The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was:

'If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?'

But... the good Samaritan reversed the question:

'If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?'

Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking.

There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked

solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.

A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend,

one human soul whom we can trust utterly,

who knows the best and worst of us,

and who loves us in spite of all our faults.

Harris now 'the most influential woman' in American politics...

by Marty Johnson (exerpts)

"She now is the most influential woman in American history, ever," said Duchess Harris, who teaches modern African American history at Macalester College in Minnesota.

The professor described Inauguration Day as "a moment of tremendous joy" but also "trepidation," underscoring the current state of the nation.

"It means a lot in terms of just the symbolism and the representation, and hopefully it also means something in terms of policy, that we've got somebody in the White House who comes from our experience," Cliff Albright, co-founder of Black Voters Matter told The Hill.

"It can't just be about the symbolism of the representation," Albright continued. "It's gotta be that there's still a long way to go on many of these policies that affect everybody in the Black community."

THOUGHT FOR CONSIDERATION

Our huffing and puffing to impress God,

our scrambling for brownie points,

our thrashing about trying to fix ourselves

while hiding our pettiness and wallowing in guilt

are nauseating to God and are a flat out denial of the gospel of grace.

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and

try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the

danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you

will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything.

Never!

Kenneth,

I have rejoiced in this day with all that has been given me by you.

Thank you

Kenneth Davis

I know why I am here

and my only real focused goal

is to live each day to the fullest

and to try and honor God

and be an encouragement to others.

What the future holds is firmly in God's hands,

and I am very happy about that!

The amazing thing about

love and attention and encouragement

and grace and success and joy

is that these things are infinite.

We get a new supply every single morning,

and so we can give it away all day.

We never, ever have to monitor the supply of others

or grab or hoard.

~ Glennon Doyle Melton ~

Thank you Helen for your encouragement ! Take a "Joy Ride" with Randy Scott and enjoy your evening.....stay safe...

IN MEMORIAM

I think swagger's a confidence.

It's a confidence

of you knowing that you work hard for your success.

A lot of times,

you can't develop swagger

if you haven't worked hard to succeed.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS

TO

WILLIE TAYLOR

It is not what he had,

or even what he does which expresses the worth of a man,

but what he is.

~Henri Frederic Amiel~

     A couple of years ago before this pandemic arrived, I called you a "Soul Man". Not the Sam & Dave variety, but the kind of gentleman who carries the "soul of a man".(James 2:26 NKJV) Even before that narrative, your continued dedication to the class, has constantly expressed your worth, as a man. Henri Frédéric Amiel was a Swiss moral philosopher, poet, and critic. So I'm sure that if he knew you, he wouldn't disagree.

     Enjoy your day of celebration, because it's not about what you had, but who you've become. Have a Lin Rountree kind of day...may it be SOULFUNKY and AMPLIFIED...should you use your imagination, you'll hear MotorBoat Moten on trumpet, Kenneth Johnson on sax and Cloyd Nightingale on the drums...stay safe my friend...
