KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: Sometimes it is so hard to wait. To wait for new things to happen in my life. To wait for you to answer my prayers. To wait for the open doors that may lead me into a new way of being. During the time of waiting, it seems that all I can think of is having what it is I am waiting for. At times I feel weary of asking and waiting, and I wonder if you really hear my prayers at all, if you are ignoring me, or if you are simply refusing to give me my heart’s desire. A part of me knows that you want my best, and that your time is not my time, but Lord, it is still so hard to wait. Deepen my trust, O Lord, during the times when my heart longs for what can only come in the fullness of time. Give me a calm assurance that your will for me is grander than anything I could ever imagine. Still my mind and heart in your love so that I am mindful of the grace you are draping around me every single day, every single moment. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.

This is why I say boycotting is needed down in Florida. We need to use the only tool that is at our disposal to get this law change. The white man is not going to do anything to change that law, he is the reason that the law is put there in the first place. The black people who resides there need to understand that boycotting Florida is needed to help change that " stand your ground " law. Whenever you mess with the city or state's revenue the Government gets serious about what the matter that is causing this. If we don't exercise our right to use this tool then it is going to continued to be open season on young black boys down in Florida.
The problem was one or more jurors could relate to Dunn regardless of the evidence. All it takes is one. Someone believed his story that he was scared for his life. Secondly, the prosecutors were the same sorry team that did not win the George Zimmerman's case. Once again they did not do a good job.Third, it's Florida's stand your ground law. The Florida was the first state with the law. Here in Florida self defense tripled since the law was enacted in 2005. The law makes it difficult to because as we see a shooter can say they feel threatened and the only person to defend the fear is dead. Florida residents love their guns(2nd amendment). This law gives them a legal way to kill individuals regardless of color. Therefore, a racist like Dunn, can use stand your ground on a young unarmed Black man. I forget how many states have stand your ground, but Florida is the worst one.
