Hopefully you’re Christmas is going better than mine.
My laptop is in the shop and you know that’s my first love, I’m broke, Chicago is in the middle of an ice storm and soon to be snowstorm and who knows what the family is going to be on tomorrow when and if they show up. Whether or not my mother and her sister will get into it or whether or no I’ll fall out with my cousins. Whatever the case, I hope your holiday today will be exactly what you wished, hoped and prayed for.
The spirit of God with us is born each and every moment we reach out from within ourselves and form a bond with someone else.
By the way, just food for thought: since we have a black President, would it have killed ad execs to have shown some non-white Santas this year on the commercials?
Keep it uppity and keep it truthfully radical, JLL

Merry Christmas Uppity.
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. My Christmas prayer for you is that you have the peace that passeth understanding and that you continue to seek to understand rather than seeking to be understood. Courage and discipline is required. Respect results from self-control and reflective words rather than perceived entitlement. Love through the rough and up times. We all, pretty much, age out of acute angst. Embrace the passages through it all. You are blessed.
Keep on keeping it uppity!
