for they were afraid

And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre: for they trembled, and were amased: neither said they any thing to any man: for they were afraide.

Mark 16:8 (GNV)

keeping watch, above his own

There was a man who wrote many things but Carlyle said that we could not be ruined because no lie could live forever. William Cullen Bryan said, "Truth crushed to earth, would rise again," and James Russell Lowell made it more plain that we would not be ruined or destroyed because he said that "Truth, forever on the scaffold, lies forever on the throne but that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch, above his own." These powerful scriptures were also used by the man in whom we celebrate his birthday today, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Dr. King told us to practice non-violence and the power of love. Non-violence and the power of love has brought us thus far, the agape love that we have for ourselves, that we have for our people is the reason why our people in this particular diaspora called North America  have not been totally ruined. We have not been totally destroyed, we have not been exterminated. So therefore my dear brother Wasalu, we call you, we thank you for what you've asked me to do and we shall continue to study to show ourselves "approved under God, workman that needn’t not be ashamed rightly this dividing the word of truth" and so at this time, in this city where young men's lives are not worth much in this city where our people have been discriminated against and kept from the resources which we rightly deserve as a majority of people in the city, we are dependent upon the most high creator of the ends of the world that I call Elohim Jehova, and we are dependent upon him to keep us from falling, to keep us from being ruined, to keep us from being exterminated, and we thank the Almighty for the privilege of being here with my niece is to impart these words and I hope it would be of assistance in this project God bless you and thank you.
