Electronic Village has these little sayings that sits in a corner of his blog. I love them. And at the top is a little box that tells you how many users are online. The top of his blog is like a little bulletin board.
I rush down to read his post, and at the end, he challenges you to share your thought, I usually don't. Tonight, I am tired, but I go back to the top, and I see something new. It says, Shaquanda Cotton is free. Shock. Disbelief. What does that one sentence means, as I click on the link and see.

HOUSTON -- Shaquanda Cotton, the black teenager in the small east Texas town of Paris whose prison sentence of up to seven years for shoving a teacher's aide sparked nationwide controversy, will be released Saturday morning, prison officials confirmed on Friday.
Amazing Grace.
May Creola Cotton and Brenda Cherry be encouraged..nobody said it would be easy.
Keep the faith.
Now here's a fact. for these folks, who had to wipe the egg from their faces...just the facts as we pray for them.
Uh-oh! It's odd how traditions begin. The 'Shaquanda is Free' link was the first time that I did something like that. The 'NAACP' link to Ron Walters article was the 2nd time. Of course, now that you've given the Electronic Village some props for breaking the news on Shaquanda to you [smile], I have to continue the tradition. Sheesh ... the pressure of it all!
