Daddy and Me
Here is an essay that I wrote for a writing class that I am taking at Loyola University. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into my personal life. Daddy and Me Daddy was the silent controller of our family, a circumstance that I only learned explicitly late in Mother’s life. She told me that he…
Read MoreFrom My Perspective: Why We MUST Vote FOR Bill Cassidy for the United States Senate
I am a Caucasian who grew up in a segregated South in Mississippi and Georgia, but have lived in New Orleans since 1977. I have seen positive changes in the elevation of African Americans in the South and nationally. But there is much left to be done and it is my sincere belief that Republicans…
Read MoreBill Cassidy for U.S. Senate: Good Reasons for Good Government
Today I have visited the Jefferson Parish Headquarters of Dr. Bill Cassidy for the U. S. Senate. I obtained yard signs and have worked some on the phones combining a positive message for Dr. Cassidy and explaining Landrieu’s 97% voting record with President Obama and her key vote for Obamacare – a vote that she…
Read MoreTo Do List for the Innovation Age
We are in The Innovation Age and thus we must: · Innovate throughout humankind and its entities of all kinds. · Seek wisdom and shun the negative values of selfishness, greed, envy, hate, and revenge. · Grow our health in mind, body and “little piece of God.” · Foster self-discipline and delayed gratification for ourselves…

I grew up in small towns in Mississippi and Georgia, got my accounting degrees at the University of Georgia, and lived in Atlanta for several years and Montgomery, Alabama for several months.

In fact, I find my efforts to try to motivate people to…

If the United States is to be successful domestically, we must think globally and at the same time have a deep realization that we are in The Innovation Age. It is up to us – humankind – with God’s enduring, steadfast love, to reach for the ultimate destiny – Heaven on Earth. To illustrate how global…
Read MoreBill Cassidy Has the Momentum–Keep It that Way!
The momentum of the Mary Landrieu versus Bill Cassidy, M.D. campaign apparently has shifted toward Congressman Cassidy, M.D., a serious, educated, honest, wise, and capable public servant. He’s ahead in the polls, money, and recent money raised, and he’s not a close associate of President Obama. This is in contrast to Senator Landrieu, who has…
Read MoreOur Current Toxic President and Hope for Tomorrow
We are in The Innovation Age and all humans and human-created entities must innovate in a positive, kind, wise manner on that beautiful journey to heaven on earth. We’ve had a toxic president in office for far too long, with two and a half long years ahead. He has been the most divisive president in…
Read MoreThoughts on the Ukraine Crisis
I recently read an interesting article titled, “Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault,” which appeared in Foreign Affairs,(September/October, 2014). The writer did a good job demonstrating that the West’s pursuit of Ukraine into NATO and the European Union has been an unnecessary provocation of Russia.It is noted that historically, “Napoleonic France, imperial Germany, and…
