I was sorry to hear about the death of Senator Edward Kennedy. May he rest in rest and rise in glory with Lord Jesus Christ.

I hope that ’something different’ turns out to be fulfilling and uplifting!

Interesting what you said. our pastor at our own church is leaving to go to Texas with his wife and small daughter and it has been quite a transition for us. I have come to realise that I want something different in my life also. Regards to your husband and baby.
God Bless!

Comment on Which Couple Is Interracial? by DreamyEyes

I see what you mean. There is a pretty good chance that Michelle Obama, like virtually all black people born outside of Africa since the 1700s (and probably as far back as the 1600s), has a white ancestor “in the mix”. It certainly makes her slightly different from her African contemporaries, for whom the chance of being descended from a white man or woman is much smaller. Yet I don’t think we need to look to the one-drop rule to guide our thinking about what makes a person—and here I’ll say ‘predominantly’—black.
I notice that people, and especially Americans, like to come up with easy-to-reference labels to describe their lineage. It’s natural, because at one point or another all of our fore parents were immigrants to this North American continent. We couldn’t expel those experiences from our collective consciousness if we tried.
More to the point, African-Americans do not have the luxury, like Caucasian people, of saying with certainty which African tribe they are descended from. We can make educated guesses, but as black people, how are we to know whether we are Twi or Mandingo, the way that our peers know that they are from English, Spanish, Portuguese or French descent?
We are like cut flowers, existing without a definite connection to our roots. No intimate knowledge of our lineage, our names, our creed, our traditions, no knowledge of exactly how we got here. We seem to be just fine with that. We’ve come up with a way to cope and move ahead. We just call ourselves black.

Hello and Welcome Back to blogging! I’m glad to know that you are OK. I’m sorry to hear that you ended up sick and in the hospital. I hope you did not have to spend too much time apart from your precious little baby girl. I did not know that you have sickle cell anemia. When I was pregnant I actually found out that I am a carrier of the condition. About 2 years ago I shared a room with a young woman (26 years old) who also had sickle cell anemia. It looked pretty rough, but through it all she was a super sweet person! Well, you and your family are in our (mine and Mr. B’s) prayers! Take care, stay well, and healthy too!
