Glory be to our Lord Christ Jesus! A pleasant good day to each and every one of you, who have graced us with your presence throughout our process of grief; we (Randolph’s family) want you to be cognizant that your noble efforts have not gone unseen and they are very much appreciated. We promulgate high accolades to the NYPD officers, Senator, Governor, and Mayor for their continual support and deeds of altruism. As it pertains to Randolph, our beloved, our beloved Randolph! He was a person that everyone who knew him could attest of him being dependable and enduring of fulfilling most of his promises; he was a person of quiet resolve (inner strength). Make no mistake of this quietness, in no way does it represents timidnes, however, on the …show more content…
One of my son’s wants me to inform you that one weekend Randolph visited them in Bachelor’s Adventure, this is on the East Coast of Demerara in Guyana and they were so elated to see him, as he was of them. They would play a game called (police and thief), they also would usually pick among themselves as to who would be the police and who would be the thief. None of them wanted to be the thief, they all wanted to be the police, and therefore, there were no thieves to catch; the game was over before it began. I share this with you that you may become informed as to the character Randolph embodied at a tender age. No! He was not perfect, however, he attributed to charitable societal morals over his mistakes, thus, his zeal as he matriculated in to the New York Police Department that he would save people from the (wrong-doers) of society. There are no measuring instruments to equivocate the pain that has been inflected upon the hearts of his family …show more content…
This is the virtue of Christ Jesus that we have felt and observed from you, thus again we say you are priceless unto Randolph’s family. Matthew 16:24-26 “24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?” Randolph picked up his cross and followed after Christ Jesus our Lord, but Christ Jesus does not tell everyone how we shall end on earth; we only know that the ultimate glory will be indescribable joy. It is common among us that occasionally we will look up into the heavens and observe a star falling, however, the opposite is also true, there are times we will observe a star rising in the heavens. Randolph has taken his place among the celestial beings and we have our trust in Christ Jesus that we will see him again. We are a strong family through Christ Jesus who gives us strength, henceforth, we forgive the individual or group that orchestrated this act and pray that he or they would give their lives to Christ Jesus; We forgive them or
To his admirers he was a courageous advocate for the rights of blacks, a man who indicted white America in the harshest terms for its crimes against black Americans; detractors accused him of preaching racism and violence. He has been called one of the greatest and most
“The cause he so ardently loved, so ably, patiently, faithfully represented and defended-not for himself only, not for us only, but for all the people in all their coming generations, till time shall be no more-that cause survives his fall, and will survive it. ”(Dr. Phineas D. Gurley)
Pastor Keith Tonkel, the evangelist, the author, the orator and the spiritual leader left this world to be with his lord at the age of 81. Wells United Methodist Church in Jackson confirmed that their pastor had breathed his last at 10.50 am on Wednesday. He was undergoing treatment for cancer. Pastor Tonkel’s long term service to the church was literally an inspiration to many. Dealing with the death of their Pastor seems a very hard exercise for the church and its associated agencies.
The reason why Grant, the main character in one of Mr. Ernest J. Gaines’s best work A Lesson Before Dying, does not attend Jefferson’s execution is because he is afraid of seeing his lack in acting like a man with dignity and more importantly, seeing what all black men around them have become reflecting in Jefferson. In the short 250-paged novel, we come across a few common issues that still linger in today’s society; racism and diffidence, both in which the two main characters -Grant and Jefferson- suffer from. Self-doubt and uncertainty in oneself was frequently detectable, even in the 1930’s; how the white people portrayed the black and how little they made them feel was a big cause of it. Sadly enough, Jefferson shows that he was never
Though Jefferson, a man wrongly convicted of murder and sentenced to death in A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines, has to stay strong, two men stand out as strong or even stronger, Grant Wiggins and Reverend Ambrose. The two men are some of the best leaders in the community but they have different strengths, and Grant is better able to help Jefferson meet his unfortunate death. Throughout A Lesson Before Dying Reverend Ambrose and Grant Wiggins are some of the best leaders in the Quarter.
In Langston Hughes short story Salvation, he reminiscences about his Auntie Reed’s churches attempt to “save” him at the age of twelve. The preacher holds a distinctive affair for the children which he calls “bringing the young lambs to the fold.” Each child sits on a mourner’s bench and slowly but surely each one stands, are received by the preacher, and subsequently saved by Jesus. Langston observes while all his peers stand up and are saved, while he sits and waits for Jesus to truly reveal himself; however, he is dumbfounded when another boy named Wesley blasphemes and is not subsequently struck dead. Langston had sat at the mourner’s bench for a considerable amount of time and was badgered by the grinning Wesley who sat proudly on the platform above.
The Mississippi never freezes over. I guess that’s why everybody claimed it to be a miracle. I was already missing the Beautiful City by the time my new leather boots set foot on the frozen river. Months before the journey Momma was already sewing us new clothes and saving her coins to purchase us boots from the tailor. Leaving Nauvoo, was one of the hardest things I’ve done.

I have had tough hope once, I had to move to a different state and start to get used to the new place. Moving was hard and took a long time to move everything to our new house. My new house was hard to get used to because it was different and I wasn 't used to it which made it hard to sleep and I had to leave my friends behind and I would have to find new friends. Making new friends was hard because I would be alone until I found new friends and I would have no one to talk to so I would be very quiet. Usually I would always be talking to a friend and I am only social with friends.
Every Moment Counts I hug her knowing that this will be our last. Tears are streaming uncontrollably down my cheeks, staining her shirt. I'm not ready to say goodbye. I don't understand why this is happening. Out all of the 7.28 billion people in the world, why did it have to be her?
This infuriates the older brother who believes he has been a righteous son. His father replies, “Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.” Christ teaches that no matter the sin, those that believe in Him and have true repentance may always return to the
