The election of our first African American president (who's biracial background embodies multi-ethnicity) is a powerful sign of how rapidly our society has changed and will change in the decades to come. The question on my mind..."Is the church ready?"

Jeremy Del Rio: Things We Don't Talk About: Tri-State Voice, February 2005

"Mama, I never meant to hurt you, I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet." - Eminem, in Cleanin' out My Closet

He trusted her. That's what little brothers do, so when his eight year old sister and her friend called him into a field, four year old Aidan (named changed) went.
