I went to church; I have been raised in the church as long as I can remember, before I was even thought of. My mother had grown up with a on a strict, and loving Christian foundation. It was always fun to go to church, everyone would get all dolled up, and be as sharp as they possible could. People would catch the Holy Spirit, and I would laugh not knowing what a serious connection it was between god, and that person. The older people of the church would scold and direct the children not to laugh, because those people were only “Getting happy” and they were in the safest arms that ever could hug them. As I got older and started to develop a personality I found truth in other religions, Buddhism was interesting, I start to learn more about the old age religions, and even look up information on Islam. I believe the more I know each religion, the more I could understand, and gain knowledge from them as a whole. I have always had a fascination with history, and investigating the past has become one of my hobbies.<br />I have found out that Christianity is not the religion of my ancestors, and have learnt that we were controlled to take on the religion of the slave holders. I have also learnt that in pre-colonial times we were spiritual people, and believed that we were connected to the earth as a whole. That is what I believe I have great respect for the Christian religions, all religions for that matter, but I also believe that we have to be in touch with our inner selves to become better people. We have to be our own gods, and allow ourselves to be open and, willing to new vessels of power. We must communicate to each other that we are not about destruction, and anguish, but our about peace and a better being. We must learn to accept, and tolerant other people choices, and other people decisions on the journey of life. I once heard “You have to take the good with the bad,” which means that you cannot just experience one side, and be genuinely happy.<br />So we must learn about each other, and educate each other, only them will we start to accomplish the goals that we have been working so hard for we have to reach, and continue to reach, until are arms are tried, and we are drain from the fight. We must continue to fight we must continue to strive for a better future, I took a visit to my little cousin elementary school the other day, and I felt a joy, I seen the future, and knew that they were going to be a bright future. We must educate and invest in education that’s the only way out of the mess that we are in now.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5757692237282404422-5636147010524447956?l=cccstudentnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lamar Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14466533949754985358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757692237282404422.post-42436321654360099972008-11-02T21:01:00.000-08:002008-11-02T21:06:18.523-08:00Harambee News Network (HNN) launches new statewide California Community College News syndication site.
