!" No, We are going to have to get Out and Vote in this Mid-Term Election like your Life Depends On it! And to All of You Scared Democrats who care more about winning the election than about the people that you work for...You Better Watch Out! We Know who You are. You have been Hiding and Running away from The Affordable Health Care Act, like the Disciples did when Jesus was No Longer Popular but was Crucified for Doing what was Right!! Our Message to You is...We Will Remember you this Election. You know, Maybe you Do Need to Lose the Seat that You have so Fearfully Tried to hold on To! ( Out here trying to Save your life and Lose Your Own Soul!!!).....You Don't Care about Our Babies, Women, The Poor and The Working Poor... You Just Care about Yourself!! And You Need to go Somewhere Repent and Apologize to Your Constituents Because We will Remember You!! And as I Close, let me touch on a Very Sensitive Note: For All of You who have Not Voted for Years because You Don't Know how or because You Cannot Read....Please Don't be a shame! But Find someone that You can Trust and ask them to help You. And then Ask God to send you Someone who will help You to Learn how to Read!! Listen, The Shame is Not in You Not Knowing How to Read. But, The Shame is in You Not Getting Some Help when it is Available to You!! So, Get Mad...And Be Determined that Nothing, or Nobody is going to Stop You from Exercising Your "RIGHT" to Vote!! And Please Don't Listen to The Folks who say that Your Vote Don't Count Anyway...For They are The Ones Who Do Not Vote in The First Place!! And They are The First Ones to get in a Line to Get Something! And Listen, My Vote Does Count. And I Make Sure that it Does!! For, Besides Praying.... After The Election I Stay in The Face via email, Phone Call or Whatever to Make Sure that Those that are Elected Do What's Right. Understanding that Sometimes what God May Tell them to do, May Not Be what I Want to Be Done!! So Wake Up Everybody! Put this Election Under The Blood of Jesus! Pray for Our Leaders. And Pray for This Election. And ask God to Have "His" Way. For He Don't want to see His Children out Here Hungry, Homeless or His Seed Begging for a Piece of Bread!! So Are You Angry, Tired, and Disgusted!?...Then Get Up, Stand Up and Vote, Vote, Pray...And Vote!!! Blessings PastorD

"WILL THE REAL RACIST......PLEASE STAND UP!?"...( The Revelation of The Racist on The Down Low)

About a Few Weeks ago in April, 2014, Right in The Middle of The NBA Playoff's, There was Breaking News..A Tape had Revealed that Donald Sterling, The Owner of The LA Clippers Made Racist Statements about Black People. Statements that was Recorded in Secret by his then Girlfriend V. Stiviano. Ms. Stiviano is of Mexican and Black Decent. Reportedly, he said some Very Low ,Ugly Degrading Things! Apparently this all got started after she took a picture with NBA Legend Magic Johnson. As a matter fact, Just Recently, He said some Very Low Cut Cruel things about Magic Johnson in the Midst of his So-Called Apology! Well, The Pressure was on. And The NBA Players Stood Their Ground. And Between The Players, Fans and The Sponsors Pulling out on The Clippers...Commissioner Silver Banned Sterling from The Clippers and from Appearing at Any NBA Games. He was Fined Two Million Dollars, and He was told to Give up The Clippers. People Say, that Two Million Dollars Was Nothing for him. But Donald Sterling Let it Be Known that he was Not going to Pay Nothing, and that he was not going to Give Up Nothing!! It's All Now in the hands of the Owners.. and God! What Really Amazed me about this whole thing, is The Players. The Retired and Current Players. In Press Conferences and The Like, You did not just see a Bunch of Rich NBA Players, with that "I got Mine's You Get Yours".. Mentality, but these were Business Men, Politicians, Community Leaders and I Was Proud of Them! And Magic Johnson could have really acted out.... but under the circumstances, I Think that he did Well!! Now, The Word around the Media and on The Streets with The White Picket Fence is....."What Someone says in Private Should Not be Used against them" But let me make this Clear.....Yes, People have The Right to Privacy....But How You Think and How You Feel about Folks Becomes My Business When You are a Corporation, And You Employ those Same Minorities that You Think are Lower than a Dog!! It becomes My Business When My Patronizing Certain Entities is Paying for The Business that You have and is Paying Your Salary! But as I Close, Let's Talk about Something Else...Donald Sterling was not The First Racist to be Found out, Nor will he be The Last. Remember The Congressman Who Lost his job?...And Paula Deen...She is Still Trying to get her Job Back. But at Least They Tried to Fake an Apology. No, Since Barack Obama became President of The United States.... Racism have Come Out of The Woodwork. Kids are Starving, The Unemployed are about to go Homeless, and Health Care for All does Not exist in Some States, All Because Racist Folks Don't Want to Allow Anything to be Done, that Will Help this Black Man Look Good!!! So, My Question For You Today is....Will The Real Racist...Stand Up?"...Really, Who Will Be Next? Someone who anchors Your Local News?.....Your Mayor, Congressperson. Or How about The Doctors that You have Been Seeing for Years? or What about The Preacher in The Pulpit?...Please Do Not Be Surprised!! And Listen, this type of Hate is Not Isolated to Whites, Tea Partier's or Republicans. But,Racist Comes in All Sizes and All Colors. But at The End of The Day, it's Wrong..It's from the devil and it is Demonic. And God is Not Pleased!!! So, We All Need to Check Ourselves to Make Sure that We are Not a Racist...."On The Down Low"!!! Let's Make Sure that We are Not Teaching Our Babies to Hate by Using Sublingual Messages!!! God Comes to Search The Heart and in These Last of The Last Days...We All May Need to Repent and to Make Sure that We Can Stand Before The Lord!...And After We have Searched ourselves and Repented.......Hold On....For God has Something for All of The Donald Sterling's of The World... He has Judgement for All of The Legislators who Refuse to Help The Poor or The Working Poor Because They Hate a Black President. Yes, We Must Continue to Fight and Speak Out against this Type of Hate...But Know This...That Vengeance is Mines...Sayeth The Lord, and to The Kochs and The Like.....You Better Know that, Proverbs 21: 13 is Now Coming to Past....."Those that Stop Their Ears Against The Cry of The Poor Will One Day Cry Themselves and WILL NOT BE HEARD!!!!! So, Let's Continue to "Pray, Stand Up and Fight"!!! Blessings, PastorD

"WHOSE REPORT DO YOU BELIEVE?...THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT"

It is Sunday, September 29th, 2013. And We are Only Hours away from a Government Shut Down. An Unnecessary Shut Down!! All Because Somebody Do Not Want The Affordable Health Care Act to Take Place. Last Night, I Stayed up Watching the Ridiculous Waste of Taxpayers Money…."The Congress"..Debating Over The bill that they were getting ready to Pass. And Pass The House Did…To Mess with The Medical Equipment Clause in the bill. And attach to the Debt Ceiling bill that The Affordable Health Care Act be Delayed for a year. One of those "Or Else" Deals!!! If you could See The Shame I Saw on C-Span Last Night, The Democrats, Practically Begging the Opposition to Give a Care about Their People. And The Republicans, who Spoke Just Lying and Proving that They Don’t…"Give A Care"..About You!! And I’m Going to Say it..The Obvious Hate Against Our President Barack Obama. Yes..That’s What All of this is All About!! If You Could have Watched that Fiasco..You Would of Been Highly Upset!!! So Let Me Say this..If This Country Do have a Shut Down, Then The First thing that Better Shut Down, is The Payroll Check and Health Care of The U.S. Congress!! We Don’t Get Paid, They Don’t Get Paid!!! Plus the fact that They Hardly Work in The First Place. I am telling You that We as a Nation Need to get a Petition together, stating that All members of The U.S. Congress Payroll and All The benefits that are Involved Should Stop Immediately when The Government Shuts Down!!!! But This is what You Need to do Now. On Tuesday, October 1st, 2013, Get on Your Computer Your Friend’s Computer or Go to The Library and go On www.healthcare.gov and Sign up for Affordable Health Insurance. Especially You Young People Over the Age of 26. Whose Report Do You Believe? Well Consider The Source. Look back on How The Same ones that say that You be Better off without this Insurance are the Same ones, who Denies The Rights of Women’s Health, and Women Making a decision Over their Own Bodies..( Even Though I am Not For Abortion)..Look back and see that These are the Same Folk, who Voted against The Dream Act, persecuting the Young People who work hard and go to school but was brought here illegally by their parents, but They Themselves have Done No Wrong. Look Back and see that These are the Same People who will use The Scriptures as a Excuse Not to Continue Food Stamps for The Poor and The Working Poor by Stating "Man Who Does Not Work, Should Not Eat"…These are the same People who must of overlooked the Scripture that saids .. "Those that Stop their Ears Against The Cry of The Poor will One Day Cry Themselves and Will Not Be Heard"..Proverbs-21:13. Yes, So Consider the source. Who in their right mind will tell you to continue to get health care in The E.R. and go into More Debt? Who in their Right Mind, will tell you, Not To Insure Yourself, but just Stay home and die and Let your Children die too. ( Because Basically that is What they are Saying by telling you that you are better off without this Insurance).. My Son, has a Tumor in his Brain by the Ear, and Can’t get Medicaid here in Michigan and he Needs this Insurance Now!!. My Married Daughter who has Two Degrees Could Not Get any Insurance and was sick for a Long time, because of Pre-Existing Conditions. And Only have insurance now because she has a Two Year Old and a One year Old Child. Now, Whose Report Do You Believe? Do You Believe the Folk that are Getting Walking Around Money by The Insurance Companies , The Koch Brothers and The Like?…Just Follow The Money Trail!…So Grab A Friend, a Loved One a Co-Worker who has No Insurance and go on www.healthcare.gov on Tuesday October 1st, 2013. And see what Doors that has been Opened for You. No, this is Not a Perfect Plan. And I have Fought for "The Public Option" for years and will Continue to Fight for it. But This is Better than Nothing!!..So Let’s All get Our Selves Together and Get Busy..Let’s Pray, Stand Up….And Fight!! Blessings PastorD

"NOT GUILTY"....REALLY?...(JUST "US".)..JUSTICE FOR ALL?...THE FIGHT CONTINUES!"

Less than Eighteen Hours ago, on Saturday, July 13th, 2013 , George Zimmerman  was Found Not
Guilty by a Jury of  Six Women .  Five Caucasians and One Unknown.
Not Guilty........Really? Are You Serious?!!  Okay, 2nd Degree Murder Might, Might Have been a Small Stretch, But Manslaughter?!!....He was Absolutely Guilty of Manslaughter!!!  And The Claim of it being in "Self-Defense"?....Give Me a Break!......Anyway, Over Fifteen Hours they Deliberated.  Now,We can go into Who put on a Better Case. Like Why didn't The Prosecutors Object  to a lot
of Ugly things that The Defense Said? Or Why didn't in Cross Examination did they not have  a Better Comeback like when The White Woman talked about her home had been burglarized by a Black Teenager.
You See, The Right comeback from The Prosecutors should have been, as Some Experts Say....."Did Trayvon Martin Rob Your House??..Then if Not,  Your Testimony is Irrelevant!!!!"

   So on This Day, The Day After The Verdict What's Next?  ...Well, Baby, I'll tell you What's Next....The Fight Continues!! And I Would like for you to Look out for a few Things:  Look Out for The Possibility of: 1.   Proof After the Fact that George Zimmerman, Had the Gun in his Hands Already.  And so the issue of Trayvon  Martin Reaching All the Way in Zimmerman's Back Side  to Get his gun was a Lie.    2.  Look Out for The Witness who did not want to get involved...Not being able Rest Anymore, and Will Get Involved.   And She Will tell You Something that May Shock You.
3. Look Out for a Prosecutor, who may walk away from The State, and Pursue other options in Law, and will Tell The Real Deal Why things Seemed to Shift After The Judge would not Allow Race to be Introduced into The Trial!  4. Do Not Be Surprised, if You  Find Out, That there was Jury Tampering or Jury Threats. ( And On That Note, Don't Be Surprised if There was Some Private Members of The NRA who  Just Possibly Could have Did a Little More than Contribute Financially to The Defense Fund, and whom had Connections with One or Two of The Jurors!)

Yes, The Lies, The Cover Ups, from that Night with The Police Department to Now... Don't be Surprised of What You May Hear.  Well the fact   is that if George Zimmerman was Black, he Would  have got Arrested that Night, and Never would have been given a
chance to go home Before a Trial.  No, it would have been No Buddy, Buddy Relationships going on between The Sanford Police and um What did The Sanford Police Call him Now?......Not Mr. Zimmerman but...."George"?!  And The Humility for a  Black Teenage Young Lady,who  was Treated like a Whore in The Streets, just because She had Proof that Zimmerman was The Aggressor, was Disgraceful!   Oh Yes, This Verdict Hurts, and it Makes us Angry.  It Makes us Angry  that a Jury could Not Find Zimmerman  Guilty of Anything!!  Oh You Killed a Kid, who was just going home preparing to watch a Basketball game, and had Nothing in his Hands but an Ice Tea and Skittles, And he was Black?....Oh ,No Problem.  You are Free to Go.    But it's Not Over!  Yes, We are bringing this to The  United States  Justice Department Once again, so that Civil Rights Charges can be filed and other things. But The Real Reason   that it is Not Over is....The Word of God saids that Nothing is Hidden, and what's Done in The Dark will Come to The Light.  So, Wake up America, Because God has Just Turned  The Light Switch On!!!   And I Pray that Zimmerman will break away from his Peeps, Supporters and Contributors, and Repent Before God, Because Judgement Day is Coming. Oh No, I am not talking about when You Leave this Earth...Yes, that will Come too!  But I am Talking about the Judgement for him that is Coming on This Earth, Real Soon.  And Because God Saw Every Single thing that Happened that Night
......Mr. George  Zimmerman will Now have to enter "The County
Courthouse of Jesus Christ" ,Right Here and Right Now!!!..Mr. Zimmerman You said that This was God's Plan, To Kill an Un Armed 17 Year Old Young Man.   Well, When You enter that Courthouse  of Jesus Christ...I Believe that You will Soon Find Out Different!.  Yes,  Justice For All??...Well.Maybe Not Just Yet. But for Trayvon Benjamin Martin and for Others to Come..., The Fight Will and Must  Continue!!  It Must  Continue through Our Walk, Our Talk, Our Vote and Through Our Prayers!   To God Be The Glory!!
 
Blessings,
PastorD

"CUT IT OUT"....AND VOTE!!!!

Here we are about Fourteen Days until The Presidential Election, as well as other Important Elections. But Let's Talk about this Presidential Election in the United States....Oh Did I Say.."United"...States?   This Election and the Campaign has been a Mess!  And The Haters and Racist have Truly Come Out of the Wall, The Hole or Whatever!! And like I am telling My People, this is Not just about... "I  Want My Guy to Beat Your Guy or Democrats against Republicans"...No! This is a "Spiritual Warfare"  Spiritual I Say! For the devil Truly has Lifted up his Ugly Head.  And I am not Saying that I Agree with Everything that President Obama has Done, but He is The President, And He Must Be Respected!.  And with All that has been handed to him, he has Done a Darn Good Job!!  And by the way, it's just like My Husband saids,Barack Obama is The President of The United States...Not Just a...."Black President"!!  But The Racist Codes Like "The Food Stamp" President, The "He's Not a American or The Muslim Gate" and other things are Part of a Spiritual Warfare.  And Divided We Stand, when a Group of Black Preachers who have Never Stood Before a National Mic about Anything else, All of a Sudden can Raise a Million Dollars to get Us'ess to Not Vote for President Obama because of His Personal, Personal Opinion of Same Sex Marriage. No Law was Passed or any kind of Declaration but he gave His Opinion .  And Here these Religious Folks Come,  Raising One Million Dollars while their Congregants are Losing Their Homes, Need Food and Food Stamps, and Jobs!!  And alot  of these People who are Receiving Food Stamps by the way, are Working, but it is not Enough...And I Believe that Most of them will Not be Too Ashamed to Say..."Thank God for Food Stamps!"...So, How Dare You!!   Well from Day One when I Heard this, I Knew that this Smelled!! And Now We find out That The  "He Said"..Group is being Funded by People Associated with The GOP.  It's like I always say....Follow The Money Trail.  Now, I Do Not Approve of Same Sex Marriage, but I will be Darn if I am going to legislate What Homosexuals Can or Can't Do or Where They Can or Can't Live or Where They Can or Can't Work.  Um....It was just Yesterday when They were Saying that about Us...My Black Clergy Brethren!! And I Don't Approve of Abortion, but again, I am not going to Not Vote for Somebody because of that either. Let's See, The Gop Religious Right Pharisee Republicans don't want You to Support Abortion or Gays..But, it's Okay, to Let The Children who Have Come out of   The Birth Canal, who Are Breathing and Very Much Alive,  Die because of Their Cutting and Slashing of Social Programs, and Denying them Adequate Health Care.  It's a Double Standard. 

    So, I Say to The People in This Country to..."Cut It Out"!!!! Cut that Tumor of Hate and Racism Out of Your Heart, Cut that Cyst of Blocking and Stonewalling Out of Your Congressional Seats.  And Folk in The Hood/Suburbs.....Cut That Cancer of Ignorance Out of Your thinking, that Saids ..."My Vote Doesn't Count, or I'll just Let Someone else Do it for Me!!"... CUT IT OUT!!!!! Stop Being a Bunch of Sorry People !! I Don't Care Where You Come From..It's  Sorry to be like that!  And by The way...if You Don't Vote...Keep Your Hands in Your Pockets, Because You Don't Deserve any of the benefits that those who did Vote, Voted  for Folks to have!! For Even Now in 2012, Over Forty Years After Dr.  Martin Luther King and Others,  People are Still Having to Fight for Their Vote! Women are Not just being told to go to the Back of The Bus like Rosa Parks..But they are Told to Go Back to The kitchen, and By The Way, Take Your Shoes off and Bare Me a Child While You are at it!!!!  It has been said Lately, and I Agree, that Too Much has been made about these Debates. We Should not be Sitting around with Some Popcorn to see if My Man Wins, Look Good, Sweat or Whatever.   For this Election is Not about a "Debater in Chief" But this is about a "Commander in Chief".  This is About Our Lives. Ask anyone who had a Child that had to go before The Supreme Court, where they had to Decide if They Lived or They Died!! This is About Our Lives. And We Need to Wake up Now!!!!!

  I  Close with Two Examples of why No Abled Body Person Should Have Any Excuse  Not to Vote. 
1. There is a 93Year Old War Veteran who is in Hospice.  He Fought for Our Country and was Not going to Let this Election go by Without Counting his Vote. So at his Bed side, he made sure that on his Dying Bed,that he got to Cast his Absentee Ballot.

2.  A 36 Year Old Black Male who is a Full Time Pastor but Do not receive a regular salary,  had to Look Long and Hard for a Job.  So He left the State of Tennessee  to find a job  and ended up with his Sister and Husband back in Michigan. Well Praise God he found a Temporary Job.  And he was Determined  that The Republican Party and the Haters was Not going to stop His Vote.   So He tried to Vote by an Absentee Ballot with The State of Tennessee. But because they were fooling around with it,He Decided to ask for
a Day off of his New Job, Take Money that he was Saving for a Much Needed Car, Hopped on a Plane, Excuse me Two Planes..( With a Lay Over)..And Vote.  And He Did!  This 36 Year Old Young Black Man, Voted as Soon as he landed in Memphis!!!  He Takes Voting Very Seriously and have been since the age of 18.  And by the Way, this Young Man is My Son!!!! And I am Very Proud of Him!!  So, What's Your Excuse?.  And to those who have not Decided Yet...Wake Up, Your Own Personal Struggles , and Some Prayer should have Been.......... Showed you what to Do By Now.!
 So in these Last Few Days Before November 6th, 2012, Get up!  And Help Somebody Else Get Up and Vote!! Go to the Lord , Repent, and ask God for Forgiveness. Because at The End of the Day, with No Msnbc, CNN or the like, with No Big Crowds, or TV Ads, with No Signs and Marches around You...It's Going to be Just You and Him!! So...."CUT IT OUT".     Remove All of those those things that's inside of You that is Blocking "You"  from Going Forward!!   Do it Today, and ......VOTE!!!

Blessings,

Pastor D

"End of the World Threat, May 21st, 2011 has Passed....Now, What are You Going to Do?!"

As a Pastor, I find it Very Necessary to Remind All of those who Should Know Better that the Word of God saids in Matthew 24:32-36, that No Man will know the Date or the Hour of The Lord's Coming... Not even Jesus Himself.  As I think about All of the Rhetoric and Joking about the Prediction on how The End of the World was suppose to happen at 6:00p.m. Today, Saturday, May 21st, 2011, I am Praying that Pastors Everywhere Who Know the truth, and Who Really Gives a Care about the Salvation of Souls, Will make it a Point to ask this question to their Congregation On Tomorrow, Sunday, May 22nd, 2011: ....."Knowing that Only God knows the Day and Time of Jesus coming to Receive his Saints, and knowing that Only He Knows the End.....During All of this Threat and Scientific Predictions of the Lord's  Coming, and the Threat of the World as We know it coming to an end.....Did it Cause You to Check Yourself out? Did it cause You to Search Yourself, Pray and to Make Sure that You are Ready, not to just Meet Jesus, but to be able to Spend Eternity with him, not being Refused  or sent Straight to Hell?  And if you did not think about that....Then You Better Start..... Right Now!!!"  Blessings-PastorD
