None of you have children/grandchildren who “sag” their pants but maybe you know of someone who does. This would be a good thing to read at a Youth Program.

Letter from a college student
The other day, a friend of mine was visiting me in the lobby of my dorm just to chat while her laundry was drying. As we were chatting, two young freshmen came by. One of the boys wanted to ‘talk’ to my friend (as in date). She asked him how old they were, and both of the boys replied 18. My friend and I both laughed because we are both 22 years old. After my friend left, the young men were still hanging around and one wanted to know how he could gain her interest.
The first thing I told him to do was to pull up his pants! He asked why, and then he said “I liked saggin’ my pants”. I told them to come over to my computer and spell the word saggin’. Then I told him to write the word saggin’ backwards.

Mustard Seed faith - Scotiabank adds comfort to lives of disadvantaged children
Published: Saturday | April 25, 2009
..
Replacing a stolen bus that was used to transport sick and disabled children cared for by the Mustard Seed Communities: $1.9 million.
***
Adding a little comfort to the lives of disadvantaged children so accustomed to discomfort: priceless.
********
On Wednesday, Scotiabank filled a void left by uncouth and callous thieves late last year by donating a spanking new Nissan Caravan
to the Mustard Seed Communities. The bus was handed over at Mustard Seed’s head office on Mahoe Drive in Kingston.

The term black aviation describes a historical fact: For the first half-century of powered flight, blacks flew in segregated circumstances. The story of black aviation is one of breakthroughs against restrictions. First, such isolated pioneers as Bessie Coleman overcame the entrenched discrimination of the time. Coleman’s brief career as a stunt pilot inspired a generation of black youth. Even so, at the time of Lindbergh’s historic flight to Paris in 1927, only a few blacks had become aviators. Racial prejudice excluded most.
..
In the 1930s African Americans formed flying clubs to promote aviation in the black community. The clubs made it possible for African Americans to participate in aviation: Their members trained pilots and mechanics and promoted aviation through publications, lectures, and even air “circuses.” These air shows drew the curious with promises of “aerial acrobatics, rolls, turns, spins, ribbon cutting, crazy flying.” In 1933 and 1934 the long-distance flights of C. Alfred Anderson and Dr. Albert E. Forsythe displayed both flyers’ skills while appealing for equality in aviation. In Los Angeles William J. Powell set up the Bessie Coleman Aero Club and wrote his visionary book Black Wings, which urged black youth to choose careers in aviation. In Chicago Cornelius R. Coffey established the Coffey School of Aeronautics, served as the first president of the National Airmen’s Association, and built an airstrip in an African American community. Both Powell and Coffey recognized that blacks would need technical skills to advance in aviation.

When people ask Michelle Obama to describe herself, she doesn’t hesitate. First and foremost, she is Malia and Sasha’s mom.
..
But before she was a mother — or a wife, lawyer, or public servant — she was Fraser and Marian Robinson’s daughter.
..
The Robinsons lived in a brick bungalow on the South Side of Chicago. Fraser was a pump operator for the Chicago Water Department, and despite being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at a young age, he hardly ever missed a day of work. Marian stayed home to raise Michelle and her brother, Craig, skillfully managing a busy household filled with love, laughter, and important life lessons.

My wife and I are away on a retreat.
..
We decided to go to the hotel gym for a workout. The gym was
ultramodern and we were the only ones there. There were five
TV’s positioned over the treadmills and exercycles.
..
She wanted to watch a cooking show.
I wanted to watch a sci-fi program.
..
She got on the last treadmill on the left, I got on the last
treadmill on the right and we both tuned to different channels.

Just in case you didn’t get this already, I’m sending it your way!
Now this is something I have no problem in passing as I stand by everything that is being said here! Everything! This country is riding the coaster to nowhere, going straight downhill, because too many good people cower in silence, scare to give their own opinion of what they know is right, while a small minority of individuals tear this country down with their sick demonic ways. I could be wrong, but I think God will judge those who stand around with their hands in their pockets and their lips sealed while innocent kids and the like sink into the pits of hell on earth.
What say you? It’s okay, I won’t tell! (smile)
I have verified this to be a TRUE Story!
