Song: A Change is gonna com by Wayne Brady
Oh death, where is your sting?
1 Corinthians 15:55
I realized that topics that make others uncomfortable are topics they don’t have to deal with. As a chronically ill person I’ve looked death in the eyeball more times than probably should be allowed. Once I beheld a coffin that housed my mother, death lost all power over me. I had life insurance at 20 years old and when that lapsed due to, you guessed it, illness, I secured burial insurance. I joke about when it’s gonna happen, how I’d like to go and what I want to wear. Seriously…did I just make you uncomfortable? You probably have a “Hold on Jesus, I’m almost through with my bucket list “ situation going on, so you probably can’t relate. I’m aware and compassionate and tactful about this topic around others because I understand everyone isn’t where I am. I’d like to believe I’d never be callous enough to someone to get over it or just move on because we’re all going to die or even if they just complied with whatever defines health these days they could live longer…..sounds nuts huh?…..
So with the racial unrest in our societal climate these days…why are people saying racism isn’t real? Or that the race card can’t always be played for every situation?
In psychology 101 we learned about controlled experiments, where two situations are exactly the same minus one variable…usually the variable is a sugar pill or a placebo….but what if the only difference or the “placebo” is my skin color?
Open for discussion,
But I don’t want to be so heaven bound I’m no Earthly good
