I BELIEVE

STOP, DO NOT BACK OUT OF THIS BLOG UNTIL YOU GET WHAT I GOT FOR YOU!!!! I know you might not be used to country music, but I think you will understand if you look at the video. This video addresses alot of social issues, such as, race, faith, and relationships. Sometimes we have to get out of our comfort zone and step into someone else's shoes to fully grow as a person. We will meet alot of people in our lifetime, and you never know what impact that person will have on you. So, you better get the lesson, because you never know when there is going to be a TEST...

This video is off the chain to me, because I love how the young white boy befriends this older black man in a rural area. He is taught all about the bible and how to fix cars and fish and to just respect an older person and become a GENIUNE FRIEND. Who would have thunk it, that they would become so close that the man's death would effect him so much. So, right there you know that his family taught him to accept all kinds of people, no matter the color. I don't even think he saw the man's color as being any different from his. Racism really has no place in this society, we see it first hand everyday though. The Jena 6 case just breaks my heart and spirit, how in 2007 they can still be so closed-minded.

I was talking to my new sister Sha and we were talking about faith and belief in God. Sometimes we have to be reminded that no one has all the answers, but we have to just Believe things can get better, and they will. In our conversation we both discovered that by talking about what problems we had, we were able to see the BIG PICTURE and discover it wasn't so BAD AFTER ALL!!!! Having someone else tell you how they dealt with things and their struggles, will give you some insight into how things CAN BE. I want to say again, it is very important to bounce things off people, because they are not directly involved they can see the situation clearer sometimes...They are not coming into it with their emotions...Sometimes, emotions can cloud our visions. Step away from it, and assess it from the outside and alot of times you can come to a better understanding.

I know I have been accused of being a VERY OPTIMISTIC person, and to one in particular, that's seems POLLYANNA'ISH...But, I always see the glass half full, THAT'S JUST MY WAY...I am a REALISTIC person, but I still think no SITUATION IS UNWORKABLE... With that being said, I want to know what things you are believing God for right now...

Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have certainly established themselves as a force in country music. And, according to the Great American Country website, the group has since sold 28 million albums and been named CMA Entertainer of the Year four times. They are one of the most consistent country music headliners today. They've also sponsored race cars, appeared on the front of Corn Flakes boxes and pioneered a torched up brand of honky tonk music that brought the bars into a much more aggressive sonic place.

The black lady with the hat in the video is my aunt's friend, I used to be around her alot when I was younger. She now does several commercials but, this is the first time I have seen her in a video. The video was taped in Nashville, so how fitting for me to showcase them today. This is where they make their home, of course.
