A few weeks ago, I was taking some much needed time to clean my inbox of junk mail, commonly known as spam. One after another, I systematically placed a check-mark beside emails for which I had no interest or little concern. Yes, I admit that some of the emails were from individuals I knew - but, alas they were marked for the trash chamber for no doubt being yet another chain. As I checked off the doomed emails without emotion or thought, the subject line of one particular email gave me a great pause. "Blacks Under Hitler - A Must Read!" was the subject of the email. Interesting (I thought). Blacks living in Nazi Germany (not likely, I mused). Probably a real stretch...I'll read it later (I decided).

And, surprising at it might be, I "understand" Arizona's desire to do something about it. But, the problem with the Arizona is that they passed a legislation that's impossible to apply in an equitable fashion across racial and ethnic lines in an effort to ward off potential illegal and terrorist activity. So, I've come up with a solution that maybe Arizona's governor might consider while the injunction is in place.

Yes! And not only are they still coming out at night they're coming out all damn day long! GEEZE! When will all this madness, ignorance, and craziness end? It's like watching a remake of the Sixth Sense but instead of seeing "dead people all the time" who don't know they're dead we're seeing freaks disguised as intelligent, educated, and concerned.
"Damn, SjP!" You say. "You being awfully hard on this one - particularly since we ain't heard from you in awhile". I know, I know, but sometimes you just get to a place where you got to tell the truth. And I'm at that place right now!
O.K.! I know! I know! It's been a long time since I've posted. Not that I haven't had anything to say - but because "life" has been getting in the way of blogging and I just haven't had much time. So, why am I pissed you ask? Well let me break it down!
First: I've been tracing my family roots for the past two months. Had been thinking about doing so for a while, but thought I wouldn't have any luck. But a family birthday calendar prepared by one of my cousins for Christmas got me thinking about "who am I?" And soon I found myself on ancestry.com trying to find out. While its an exciting process and I've connected with long lost cousins and in-laws, I am pissed off with the realization that my ancestors were not considered three-fifths of a man. They were only counted as three-fifths of a man!

As I sit here glued to the tube watching the House finally vote on health care, one profound thing comes to mind...
Sometimes it's just hard to rise above the dumb stuff. To look the other way when foolishness rears it head. To turn a deaf ear to lies and innuendos. And when the dumb stuff, foolishness, lies and innuendos are directed it you, then it is even more difficult to keep your wits about you and avoid the "oh hell naw" moment. I'm guilty! I admit it! So, I guess that's why an unknowing colleague sent me (and others) the words of wisdom below. In sharing with you, I hope that you too will find the strength to Rise Above & Fly Like an Eagle!

Good Afternoon, Sojourners. Sunday Inspirations, a feature here at Sojourner's Place, is just one way to help get us through the week ahead, the trials we may face, and yes, to say Thank Ya and testify! I invite you to participate in this weekly meme as your contribution might serve as an inspiration to someone in need.
This morning, I woke up in time to watch Joel Osteen. While I know that there are many who might not appreciate his message, I always find his ministry as a source of inspiration. This morning was no different and I'm claiming today's message for my own life.
