Happy Easter

Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. His name is Jesus. Happy Easter! He is Risen!❤✝ 🌅

Back Again

I have not posted in several years, but I am determined to be consistent from now on.

I am Back

I know I have not written in a very long time. I will try to post several times a week. I have been letting things going on in my personal life interfere with my writing. So please continue to check my blog out. I will be posting more often.




Thanks, J

Being Insensitive Is No Laughing Matter

I have noticed that some people hide behind comedy when they are being insensitive. In the wake of the recent shooting in Aurora, Colorado I had the displeasure of speaking to one such person. This individual said something to the effect that they hated their job so much they would rather have gone to see the Dark Knight Rises in Aurora than be at work. Then this person who will remain nameless processed laughed as if this was a joke. There is nothing funny about what happened in Aurora, Colorado. I wish that people would think before they opened their mouths to speak. Laughing at the misfortune and pain of others even in an off handed way is unacceptable. This incident reminds me of the people that think it is funny to make jokes about the Holocaust. When will we realize that while we do have the freedom of speech we should have enough decency to sensor what comes out of our mouths. Honestly I normally don’t have a problem with people speaking their minds, or joking. I do however have a problem with people making a joke when 12 people lost their lives and several others are in critical condition. Please pray for all of the victims and their families. And remember that just because you have a right to do say what you please does not mean that you should.

A Simple Hello

Have you ever spoken to someone and they just walked right by without returning your greeting? I hate that with a passion. It personally offends me to speak to someone and be ignored. I feels like I wasted one of the very valuable breathes that the Lord allowed me on that person. Not only is it offensive, but it is simply rude to not respond to a harmless greeting. I am not talking about if you are on the train at midnight by yourself and someone approaches you. I am talking about at the office or in the supermarket. I am a very funny person so I speak to everyone I pass. I realize that everyone is not as talkative or funny as me, but a simple hello goes a very long way. Sometimes speaking to someone can make their day a little brighter. I know it always makes me feel good. Think about it.

In Remembrance

About a week ago one of my childhood friends died in Afghanistan defending the USA. I had not spoken to him in years, but I still cried when I heard the news. It really made me think about how many people come through our lives that have an impact on us in both great and small ways. I hadn't thought about him in a while, but the moment I got the news I could remember his face, and his personality. It made me so sad to know that someone as kind and fun as him would no longer be walking around. It also made me feel a great sadness to know that it took something so tragic to force me to take that walk down memory lane. Sometimes we are so focused on the here and now that we don't enjoy some of the wonderful memories that helped shape who we are now. I encourage everyone to remember the good times because they may not last forever.

Who is the Victim

I recently read an article about a young man named Paul Broussard, a banker, who was beat and stabbed to death in 1991. He was 27 years old and he was homosexual. There were ten individuals involved in his death. Most were in there late tens. 17 year old Jon Buice was convicted and sentenced to 45 years for the stabbing. The article I read mentions all of the great things that Buice has done since he has been incarcerated such as received three degrees. Several people believe that 45 years is too harsh a sentence. That really bothers me. He murdered that young man in cold blood, took him away from his loved ones. Why should he be given any special consideration. Many people are playing Buice as the victim, saying that he has been a model prisoner since his conviction in 1992, and that he should be paroled at his next parole hearing. Everyone should remember that there is a young man who died at his hands, and he is the true victim in this story. His name was Paul Broussard. His family will never get to see what he could have become because his life was cut short. Mr. Buice's family can still see him. Even if it is behind bars. I am willing to bet that Paul Broussard's mother, Nancy Rodriguez, would give anything to have the option of visiting her son behind bar instead of at a cemetery. I urge everyone to remember that Jon Buice is not a victim. He is a man who committed a horrible hate crime, and he should do his time.



RIP Paul Broussard
