Merry Christmas

Christmas is tomorrow. Why did I have to grow up? As a child the day before Christmas would be filled will anticipation, awe, and wonder. Colored lights seemed brighter, music was everywhere and the whole world as I knew it was decorated and bursting with holiday spirit.

The surprise and anticipation is gone. Most present you receive as adults you buy yourself. You don't have large family Courier & Ives holidays. Not sure if those were ever real. Why is this? Maybe  because everyone is scattered all over the country. Some people may be absent because they must work now that many businesses still operate on Christmas day. Oh where did Christmas go? Faith Hill song it aptly in her song "Where are you Christmas" which is one of my favorite Christmas songs. If you haven't heard it, I recommend listening to it.

You may not have a greeting card or Hallmark Channel Christmas, however have a MERRY CHRISTMAS, be safe if you are traveling and above find peace and love.

A Voice for the Voiceless

Currently I am reading a book written by a man who was working in Ferguson, Missouri on public relations at the time of the shooting of Michael Brown on August 9, 2014 and the riots that followed. I had the occasion to hear the book's author Devin S. James speak in Kansas City October of this year. His presentation was enlightening and am enjoying the book so far. I want to wait until I complete it before making my evaluation of it. I think it is a good read for anyone interested in current events, politics and racial relations.
