Strenght and Black Pride

Eleanor Roosevelt

When we stand strong in our belief with God things happen.

1 Corinthians 16:13

King James Version (KJV)

 

¹³ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.



 

 

The Tuskegee Airman stood strong in faith that they would get a chance to serve their country like their fellow pilots.  After being denied over and over again. Along came Eleanor Roosevelt. She's got Balls. The first Lady wanted to know what was the problem ?  Why these qualified Negro Pilots were denied the opportunity to serve their country.

Danny

The first lady's visit marked the initiation of the U.S. Army's African-American pilot program and the activation of the first all-African American military aviation unit: the 99th Pursuit Squadron. Later named the Fighter Squadron, it became the first squadron of black pilots to fight in World War II in the skies over Pantelleria, an island near Sicily, on June 2, 1943.

The Tuskegee Airmen made history and later develop what we now know today as the Black Pilots of America.  Their purpose is

To train youth to participate and advance in various types of employment within the field of aviation.

• To stimulate and encourage broader job opportunities for under privileged youth in all phases of aviation.

• To encourage youth to enter the field of aviation and to remain in school by showing films and lecturing in schools on opportunities in the field of aviation.

• To develop scholarships for who will partake in such training and development. youth

BPA has develop a great mentoring program.

Success in Black Hisory

Joshua 1:8King James Version (KJV)

 

⁸ This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success
 

Jesus VS. the other guy

Many messages we receive from God are thru the spoken word in the pulpit or in the street  with words of encouragement from the greatest like Malcolm X,  Martin Luther King and Dick Gregory. Just to name a few .  At the age of 5 I received the message very well along with millions of Americans .
 At my house my parents felt like we were going get something out of this Civil Rights Movement "what they also call the resistance: If  you are a Baby Boomer born in the 50's like me. If you are over 50 and watched your parents benefit or take part in the civil rights movement.,life was a huge learning experience.
 History has a strange way of repeating it self.  Is it because we have not pass the message well on to the next generations? Is it to late? No! We can deliver the message of equality and Love at any point in our life to the next generation.  It is never to late to communicate.  It is always considered a successful effort .

 Our ancestors took the battle to the streets over 100 of years ago. In the 60's as a Disciple of Jesus Martin Luther King took it to another level.  My generation drop the ball.  But  don't  feel bad because Martin Luther King's kids aren't putting up a fight for equality. They only fight each other over money. Don't be fooled by people like Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court Justice or Black Republicans I must say we drop the ball but It's not to late.  We can pick up and keep moving.

As a random act of kindness let someone know  the battle is not yours it's God's.  Be a Blessing and display a successful attitude.

Love and Sex

God intent for Man and Woman since the beginning of time  is to care, communicate, love,  obey and procreate.

 Genesis 1:27-28King James Version (KJV)
²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Jesus Let thou will be done

Love: a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.

Sex:: the instinct or attraction drawing one sex toward another, or its manifestation in life

Procreate: to beget offspring.

For today we will use these 3 definitions for Love. Procreate and Sex. In Genesis

God laid out a distinct plan for Man and Woman. Today like in the old testament we sometimes tend to get off the beaten path like Adam and Eve. Yes God gave us a set of directions which included care, communicate. Love, and then procreate. Like myself sometimes we want to change God plan or rules. Guess what ? That's when our lives become messy like Adam and Eve.

Abuse of each other and relationships was not God's intent.  Today we have females giving birth at 12yrs and younger. Males that think having the most children and women defines their manhood.

Before we procreate we need to know the love of God then ourselves .  In todays society it is a huge responsibility to being a parent.  Women are concerned about child birth but labor begins after the child is born. 
 
Last year I received negative comments from the Gay communities and others about Genesis 1: 27-28. Again don't get it twisted with God's intention for us.

As a random act of kindness today is a great day to discuss with a person the responsibility of relationships and what God intended.  Be a Blessing give a Blessing of Spiritual interaction with someone.  That is what God intended .

One Nation under God

Psalm 33:12King James Version (KJV)

Eric Holder

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance

• Eric Himpton Holder, Jr. is the 82nd Attorney General of the United States, in office since 2009. Holder, serving in the administration of President Barack Obama, is the first African American to hold the position of U.S. Attorney General. As of 2014, Holder is one of three members of the original Obama cabinet that are still serving

If you are a baby boomer remember when we displayed our love to God each day by pledging our allegiance.  Remember the statement " One Nation under God" With liberty and justice for all. First it has been removed from many schools. Big mistake huge mistake. We are suppose to be one nation under God not the KKK, ISIS , Skin heads or and other bipolar idiots. This includes all nations around the world. Lost in translation around the world is God's plan for Love, Liberty and Justice. Again let's begin at home, schools, neighborhoods and local government. Before we address ISIS let us address our home grown local issues.

 I am so glad we have a new Sheriff in town Attorney General Eric Holder.  Eric Holder has address many social injustices  in America.  Now we must do our part. Like putting Prayer back in schools.  When we remove it you see where that got us. Also get out and vote. it's not like you have something else better to do.
Today as you perform an act of kindness think about some of God's desires for us like Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Be a Blessing share a piece of Black History. Remember around the world we are still one nation under God! Don't get it twisted let's start from within.  Like Janet says if you want a better way of life we are apart of a Rhythm Nation.  Let's keep the beat!

Love

John 13:34-3true5King James Version (KJV)

³⁴ A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
³⁵ By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Today is Valentines day.   The day to express love
Remember Love begins in your heart and taught in your home. We sometimes see Love in the media and society displayed in a negative way. Home is where we can reach and teach.

Food for thought

Thurgood Marshall

Job 5:25King James Version (KJV)

²⁵ Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

Marshall's first big civil rights victory as an attorney, Murray v. Pearson, was against the school he couldn't attend, the University of Maryland. He successfully challenged their segregation policy, opening the door to equal education for generations of Maryland students
He was just 32 when he won his first case before the U.S. Supreme Court, Chambers v. Florida, which established that confessions obtained as the result of police coercion didn't count as evidence.

Yes Thurgood Marshall planted some great seeds for future generations to harvest.

Top 40 under 40 Wharton Magazine. Very Impressive we have a new generation that is quit capable of taking our social movement to the next level.  They are the movers and shakers of the 21st century.
