I have been a member for about 40 years.

Truth or Consequences was an old show, way back when. What do you do if someone lies on you? Defamation happens in life. However, we generally don’t have the resources to sue for millions of dollars. When people steal your ideas and identity, what then? Well, there’s identity theft insurance, but how can you prove that to make a claim? So, you’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. Sounds pretty futile but not the end of the world. Right?

This week Dominion got a settlement on their defamation suit against Fox News. $787 million dollars or so. Not my money. Meanwhile, this old girl has to go to work wiping butts, to pay my bills. Or go bankrupt and retire. The hazards of other money making games, and the consequences of them are prohibitive. I don’t want to die or go to prison trying to make a living. That’s what it’s all about in this world, your money and getting it, using it and keeping it. Good luck, out there betwixt the society, the hazards and the penalties. But you make your way to rewards.

When I was a child, my Mother bought me a little red coat to wear to school and church and every where. I was tested in the third grade and my IQ was 107, according to my teachers. The school said that I could try to fit into the Enrichment program at my school. I was the only black child in almost the whole school. They didn’t think I’d survive, but my mom pleaded with Mrs. Metzger to give me a chance. She actually cried at them. I got called a lot of things, but I learned a lot of good information. Even foreign languages. I really didn’t like school, but it was a means to advance and achieve goals. When I grew up and married at 17, I was more approached on the basis of my physical features. When I was raped, I didn’t shoot my attacker, because I wanted to raise my own children. That happened at least three times. I washed off the evidence, but not the damage of abuse. Some people’s plans for my life were different than mine. Some people’s goals for my life are much worse than mine. My faith in my Yahweh, has given me survival and motivation to continue to the end. I trust in His judgment to be righteous and not abusive.

I am 70 now, and I bought my own red coat.
