The Death Of Senator "No"
Jesse HelmsI just got word that Jesse Helms has died. He was one of the most racist and devisive individuals American politics has ever created. To quote The Field Negro..."If there is a hell below, I hope it's enough fire down there for him to burn crosses to his heart's content."
With Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond gone, the stench of the old south has hopefully gone with them. I'm going to stop short of saying that it's a new day in America... One never knows, does one? But, it can be one... it can be one... and, there is one less person to say "No" to progressive change now.
Goodbye Senator "No" and good riddance!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
