Ladies and gentlemen.  I'm on the soapbox again and it's not a good thing.

First of all I must say that the key to a successful relationship with anyone must start with a successful relationship with God!

We all want a worthwhile and fulfilling relationship at some point in our lives.  But you can't expect to meet Mr. or Mrs. Right if you can't acknowledge the Father in the morning and thank him for repairing your mind and body while you slept or for even waking you up at all!  For blessing you with a home, nourishing food, warmth (or cool air, depending on the season and where you live) and clothes.  And even though God blesses us with transportation to reach the job that He blessed us with, we complain about the monthly mortgage payment, the rising cost of groceries, utilities and clothing.  The car that we need that isn't the luxury SUV that we want.  And the employer that we feel doesn't pay us enough while we do almost nothing there!

We don't speak to God to express our love for Him, we don't thank Him for the seen and unseen dangers that we avoid daily.  He is the One who protects everything that we own, our friends, our families, our health, our minds, our bodies and our souls, yet we perpetually take him for granted!  Without Him, we would have absolutely nothing!

If we treated a lover this way, we would be kicked to the curb in one day!  You can't deny that at all!  But no matter how much we ignore and take Him for granted, He's always right there!

Now, believe me, I'm

I recently read an article facilitated by The Ohio State University’s Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity. titled, Whites Underestimate the Cost of Being Black. The basic observation of the research by Phil Mazzocco is “While there has been progress in making racial conditions in American more equal, there's clearly a lot more work to be done,” he said. “Blacks and whites are not experiencing the same America.”

As we approach this Independence Day, I began to ponder the “cost of being Black.”

Independence has a very different meaning for African Americans, and that leaves many of us ambivalent as we watch the fireworks and hear the marching bands and see the parades celebrating our nation’s independence. Freedom for Black Americans came more than 100 years after the Declaration of Independence, and still is characterized by huge gaps in the fruits of independence.

As we look back on our own independence, and evaluate our progress, we are not far removed from the indignities observed by Frederick Douglass , in his Independence Day Speech on the fourth of July, 1852. At that point in the history of our nation – he made this observation:

“At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed. Oh! had I the ability, and could I reach the nation's ear, I would today pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle
