Another appropriate topic rodav tor our area was C buck Swtndofl 4 discussion of prejudice a on of which almost all ot\.s human beings are guthv. whether we are aware ot rt or not It s not like we make a choice to feel that was it s almost always something that happens emotlonallv before we are old enough to stop and analyze t After coming to this uounts I svas thankful that m? first sooologv class began with a discussion of the "WE" group and the TMF.Y" group We are each horn into a "WE" group and we all have a tendenuv to distrust members of those other "THEN groups <(>t uoursc members of each of those THEN gr< ups consider theirs the W E. group ) F\ cn though I learned sears later that nrs first soetofugv profesvo' was at least at 'he nmei a rietnbei of the Communist Parts in this country, the < Pt S A I base to gtse him credit lor teaching me some vers important basic truths about groups' And. I am SO thansful that God gradually turned me arourjj from m\ childhood fear and prejudice toward one, of the groups I had neve' had a chance to know, to my present PRIDE! in my own Indian family, aitd in the positive accomplishments of all American Indians, here and elsewhere < )ne of the main reasons one group is afraid of other groupsis power Either thev have the power that we do not have, but want, or we are li ving to keep them from gaining the power that we have at the time Smce coming to this county. I have seen a jx>wer shift in some organi/ationsfrom whneto non-white I wish we could all learn to SH ARE power and responsibility, no matter which ethnic group we were born into, or how any of us looks or talks As I keep sharing from time to time. I am no longer the kind of pacifist who believes we must have peace at am prtcc But I m still a peace: maker who wants to encourage people to irv to understand one another As I tried to sav in my "Mobile Homes ' poem, we are all N F.RN Ml.C H alike on the inside1 And I am convinced that the ONE who created ATI of us loves EACH of us equally' PEOPi.E TO PRAY FOR I am thank till to report that my fnend. and my daughtc: s mother-inlaw. "Miss Elsie Hunt, is improving But she had some difficult times with her runaway heartbeat, as well as her ear ar.d throat pain For nearly two weeks she was in progressive care in two hospitals Southeastern at Lumbcrton and Chike in Durham It seems strange to attend Branch Street United Methodist Chur.h without her there I know that she and others who are recovering from illress or injure would appreciate our prayers And my heart goes out to the family of Shana l.ockle-ar ot'He/ekiah Road, who lost her life in a collision involving a tractor-trailer That kind of accident still triggers an emotional reaction from me. after 24 and 1/2 years When 1 was in Montana in the lsb?0s, a girl who had just graduated from high school was killed in a collision with an "13?wheeler as they call those btg trucks out there In that case. I had gotten to know her mother, because she had earlier taken me to a weekly computer ciass at the very high school I had attended during World, W ar 11 I long ago learned to respect all kinds of large trucks But I'm glad it was possible lo get over my petrify ing fear of being on the same stretch of highwav along with one of tfiem When 1 m waiting at a stop sign and 1 see one comifig. I gladly wait until it passes even though it may delay my errand or trip by a nunute or more Let's remember to keep in our prayers ail.families who are going through the trauma of having" foSR'a loved one to death or to drugs alcohol, or some other tragedv IRAQI,EI.ECTIOSS We surelv need to be in pfikijf'tor the election in Iraq don't we. whether or not we were in t'Svdr of getting involved in that wan1 As I've said before. 1 also believe that we need to pray for the souls of Saddam Hussein and his Ba'athist henchmen It looks to me as though the reason our country supported the Ba aihists several decades ago was to keep the Iraqi Communist Party from gaining control I believe that they ended up getting support from the Soviet Union, and that they could be receiving support from Putin and Russia right now Did you notice that a lot of Russians moved out of Iraq prior to each of the past two wars there'1 Of course this does not seem to lit the recent report that a member of the Iraqi Communist Party has been held by "insurgents But. according to my studies, the KGB and GRU-controlledlSovict regime fine-tuned their methods to become "masters of deception " If you are one who believes that Communism was a threat to free societies like ours in the past but is no longer active, note what former KGB chief Vladimir Putin was determined to do to preset^ neighboring Ukraine from electing a president who was not affiliated with the old regime Some people even believe that he was involved in poisoning that candidate to eliminate him as a contender Perhaps poisoning has not been involved in rigging Russian elections (including Putin's re-election), but other candidates have been eliminated one way or another Also, look up Communism on the Internet At least one of the web sites is attempting to gain new Communist members here in this country We also need to pray for the new I kraiman president, as well as for Putin, and for all who still call themselves Communists along with "former" Communists around the globe , Speaking of prejudice. I used to just wnte off all Communist leaders as evil people Now I believe that most, if not all. of these leaders who are currently in power, were subjected to some kind and degree of brainwashing, likely early in life, in order to activate them for their mission of destroying religion and replacing cultures and governments around the world Bad,Bad Credit Record Credit Problems!
