    Toya Graham: Mother of the Year Or

    A Child Abuser?

    ANGRY BALTIMORE MOM BEATS SON AFTER SEEING HIM

    THROW ROCKS AT POLICE

    A suspected rioter in Baltimore got the smackdown of his life Monday by his mom on television. The mother saw her son on television throwing rocks at police, reports ABC Baltimore affiliate WMAR. That's when she'd had enough, dishing up a dose of discipline. The pair was identified as Toya Graham, a single mother of six, and her 16-year-old son, according to the Associat-ed Press. SOURCE

    Some do NOT see Toya Graham as a hero or mother of the year but instead a Child Abuser, REALLY!

    The police posted a message on twitter asking parents to locate their children and bring them home as they were rioting and throwing rocks at police officers. What was she suppose to do other than look for her son and remove him for his OWN safety? If she would have allowed him to continue rioting he could have been killed. The police still have a job to do by maintaining law and order as peaceably as possible. Not all police are bad, just like all black people are not bad. Yes, I said that. We cant have it both ways people.

    She could have stayed home and watched her son die-from a scene on her television set. She used the only means she knew how to protect her child. THAT is not called abuse. Thank goodness she used force to keep him alive.

    As for me and my house we say Toya Graham is a hero.

    She kept her son alive and showed the world, who was watching, that she teach her children to respect law and order.

    Brandon Hartzell, 27, a golfer, questioned on Twitter the hypocrisy of praising Graham for hitting her son while ad-monishing football player Adrian Peterson, who faced criminal abuse charges for disciplining his son with a switch. "We accused one person and praised another for the same action," he said. "It's so hypocritical."

    I agree with Mr. Hartzell to a certain point. The cases may be totally different. Im not that familiar with the Peterson case. However, I must agree with the way Toya Graham handled her teenage son. There should have been other parents out there doing the same thing. She sent a very strong message to the world and to her son. Right on

    Toya Graham.

    Baltimore Mom of the Year: I dont want him to be a Fred-die Gray.

    AND THAT I DO UNDERSTAND. Toya Graham deserves that award.

    REMOVING THE JUNK FROM THE COMMUNITY TRUNK

    ~In A World Filled With Hate - We must Emulate L.O.V.E.~

    The purpose of this magazine is to provide

    the audience with specialized information from a

    unique community; dedicated to and built upon

    the Love and Light of Michael Jackson.

    We bring you this material by way of the count-

    less groups and projects created because of Mi-

    chael Jackson.

    This magazine will be dedicated to those pro-

    jects with undertakings that build up the commu-

    nity; and actually possess the healing and light

    properties needed to help change a world filled

    with darkness and a community that has be-

    come infested with it.

    We wish to provide the Community Trunk, the

    new body of Michael Jackson, with information

    about new and delightful support projects. There

    has been too much Junk attached to his trunk

    and it is time we start anew by peeling away the

    old and rotted garbage from his amazing trunk,

    his community.

    We hope you will be a part of the solution and

    not the rubbish.

    There should be no room for old junk in a new

    trunk. Michael is a new creature in Christ Je-

    sus. The old MJ has passed away and behold,

    all things concerning him have become new.

    We wish to be an avenue to the beautiful things

    going forward; and share those things in this

    magazine once a month. We want to appeal to

    the rooted fans as well as the innovative.

    Dont put JUNK in your new TRUNK.

    It devalues your new found treasure.

    ABOUT KATHERINE JACKSON

    Michael Jackson and his mother, Katherine,

    had an unbreakable bond

    When ABC wanted to make a miniseries about

    the Jackson family's life in 1992, Michael Jack-

    son had one major requirement before he

    would give his blessing: Someone beautiful had

    to play his mother.

    The pop superstar adored Katherine Jackson,

    who ended up being portrayed by Angela Bas-

    sett in the miniseries

    A Jehovah's Witness, Katherine Jackson is universally described as a gentle, loving matriarch who

    has doted on her family and fought to keep them united through tough times.

    Born Katherine Scruse, she was reared in Chicago and overcame polio as a child. She married Joe Jackson at age 19, and they had 10 children (Marlon Jackson had a twin who died shortly after birth) in nearby Gary, Indiana. Katherine and Joe Jackson are still married and have been for 66 years.

    Though it was Joe Jackson who managed Michael Jackson and his brothers to early stardom, Michael credited his mother with giving him his vocal gifts. He described her as a pianist and singer in her own right who was the first to identify and encourage her children's musical talents.

    "Every child thinks their mother is the greatest moth-er in the world, but we Jacksons never lost that feel-ing," Jackson wrote in "Moonwalk," his 1988 autobi-ography. "Because of Katherine's gentleness, warmth and attention, I can't imagine what it's like to grow up without a mother's love."

    Katherine Jackson has stood by all of her children sides through some of their greatest triumphs and heartaches.

    Michael Jackson loved his mother un conditionally and lived with parents, along with siblings Janet and LaToya, at the family's Encino, California, compound until he was almost 30. After he moved to his vast Neverland estate, his mother remained part of his inner circle.

    L. Londell McMillan, who is part of the legal team representing Katherine Jackson , said Jackson trusted his mother completely and wanted to make sure she was always well provided for. "Michael would often say to those of us in his life, 'Please make sure you help me to protect and take care of my children and my mother Katherine,'" McMillan said.

    Rob Goldstone, a former Jackson publicist who spent time on the road with him during his 1989 "Bad" tour, described him as "a momma's boy. He loved his mom." "The one thing that was very appar-ent that everywhere we went, he would want to go shopping and buy something, and his mom was the one he wanted to buy something special for," he recalled.

    As stated by Rev. Jesse Jackson Mrs. Jackson assumed the role as mother/grandmother to Michaels three children immediately after his passing.

    "She is the matriarch of this family. She is so deep in her religion. She has a real insulation, not an isolation, kind of a spiritual, so she sees her family in the broader sense and all of them kind of gravitat-ing a certain way to mom as they were."

    BOOKS

    The Fantastic Life of Michael Jackson

    The Fantastic Life of Michael Jackson is a biographical essay on the life of the singer/

    songwriter and dancer. All facts about his person are historically accurate. The frame story

    is entertaining and easy to read; it surrounds conversations set in a fantasy Heaven, inter

    actions between Michael and his contemporaries, and imagined streams-of-

    consciousness from Michael himself, all of which allow the reader to appreciate his

    life from many different perspectives. The dialogsin which the angels and the char

    acters on Earth often have very different opinions about Michael Jacksonhelp

    everyone form their own opinions about the artist. Discussions take place about any

    imaginable argument without anyone being judged; the characters simply exchange

    their opinions. Michael's streams-of-consciousness reveal his troubles and

    sorrows, but also the occasional moments of happiness in his life. The main

    focal points of the book are Michael Jacksons music and

    analyses of his lyrics, his artistic

    creativity, and an accurate historical

    chronology.

    A letter sent to the Whispers from a fan in Novem-

    ber of 2014

    Dear all members of the Whispers band and team:

    Sometimes in life we find greatness among us. We

    dont get to share our feeling and words with those

    who we love. There arent many things that reach fifty

    years of success. Sometimes, life itself does not reach

    fifty years. However, The Whispers have. Your music

    has such a positive impact on so many people, myself

    included and I thank you for that.

    My story is simple. At the age of eighteen I was broke

    and living in a single room with just a mattress. I didnt

    have a television or a radio; all I had day in and day

    out was the music of The Whispers. Perhaps I was

    brain-washed into my love of The Whispers, but it was

    all I had in my early days. Today, I have it all! A gor-

    geous home in Stevenson Ranch, beautiful cars, mon-

    ey in the bank, and most importantly, a beautiful family.

    My three kids are made by The Whispers music. My

    son, Adam went to his first Whispers concert last week

    in Anaheim. He loved it! As a matter of fact, he asked

    when the next concert was so we could go again. So

    you see, your music is carrying on into the next gener-

    ation. That is amazing.

    This love I feel when I am at a Whispers concert is

    completely natural. The respect in the air is invigorat-

    ing. I can see the love and respect among the band members and that is inspiring. It is something that

    makes my eyes water.

    From the band to the stage crew, to the runners, Au-

    brey, and Willette, The Whispers deserve the highest

    recognition. The legacy of The Whispers is very spe-

    cial.

    I am sure I am not alone in saying, we the people, love

    everything about all of you! To everyone on The Whis-

    pers team and especially the band members, thank

    you thank you thank you for fifty years of great music.

    May you continue on in your great success! It does not

    matter how many times I come to a show, I will always

    be in the audience. You are all truly legends.

    The United States love you!

    I love you!

    Kingdom Records

    Whispers Bio

    One of R&B music's most beloved and consistently

    popular vocal groups, The Whispers, began their leg-

    endary and timeless career in 1963. Twin brothers

    Walter and Wallace Scott joined with friends Nicho-

    las Caldwell, Marcus Hutson, and Gordy Harmon to

    form a local singing group. They perfected their tight

    harmonies on the street corners in the Watts section

    of Los Angeles and in nightclubs in the in the San

    Francisco/Oakland Bay Area.

    They began singing together as "the Eden trio" creat-

    ed by Nicholas Caldwell and Marcus Hutson. Later,

    they were renamed "The Whispers" by Lou Bedell of

    Dore Records. The group recorded nine singles for

    the Dore label between 1964 and 1967. Their fame grew in the Bay Area while performing in a series of

    what was known as "The Battle of the Bands" where

    they competed against other local acts for their fans

    appreciation and affection. In 1969 they released "The Time Will Come" for a small L.A. based label

    Soul Clock Records, and subsequently recorded

    their first Top 10 R&B hit, "Seems Like I Gotta Do

    Wrong," in 1970 when the group switched to Janus

    Records. By 1971 Gordy Harmon decided to leave the group and was replaced by Leaveil Degree who

    had previously sung with "The Friends of Distinction".

    The Whispers produced a string of hits over the next

    two decades and emerged as the leading romantic

    singers of their generation, racking up one gold al-

    bum after another and charting numerous R&B hits

    throughout the seventies and eighties. The Whispers

    were the first artists featured on the newly formed

    Soul Train label (co- owned by the TV show's creator

    and host Don Cornelius and entrepreneur Dick

    Griffey). They gained national attention with their

    seventies albums, "One For The Money", "Open Up

    Your Love", and "Headlights" producing two singles

    that graced Billboard's Top 20 R&B Charts: "(Let's

    Go) All the Way" and "(Olivia) Lost and Turned Out".

    Their first platinum album "The Whispers" (1980)

    highlighted "A Song For Donny," a song written by

    Carrie Lucas in memory of Donny Hathaway, and

    their biggest hit "And The Beat Goes On." It was their

    most successful selling album (double platinum). The

    neoclassic "Lady," written by group member Nicholas

    Caldwell, is still a favorite at concerts. 1987's "Just

    Gets Better with Time", went platinum. It featured the

    R&B number 1 and US Top 10 pop entry "Rock

    Steady", a collaboration with Kenneth "Babyface"

    Edmonds.

    Their vocal style harkens back to a more genteel era of crooning, preferring soft pillow talk and songs that

    speak to heartfelt emotions. They are arguably the

    most celebrated R&B balladeers of their generation

    and still make women swoon with their silky yet

  • 19

    forceful tenors of twins Walter and Scotty. In the

    1990s, The Whispers joined the Capitol Records

    family releasing more favorites. Expanding their crea-tive horizons, brothers Walter and Scotty cut "My

    Brothers Keeper", a critically acclaimed duet album in

    1993, scoring another R&B hit with a cover of the In-

    truders' "I Wanna Know Your Name." "Toast to the

    Ladies" released in 1995 featured a collection of love songs dedicated to women all overthe world. In 1997 the

    group moved to Interscope Records where they featured

    the works of Babyface once again with their album,

    "Songbook, Vol. 1: The Songs of Babyface".

    Marcus stopped performing with the group in 1989

    due to ill health, and in 2000, when he passed on,

    the Whispers vowed never to replace him. In the new

    millennium the group still performs around the world

    to thousands of loyal fans. The group has not made

    any personnel changes and still consists of Walter

    Scott, Wallace Scott, Nicholas Caldwell, and Leaveil

    Degree. They have taken Las Vegas by storm, sell-

    ing out in various casinos and hotels, and they have

    a tremendous following on the West and East coasts,

    particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area, Southern

    California, New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia,

    Washington DC, St. Louis, Indiana, and Chicago. On

    September 23, 2003,

    The Whispers' four decades of accomplishments

    were acknowledged when Charlie Thomas of the

    Drifters inducted them into the Vocal Group Hall of

    Fame. On June 12, 2005, The San Francisco Chap-

    ter of the Grammy Awards presented the Whispers

    with the prestigious Governors Award, the highest

    honor bestowed by an Academy Chapter. They con-

    tinue to perform to sell-out crowds all over the world,

    and their popularity continues to grow among youth

    whose parents "raised" them on the Whispers' music.

    They are also known for their charitable work with

    youth that participate in the PAL (Police Athletic

    League) Reading Program, and their ongoing sup-

    port to domestic violence organizations and cancer

    agencies.

    They are one of only a few "old School" groups that

    can boast of having over 40 years in the industry with

    a worldwide fan base, maintaining their vocal domi-

    nance and original members.

    The Whispers waited almost a decade to produce a

    new CD in 2006. This independent product, the first

    venture of their newly formed company "Satin Tie

    Productions", is a masterpiece entitled "For Your

    Ears Only". According to Walter, "This title is a way of saying to our fans that we appreciate everybody's

    support that has been with us for many, many years."

    Nick's perspective deals with its essence. He states,

    "In my opinion, the CD represents the musical DNA

    and artistic expression of what the Whispers were and have become during their 42 years together. It

    was conceived to please the ears, hearts and minds

    of our super- supportive and loyal family of fans. It

    was a labor of love and I believe a body of work blessed by God.

    AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY MUSEUM TAKES SHAPE

    On the last build-able lot on the National Mall, in the

    shadow of a memorial to a president who owned

    slaves, a monument is taking shape to a people who

    rose up and demanded America live up to its stated

    ideals.

    "A story of slavery, a story of tragedy. But also a story

    of America as a work in progress," said Lonnie Bunch,

    the museum's director.

    The 150 pound bronze colored aluminum panels

    evoke the ironwork of the African American slave

    craftsmen in New Orleans, Savannah and Charleston.

    "The goals to sort of bring home this sort of corona to suggest there has always been a dark pres-

    ence in America that we forgot," said Bunch.

    The panels hang by a slender thread from the fifth floor.

    "Like a lampshade," said Derek Ross, who is heading up construction for the Smithsonian.

    Inside the facade, the building is almost transparent.

    "I wanted you to be able to look out at an exhibit on

    the March on Washington and then look out and see

    the Lincoln Memorial. I wanted you to learn the story

    of enslavement and then look down Pennsylvania

    Avenue where the slave pens once were," said

    Bunch.

    Curators have now collected more than 40,000 arti-

    facts, including a slave cabin, a child's shackles and

    a segregated rail car.

    But the museum will also hold the joy of Michael

    Jackson's fedora and Louis Armstrong's trumpet.

    Museum Director Bunch said he wants it to be about

    much more than just yesterday. He says it also has to

    be about today and tomorrow, so curators are collect-

    ing artifacts from Ferguson, from New York and from

    Baltimore. They will keep telling the story of America's

    efforts to make itself a more perfect union.

    A MESSAGE FROM MAJESTIK TO THE FANS

    PLEASE SHARE!

    "Hello fans. This is Majestik Magnificent, otherwise known as The Magnifi-

    cent One. First of all, allow me to thank you all for your cards, your letters,

    your flowers, and your prayers for me when I was in the hospital and thank

    you all that came to see me and could not get in.

    I want to thank you for your positive energy. I felt it. I was diagnosed, in

    case you dont know - but Im sure you do know, with brain cancer in the

    worst form. I am out of the hospital. I am at home and I am doing well.

    I have what is called the GBM tumor. I want to see you guys. I am throwing

    a big event in Beverly Hills, California in the near future. You will all be noti-

    fied. Of course there will be a lot of Jackson music.

    My tumor is stable at this particular time and I am doing well. Lets just pray

    that it stays that way. You all are the best fans in the world. I dont care

    where you go on the planet no one is better than the Michael Jackson fans.

    NO one.

    And once again I want

    to thank you for think-

    ing about me and

    sending me your

    cards and letters it

    means a lot to me.

    LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE,

    Majestik Magnificent"

    all the way from Liberia.

    Joshua, the Director of

    Christian Youth Empower-

    ment (CYE) with whom

    MJL partnered in August

    last year to help with the

    Ebola crisis, called to report

    that Liberia is now FREE

    from the deadly virus.

    He would like to pass on his sincere thanks to those of you that donated towards the 129 faucet buck-

    ets. These buckets and materials funded by MJL, together with the education and distribution CYE per-

    formed on the ground, helped the children of Monrovia stay safe and well throughout the crisis.

    During three weeks in August 2014, due to the ever worsening

    threat of Ebola in West Africa, Michael's fans began to raise money

    via MJL through a 'birthday bucket' scheme. We'd hoped to raise

    funding for 29 buckets - one for each day leading up to and includ-

    ing Michael's birthday. But you did better than that. Much better. A

    grand total of 129 buckets were funded. Here's some photos of

    them being distributed by Christian

    Youth Empowerment Watch, with

    whom we partnered for this endeav-

    or.

    Miracle in Milan

    Daniele Parisi, was a boy from Latina, Italy, who was diagnosed with AIDS at age 8. The virus was transmitted from his biological mother, HIV-positive.

    Daniele was a big fan of Michael Jackson, and in 1997, when he was 14 and the disease had already left an indelible mark, he had the opportunity to at-tend a Concert of the HIStory World Tour in Milan on June 18.

    On the same day, he and his mother entered Michaels dressing room, where the Star gave him kisses and hugs and thanked for the gifts they brought him. Daniele and his adoptive mother at-tended the Concert from one side of the stage, along with Debbie Rowe and Luciano Pavarotti.

    During the Concert, a team member gave Daniele a gift bag including the tour program. Towards the end of the Concert, during the song Heal the World, Michael went to Daniele who was sitting in a chair unable to walk due to weakness caused by his ill-ness, knelt before him and filled his hands with

    kisses. Then he picked him up and walked to center stage posing for several photos.

    After this experience Danieles health had noticeably improved so fast that the doctors called it a mira-cle. It was as if Michael had given him a few years of life. Daniele started to walk again sometimes even running eating better (gaining weight), but most importantly of all, he gained self-confidence to keep fighting and keep going. Unfortunately, Daniele died two years later from a brain infection due to influenza. The wonderful memories of Michael, along with the loving care of his mother, gave him the strength to keep fighting until the end.

    Here is what Antonietta Parisi, the adoptive mother of Daniele, wrote after the ruling of the trial 2003/2005:

    Dearest Michael,

    Ill never forget what you did for my son, Daniele. After meeting you, the doctors called it a miracle, because for some months it was like he never had AIDS.

    Now that justice has been served, I just wanted to ex-press my gratitude and my happiness to you. Please, dont ever let people get at you like that again. I know you are a kindhearted and want to help everyone, but not all people deserve so much attention.

    My child is not here with us anymore, but I know that from up there hes always looking over you. Hes never forgot-ten what you did for him.

    God bless you,

    Antonietta (Italy)

    and this is Michaels reply:

    Dear Antonietta,

    Thank you for your testimony. May God always bless you and Daniele.

    Michael Jackson

    Daniele Parisi loved Michael Jackson so much. Here is what Antonietta Parisi, the adoptive mother of Danie-

    le, wrote after Michael died in 2009.

    "The news that Michael Jackson is dead has brought me back with my heart and mind to a pain that you do

    not yet dozed off, my son Daniele. Our meeting with Michael Jackson at the Concert in Milan 18 June 1997,

    was magical and marvelous, Michael received us in his dressing room, with a large mirror with lights all

    around. There he appeared thin and frail but with a sweetness and an infinite humility and humanity. He wore

    a white blouse with black pants and his hair loose and wavy that fell on the shoulders. For Daniele it was

    quite a vision! He was totally awestruck!!

    Michael was very helpful and with folded hands bent towards Daniele. Then he signed many autographs for

    Daniele and for his friends in Latin America. At that moment, and even then, knowing Michael better, all the

    negative thoughts I had for him before, just disappeared, so that I apologized for having made myself let influ-

    enced by rumors. His bodyguards took Daniele up on stage where he could watch his fantastic Concert. I still

    remember him, he was so happy, to be there, and see Michael live in a Concert, it was his dream come true.

    As they danced the performers got near to Daniele to give him a hand and make him feel at ease. The best

    moment was when Michael took Daniele to the stage with him, on stage in his arms, in front of 60 thousand

    people. Then he did publish their pictures (the same ones that he sent me when he learned that Daniele had

    died) and those pictures were also on the cover of the French fanzine Black & White doing well around the

    world. In one of my e-mails to Michael, I literally wrote: "It is admirable that you're doing everything for an an-

    gel like Daniele." Michael Jackson was a very special person and

    I regret not having been able to see him again, (I was planning to surprise him in one of his Concerts). He

    helped the sick children because he had a difficult childhood. With one of his Concerts, the entire proceeds

    were intended for children in Ethiopia, there were so many children he had helped, adopting them. But that

    did not make news.

    With Michael I understand that you should "never judge without knowing the people and that we must not

    forget the good things that he has done to those who are less fortunate. Knowing that my son is no longer

    suffering and that now he is happy in heaven, now this definitely relieves my pain. Today I am grieving for the

    loss of this Great Artist, and above all for the great human being that Michael was. I am sure that by now

    theyve met again, in heaven, Michael and Daniele.

    PROVIDING HOPE HOWEVER WE CAN

    Humanitarian Efforts

    The Air Force doesn't just use its resources to serve the military mission, it also uses them to serve mankind. In any type of humanitarian crisis, we perform a variety of missions to aid those in need. Explore some of the many ways we use our resources to serve others.

    HUMANITARIAN MISSIONS

    AIR DELIVERIES

    On humanitarian missions, the quickest - and sometimes the

    only - way to get supplies to those in need is to drop them

    from planes. The Air Force is an expert in such precision air

    deliveries, able to release heavy cargo from 30,000 feet in the

    air and have it land at a precise spot. That's why you'll

    typically see a U.S. Air Force plane dropping the first load of

    life-saving goods in an international crisis.

    CCAT

    A Critical Care Air Transport Team, or CCATT, is a specialized

    medical team consisting of an intensive care physician, a

    critical care nurse and a respiratory technician. Together with

    a C-130 aircraft and crew, they create an intensive care unit in

    the sky, used to transport critically ill or wounded patients to

    a hospital to get the care they need.

    ECMO

    Extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO, is a machine

    that provides cardiac and respiratory support primarily to infants

    and children whose hearts and lungs are so severely diseased or

    damaged that they can no longer function. The Air Force

    operates the only long-distance ECMO transport option in the

    world. It runs out of Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland Air

    Force Base, Texas.

  • 65

    COMMUNICATIONS

    Especially in large natural disasters, the most important

    factor in the relief effort is communication. How can

    responders begin recovery if they can't talk to each other? It's

    critical to have tech-savvy, efficient responders establishing a

    communications system within 24 hours - and that's where

    the Air Force comes in.

    GOODWILL

    The Air Force believes in using its resources to make

    positive changes in the world, not just in response to

    natural disasters. All over the globe, Airmen are doing

    their part to improve the communities around their

    bases and helping out in other nations just because.

    FIRE RESPONSE

    The Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves lead the

    Air Force's firefighting capabilities. They are trained to

    fight all kinds of fires but are primarily called on to fight

    wild land fires that civilian organizations are not

    equipped to handle.

    RESCUE

    The Air Force has incredibly skilled search and rescue teams who are

    trained to conduct conventional and unconventional rescues in both

    combat and humanitarian situations. The teams are made up of

    pilots, pararescuemen, communications professionals and other

    specialists as needed. They'll travel by air, land or sea into any

    environment to extract, treat, stabilize and evacuate the injured at a

    moment's notice

    HOW DO YOU HONOR YOUR MOTHER?

    THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MOTHER AND A MAMA

    RESPECT YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER

  • 74

    Exodus 20:12

    12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

    The command to honor . . . your mother isn't a suggestion, and nobody is ex-empt. Her character or effectiveness as a parent is not the issue. God established this guideline for Israel because a respectful home was crucial to the nations fu-ture success. The same is true for us today. God blesses our homes when we re-spect our mothers with words, attitudes, and actions.

    LOVE HER UNCONDITIONALLY. Were called to love our moms as God does. He didn't qualify His love with expectations or conditions to be met first. He lav-ished affection on us while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8).

    FORGIVE HER COMPASSIONATELY. Since there are no perfect mothers, at times well have to forgive them. If your mom seems harsh or unloving, show com-passion. As a child, she may have experienced hardships that wounded her spirit.

    REMEMBER HER GRATEFULLY. This Mothers Day, thank Mom for all she did for you when you were young. But dont let it end there. Nothing is more hurtful than feeling forgotten. Make room for her in your busy schedule. After all, she made countless sacrifices for you.

    TREAT HER KINDLY. Let your mother know shes valued. Take time to listen at-tentively to her words, and help her out when she is in need.

    Does your mother feel loved and honored? What can you do to bring a big smile to her face? In our adult years, its easy to distance ourselves from our moms be-cause life gets hectic and multiple demands steal our time. Make it a habit to pray for her daily and contact her regularly.

    HOW DO YOU HONOR YOUR MOTHER?

  • 75

    I am of the opinion that there is a big difference be-

    tween a Mother and a Mama. One definition de-

    fines Mother to be a woman who brings up a child

    with care and affection and Mama is defined as a

    persons mother. Some animals eat their young but I

    do not care to think on that at all. I mentioned that

    here to make my point that there is a difference. A

    Mother cares for her child while a Mama just gives

    birth to the child. Now, this is my opinion and I have

    always believed that. To help you understand where

    Im going with this Id like to share this story with you.

    1 Kings 3:16-28New International Version (NIV)

    A Wise Ruling 16 Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 17 One of them said, Pardon me, my lord. This woman and I live in the same house, and I had a baby while she was there with me. 18 The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us. 19 During the night this womans son died because she lay on him. 20 So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your serv-ant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. 21 The next morning, I got up to nurse my sonand he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasnt the son I had borne. 22 The other woman said, No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours. But the first one insisted, No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine. And so they argued before the king. 23 The king said, This one says, My son is alive and your son is dead, while that one says, No! Your son is dead and mine is alive. 24 Then the king said, Bring me a sword. So they brought a sword for the king. 25 He then gave an or-der: Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other. 26 The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king, Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Dont kill him! But the other said, Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!

    27 Then the king gave his ruling: Give the living ba-by to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his moth-er. 28 When all Israel heard the verdict the king had giv-en, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice. The one woman who was wiling to give up the child in order that he may live is the one who displayed the care and affection for the baby. The one who would rather see the baby divided in half by with a sword did not display motherly love. She did not care whether the baby lived or died and of course King Solomon must have thought the same since he was able to make a wise ruling on the matter. The woman who was willing to give up the child was truly the mother and the woman who gave birth to the child. A woman who is truly a Mother will make the ultimate sacrifice for her child. That is why I believe there to be a difference between a Mother and a Mama. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Kings%203:16-28 New International Version (NIV)

    Id like to share another opinion with you that is much different than mine. Acharlie2005 has an opinion here: https://us.toluna.com/opinions/605206/Is-there-a-difference-between-a-Mother-a-Mom-A

    There was a time when Mother & Mom meant the same person. In our modern society, this is not al-ways true. Today, Mom is not always the same person as Moth-er. What distinguishes the difference between these two titles? Mother is the person who gives life to a child. Mom is the person who gives her life to the raising of a child. A person who willingly accepts the burdens, responsibilities, heart breaks, and joys of raising a child. Different people have different meanings for the two words but Im on King Solomons side.

    Call for Love for May 10, 2015 - Mothers

    I didnt have a particularly good relationship with my mother. In her eyes, I could never

    do anything right, and would never amount to anything. When I decided to go back to

    school, I didnt even tell her because I didnt want to hear all of the discouraging com-

    ments. I have an aunt, though, who loved me unconditionally and who provided so

    much mothering, I was jealous of her own daughters as they came along.

    Today she is in her 80s and I still call her when I need her recipe for something or just

    to hear her laugh. My mother-in-law, too, was another story. She loved me from the

    very first moment we met, and took me in as her own. She treated me the same as

    she treated her own three daughters. I have many fond memories of wonderful times

    we had together shopping or just hanging out. I could talk with her about anything.

    When she died, I told the minister who was preparing her funeral that I never under-

    stood Ruths love of Naomi until I met my mother-in law. But now I do.

    I dont have children of my own, through a combination of factors. But I have never

    lacked for people (and animals) to mother. Caring for life involves many skills and

    strategies, and those who do the mothering are usually very busy people.

    Today is celebrated as Mothers Day here in the US. We honor all those who gave

    us life, whether literally or figuratively. We know how Michael loved his Mother and

    valued her as the one person he could always trust.

    So today, and every day, we consider and honor those who mothered us, and hope

    we can do them justice by passing along that mothering to those who need us.

    Tried to reach for you

    you were nearly here

    disappeared in a twinkle

    of a eye behind the

    laughter that became tears

    Surfaced through my mind

    today words seem to

    find their way even when

    we cant find the words to say

    Like a starry starry night

    thousand stars immerse

    before sight in the deepest

    of the distant light

    Tear stained letters

    that time forgot

    of memories locked

    in a ballerina music box

    Drift off to dream

    the visions are clear

    just beyond the horizon

    I know you are near....TammyJ..

    That first bright step into the sun-

    shine of life

    begins with the opening of the fami-

    ly cocoon.

    The caterpillar becomes a butterfly

    spreading her wings into the world.

    What she is today is but a tiny mir-

    ror.

    of the transformation that is yet to

    come.

    For with time, love, humor and

    warmth

    She is an ever changing master-

    piece.

    Whether as wife, mother, career

    woman or all,

    she will find her center of peace.

    A place that is hers and hers alone,

    the essence of what she is and will

    be.

    Using the instincts that each of us

    have

    to find the good in each other.

    to be a caring friend, lover, helper

    and playmate,

    to listen and share, to laugh and to

    cry.

    With loving support of family and

    friends,

    she takes flight down an unknown

    road towards her future,

    like the rising of the sun in the east.

    Each day filled with new beginnings.

    Finding excitement and challenge at

    each new turn.

    Her flight through life filled with

    many happy adventures

    and memories to put in her book of

    life,

    as the sun moves along that steady

    path across the sky.

    When the sun at last begins to set

    in the west

    and her flight nears its end, she can

    look back along her path

    and know that she has been every-

    thing she can be

    and has done her very best.

    SHOUT IT OUT: CORRINE MONTORFANI

    Happy Birthday Mrs. Jackson: A woman too kind even when she does not feel like it .

  • 87

    This month it was Mother's Day, and also her

    birthday. I would like to wish a Happy Birthday to a

    strong, stoic and dignified woman: Katherine

    Jackson.

    The dignity she kept toward the outrageous attitude

    of those who have thrown rocks at her during the

    AEG trial is just incredible. She perfectly embodies

    the famous quote of Ian McLaren: Be kind, for

    everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

    Katherine Jackson wanted to know the truth about

    what really happened to her son. That's how the

    system works; you cannot get information from

    these kind of people unless you sue them and force

    them, under oath, to answer your questions.

    Katherine Jackson did what any mother that loved

    her son would have done; she went after the ones

    she felt were responsible and involved in MJ's

    demise. MJ is her son; she brought him into this

    world.

    So, I really don't understand and I feel very

    uncomfortable to read how fans dare judging her

    attitude and more.... calling her names, which is a bit too much for my taste and educational

    background I have to add!

    I have seen plenty of forum discussions titled: Why Katherine Jackson dropped restitution?

    I saw a legion of desperate housewives, sitting on their laptops spamming social media and

    forums, to educate people on things they do not even know, slamming in public those who

    disagree with them telling everyone how bad they are! But thats not doing anything for MJ. It's all

    about casting oneself as the hero of some delusional crusade. All these rants change nothing but

    only prove how disrespectful these people are to Michael, his Mother, his children and his genuine

    fans.

    Here is the problem with assumptions! Especially when we take a

    look into their "sources". As far as the discussions going on

    message boards and some blogs, most of the sources are coming

    from media outlets, the same media who threw MJ under the bus

    countless times; the same that will be ready to turn around the

    very next day and say that MJ was a pedophile.. I've seen people

    agree with negative reports on the family written by Roger

    Friedman, which is something unbelievable. How can you engage

    a forum thread, or worst, a blog with such a source???

    Psychologists explain the reasons why people gossip:

    To feel superior: People who dont feel good about themselves

    temporarily feel better when they judge others negatively.

    Out of boredom: When people cant generate interesting

    discussions based on knowledge or ideas, gossip can rouse peoples

    interest.

    Out of envy: People gossip in order to hurt those whose

    popularity, talents, or lifestyle they envy.

    To feel like part of the group: people gossip to feel as though

    they belong to the group. Yet, when acceptance is based on being in

    on a secret, it is not based on a persons identity, but on exclusion or

    maliciousness.

    For attention: a person gets to be the center of attention

    temporarily while divulging a piece of gossip. Yet, spreading gossip or

    rumors is like buying attention; its temporary and has little foundation.

    Out of anger or unhappiness: a person can derive a sense of retribution with disparaging

    remarks

    I may add: where these people have been educated?

    Which kind of dysfunctional family they have been living in? Because to have this kind of dirty mind

    and mouth, it surely comes from detrimental family conditions!

    This needs to stop. No genuine people would talk about

    MJ's mother that way. And who are these people, so called

    fans, popped up in MJ's fan community as soon as MJ

    died?

    Katherine Jackson said exactly under oath in the AEG trial

    why she dropped her case against Conrad Murray. Exactly as

    she explained her reasons for suing AEG. She's a Christian

    that felt it against her conscience to sue a man with 7 children

    without a job and medical license; furthermore, she already

    heard what his story was about during his trial. Fact is that

    restitution would have made Murray talk more because there

    is no gag order. Murray would have been able to give even

    more interviews slandering all the family revealing fake secrets without even being subjected to

    restitution. How dumb people are Restitution was not the legal way to stop him from talking.

    I really didn't know many MJ fans hated Mrs. Jackson so

    much or at least I did not remember it getting this deep. In

    the 80s there was a miserable rumor wondering if it was

    true that Mrs. Jackson beat up a Motown secretary

    because she was having an affair with her husband.

    Heres what People magazine (a tabloid) claim: In 1980,

    with children Randy and Janet, Katherine marched into

    Joe's office, grabbed his assistant, Gina Spraguewhom

    they believed was also his loverand according to a

    police report filed by Sprague, Kate announced, "B*tch,

    you better leave my husband alone!" She then beat

    Sprague, who was later treated at a local hospital. Yet

    this story has not been verified by any legitimate source anyplace else, except for an unauthorized

    Janet Jackson biography, so that alone should make one question the validity of that story.

    We should know that some authors will put anything

    sensationalistic in a book to make it sell. The

    incident was re-enacted in the movie The

    Jacksons: An American dream, but no physical

    confrontation was shown between the two women.

    Instead, they depicted Mrs. Jackson turning her

    anger on her husband but even this one was fiction.

    If there is any truth it would have been something

    that should have stayed in the closet door of the

    familys privacy in my opinion. Miss Katherine

    Scruse married Joe Jackson in 1949. His infidelities prompted Katherine to file for divorce in 1973but

    she didn't leave him even when Joe produced an illegitimate daughter with another woman in 1974,

    and Mrs. Jackson, a devout Jehovah's Witness, struggled to maintain her dignity. This story doesn't

    make sense. She may have confronted the secretary

    and maybe had some "words" with her, but Mrs.

    Jackson strikes me as a woman of dignity who wouldn't

    stoop so low as to indulge a hair-pulling, biting, knock

    down and drag out catfight. Furthermore, in 1991 there

    was a public war started between the Jackson Family

    and LaToyas manager and husband, Jack Gordon.

    Many may not remember or even know what Jack

    Gordon - a convicted felon, a former owner of massage

    parlors, convicted of trying to bribe Nevada State

    gaming commissioner - did to Katherine Jackson. He

    claimed the Jacksons tried to kidnap LaToya and have

    her beaten, and that Mrs. Jackson tried to kill her.

    During an interview, Katherine claimed that Gordon had

    total control of her daughter, had turned her against her

    family, and had ``brainwashed`` her. After many years

    the truth prevailed and Mrs. Jackson words were genuine and she was right.

    I don't think that Mrs. Jackson is above criticism because she's Michael's mother. The fact that she loved

    her son doesn't mean that she didn't have to engage in legal actions.

    Katherine Jackson is not stupid and her

    case against AEG proved this. She knew

    what she was doing. She testified in the

    AEG trial, and seemed very hands on about

    her decision to sue AEG; she made that

    clear on the stand. If it was not for this trial

    we would have never known what was

    going on behind the scenes of This is it

    that, as blogger Syl Mortilla said in his book

    was a video diary of a dying man. If all the

    mystery and the lies swirling around MJ,

    would have ever happened to one of your children, would you care what the

    world thought about your law suit?

    When a family's screaming foul play and the world think something is really off, then, theres a chance they

    are right! Its not a common feeling that somethings really off in the entire situation and that all this focusing

    on the Jacksons is just a smoke screen? I do think it is seriously off and it always has been. But

    NO...people talk, insults and rants. All senseless posts taken from media articles and gossip news and

    taken as gospel, supported with court documents that people do not understand and, most of all, do not

    show
