Six teens drown in Louisiana river - US news - Life | NBC News

One of the

 First United Methodist Church of Prescott, Arkansas' 

many picnics held at nearby

 Lake Greeson.  

Even ended up being one of May Kay Stewart's candle lighters for her wedding. 

Six teens drown in Louisiana river - US news - Life | NBC News#.VVQcVPlVhBc: SHREVEPORT, La. — Six teenagers from at least two families drowned in the Red River in northwest Louisiana after they stepped off a ledge from shallow water into a 18-foot sinkhole Monday, fire officials said.

Shreveport Fire Chief Brian Crawford told the Shreveport Times that the victims, aged 13 to 18, had drowned while trying to save each other. Only one, a 14-year-old, was rescued.

Marilyn Robinson, a friend of the families, watched helplessly as the children, five boys and a girl, went under, the Times reported.

"None of us could swim,"

the 38-year-old told the newspaper.

"They were yelling 'help me, help me. Somebody please help me.' It was nothing I could do but watch them drown one by one."

Assistant fire chief Fred Sanders said it was believed the dead included three brothers from one family and a sister and two brothers from another.

The families were in recreational area of the Red River, Sanders said. The park is a popular picnic and fishing area and some people go wading.

of 

Black Kids Have Low or No Swimming Ability

While 40 percent of white children were found to have low or no swimming ability, the same was true for nearly 70 percent of black children, according to a recent survey by USA Swimming, the governing body of competitive swimming in the United States.

Dear Sister Rena,

As I'm typing this email to our Sister Rena, I'm finding it hard believing our Sister Rena actually doing it... again!

And as I'm typing this email to our Sister Rena, it's important that our Sister Rena understands that this email is also maybe actually not being typed to our Sister Rena but actually being typed to someone 

else...instead...that is not our Sister Rena.  Maybe, even maybe, many more inclusive of our Sister Rena.

As I'm being led to believe, until proven otherwise, that our Sister Rena is still the current secretary at the First United Methodist Church of Prescott, Arkansas where I was born and raised the first 

eighteen years of my life with the help of that very same church but having a different secretary not our Sister Rena during those very same eighteen years....AT LEAST.... if not actually fifty-three years 

and still counting...of that church's history;  will our Sister Rena be able understanding that this email, although addressed to our Sister Rena, actually being typed to others instead maybe not just our 

Sister Rena..?

Will our Sister Rena be able understanding...any of this...at all?

 It's also important that our Sister Rena be able understanding that I am also,

TRYING...REALLY...HARD...BEING,

careful with my choice of my words before such delicate Christian ears.

Although...WITH... anyone having...AT LEAST... half a brain, 

should be obvious by now that I'm actually thinking:

"STUPID CHRISTIAN CUNT;"

AND... 

not...JUST...our  

"RENA."

Sister Rena,

Did you, or did you not, get an  email from me address to you regarding your previous request asking me removing your email address from this list of mine?

If you did not receive this email for whatever reason,  try hard understanding this changes a lot.   Please do let me know whether or not you have not received any of what are now three emails.  Others are 

consistently claiming they have been having trouble receiving their emails, or at least claiming not to be receiving mine; so the story goes...

Hence,  also another very good reason,  that would explain why I'm needing witnesses.

Is our Sister Rena...now...maybe understanding this?  Some of it...hopefully?  None of it?  Maybe because she not even opening them?   Even if these emails maybe just needing to be redirected to the 

proper recipients?

Until proven otherwise, our "SISTER RENA"...STICKS; meaning something else!

If you did receive this email from me, here's a section of it repeated but this time having some sections expanded...NOT...JUST... for our Sister Rena the current secretary of the very same church...AGAIN... growing up with the first eighteen years of my life; to read.

However, I am very good with conjectures and becoming even better with practice; having been isolated even more so due to a drug addiction since attempting my own drug addiction intervention. 

Although we will never know the truths completely without all the facts, which we will never have, this does not have to be, or ever should be, a reason not trying.

Now that I'm thinking about it, would actually like to have...BROTHER (oh the irony here) FISH... email address; if he has one.  Or... an address able reaching him by email even if this has to continue being through our Sister Rena as his current secretary or whatever title it is they have given our Sister Rena.  

Again, I'm just assuming our Brother Fish does not have an email address because of something my mother said to me once during  one of our many, many, long distance phone conversation attempts at maintaining some resemblance of a loving mother/son relationship.

~(!?!)~

I am...WANTING...to inquire more into how my mother handled this request of Rev. Fish, made on my behalf, calling Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church a while back. What was...ACTUALLY...told to Rev. Fish by my mother on my behalf? What attempt was...ACTUALLY... made calling Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church on my behalf?  Who did Rev. Fish speak...WITH...at Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church on my behalf?  What...WAS...asked of Glenn Memorial UMC on my behalf? What did Glenn Memorial UMC...HAVE...to say on my behalf?  What was told to my mother...AFTERWARDS...about this...ATTEMPT...on my behalf?

I'm learning every day the hard way just how little I even know my own mother; my whole family actually.

I'm...DESPERATELY...needing witnesses; on... OUR... behalf!

John 5 

KING JAMES VERSION

30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

This bible verse also works the same with what we do not hear!

SIMPLY JIM"S KING JAMES REVISED VERSION

We can of our own self do nothing: as we sense, we judge: and our judgement is just; because we seek not our own will, but the will of our collective unconsciousness which hath cometh before us.

If we bear witness of ourselves, our witness is not true.

There is another that beareth witness of us, and we know that the witness which he witnesseth of us is true.

In other words, whether or not Einstein, along with Carl Jung among all the rest, approve of our  methods (including our militant atheists); this is still physics!  And that's all there is to it.

You simply do not conclude until understanding.  Once understanding; you do not judge.

Well,  what can...WE...do; it's impossible to be neutral on a moving train?!  Right?!

Unless you know something I do not know;  GOD, AND ONLY ONE GOD, IF TRULY INDEED THERE IS ONE, WOULD BE "aBeL".. THIS...indifferent.

Anything less than this is cheating!  Nothing more than personal gods.  And we will have as many of those as there are people hiding behind one.

Like a told Assistant Pastor Rev. Josh Amerson of Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church here in Decatur, Georgia located on the campus of  secular Methodist Emory University during  our "time for corageous universitites" it's prebyterian elders president wanting to believe himself fulfillling  this role as a leader;

"If  you guys are going to insist on continuing to believe in a God your way, then I have no choice but accepting the rights of those halfway around the world from us and all those in between  believing in a god however way they are feeling it necessary for them needing to believe in a god."

Then after Rev. Josh implying he was "OKAY WITH THIS" through the use of body language only as I was digitiallly recording our meeting, me shooting that smirk on his face back into it's proper place by quickly following up with; 

"INCLUDING SEVENTY-TWO VIRGINS WAITING FOR NINTEEN DEAD PILOTS SOON TO BE ARRIVING!"

I wish you lived next to Emory Campus like I do so you could have witnessed and still able witnessing all the contruction on the campus of Emory University.  

Mark 9:1New International Version (NIV)

9 And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”

There is no doubting,  Nine-eleven has been very good to Emory University and it's current Presbyterian Elder President by association only.  

And there is only one way James Wagner could even be able holding  two conflicting thoughts at the same time and still able functioning (his words);  that's why his wife, our "LITTLE DEBBIE SNACK CAKES", is our "COWARDLY LION'S"  "SEASONED PROFRESSIONAL CHRISTIAN EDUCATOR; making up the PR difference.  

Sister Rena,

It's not entirely my fault your story is...NOW... such an important part of my story; a mental health issue you could call it.  

And I should have every rights telling our stories, singing our songs, to any and all willing to listen and/or read; the best I'm "ABEL" figuring out how.  And it's requiring me having to be creative how I go about this

Even willing dying trying.

Just because you do not like hearing our stories; not the same as saying you do not need hearing your story...now... among them.  And refusing is unwise anywhere, anyhow, anytime,  BY ANYONE; as 

everything  is pathology including indifference.

Mark 1:25New International Version (NIV)

21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, 24 “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!”  26 The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.

Unless God be made the Eternal and not two or three.

"EVERYTHING THAT WE SEE IS A SHADOW CAST BY THAT WHICH WE DO NOT SEE."

~(Martin Luther King, Jr.)~

Rena,

When I was a child growing up in that rural mill town of Prescott, Arkansas; the city had been told they had to integrate the city swimming pool.  The city of Prescott chose shutting down the swimming 

pool instead of letting the blacks having it;  when un"ABEL"  sharing.  And I never will forget that day, while swimming in a smaller pool at our First United Methodist County Club of Prescott, Arkansas,  

one of the Nassar twins telling me that the blacks had been given a choice between having their own pool or basketball courts instead.

"BULLSHIT!" I said.  "I'VE SEEN THOSE BASKETBALL COURTS! NO WAY THEY WOULD HAVE CHOSEN THEM OVER A SWIMMING POOL!"  

These were the basketball courts once near, maybe even now,  our current  Middle School of Prescott, Arkansas.   We saw them every time I went with my mother picking up our maid L.B. Hopkins.  There 

were obviously good reasons for the projects having been built so close to the Middle school as well.   

EVERY DAY SOMEONE IS DYING FOR OUR SINS SO THAT WE MAY LIVE:  INDIFFERENCE; THE NEUTRAL SYSTEM?

These projects was where L.B. began living after her husband died.   And it bothers me remembering all these years later, the indifference shown  to L.B. and her family by my very own family and tribe. 

The last thing my mother remembering L.B. doing for us;  ironing my sister's wedding dress not long before she dies but after having already been diagnosed with the cancer.  The last thing I remember 

L.B. doing for us; her son Ben.    I will never forget how sharp and handsome he looked in his navy blue soldiers uniform that day me and my mother came to the hospital to see L.B..  How polite he had 

been to me and my mother as they talked briefly; Ben having stepped away from his mother's side greeting us as we entered their  room.  Then the two of us quickly leaving after telling L.B. good-bye one last time.

What if L.B. had died!  How could one even tell?

Rena,

This is our story.

1 John 5:1-6

New International Version

(NIV)

 

Faith in the Incarnate Son of God

5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.





6 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%205:1-6

 

 

John 15:9-17

New International Version

(NIV)

 

⁹ “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. ¹¹ I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. ¹² My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends if you do what I command. ¹⁵ I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. ¹⁷ This is my command: Love each other.

James W. Wagner, PhD, an award-winning teacher and scientist, became the 19th president of Emory University on September 1, 2003. Born and reared in Silver Spring, Maryland, Dr. Wagner earned his bachelor"s degree in electrical engineering in 1975 from the University of Delaware and a master's degree in clinical engineering in 1978 from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In 1984, he completed his PhD degree in materials science and engineering from Johns Hopkins. Following a distinguished tenure on the faculty of Johns Hopkins, Dr. Wagner served as dean, provost, and interim president of case Western Reserve University.

Dr. Wagner has authored more than 115 publications and has served as editor or editorial board member for

several serial publications. His research interests and activities have stemmed in part from his early

employment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, where he developed quality­ assurance methods and performed failure analyses on medical devices. At Johns Hopkins his research focused on optical and microwave methods for sensing strains and displacements in materials and structures. In 2007, Dr. Wagner received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering and the Johns Hopkins Alumni Association. In the spring of 2009, he was elected as a Fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Wagner was honored to receive the President's Award of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators for Region III in the summer of 2011. In 2012, Dr. Wagner was awarded an honorary doctor of engineering degree from the University of Notre Dame. He was elected in 2012 as a Charter Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.

Throughout his administrative career, Dr. Wagner has worked closely with faculty, students, aiumni, and staff to enhance the undergraduate educational experience, grow research, and foster more effective partnership between the academy and local institutions, including government and industry. Out of a firm devotion to the ancient university mission of liberal education -- which he defines as mastering a discipline and developing a thirst for new knowledge -- Dr. Wagner has been able to forge collaborations among a diverse array of schools and programs, ranging from the arts and sciences to the professional schools. He also had gained significant experience in raising funds from private philanthropic sources. All of these notes resonated with the priorities of the institution in 2003.

As one of his first steps, President Wagner set in motion a campus-wide initiative to develop a clear vision statement intended to serve as the polestar for Emory's development over the next decade. Having achieved widespread and deep participation in this effort, he searched for and appointed a new provost and a new senior vice president for development and University relations to complete his leadership team. With those persons in place, the University launched a year-long strategic-planning process to serve as the basis for a comprehensive financial campaign.

Along the way, the president has won high marks for rolling up his sleeves and engaging very deeply with faculty, staff, and students -- occasionally rehearsing with student a capella groups, regularly meeting with faculty leadership and departments on matters of intense controversy -- seeking to involve the community In full and mutually accountable collaboration.

Reviving an Emory tradition, President Wagner has delivered the address at each of the baccalaureate services for graduating College seniors since his arrival at Emory. An elder in the Presbyterian church (in which his wife, Debbie, is a seasoned professional Christian educator), he finds particularly attractive Emory's blend of rigorous intellectual inquiry and ethical engagement.

Currently Dr. Wagner serves on the boards of The Carter Center, the Georgia Research Alliance, SunTrust Banks, and the Metro Atianta Chamber of Commerce. In 2009, he was honored to be appointed by U.S. President Barack Obama to serve as Vice-Chair of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues.

The Wagners have two grown daughters, Kimberly and Christine. Dr. Wagner's avocational interests include restoring antique cars and astrophotography.

Rev. Dr. P. Alice Rogers, Senior Pastor

Rev. Dr. P. Alice Rogers comes to Glenn Memorial following eleven years on faculty at The Candler School of Theology of Emory University where she served as Associate Professor in the Practice of Practical Theology and Director of the Contextual Education and Teaching Parish Programs. Her commitment to both the church and the academy led her to explore more deeply into the part contextual education plays in theological formation and enabled her to work closely with students preparing for ministry. Her publications include: Equipping the Saints: Best Practices in Contextual Theological Education (Pilgrim Press, 2010) and Contextualizing Theological Education (Pilgrim Press, 2008).

He claims, which he can no longer, that he knew nothing the day we first met face to face by accident; me stopping by Glenn Memorials office only wanting, having some questions about contextual theology as it relates to conceptualization of one's story and having a drug addiction myself, making an appointment seeing you.

Even said to Josh, in front of Sara your Communications Director,  "Why doesn't Bob refer to himself as Rev. Dr. Gary?  He could if he wanted to?  Not sure I want to trust asking spiritual advice of Rev. Dr. Alice after my experience with Bob Sr. ( Doctor of Theology and Master of Divinity) and his wife Janet?"

Did not get an answer to this question of mine.

And this is not even getting into the fact that they have a son, Bert, Jr.(Master of Divinity) majoring in psychology).

Even explained to Assistant Pastor Josh some of the stories about my father (M.D. having a full time housewife R.N) and our Methodist upbringings as my rights/justification seeking these answers from Glenn Memorial "United" Methodist "Church"; that this was me giving the Methodist Church a second chance.

What better church for me to use as a second chance than one located on the campus of a secular Methodist liberal arts and science university...?

Even said to Josh as the last words we exchanged that day, after him being the one suggesting we all three were needing to meet as there was obviously a lot needing to be talk about, after him being the one declining my request this meeting between the three of us taking place at my home, after him being the one declining my suggestion we hold this meeting in Glenn's sanctuary with faculty and students invited to listen in as I needing:

"Well, I need witnesses.  Will let you decide how brave you want to be."

Maybe this is what Glenn is afraid of...?

Even with a senior pastor having graduated Magna Cum Laude from Candler School of Theology...?

How can I learn the answers to these question without meeting face to face...?

He also had gained significant experience in raising funds from private philanthropic sources. All of these notes resonated with the priorities of the institution in 2003."

Someone needs reminding Emory's President, the Presbyterian Elder James Wagner, being "free from love of money", a "requirement" before able being "elected"  a  "Presbyterian  Elder",  not possible.  And definitely not possible as the "current" "President of Emory University", a "secular" "Methodist" "Liberal Arts and Science" campus.

"You don't scare me. I have two daughters!"

Also...

 James having two daughters with this wife of his who's a "seasoned" "professional" "Christian" "educator"   doesn't show much of an ability holding two conflicting thoughts at the same time and still able functioning... either.

"When it comes to money, we are all of the same religion." 

~Voltaire?

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make with the use of Emory's President James Wagner:

 Emory "UNIVERSITY" flipped flopped all over the place with...THIS ONE...exposing a fatal flaw.

 Different way of saying the same thing:

"God is a circle whose center is everywhere;  circumference no where."

There once was a fish.

He lived in the sea.

So I brought him to you.

Mother's Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Mother's Day is a modern celebration honoring one's own mother, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March or May. It complements similar celebrations honoring family members, such as Father's Day and Siblings Day.

The modern American holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, which now holds the International Mother's Day Shrine. Her campaign to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her beloved mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. Anna's mission was to honor her own mother by continuing work she started and to set aside a day to honor mothers, "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world". Anna's mother, Ann Jarvis, was a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues.

In 1908, the US Congress rejected a proposal to make an official holiday, among jokes that they would have to proclaim also a "Mother-in-law's Day". Due to the campaign efforts of Anna Jarvis, by 1911 all US states observed the holiday, with some of them officially recognizing Mother's Day as a local holiday, the first in 1910 being West Virginia, Jarvis' home state. In 1914 Woodrow Wilson signed the proclamation creating Mother’s Day, the second Sunday in May, as a national holiday to honor mothers.

ECONOMIC DETERMINISM: The 50 Richest Members of Congress — 112th : Roll Call

The 50 Richest Members of Congress

(2011)

1. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) $294.21 Million

   

• Assets

  $294.21 Million

• Liabilities

  $0.00 Million

• Change

  298.9% 

When McCaul first appeared on Roll Call’s annual survey of the 50 Richest Members of Congress in 2005, he was a wealthy guy, reporting a minimum net worth of about $12 million. 

His financial disclosure report now depicts a fortune worth almost 25 times that amount, making him the wealthiest Member of Congress, at least on paper.

McCaul ranked fifth among last year’s class of richest lawmakers, with a minimum net worth of at least $73.75 million, but has since risen to more than $294 million.

The lion’s share of McCaul’s wealth is held by his wife, Linda McCaul, the daughter of Clear Channel Communications CEO and founder Lowry Mays, and the Congressman’s dramatic rise in net worth in 2010 appears to be the product of generational wealth transfer.

A footnote to McCaul’s newest report noted that “certain assets” owned by his spouse were “acquired via a gift from spouse’s parents.” The accounts were not identified.

On his financial disclosure, McCaul listed a new asset — the Linda McCaul Descendant Trusts — owned by his wife that was valued at more than $50 million. According to his report, that trust was invested in several other family partnerships.

McCaul, likewise, added two trusts under the ownership of his dependent children, including one trust valued at $25 million to $50 million and another at $1 million to $5 million.

Another of Linda McCaul’s investment accounts also appears to have doubled in value, moving from a minimum worth of $25 million to a minimum of $50 million.

In 2011, Roll Call named McCaul as one of the wealthiest members of the United States Congress, surpassing then U.S. Senator John Kerry (D-MA). His net worth was estimated at $294 million, which is approximately 300% higher than it was in the previous year ($74 million). In 2004, Roll Call estimated his net worth at just $12 million. His wealth increase was due to large monetary transfers from his wife's family. Michael and Linda live in the city of West Lake Hills, Texas which is a wealthy suburb of Austin, Texas with their children, daughters Caroline, Jewell, Avery, and Lauren, and a son, Michael.
