With so much going on in the world, there would be a couple of drawbacks from the comments President Cathy made about his religious beliefs when it pertains to same-sex marriages.  With so much talk about "Freedom of Speech", who and what title do you must have in the world in order to express your religious beliefs and personal opinions without being criticized after the fact.  A bigger at stake is with world are we now entitled to our own opinion or are we just entitled to make occasional comments without offending a whole community group of people.  I have always been taught that there is only one judge, jury, and executioner, and I am not that person.  Who knows, maybe there are some homosexual people who are employed by Chick-Fil-A, that would not stop them from having a rich tradition of business.  Some people should be able to examine their own beliefs and not buy into so much to what others say and think.  Formulate your own opinions and decide what is right to you.  Things that you were taught at home, church, or school should address a multi-faceted array of issues but as a person with their own mind and beliefs one must develop the cognitive ability to understand, what this person said over here is not the gospel.  Wednesday, August 1st, 2012, Georgia decided to support Dan Cathy's Chick-Fil-A, by striking that particular day as Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day.  If anyone would be concerned of Dan Cathy's comments being deadly to the organization, Wednesday, August 1st, marked in stone that maybe words don't mind as much as those waffle fries and chicken nuggets or the lemonade and sweet tea mix available at your local Chick-Fil-A.  And for the record, I trust and believe in Dan Cathy's comments hopefully he doesn't have any Sandusky or Eddie Long type events happening in his own personal life, but that won't stop me from getting a #1 add tomatoes with a Sweet Tea and Lemonade mix.  

What did the Rain say to the Sunshine?

The SUNSHINE had something slick to say,

you know, you really cause of a lot of trouble.” 

“What do you mean?” the Rain asked in bewilderment. 

“You cause accidents, ruin picnics, spoil trips to the beach…the list on. But look at those people down there basking in my splendor. You know, the world would be a much better place without you,” the SUNSHINE accused. 

“I seriously doubt that,” the Rain said in defense.

“Then give me one good reason why it wouldn’t,” the SUNSHINE challenged.

 “Well, for one, I take away the pollution of the air, filling it with moisture and freshness in which the world breathes.”

“Give me another one,” the SUNSHINE challenged again.

“Do you see those beautiful flowers over there?” the Rain asked.

“Yes,” the SUNSHINE huffed.

“Well, I water the soil in which they are planted. I nurture the beauty of the world that you admire.”

“Go on, go on,” the SUNSHINE urged.

“I replenish the rivers, the lakes, the oceans, and the seas so that the essential element of life may be bountiful and plenteous. I give life to the fish of the sea. Look at the various trees standing throughout the land. I protect them from being consumed by fire so they can fight diseases in the lower atmosphere. I nourish the soil in which they are planted, too. And in return, trees exhale pure oxygen into the air…the air in the sky in which so freely fly. Were it not for me, the fowl of the air would be extinct. And aren’t those shady green pastures just lovely? Well, I nurture the ground the ground in which they sit. So, were it not for me, those animals you see down there grazing in the meadows would surely cease to exist. And what about the crops of the field? Were it not for me, they would dry up and wither away and there would never be any harvest to reap, causing starvation to be prevalent in the land. You see, my friend, I ensure the existence of virtually all things. Were it not for me, there wouldn’t be air to breathe, food to eat, or water to drink. So while I may not be favored by the masses just because I cause temporary discomfort, I am quite essential to life. And you know what that means, don’t you?” the Rain asked.

“I’m afraid I don’t,” the SUNSHINE said with an attitude.

“It means that those people so-called basking in your splendor wouldn’t even appreciate you were it not for me.”

Exasperated and at a loss for words, the SUNSHINE sighed and replied, “Well, you don’t have to rub it in!”

For those who have ever questioned GOD, or whether or not there is a world far greater than our own understanding, let's take this story into consideration. A six foot, three hundred pound woman, murdering her down syndrome daughter and throwing her eight year old son out of a window. All the signs in the neighborhood led to this, but no one could do anything about. When will we as a society take the shades off our eyes and step up do something or anything about the troubles people go through. I know and understand you can not help everybody, but if you are not trying to help those who obviously need help, are you not contributing to the problem?

A Renewed Possibility

In the midst of all the hurt and pain,
There's a calming scene while watching the rain,
The life of sin, will we live in vain,
The smile of a child, will keep me sane,
Crime is committed when you don't aboard that money train,
Now people are selling pills, hash, copper, as well cocaine,
What emerged from the Summer Breeze, a cold came,
Being a father and being a dad is not the same,
You walking about living your life, looking for a new dame,
But she milks you til you dry, now you look so dang lame,
Expletives was needed for the last line, but I"m not looking for fame,
As the mirror reflects the person on the outside, but who's inside that frame,
The good in you is there, the fool in you, you can hardly tame,
You breaking your families heart, they cry so hard it leaves a permanent stain,
Just because you want what you see on tv, get that monetary gain,
A Renewed Possibility, a new identity, shall be the TRUTH that remain.

Its not too late to be a responsible ADULT, don't look at the Foolishness trying to blend in, make an attempt to be yourself, and be an adult in the end.

#MV7 Redemption

Exclusive: Nike Re-Signs Michael Vick - CNBC

This is about to go down in history as the first time an endorser has had a change of heart after dropping an athlete or entertainer and regain their celebrity.  Michael Vick is the true example of Redemption.  When everybody signed him off and treated him like the scum of the earth.  He now is back in the NFL after serving his sentence in prison.  As well as regained the trust and respect of the future spokesman for the NFL as of April 2012, Nike.  They see despite all of the reports and turmoil, people (alot) of people still love Mike Vick.  I salute you sir!  This type of second chance can only come from a higher power, people these days are so quick to crucify a person when they make a mistake.  I pray that the reminder of your career will be highlighted with a Championship ring!  Welcome back to NIKE!

I see this story as a sense of spit in the face of law enforcement and the economy.  Nobody is safe these days, its corruption all around us.  Somehow its a test to the old question, "Does everybody have a price?"  I understand loyalty but I shatter the idea of stupidity when the price of your freedom is questioned.  Federal time or offenses is not worth the hassle.  But maybe my street ties are not that strong, because some things just should not be ask of, by someone who is supposed have your best interest at hand.  This story seems bigger than what they have published.  Maybe we should stay tuned.
