Summer love, starts slowly. But as the summer nights last longer, so do the
feelings of love resonate in the air for young lovers. This is exactly where our
story begins. It all started near the end of August. I had just found out my family
was on our way, to packing up in a race to move to Toronto Ontario in just about
seven days. I had no idea, how much my life in Everett would have changed my
life forever.
There was this boy, of course there always is a boy. In highschool he seemed to
be the quiet type. You know the mysterious ones, that you look at in the corner of
your eye and tease. He barely exchanged glances back, and when he did I would
always flash a mischievious smile. Oh the glory days, when you get all dizzy from
the sensation of "crushes". I have never been able to clearly tell someone, when
I feel something for them, and this was definetly a case. We did as most people
do these days. We exchanged msn's and spoke nightly for hours. In the secret
quiet of the night, I finally got to know him. He was kind, and sweet, the type of
guy I never thought I would fall for. It just seemed right, if you know what I mean. I
always went for the angsty, bad boy basically the hottie in the leather jackets
leaning over their trans- ams. So what was so special about James. He was this
diamond in the rough. At first glance, almost dull. But as you looked closer, the
most brilliant color. He could make me laugh, he had one of the highest
intellects of anyone I had ever known, and the most captivating eyes. I remeber
looking in them, and feeling as if the dark brown pools could suck me in and
keep me there forever.
Our relationship to start, was that of a slow one. He went with walks with me,
humourously walking on the other side of the path from me. I remeber always
thinking, " When is this kid going to smarten up, and hold my hand." But everyone
has those sort of stories when they are young. From there on out every second of
the day, I could I would be spending the day with him. He was the one release
from the pressures of the hustle and the panic inside of my home. My parents
indecision to pick up our lives and move was to say the least exhuasting. I grew
nauseated as every day past, because what I knew what was to come was for
the worst.

Le Problème avec des Blancs – Translation of Jim Everett’s « The White Man Problem » by T. Wignesan
(Jim Everett, Mawbana Pleregannana, b. 1942 on Flinders Island, Tasmania, has had a chequered career and like almost all the aboriginal poets and writers in English of the first post-WWII generation, hardly made it over the primary school curricula. He’s a poet, playwright and essayist (short articles). Among the jobs he tried his hand at : telegram boy, factory hand, fisherman, merchant seaman, rigger, truck driver, public servant, aboriginal community worker and political activist. He was the national secretary of the National Aboriginal and Islander Writers Oral Literature and Dramatists Association.) T. Wignesan, Paris, December 15, 2016
Des aborigènes ayant lutté ne cessent de perdre.
L’homme blanc est venu pour répandre son fléau,
Ils ont apporté leurs droits que nous n’avons pas choisis.
Nous ne pouvons pas contrôler cette chose qui nous étouffe,
Malgré cet obstacle nous devons nous faire avancer
Et nous devons aussi rester fidèle à nos croyances dans leurs
évolution,
Dans l’espoir que l’attitude des blancs va se diminuer.
Des hommes blancs ne s’intéressent pas à comprendre nos
traditions,
Ils pensent que leur technologie est la meilleure solution pour
l’homme.
Et ils persistent à nous faire renoncer à nos coutumes ancestrales
Et leur ‘civilisation’ continue à nous nous faire soumettre.
Ils ne voient pas à quel point ils ont tort,
Etant aveuglés par la gloire et le pouvoir.
Leur pouvoir les empêche à distinguer le vrai but de la vie,
Ainsi créant le problème des hommes blancs qui nous rende
amers.
Les problèmes des blancs s’avèrent être l’avarice et le viol,
Et leurs dix commandements qu’ils désobéissent à volonté.
Pour quelle raison ont-ils des telles lois s’ils ne peuvent pas les
suivre,
C’est toujours le cas des tous les blancs.
La réponse devrait se trouver dans le fait de leur pouvoir,
Exploitant d’autres pauvres blancs sans défense parmi eux.
L’histoire de l’homme blanc se résume à : chacun pour soi-même,
Que le problème de l’homme blanc n’est guère confiné à la
couleur de sa peau.

John F Kennedy said this about the people of East Berlin, "the people of East Berlin are voting with their feet." Hence the land of "eloquent silence." Where people were so afraid of being turned into the state police. They were afraid to speak their minds in a socialistic form of government. For the fear of being turned over for questioning and integration by the communist security police.
In spite of what happened during the Vietnam generation. And in spite of what has been happening in Hong Kong and in Valenzuela young American people are favoring a socialist government. They are censoring freedom of expression as hate speech. Which includes any person who disagrees with you. Yes, racist speech is hate speech! And so is censoring freedom of expression by the term political correctness! Political correctness violates free speech!
Remember the days when it was not politically correct in the United States of America to wish people a Merry Christmas? Cities and town were prohibited from Christmas decorations. Especially if they were religious in nature! They even wanted to ban people from displaying Christmas religious decorations on their lawns. People used terms such as happy holidays and season's greetings and they still do today. Which is fine by me!
When I was younger, Winter break was called Christmas Vacation. And spring break was called Easter Vacation. That changed even when I was enrolled in the public school system. I was either in high school or junior high. When it first took effect. Choirs and bands could not sing religious songs.
The ten commandment and religious monuments were being torn down
by people, who wanted freedom from religion. Cites such as Everett Washington had to fight to keep our ten commandments. By designating it as an historical landmark.
People have the basic right not to believe in God if they want to! That's what freedom of religion is all about. People have the right to believe in God if they want to. People have the right to disagree, and I would like to keep it that way!
Love in Christ Jesus!

My friend Mary C took me to Edge Water Park,
in Mukilteo Washington. I overheard a couple
of people say, "some people buy toliet paper
every other day. And store 300 rolls of toliet
paper. " I interrupted them and said," storing
300 rolls of toilet paper is not storing. It is
hoarding." "You are right it is hoarding and
some people have 300 rolls of toilet paper."
My friend Sherlyn Z told Mary C. and me,"
At Cosco some people buy toilet paper,
and want to take some back. Cosco is
not accepting any returns right now.
There is a long line waiting outside waiting
to get in. They only allow people two hours
inside before they kick people out."
Mayor Cassie Franklin, Everett Washington
has ordered a lock down in our fair city.
Our Snohomish County executive has closed
all of the parks. My friend Mary C. won't be
taking me to either parks, or community meals.
Essential services and activities are allowed.
Citizens' are being requested to purchase
necessary items for them to stay in their homes.
Walking and exercising outdoors is still recommended
and allowed.
Evictions are placed on hold during our
Washington State's COVID-19 pandemic.
Researchers' are working together around
the clock to provide feasible vaccines for
this latest Angel of Death.
There is a furniture company in Mukilteo
having its work force sewing masks.
Recruiting tailors from other business
to come and work for them.
Stay home as much as possible and
keep living spaces aired out by
opening doors and windows.
Is what I recommend.
"Now is the time to come to the
aid of our country" and our
communities. This COVID-19
is a global angel of death.
Say your prayers to God
Almighty! To have this
angel of death pass over
the rest of us.
Love in Christ Jesus!

We are recommended to have our
shopping delivered to our place of residence.
Homeless people are not restricted, but being
recommend to seek shelter.
Our mayor is issuing white paper to people
involved in providing essential services.
Concerned Christian environmentalists truthfully believe God created the life forms inside the oceans, lakes and seas. He left mankind a legacy, he was suppose to be responsible for these marine life species. It is of utmost importance people listen to dedicated groups such as 350 Degrees.
Other countries and other municipalities. have either banned or restricted plastic shopping bags. But restriction and banning in the United States is accomplished by mainly municipalities. It is my prayer that the City of Everett joins them. I phoned Olympia's legislative hotline 1-800-562-6000. And left them this message banning those plastic bags city by city takes much too long.
Where did most of our plastic garbage end up? In other nations of the world, and they have had enough! They believe we created it and should be held responsible for its clean up. Those bags are non-biodegradable and are potentially harmful. They are rapidly filling up our over crowed landfills.
Haven't we had enough of turning our oceans, lakes and seas into human plastic garbage dumps? Because of human wanton carelessness, soon this planet will become inhabitable for even us. How many marine sea life must die? How many fish, and clams and other food sources of man, live on plastic?
People are becoming concerned about recycling of plastic. It is only possible if the products recycling labels have numbers one or two. Products can only be recycled once! You do not have to believe me, but you need to listen to 350 Degrees.
Our polluted oceans are rapidly becoming warmer leading to increased hurricanes, floods and tornadoes. Natural and man made disasters are occurring with more frequency and intensities. Covering a wide disaster range, and displacing its victims. Those people are facing their problems by faith in Jesus Christ. Neighbors and churches are helping each other!
Love as always!

"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man,
(or a righteous woman) avails much." James 5:16***
Believe me I consider myself far from being either worthy
Or righteous! But then again it is the righteousness of
Jesus Christ that is solely responsible for all of my
Answered prayers. It is because He is both the Son of
God and Son of Man. It is He is my intercessor between
God the Father and yours truly.***
For a while I have been faithfully partitioning Erin, our
Lovely and young Community Director for a New
Microwave oven and a new dishwasher. Eric came out
Once again and operated my dishwasher, which by the
Grace of Almighty God is still working!***
However, this time he took a picture of my deplorable
Condition of the rusty inside of my microwave oven,
With his phone's camera. Yes, there were: metal
Ones available, and some white ones that were too
Large and others that were too small! All of which
Were unacceptable! ***
Eric rolled a cart into my B13 apartment unit, and
Simply replaced it with a microwave oven from a
Vacant unit! Praise Be The Lord for answered
Prayer!***
"God bless us everyone!" Is the Christmas greeting
For Tiny Tim in the classical "Christmas Carol" by
Charles Dickens. It was the closing greeting Eric
And I gave each other as our afternoon's farewell
Parting. ***
In addition I would like to enclose Santa Claus'
Farewell December 23, 1823's opening line
"Twas the night before Christmas." Santa
Said, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a
Good night."***
In addition I would like to add the farewell greeting
Of Faith Lutheran's Church, Everett Washington.
Pastor Diane,"Go in peace and serve the Lord."
Congregation, "Thanks be to God A-Men."
"God be with you until we meet again." ***
Love in Christ Jesus!

If you can work, or go to school.
You will be allowed to. If not
how can you discover a non
spam or get rich scheme.
Promising to solve all of your
financial problems. "You can
earn $10,00 working from home."
I hung up my cell phone two
times.
Mary C. and I wanted to call
our mutual friend, Starshadow.
Who has self quarantined. But
on three occasions the robot
interrupted my personal my
Cricket cell phone. Because I
did not respond. They promised
to call me back within 42 or 48
hours. I will vote by disconnecting
the scam call.
Success at last! I was able to
call her and Mary dropped
off the sack lunch. Courtesy
of a Seventh Day Adventist
Church. Using the Central
Lutheran church's property.
The people did not know if
they would be back there
two weeks from last Sunday.
My friend Mary C and I will
not be attending any more
community meals in the
cities of Everett and Snohomish.
King and Snohomish Counties
are two of the most impacted
counties in the Evergreen State
of Washington.
Since all of the parks have been
shut down in Snohomish County
Washington. And mayor Cassie
Franklin has ordered Everett under
a lock down. President Donald
Trump is calling out the National
Guard for the State of Washington.
The State of Colorado has dispatched
300 doctors, nurses. and medical
assistants to the State of Washington.
And they have already arrived,
and are working.
The States of California, New York,
and I believe Illinois will also
have National Guards present
in their states as well.
Stay at home, stay safe.
Say your prayers, read your
Bibles and home devotionals
Attend your church's on-line
services if possible.
Air out your dwelling places,
if at all possible.
Love in Christ Jesus!

There have been non essential business in Washington State. Ignoring Governor Jay Inslee's order to close down. First they will be warned, and finally they could lose their business licenses. For continued noncompliance.
President Donald Trump and Congress approved a stimulus package for our nation. Checks should be arriving direct deposit by the IRS in about two to three weeks. His stay at home order has been extended to April 30th.
Online schools are becoming the new normal for students. Even students without home computers can use their teacher's lesson plans. And in some areas home computers are being delivered to k-12 students.
We should watch, wait and pray for the COVID-19 to pass over us. By vanishing into thin air.
Love as always,

I disintegrate into the cold room ,
I feel you inside me screaming to save your life and I know it's not my choice.. I begged him
not to drive us here.. and I sit here.. I see your picture on the screen , and I hold the tears
back, knowing it's my job to protect you, and I couldn't even protect me, and they march me
from room to room in my blue gown.. and I wish he would come marching in to save us.. I
wish he would change his mind from his selfish anger and pride.. and in that moment I pray
for his cold heart to warm... and I feel you moving inside of me.. and it's almost our turn my
love.. and I hold you , and I know I can't live through this... no... and you ask me..why
doesn't he love us? and I don't know... and they bring us into the room and they put the
needles in and the room is cold and I want to run and I want to go out there in the waiting
room and scream at you , but it doesn't make a difference , you already made plans for the
day after you threw us away... two precious lives away... beauty and love in a trash ...
without regret ... without a tear ... and I know .. and I lie there as they put us to sleep ... and
I know when I awake you will be gone.. my love.. a whole world full of lullabyes .. and the
doctor tells me to count to five and I watch the door.. one last time for you to come.. to save
us.. but you don't... and now .. I wake up .. And he is gone.. and I drive home ... with you,
but alone... never again will I answer the phone ...to someone who said their heart was
empty to me.. to throw away it all... everything that was beautiful.. and good.. and that was
a world of love all for you... May you forgive me ... Christian Mathew Tuthill... 9-10-08

Once I told a married Baptist missionary, I wanted to be one. Carol said, "Roxanne, Everett needs missionaries too." She meant I should bloom where I was planted. But we both were much younger then.
Transport myself into the 21st century. I am no longer a Baptist, but am a Lutheran. I am no longer middle aged, I am sixty-five years young. And I try my humble best. In spreading the good news of the gospel on the internet. Reaching more people than I ever reached before.
And I am no alone. Many poets and Biblically commentators are much better informed. Not to mention more talented than I ever will become. What we have in common? Our mutual love and respect for Jesus Christ. We are all part of the body of Christ. We are a part of his established church. We belong to him. He is the bride groom and we are his bride.
We need to bloom where we are planted. In many parts throughout the known world. The good news of the gospel is prohibited and restrictive. Many modern day disciples pay the ultimate price. Sacrificing both their freedoms and also their very lives. They have obtained a wonderful heavenly reception and rewards at the Beama seat of Christ. They will be reaping what they sowed.
There is an opened door for spreading the good currently available in the United States. I am composing this while there are no real restrictions.
I visited a Christian web site. I tried to post a bible verse on Facebook.
It was not allowed because some people might find it objectional. And they feel they have both the privileges' and the rights to restrict religious speech.
In the good old United States! I dearly love and pray for my beloved homeland.
Love in Christ Jesus!
