There's more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary-we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit.

I Never Thought I'd See A Resolution To This...
I don't think I thought that I would see a resolution to this in my lifetime. I'm glad that the family finally knows what happened. I know when this happened I wasn't even born yet, but I remember how much this one case did change the way that police looked for children, and that it made the reality of how easily a child could be taken common knowledge to the parents out there who thought not my child.

Some Bull-ISH
This commercial pisses me off to no end. Why? Well because I've only seen it on BET or when a show that is viewed by a predominantly African American/Black audience is supposedly watching. I think that is stereotypical and it promotes the idea that the only way that you can get a black person to buy a frickin' chicken nugget is to make the commercial look like a "typical" R&B or Hip Hop video. BULL-ISH!!! I don't see them making a country music McDonald's commercial and putting it on CMT. So why is ok to market a commercial that is obviously supposed to attract the black population in one of the most stereotypical ways possible. The only way it could've been worse is if they had a bottle of malt liquor and a slab of watermelon in the background. Or if they showed the chick ordering from McDonald's asking for a fucking grape soda!
Reminds me of this commercial... which is fake and basically making the same argument that I am...

Finally...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
That's a sigh of relief! LOL! I'm not done with the semester quite yet but I'm almost there. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm so tired though and I still got to keep my head in the game for another two weeks, but at least it's almost done!
I'm trying to plan myself a week of rest in January, hopefully in Florida, with my best buddy!
