Happy Thanks Giving To My Friends

November 26, 2009 at 8:57 pm | In 20912686 | Leave a Comment

On this national day of thanks, I would like to proclaim my thanks unto God for granting me the opportunity to live a wonderful and exciting life and sparing me death in 2001. I consider each day from then are bonus days and my goal since then is to make sure that no day goes without me telling people what God can and will do for us when we turn our hearts and lives to him.

IN HIGHEST PRAISE

Last summer Katherine Mitchell planned and produced a five hour praise and worship service in the 41 st St area of River Parks in Tulsa,Oklahoma. This was a multicultural event designed to promote harmony among all races. She invited me to give my testimony of MY MIRACLE as written in chapter 58 of FULL CIRCLE WITH A TALE. This event was scheduled for September 19 and on September 11, on the campus TCC an event was held to formulate the program for service. This was an evening of food and fellowship and somewhat a rehearsal of the event. Rather than give my full testimony I gave an informal background talk as a sort if introduction and here is the link of video of that from YouTube. When the link becomes available of the Praise Service I will post the rest of the story here also.

At this time I am settled in for the winter in Monroe Geogia and plan to be here for about six months. While in this area my usual communication tools will continue. Some locations wireless signals are limited or non existant. If you don’t reach me leave a message and I will get back to you when I have signals.

If anyone in this area wishes to purchase a copy of FULL CIRCLE WITH A TALE, I would be delighted to meet you over a cup and deliver a signed copy to you in person.

During my stay in this area I hope to extend my geneology researh back beyond Nathan Joiner who moved from Washington County Georgia to Southeast Louisiana around 1800. His father, Nathan Joyner ( notice spell change) as far as we know was living in South Carolina. at that time. If anyone has any leads that could help in this search please contact me.

E.E.O.C.

June 15, 2009 at 10:23 am | In Full Circle with a Tale | 3 Comments

As a young man with an interest in doing something to make make an improvement in life, I began to emerge into action in the work place. At the same time the E. E. O. C. had been enacted and the Courts were demanding enforcement. Opposition was strong and I found myself being pressured to fight against the movement. At the same time I had been elected to my first small position of leadership as job steward.
It was at this time the long tenured all white staff were calling on me to help fight the enforcement of the E.E.O.C rules. The strength needed then, surely came from lesson I learned by the action of my mother in chapter seven of FULL CIRCLE WITH A TALE. At that moment a path was opened for me to slowly add my contribution to erase the injustice in the of field of employment.
