Tragic Love Story

Love is a strategy in the midst of tragedy. This day is a memorial for the grass root movement of young lives standing against gun violence here and every where! I was blessed to be a part of March For Our Lives. What in the world is going on in the United States? We have policy makers wanting teachers to carry guns into our schools? They use the 2nd amendment to justify this idea! We have senators receiving funding from the National Rifle Association at the expense of the lives lost not only to hand guns but assault rifles. Let us be real here! I am armed with my voice piece and peaceful protest today according to the first amendment! Let me defog the brain of some folks in this blog. Since the Sandy
Teens creating their signs
Hook Elementary School 2012 massacre that cost the lives of 20 first graders and 6 adults we still have assault rifles being sold? This tragic incident took place when a mentally insane 20 year old gunman came in with an ASSAULT RIFLE and semi automatic hand guns to live the game out of his brain. Since then the Gun Violence Archives reports there have been more than 400 people shot in over 200 school shootings. People still elect officials who receive money from white and blue color pimps,
National Rifle Association, Pharmaceutical Companies, Video Gaming Industry that promote Gun violence, Pornographic Press and any system that promote dehumanizing behaviors. What do we need to do?  It is a Simple Action vote them out of office! Those in office need to #1 BAN ASSAULT RIFFLES and Semi Automatic Shot Guns. Secondly, perform a psychological evaluation by a licensed personnel. Thirdly, consider universal background check for gun owners. Fourthly, raised the age to 21 to purchase a gun. Lastly, keep guns out of schools and place metal detectors. We need to reconsider the term limit of senators. They and city officials need to get out into the trenches and learn about the communities they serve and spend time in the school systems helping the administration to receive the adequate funds to educate, rehabilitate and protect our children. Visit the Prisons and see the dehumanizing conditions of prisoners who are being traumatized. Prisoners become slaves to private companies that pay them pennies when they have families to support. They also need to visit the current inpatient and outpatient Drug Treatment Centers. The officials need to provide accessible health care to folks who live in trauma. The politicians drive expensive cars, wear fancy rings, expensive apparel, buy themselves out of trouble with expensive attorneys and start their own businesses at the expense of tax payers votes. Wow let us give them a Pow! It gives me Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that this is the life of the American politician. I can't forget how fast their mouths run at a rate of 100 words per min and their action say otherwise. We the people in order to form a more perfect union and establish justice and insure domestic peace need to make educated decisions for our communities, state and nation. WE need to keep our leaders accountable. Our votes matter because all lives matter in love and love is a responsible community! I now agree our votes need to count instead of the electoral college when we are educated about the presidential candidates.

February 14th was bitter sweet for me. Sweet that 1DIVINELINE2HEALTH passed the 2015 and 2016 Attorney General Audit and 2017 is still pending. This public charity has been scrutinized because our platform is for the voiceless, hopeless, homeless, orphans, Street Sisters, Addicts, simply people who lack love and receive the love from compassionate messengers who volunteer in different capacities. It is a miracle we thrive with the limited amount of money we receive monthly. Even though, it makes us inept to the banks. As a public charity our hope is dope! I pray our assets will become our leverage this year to obtain the Love Drop-In Center and eventually the Love Depot. Yes I was BITTER about the Valentine Massacre that took place in Stoneman Douglass High School Shooting. A 19 year old mentally deranged man used an AR-15 to gun down 17 precious lives. This young man, Nikolas Cruz, was an orphaned, bullied, out cast, and had a fascination with guns and knives.  I am curious to know what type of video games he played? What does his actions display? We have many Cruzes being raised right now. We need help in our schools. That is why today is a BETTER day because LOVE is an EPIDEMIC of PEACE and JUSTICE for ALL whereby children and adults care for our communities. My new kindred spirit Stacey Yeager will agree and I can't wait to join with her forces! Violence breeds violence while Love is REVOLUTIONARY. The children in Florida made it clear they are worth more than the $1.05 price tag that the National Rifle Association placed on them through the contribution to Senator Marco Rubio campaign. Sad how our children have a price tag on their heads not only in Florida but in every state and country around the world.

On February 10th in Westerville, Ohio 2 veteran amazing officers, Anthony Morelli (29 years), and Eric Joering (16 years)  were called to a domestic violence dispute were killed by Quentin Smith who illegally owned a gun. Quentin, had a history of violence and now is being considered by the Franklin County prosecutor for the death penalty. Does killing Quentin avenge the death of these fallen American Heroes? These men were known to advocate for children. They were never trigger happy like some cops I know. Our judicial system is in DEEP trouble. The prisons have many folks locked up because they lack love growing up. There are people in prison who steal to feed there families. Ex-Felons can't get a decent job because their past criminal records are more valid than the person in front of them that changed. There are Street Sisters charged not only for prostitution but for drug possession. We need more rehabilitation than prisons! I respect and love John Rush,
John and Clean Turns Crew
CEO of She Has A Name/Clean Turns. A godly, family, and business man who gives people second chances. Their mission is to strengthen communities with an empowered work force by creating profitable social enterprises. He donated the cleaning services for our Gilgal House #2 and it was left squeaky clean. I attended their open interview a few weeks ago. Sheila, is the most compassionate and firm HR Director I have met. The late folks were told to come back on time for the next open interview.  It is not easy to work with felons. They need consistency, training, safe and compassionate leaders to direct them to a healthy and successful lifestyle. I plead with the officials to redistribute funds to the real trench workers that show a pattern of fiscal responsibility. In addition, redistribute current resources allocated to the fathered in institutions into the communities that are hurting with poverty, drug addiction, prostitution, truancy in the schools, and high crime rate. Trench workers don't ask for duplication of services we survive through resource networking and barter among ourselves to become actionable love; the remedy to those who hurt. Can our systems learn from Trench Workers we are the grass root movement. Today was a perfect example. Remember when people are deprived of their basic rights; they act out in violence.

Bureaucrats creating more red tape which is the color of the blood shed of the innocents lives taken by violence in our schools, streets, alleys, and homeless camps. Our schools are for education not annihilation of young lives. Gilgal #2, our safe house is for survivors of human trafficking, opiate addiction, and battered women syndrome is located on the Hilltop which is the west side of Columbus. The Hilltop is a hub of human trafficking and opiate overdose deaths. According to last year Celebrate One brochure the Hilltop has the highest infant mortality of 15.5% in comparison to 8.4% in Franklin County, 7% at the state level and the national average for 2017 is 5.8%. There are children living on the west side who have parents that are addicts, street sisters, pimps and drug dealers that attend schools. Enter West Broad Elementary and Finland Elementary Schools and see the disparities. West Broad Elementary has 500 students, 24 teaching staff, 1 child psychologist and counselor, and a split nurse and their after school funding was eliminated for 2018. Nowadays, children are being incarcerated because they act out by destroying school properties and hurting their peers and teachers. In the mean time they are being taught the pythagoras theorem and the slope of a line.
The curriculum needs to be changed. Education needs to be holistic. Let us get these kids to eat healthy and teach them all type of exercises including brain exercises to generate new brain cells that trauma destroys. Please parents and school administrators go advocate on behalf of these special needs kids to your officials you need skilled staff to help. Stop using medications that are stimulants as chemical restraints it damages their brains and train them to divert their negative energy. Teachers get beat up and become disabled and school districts deny the benefits to rehabilitate them. A lot of these children have behavior issues because they live in trauma. That is why the People Justice Program, Columbus People's Partnership and CARE Coalition exist to educate about trauma and teach restorative practices in our communities. There is an area of the Love Depot that can be used as a restorative/boarding school that the Gilgal #2 is right across from.  Those children in our community with trauma can be there. The school district can send them to us and we provide our own curriculum and they can pay our staff including a pediatric nurse and see the healing begin. Behaviors are determined by two primordial emotions, love and fear. We know it takes time for people to trust but perfect love drives out fear. The children who act out live in fear their brain is always in a fight and flight mode.
Amygdala is the fear and impulse control part of the brain 
Someone says a word or touches a child on the shoulder and it becomes a trigger for them to act out. How can we help them? We need to create a safe, loving, peaceful, and engaging community that makes them WHOLE. History teaches us that several decisions that took place in 1960s demoralized our schools. The Bible and Prayer was removed from our Schools. Meditation has been scientifically proven to be a healing source in the part of the brain that trauma damages. There are good lessons in the Bible it is the oldest and #1 best seller and the only book that has been the most translated. Every library needs to have several of them. It is our judicial system with the help of insensitive and selfish folks that have created the perfect environment for the blood shed in and out of schools. The ancient book said "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he would not depart from it." It is sad to look at American dollar bills state "In God We
Trust" and that is not evident in the policies that are being pushed down our throats. The ten commandments were removed not only in public building but our schools. Let us be realistic that decision has only led to high crime and death toll in society.  Nowadays, we have children who are rapist, murderers and disrespectful to authority figures. Our founding fathers were not perfect but believed in prayer and biblical principles in their practices. In order for our nation to rise above the status quo EVERYONE needs to live the golden rule. "Do unto others like you want them do unto you." What about if all the schools in America had this statement displayed in 10 different languages? Maybe all the bullying, arrogance, bigotry and selfish behaviors can be corrected and eliminated. I believe that our children are naturally good and created to love. The home and school are two places children spend the most time in and need to experience love and feel safe. I hope for us to create the Love Epidemic to promote the key ingredients of HOPE, LOVE, FAITH to create safe places for our children to grow in our communities.

Why do teachers need to be trained to shoot kids? Traumatized children can be rehabilitated. They are more resilient than adults. The school need to be a healthy and safe zone instead of a gun zone. Keep the Marshall law out of our schools and communities. The American Psychological Association states "A traumatic event is one that threatens injury, death, or the physical integrity of self or others and also causes horror, terror, or helplessness at the time it occurs. Traumatic events include sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, community and school violence, medical trauma, motor vehicle accidents, acts of terrorism, war experiences, natural and human-made disasters, suicides, and other traumatic losses." Our children only exhibit behaviors that are taught if their parents are traumatized. No matter what people say about children they are loyal to their parents even if they are the perpetrators. Why is that you ask? It is simple children LOVE unconditionally. The perpetrators know that. Imagine having the thought of your mom die to a fentanyl overdose by the time you come home from school? Children need safe folks to talk to and teach them how to express anger. They need counselors. Some students learn slowly because they have many distractions that prevent them from concentration. The teachers need tools such as multi-sensory kits in each of their classrooms to divert disruptive behavior and the aide can help during those episodes. Children who beat up their school teachers need to exercise. Get them tired! Put them in athletic teams to learn the art of self discipline and team building. It is so easy to get a prescribed synthetic drug as a chemical restrain; however, it starts the addiction in the developing brain. As a result, the children become walking mummies dependent on a drug to concentrate and become an object of ridicule. What about if the children could be fed the nutrients needed to replace the chemical imbalance in their brains and have tutoring programs in a peaceful and loving environment. Learn about other children from other cultures through out the world. They learn how to create things with their own hands like create a veggie or fruit garden.

Many of our children in the inner cities don't even know how to eat healthy they live in food deserts. The only meal they eat is from the schools. Thank God for the Hilltop Shalom Zone they will be having the Summer Hype Program to help our Hilltop kids. Something GOOD will be happening in the HOOD in the next few weeks. We were denied a grant for the Hilltop Butterfly Garden. However, we will have children camping and creating gardens in our S Oakley site. No matter the opposition we will have the camping event for our children in the Butterfly Garden. We have a few organizations that are committed to make the Hilltop a Beautiful Spectacle of Hope, Love, Peace, and Faith instead of death and violence. I am excited to talk and meet with our near future 14 year old board director that will lead us to in some breaking grounds to join our trench worker platform to live love and protect the lives of our children and youth here and everywhere stay tune! This March For Our Lives will #NEVERAGAIN disqualify the voices of youth and adults who are armed with LOVE and PEACE instead of being armed with Assault Rifles! #WHAT IF our politicians and commander and chief, Donald Trump see and live actionable love through our demonstration today? Only then Love will Heal the Sick & Heal our World!
