Comment by Eric Lewis on September 14, 2011 at 2:53pm: As some of you know, we have 6 black republicans running for the legislature this fall in Louisiana. One in particular, Barbara Thomas, is running to represent the district that includes Southern University. After reading this recent post on facebook, it's clear that this won't be an easy trip.

"The Republican Party is trying to use Black Republicans to sway us into their legislative trap, just as trappers used Black individuals to capture us for the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. My Black people, if we are not careful, we may find history repeating itself very very soon!!! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! AND IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE VOTING FOR, FIND OUT DAMN IT!!!! "

Please visit Barbara's website, www.barbarathomas.net, and consider how you might support her efforts to put Families First in Louisiana as the State Representative for District 63.

Comment by Arlene R Pappan on March 3, 2011 at 12:39pm: It is interesting that some of the reviews put down the movie because they thougth the events in the plot were totally expected. ie: the young preacher giving his kidney, the father shot the son. And also that the policemen were not wearing seat belts. They obviously were hardened to letting the holy spirit move within them.

Comment by Deadra Marsh-Foy on March 3, 2011 at 11:10am: Saw "The Grace Card" last night (instead of going to church). I was definitely moved by the Holy Spirit. Arlene is right...as Christians we should really take a second thought to our approaches to tragedy, racism and the understanding of what our goals in life really are.

Comment by Deadra Marsh-Foy on March 2, 2011 at 11:11am: The trailer looks good. Here is the link to find a theater near you http://www.thegracecardmovie.com/theaters/state/TX/ ...thanks Arlene I think I'll plan to see it this weekend. On the college students, I still have not heard anything. My hopes are that people from this group will give me feedback on what they would be interested in doing in the near future...so we can get active on something.

Comment by Arlene R Pappan on February 28, 2011 at 2:48pm: I saw the movie, "The Grace Card" yesterday. It was a multi-faceted view of some of the problems today as we deal with tragedy, racism, understanding our youth, marriage, understanding or miss-understanding ourselves, full-filling our goals and more. I found I could mostly relate to all the characters at one time or another and although it was a Christian movie the compelling problems affect us all and the solutions offerred to all are not just for Christians.

Any more update on focusing on the colleges?
