First Sunday of Advent

AdventWeek1Wreath4 is 63:16b-17, 19b; 64:2-7

You, LORD, are our father,
our redeemer you are named forever.
Why do you let us wander, O LORD, from your ways,
and harden our hearts so that we fear you not?
Return for the sake of your servants,
the tribes of your heritage.
Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,
with the mountains quaking before you,
while you wrought awesome deeds we could not hope for,
such as they had not heard of from of old.
No ear has ever heard, no eye ever seen, any God but you
doing such deeds for those who wait for him.
Would that you might meet us doing right,
that we were mindful of you in our ways!
Behold, you are angry, and we are sinful;
all of us have become like unclean people,
all our good deeds are like polluted rags;
we have all withered like leaves,
and our guilt carries us away like the wind.
There is none who calls upon your name,
who rouses himself to cling to you;
for you have hidden your face from us
and have delivered us up to our guilt.
Yet, O LORD, you are our father;
we are the clay and you the potter:
we are all the work of your hands.

However, the robbery at the Ferguson Liquor Store and Market didn’t take place until 11:40am.  The store is only a 10-15 minute walk.  (GJ Vol #4, Page 25)

So what did they do for four hours?

Officer Darren Wilson Resigns Today….

SAINT LOUIS – Citing security fears, Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot Michael Brown Aug. 9, has resigned from the police department.
Wilson, 28, who on Monday was cleared by a grand jury investigating the shooting, had been a member of the city’s police department for six years.

In a brief telephone interview, Wilson said he resigned after the police department told him it had received threats of violence if he remained an employee.
“I’m resigning of my own free will,” he said. “I’m not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me.”
He said resigning was “the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.
“This is the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”
Wilson’s resignation letter reads: (more…)

Angry #Ferguson Protestors Bring Frightened Kids To Tears During Tree Lighting In Seattle…

Mommy, who is Mike Brown and why does he f*ck the policeman?


seattle 1Seattle […] Demonstrators marched through holiday traffic, blocked intersections and shut down light rail service to Westlake station. Some protesters moved the demonstration to the edge of the Capitol Hill neighborhood, where they clashed with police officers.
Both officers and demonstrators used pepper spray, police said. Some protesters wore gas masks.
Later, the city’s traditional Christmas lighting ceremony at Westlake started early after protesters surrounded the area and began rallying. Police turned out in force, arresting five people and prompting the mall to close several hours early.
Police said the arrests included people accused of assaulting officers and damaging an officer’s bicycle. (more…)

The DeAndre Joshua Murder

DeAndre JoshuaDeAndre Joshua, 20, was murdered on the same night of the Saint Louis Grand Jury announcement. DeAndre was shot in the head, and then a flammable liquid poured on him and set afire inside his vehicle.

DeAndre Joshua also fits the social profile of several eye-witnesses who gave the police/FBI statements and testified before the Grand Jury in the Mike Brown shooting case.  If that were the only coincidence it might be easy to dismiss.  Alas, it’s not. Out of an abundance of caution for other witnesses we are avoiding outlining the most direct connections. 

As you are aware DeAndre  was an employed black male, with no history of drug use or illicit behavior.  In the Canfield Community marijuana is not considered illicit, nor does weed really qualify as drug use – it’s as common as tobacco.  DeAndre was also a friend of Dorian Johnson who is currently under protection.

Dorian 2

Obviously his friend, Dorian Johnson is very alarmed, understandably so. On the  night before the Grand Jury announcement, there were considerable nerves amid a select group in the Ferguson community.

As the attention of a nation turned to the grand jury decision, and also to the demands of the Justice for Mike Brown coalition, Dorian Johnson was potentially going to be the recipient of a tremendous amount of angst.  Several people were looking for DeAndre and Dorian. (more…)

Pigs Fly – No, Really, Pigs Fly – Well, Almost…

Sheesh.  A woman brought a 70 lb “emotional support animal”, a pig, on board an American Airlines flight.

[…] Jonathan Skolnik, a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a passenger on the flight, told ABC News today he thought the woman with the pig was carrying a duffel bag when she got on the plane and headed straight for the empty seat next to him.

“But it turns out it wasn’t a duffel bag. We could smell it and it was a pig on a leash,” he said. “She tethered it to the arm rest next to me and started to deal with her stuff, but the pig was walking back and forth.”

“I was terrified, because I was thinking I’m gonna be on the plane with the pig,” (read what happened)
