Places In My Past
The Tasty Freeze, corner of N. Bridge Street & W. Front Street, Grand Ledge, Michigan
J & J’s Restaurant, Hwy 22, Gleason, Tennessee
Bubba’s Bagels, N. Highland Ave, Jackson, Tennessee
Davis-Kidd Booksellars & Café, North Parkway & N. Highland Ave, Jackson, Tennessee
Growing up, these places were an incredibly huge part of my life. Good memories. No, GREAT memories. It was not mainly “the food” at these places that made them so important. It was something else.
Walking down to .. hanging out at The Tasty Freeze was something to do with friends.
Going to J & J’s was a great place to go for good food. It was also a great place to go to feel comfortable .. to feel special. Junior and Joyce ALWAYS made you feel special! Both examples of how we should be as humans.
Bubba’s Bagels … amazing food! It was a great place to gather with friends. In a sense, it was like “Cheers” … where everybody knows your name. It was a place for people to gather to play games, talk, laugh, play music, be a community.
Davis-Kidd … It was a place for the whole family to go and chill. They had a great selection books and other media. They had a café where you could enjoy freshly prepared meals. AMAZING Fruit Tea was served. This was also a great place to gather with friends, hang out, chill.
Why am I pointing these places out?
These were places to be with people .. like-minded people I suppose .. people to interact with in ways that did NOT involve hate-filled arguing or finger pointing. Emotions where shared and felt .. in person. People got to know people, as people, as the varied group of individuals they are.

Today, I stood in my kitchen
Today, I stood in my kitchen .. I broke down and cried.
Every moment, I fear for my son’s safety. I want to protect him. I know I can not protect him from “the world”. But, I want to protect him. I could not protect Lucenda from an “incurable” auto-immune disease she was born with that lead to her death. It was horrible watching her slip away before my eyes. I fear what my son will encounter “out there” in the world. I fear what the world is, let alone what will be down the road.
Today, I stood in my kitchen .. I broke down and cried.
I have seen so much hatred from people who claimed they “cared” about us. I have been the subject of numerous direct attacks because I will NOT accept lies to support an “agenda”. I have been called a malicious, hateful person … because I refuse to step aside and let lies and hatred prevail.
Today, I stood in my kitchen .. I broke down and cried.
My heart hurts for the parents who have these fears .. PLUS the fears for their children’s lives just because of their skin color. I looked at my “friends list” recently. My friends are as colorful as the rainbow … some are hard-headed, some are foolish, some are amazingly gifted, some are lovingly caring, some are clueless, some are all the above and more.
Today, I stood in my kitchen .. I broke down and cried.
We are called to to “GO and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Jesus said that the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” And the second is “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Seek the Truth
One consistent thing I was taught growing up: Seek the truth.
In school, I was taught to read and study.
In church, I was taught to read and study.
In various jobs, I had to read and study.
Research. Learn. Grow. Expand.
When something is “shared” on Social Media. Yes, I research. I look for the truth. When something posted is contrary to truth .. even partial truth, I call it out. I do not sugar coat.
I have been called hateful and malicious and spiteful. While those calling me these things were displaying the very actions they were assigning to me.
I have used the term “christian” with a lowercase c to describe some people recently. People who use the word to defend their actions.
Being CHRIST-like does not involve hatred, or malicious actions. If you put a man, a party, a group, an ideal, a “claim” above demonstrating the Love of CHRIST, you are NOT CHRIST-like. We are called to LOVE one-another .. to support one-another.
Also, God created us each in HIS image. HE gifted each of us with different and special skills and talents. We are PARTS of the body. You cut off part, the body is NOT complete. When the organs of the body do NOT work together for the GOOD of the body, the body does NOT function properly … and can lead to death of the body.
Medical professionals are trained. Law enforcement personnel are trained. Military personnel are trained. A cook is trained. A farmer is trained. EACH of us have our areas of expertise. NONE of us have ALL the answers.
We Are Not GOD!
