What a Day This Was…
Like many of my friends that did not make the trek to DC, I sat glued to my television set today watching tearfully and joyfully as history passed right before my eyes. I was most impressed by the words that our new commander-in-chief (who was elected by ‘the content of his character and not by the color of his skin’), pointed us back to the importance of character and values as we together face the challenges that affect us all.
I like the fact that he challenged us all to put away childish things like greed and selfishness and replace them with mature traits like generosity and selflessness.
As we open our eyes to what that might look like in our city, I challenge you to take a drive from the east to the west and the from the north to the south and notice where there might be pockets of greed and selfishness and if you notice as I have that there are differences, may we be led to take ACTION that will demonstrate generosity and selflessness for all of Waco.

Yep, He was elected by the content of his character alright. The color of his skin was no problem to white folks who voted for him since he is not a getto O.G. What does he have in common with black folks other than skin color(High Yellow) and African Heritage (Very Recent). Absolutely Nothing-Nada-Zip. But, I’m going to pray for my President, He is going to need all the help from above he can get.
