DO YOU SEE COLOR?

This was written by a black gentleman in Texas And is so funny. What a great sense of humor And creativity!!!

When I was born, I was BLACK,
When I grew up, I was BLACK ,
When I went in the sun, I stayed BLACK,
When I got cold, I was BLACK
When I was scared, I was BLACK ,
When I was sick, I was BLACK ,
And when I die, I'll still be BLACK .

NOW, You "white" folks....

When you're born, you're PINK,
When you grow-up, you're WHITE ,
When you go in the sun, you get RED,
When you're cold, you turn BLUE,
When you're scared, you're YELLOW,
When you get sick, you're GREEN,
When you bruise, you turn PURPLE,
And when you die, you look GRAY.

So who y'all callin'
COLORED folks?

Temple 2008

Here is the site for this years Temple. I had such an amazing experience last year. We lost two important family members (Rob's Grandpa D.O. and his Grandma Katherine) and my friend Wendy lost her Dad. Rob and I intended to head out to the Temple several times throughout the week but did not make it there until Saturday. Doesn't really sound too interesting until I add the fact that it was Grandma's Birthday and neither of us realized it. Rob and I went our separate ways. I wrote (it is customary to write on the Temple) a poem for Wendy's Dad and poured my heart out to Grandma and Grandpa on a pillar near the entrance. It was very emotional and when Rob found me I was sitting on the ground next to the pillar I wrote on crying. He said "you are such a gentle soul" and I cried even harder. The next night the Temple was burned to the ground. The crowd was silent for awhile and then a wave started. But not the usual wave, this was a sound wave. The most spectacular part was the small embers which appears to be floating away from the Temple as it burned. Rob and I looked at each other and said "look at all the messages floating to God". I hope this years Temple has the same or an even better effect!

The picture on my first blog "beautiful" is a shot of the 2007 Temple.
