Dear Big sister,

"A son's a son until he gets him a wife.  

A daughter's a daughter all her life."

Remembered something mother told me during one of your more recent visits to Atlanta.

Mother said a teacher cried when hearing about an incident involving me that took place while in middle school.

I remember telling mother this story, but I do not remember telling you.

Would you mind sending me this story as you remember telling it to another teacher... in an email?

I'm curious to see how it was retold.

Also click on the following link to a new blog I've started; ?PURGATORY~(6!9)~DIALOGUE?

DEAR PRETTY BOY SUNDAY: DIVISIONS WITHIN THE CORINTHIAN CHURCH

Tell me if you see anything odd about the picture of me and you taken when I was living in Jacksonville, Florida.

Why this picture posted so large to my blog baffles me. It should have been no larger than the others..?

Love you,

Jim Ed

Into the last good fight I'll ever know

Live an die on this day

James- The last few weeks have been a whirlwind traveling around the state encouraging Georgians to get out and vote for Jason. But I wanted to take a minute to tell you about his better half, Kate. I’ve had the privilege of joining Kate many times on the campaign trail. As a mother and teacher, she cares deeply about education and understands the challenges Georgia families are facing. She and Jason are wonderful parents to our great grandchildren. As a former First Lady myself, believe me when I tell you that Kate will be a phenomenal First Lady for our state. But this race is incredibly close and we need your help to win. Will you help me elect Jason our next governor and Kate our next First Lady?

Do not get me wrong.  I will be voting for Jason Carter.  

Would vote for Mike Avery Ross had I still lived in Arkansas.  The fact that he would have been a hometown boy (more on this story involving Sunday school teachers of mine First United Methodist Church of Prescott, Arkansas another time) or even blood related (his mother is cousin to my father plus those these two sharing a cousin who killed his father while hopping up and down on a mattress thrown on top of pop) would not be the reasons.

I do understand that one campaigns from black and white; one governs from grey.

But ghee whiz!

The one in Arkansas voting against "Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Act"; in other words, throwing his cousin, me,  under the yellow school bus in order to further his political ambition.  

I would call this, along with Methodist Mike Ross being Pro Amendment Two,  against gun control laws, being a proponent of "Domestic Violence".  

With Arkansas being in the top ten states with women murdered by men, I have to ask;

would me having stayed in Arkansas, a state redder than Georgia, have made life happier/easier for anyone had I married one of these women instead and starting breeding

...MORE...

 "Pro-Lifes"?

Really!

Tougher laws against domestic violence the "right" answer...again?!

The other one in Georgia, although for "Gay's Right to Marry", selling out to the Baptist voting for the "guns everywhere act"; Baptist churches seeing this as them having more autonomy.

As long as they don't bring these guns inside the perimeter, I guess I'm okay with it.  Maybe they are having women problems outside the perimeter?

Who knows!
