I'm excited!

"Power to the People"!  I lived through the sixties. I was a bra burner.  (I never burned one, just stopped wearing them)  No I didn't look nasty or pendulous.   I was fine and perky.

I have always been bold and bodacious, honest and forthright.  I don't believe in a superior race.  I know money and status can't make you happy.   Financial security is not necessarily a blessing from GOD.

I'm feeling good.  I am retired, I don't have to hit a lick if I don't want to.  I can look back on a well lived outspoken life.  My motto has always been; "I don't take tea for the fever!" I got that from my "mother" ironically.

I always believed my "mother" to be heroic and pioneering.  I watched her maintain her own cars, build a deck and beat a man's a**.  (many times)  I knew I would never be an abused woman.  Bold and bodacious I could take a stage or microphone.

The greatest gift I acquired or inherited from or through Martha, is the gift of critical thinking.  If critical thinking is stimulated from a lack of trust, I am the champion.

Make sure you know that no man can ride your back if you stand up.  Stand up to evil.  Don't be a wimp! Never let anyone make you cower or grovel in the dust.  If they beat your a**, they beat your a**.  Fight'um!  Fight'um back!  If you have to use a brick or a bat, gather all the courage and muster you have to let that devil know she is in for a fight.  So you got fooled.  So what?  Yea you fooled me for a minute.  Had me confused for fifty-eight years.

  "Sophie home nigh!"  You used to yell ; "Come get yo' beatin'!"  You come get yours!  Come get this truth!  Come get your "come upance".  Come get what you deserve, hiding behind GOD's cross.  How are you going to use GOD to fool GOD?  You didn't work that out did you?  What is going to happen when your minions find out that they no longer have to fear you?  You're 86 years old!  You can't strip any one naked, tie, gag and beat them bloody senseless now!  Your "roots" ain't working!  Your lies are failing.  You can only fool the volunteer defeated and dimwitted.

  Never go along with wrong doing and lies.  No matter how repugnant, how foul , stand up for the truth.  Stand up for justice. Stand up for your grandfather, Jerome Walters!  He stood up for you.  He feed and clothed you and never said a mumbling word.  He was proud to do it!  He called you a jewel in his crown. Stand up for the truth.  Trust GOD! He will bless you.

Stay in His WORD children.  Remember; "Apart from Christ you are nothing."

May GOD's Grace, Mercy and Truth, engulf you, cloak you and keep you in Perfect Peace,
Rachel Gwendolyn Doster (the exceedingly proud granddaughter of a great Patriarch, JEROME WALTERS)
