St Louis Beating

2006-02-01T07:55:00.000-08:00

Yesterday on the eve of the supposed beating of a black man in north St. Louis County. I attended my Eng class at SWIC in Illinois. The teacher had the class identify a picture in Seeing and Writing. The picture was a memorial to a black man that was beaten to death by 2 white cops.
The point of the matter is, people (liberals) are making it a race issue before the facts are known. None are saying that there was a black cop in preside of the affair, the continue to show over and over again the beating, and not the use of a car has a deadly weapon.
Which, when someone uses a car as a weapon, the rules of engagement go out the window. Therefore, the use of force to the full extent is authorized at that point.
People in the region are blind to the fact that the cops first and for most have a responsibility to there personal safety. The safety of the individual is no longer and issue, when the flee in the car, use a car has a battering ram, and flee on foot. One does not know what he is capable of nor, what the individual has on his person.
So all those bleeding hearts out there attempting to call another Rodney King or Malice Green, need to stop and think about the persons that put their lives on line for you and me. Because you never know, protest today, call 911 tomorrow, and see if they show up?

A man in the body of Christ

I decided to start keeping my personal life on a blog, in hopes that there may be another out there with the same struggles that I may have.
I live in a life that I have a strong faith in Jesus Christ, I believe in the Bible in its entirety.
Attempting to be the best Christrian I can is a struggle to say the least, when the woman I have been married to for the past 10 years attempts to control every aspect of my life.
Somewhere along the way something went wrong, somewhere I lost control of my marriage and allowed my wife to take control, somewhere I became a weak individual unable to be the man God called me to be.
My past has to do with alot of the problems, I have made my mistakes along the way. Yet they continue to haunt me almost daily. I just praise my Lord for the covering of the blood, that my sins have be wasted from me has far has the east is from the west, into the sea of forgetfullness.

I just wish people would forget the way our Lord does. Time and again I am reminded from the adversary of our souls that I commited grave errors in my past, that I am not worth to say anything to anyone. He uses my wife to remind me of such transgressions in my life. Funny how the enemy will do things like that? Anyway, when she throws things out like that it makes it hard and hard to continue on with a marriage that is has ours.

Its had to fight a fight when everyone around an individual is a lone and he has no one to turn to. It make's things that much more difficult in the end.
I have my beliefs, I stand strong in the moral foundations that I truly believe in. When I see that there is something wrong I shine light upon it. The enemy hates it when I do that, because often times enought, a fight is sure to follow. He uses words like, just because us think it does not mean that you have to say it or mention it. You have no right to say anything, didnt you do that.
Normally that is when I throw up the white flag to give up, because I can't proceed on. I just want to run out the door and never come back.

I am a man that wants a Godly family, faithful in all things and believe that the fight has already been won in heanve. Finding myself in the body of Christ is difficult to say the least in the hell that I live in. I never know what a new day brings, the Lord always blesses me in some form, yet I am struck by the enemy in some form.
The people I cohabitate with that go to church on a regular basis, tear down and never build up. For some many years now I feel has if I have been torn down. The result of my circumstances is a shell of a man, that feels battered on the inside.

With what I have written thus far, I want to know if there is any others out there that are like me.
