FROHAWK'S, STUPID PEOPLE AND ICE

WE ARE ALL HOME NOW SECONDARY TO REPORTS THAT AN ICE STORM IS COMING. NO ICE YET.

LAST EVENING BENIAM GOT HIS HAIR CUT INTO A FROHAWK AT HIS REQUEST. HE WAS CONCERNED THAT "MISS LORI" LIKE IT AND APPARENTLY SHE DID. RYAN WANTED TO PUT GOLD CHAINS ON HIM AND ROLL UP HIS SHIRT SLEEVES. OF COURSE, HE ALSO WANTED TO TEACH HIM TO SAY "I PITY DA FOO". I TOLD HIM DHS MAY COME AFTER US IF WE DID.

AT DINNER LAST EVENING NOAH TOLD ME THAT THE GIRL HE LIKES AT SCHOOL CAME TO SCHOOL TODAY AND TOLD HIM, "I DON'T LIKE YOU. MY DAD SAID I CAN'T LIKE ANYONE BLACK." MY RESPONSE TO HIM: "I'M SORRY SON PEOPLE ARE STUPID." AFTER I REGAINED MY SENSE OF TIME OF PLACE, WE PRAYED TOGETHER, ME AND THE THREE BOYS. I DID THE BEST I COULD THEN TO TELL HIM ABOUT THE REALITIES OF RACISM. HE UNDERSTOOD ABOUT AS MUCH AS ANYONE DOES. I KNOW SOME PEOPLES RESPONSE TO ME, OR TO HIM, WOULD BE THAT HE'S NOT EVEN BLACK. TO THOSE PEOPLE, IN CHRISTIAN LOVE :) YOU ARE STUPID TOO. HE IS BLACK AND WHITE AND ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL. THERE IS NOTHING BAD IN HIM. CHRIST LIVES IN HIM AND THRU HIM AND WORKS THRU ALL THINGS AND ALL COLORS ARE HIS.
