National African American History Month
I
just received a notice of a Presidential Proclamation -- National African
American History Month, 2014. I'm glad for the proclamation, but does that mean
it is only for 2014? I think it should be celebrated every year.
My
friend Jaki Rivon's poetry book ON THE WINGS:
COLLECTIVE WORKS OF POETRY has a couple amazing poems in it that fit this
theme: The Signature of a Black Man
and The Signature of a Black Woman,
two of my favorite poems in the book!
Both
her books are now available as e-books on Amazon, published by our own company
Undefined Logic, LLC (creators of the awesome iOS app Techno-Jargon!).
We'll
get them available pretty soon in print as well, though if you want a printed
copy, Jaki has some at her home and she would be delighted to sign a copy for
you!
To
order signed copies of either book
Call
713-436-3227
or

I
love both her books, but Amazon won't let me post a review of either one. Tsk.
One
more note. I know I'm leaving the blog languish, but my readership is low
(though loved - thank you, Mary!) and blogs do take time. Plus I haven't a lot
to say that I haven't already said. You know me as well as I do, now.
Our
Pastor retired and left the church a few months ago. We have an interim Pastor.
A few weeks after he arrived he announced that the church would help anyone
interested obtain a Concealed Handgun License. The class is planned for next
month.
He
fears for our church because of violence done in other churches. He wants to
have a group of church members with CHL's in church on Sunday (with guns) in
case some stray person walks in and threatens us. I like the idea, but in my
mind I see it going like this.
Odd
person walking into the sanctuary with a gun. (Are they planning robbery? We
think not; we suspect it is only violence toward the members.)
Two
dozen people pull out concealed handguns and confront the odd person.
I
think we'd get a donation out of that…
