Apples

My excuse for never helping the beggar at the intersection of I-45 and Scott is that I don't have cash.
My excuse for not getting my windshield wiped by the homeless at the intersection of West Bellfort  and HW-59 is that I don't have cash.

So here's the reaction
Apples
A bag of apples that sit in my car during these wintry cold months,
when a persons asks for money for food and I don't have cash,
I offer they apple, if they accept I roll down and give it to them.
Now one friend has told me that these people don't want food they just want money for drugs
and that I can get stoned with my apple but I don't know that,
so I offer what I have a prayer and today an apple.

Your voice: One purse

There is more happening here than 10 American missionaries in jail. I guess I came to remind myself of that. No one deserves to die in silence, and no one's struggle to live should go unnoticed as well. ---Anderson Cooper
                                                                                  


I want my voice to join his, people in this much pain shouldn't have to suffer in silence.have to struggle so. We are three days away from the one month anniversary of the earthquake and while our TV screens no longer remind us of their tragedy, their pain remains.



While some of us have gotten tired, others are finding innovative ways to give. Mudiwa: Haiti  (pictures shown)is a creation of a friend, who is using her unique talent of making purses to raise money for the Haitian people.

Mudiwa: Haiti - 'hope in a sea of tears'

Mudiwa Designs is a company with a fashionable cause; normally proceeds from these one of a kind purses go towards projects in Zimbabwe . However, the call of Haiti is too loud to ignore. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this purse will be donated to ADRA to assist in the Haiti relief efforts. Bid today!

Goodbye

Letters, telegrams, post-its.
I've written them all over the course of the last two years.

Entertaining they were
and momentarily illuminating one might say in some situations

but that is where they ended
posts on my blog
so this blog is changing, kill seems like a strong word
it is changing to chronicle how I will attempt to be change and not just a prolific letter writer.

It will be updated on the 15th and 30th of each month

don't hate against the template, i'm still trying a couple of them out, but if u like it let mii know.
i like the concept just not the way it looks

Empty Threats

Your words are all empty,
empty threats,
empty words,
useless.

When neighbors slaughtered each other
You called it deplorable acts of genocide
When grown UN peacekeeping troops raped 10 year old girls
You called it sad and unfortunate
When a government sanctioned the systematically killing of a tribe
You called it monstrous and evil
When dictators covered their crimes in mass graves
You claimed plausible deniability
When philosophers turned scientists claimed one race to be inferior to another
You called it a theory, published books and built museums
When children feasted on dirt cakes in order to stay alive
You called it sad, unfortunate and spent 6 billion on your pets
So why would today be any different
When Burma sentenced Kyi to 18 more months of house arrest
Britain's Brown called it monstrous
France's Sarkozy said it was brutal and unjust
UN's Ban Ki-moon says the verdict is deplorable
and of course
the US drops words like contempt and unreasonable

Your words are all empty,
empty threats,
empty words,
useless.


how have the mighty fallen
fallen into the midst of the sea
how have the mighty fallen
reduced to words of mediocrity.
