This Kid Ain't NO Joke...

I've given birth to 2 children.
After each delivery, I didn't know my own name let alone feel like moving.

In Long Beach, CA a 17yr old young lady, not only gave birth to her 8lb, 3 oz baby boy-BY HERSELF...
She wrapped him up, and proceeded to walk/jog FOUR BLOCKS TO THE HOSPITAL!

It's hard for me to get my son to clean up his room...and here this chile is delivering babies and transporting herself a la Fred Flintstone to the hospital!


Xochitl Parra holds newborn Alejandro, as her sister, left, a nurse and Parra's mother pose with her Saturday


Xochitl kept her pregnancy a secret from momz out of fear, but I like how she didn't throw the baby in a garbage can like so many other young women do.
She has accepted responsibility...and I ain't mad at her.

Wishing Xochitl & baby Alejandro the best in all of their endeavors!!

Another Parent, More Kids= ANOTHER Murder/Suicide

(CNN) -- Investigators have found the bodies of three small children and the father who allegedly abducted them from their home in Columbus, Georgia, two weeks ago, the FBI said Wednesday.

Eddie Harrington threatened to kill his children before disappearing with them, police say.

"It is my sad duty to report that deceased bodies of these children and Eddie Harrington were located this afternoon," said FBI Special Agent Gerald Green.

A coroner would confirm the identities, he added.

The remains were discovered in a wooded area of Columbus by a person walking nearby, Green said. Video Watch the FBI say the bodies were in a car »

Eddie Harrington, 28, whom police described as depressed, took the children March 5, police said.

Before he left, Harrington sent a letter indicating his intent to kill his twin 23-month-old girls, Aliyah and Agana Battle, and his son, Cedric Harrington, 3, officials said.

The day before Wednesday's grisly discovery, the children's mother told CNN's Nancy Grace that Harrington had threatened them before.

"He's just told me he'll do anything to keep me at that time, and he said that he was going to take them and ... kill himself and the kids," Agena Battle said.

"But then later on, he told me that it was just to prove to me that, you know, what he'll do for me."

Battle also described the moment earlier this month when she knew something was wrong.

"I got home and I realized that the kids weren't there, and Eddie wasn't there either, and when I looked on the dresser and read the note, that's when I realized that my kids are in trouble," she said.

A week ago, a tearful Battle publicly begged her boyfriend not to harm the children.

"I am asking the public to please help me. I want my children home where they belong, with me," she said at an FBI news conference.


"Please, if you see Eddie, the car or the children, please call 911. Please help me and keep them in your prayers." Video Watch the mother's tearful plea »

A child abduction alert was issued in Georgia after the children disappeared.

"We have great concern for the safety of these children," Green said at the time.

It was unclear what sparked Harrington's decision to take the children, authorities said. source

UPDATE: God Don't Like Ugly

AJC
Earl Paulk
Archbishop Earl Paulk expected to turn himself in
(p.s. as of 10am today, he still had not turned himself in)

Archbishop Earl Paulk, one of Atlanta's preeminent religious figures through the 1980s and 1990s, was supposed to turn himself in to Cobb County today on a perjury charge, but had not as of this afternoon.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation issued the warrant Monday. Paulk is charged with lying during a deposition in a sexual misconduct lawsuit. Paulk said Mona Brewer, the woman suing him, was the only sexual partner he had outside of his marriage.

The deposition in the case was taken in Cobb County, which is why the warrant was issued there.

John Bankhead, a GBI spokesman, said at 1:45 p.m. that Paulk was supposed to turn himself in at 10 a.m., but he had not shown up.

Nancy Bodiford, a spokeswoman for the Cobb County Sheriff's Office, said Paulk had an agreement to turn himself in within 48 hours after the warrant was issued about noon Monday.

Paulk could walk in at any time of day or night, she said. "When he and his attorney are coming in, I don't know," she said.

Paulk's criminal attorney did not return calls.

The perjury investigation began last summer after a DNA test showed Paulk fathered a son with his sister-in-law.

That son, the Rev. D.E. Paulk, now pastors the Cathedral at Chapel Hill in Decatur, the church in which Archbishop Paulk built his reputation.

Brandi Paulk, D.E.'s wife and a minister at the church, said the family had no comment about the arrest.

"We were caught off guard," by the warrant, she said.

"The news knew about it before our attorneys did. We are still in the process of sorting it out."

Archbishop Paulk built an interracial mega-church and a TV ministry in Decatur that attracted national attention and more than 10,000 members.

He also started an association of independent charismatic churches that had member churches across the nation.

His career has been plagued with rumors and charges of sexual indiscretions.

Mona and Bobby Brewer, former staff members at the church, sued Paulk in 2005. They dropped the suit last year for legal strategic reasons, and each filed their own suit against him and the church weeks later.

This man is just nasty.
He had an affair with his bro's wife and sired a child with her.
The child thought Paulk was his uncle, but was later told-he was his father.
Ewwww gross.
Wherever Paulk goes, hotmessness has his back, like his favoritest homey.
Too bad he's 80.
I wish he could've been put under somebody's jail like 30 yrs ago.
He's too old to care now.

Rap Videos + Black Girls= Hood Rat - Chickenhead Mentality aka ghetto

STUDY SHOWS RAP VIDEOS HARM BLACK GIRLS: Research says they're more likely to binge drink, have sex and adopt negative body image.

Watching hip hop videos that amplify sexually explicit and violent themes can lead to alcohol abuse and promiscuity among young black girls, according to a new study of sexual stereotypes in rap music footage.

The research was based on a survey of 522 African-American girls aged 14 to 18 who were asked how often they watched rap videos, questioned about their sex lives and asked to provide a urine sample for a marijuana screening, reports Reuters.

Researches found young black girls who spent more time watching rap music videos were more likely to binge drink, have sex with multiple partners, test positive for marijuana and have a negative body image.

"In rap music videos, the glamorized depictions of alcohol use are often portrayed in conjunction with sexual imagery and portrayals of drug use are often depicted as normal," wrote the researchers in a report appearing in the Journal of Women's Health.

The study comes from researchers at the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory Center for AIDS Research, School of Medicine at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia and the University of Alabama, Birmingham.

They said many psychosocial factors can adversely affect self-image, health status, and the likelihood of engaging in high-risk behaviors among young girls. But one such factor is exposure to rap music videos, which often portray African-American women as hypersexual and amoral and include content related to violence, sexuality and drug and alcohol abuse.

The report, entitled "Images of Sexual Stereotypes in Rap Videos and the Health of African-American Female Adolescents," concluded that there was a need for greater awareness and education about the risks associated with this media exposure.

He Shot WHO 3 Times?! -UPDATE 2: JEALOUSY + GUN=DEADLY COMBINATION

(Tyler Peterson- gunman, killed 7 people including himself, below)

Wis. AG: Deputy Shot Himself 3 Times

CRANDON, Wis. (AP) - An off-duty sheriff's deputy who killed six people apparently shot himself three times, with the last shot hitting him in the right side of the head, the state attorney general said Tuesday. Tyler Peterson, 20, shot himself twice under the chin before firing the third and fatal shot, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said.

Peterson also was shot once in the left biceps from a distance. The six people who died early Sunday were either students or recent graduates of Crandon High School, where Peterson also had graduated. They were at the house to share pizza and watch movies during the school's homecoming weekend.

Peterson died in the woods near a friend's home in Argonne. The lone survivor was scheduled for surgery Tuesday. Van Hollen said Peterson went to Jordanne Murray's home about 2 a.m. and argued with her after accusing her of dating someone else. Murray demanded Peterson leave, and he did, only to return with an AR-15 rifle.

"He didn't speak, he simply opened fire," Van Hollen said. Investigators found three bodies on or next to a couch - Lindsey Stahl, 14; Aaron Smith, 20, and Bradley Schultz, 20. Murray, 18, was found in the kitchen. Lianna Thomas, 18, was found in a closet, and Katrina McCorkle, 18, was just outside it. Both had apparently been trying to hide, Van Hollen said. The last person shot was survivor Charlie Neitzel, 21. He pleaded with Peterson after the first shot, only to have him fire again, Van Hollen said. Neitzel fell to the floor, where he lay still as Peterson fired a third time. "Playing dead until Peterson left, Neitzel survived," Van Hollen said.

It wasn't clear whether Peterson was struck in the biceps before or after he shot himself. The shootings devastated Crandon, a tight-knit town of 2,000, where many people knew at least one of the victims. "It's an unbelievable, nightmarish thing," said Pastor Bill Farr of Praise Chapel Community Church, which all of the victims' families attend. "I keep thinking, like many of the families, that I'm going to wake up and this is not something that happened, that it's just going to be normal again. That's not going to be the case."

The victims' families have met with Peterson's family and "hold no animosity toward them," Van Hollen said. The families, the church and the town's one funeral home were still working on funeral arrangements Tuesday. Farr's wife, Sjana Farr, said Peterson's family had requested his funeral be last out of respect for the victims' families.

************

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the Crandon, WI victims. I pray that our Father in heaven, has mercy upon Tyler. Father, you knew what he was thinking. Though the crime was heinous, your blood covers even that sin. I pray that your peace be upon the families affected and they'll have peace that surpasses all understanding in Jesus' name.

Amen.

I guess it was that serious!

Man Kills Self at City Council Meeting

CLARKSVILLE, Tennessee (Oct. 5) - A business owner shot and killed himself during a city council meeting after members voted against his request to rezone his property, witnesses said.

Officer talking to witnesses in Clarksville Tenn., after a man killed himself during a council meeting.

Ronald " Bo " Ward , owner of Bo 's Barber Shop, had told the council his business would go under if he could not get his home rezoned as commercial. After the 5-7 vote Thursday night, Ward stood and walked toward the council.

"Ya'll have put me under ... I'm out of here," he said before shooting himself in the head with a small handgun.

Fire and police officials attending the meeting immediately ushered the audience of about 50 into the hallway, where several people were sobbing.

At least one police officer is always on duty during council meetings, officials said. However, visitors are not required to go through a metal detector or any other screening.

"When a gun gets whipped out like that, someone is going to get shot, but I didn't know who," Councilman Bill Summers said. "You could've been right next to him, and I don't think you could have stopped that."

Mayor Johnny Piper said Thursday's council meeting would be the last held in that room. Ward had said the rezoning would increase his property value, allowing him to secure a loan to offset debt he incurred when he expanded his shop.

Only Because I'm Trying to Please YOU Lord!!

To set the tone of your busy day, marinate and apply the bible verse that has LITERALLY saved the lives (and they're none the wiser) of hateful bosses, annoying co-workers, disrespectful customers, rude drivers, loud neighbors, church members, and unnappreciative children. Because if we don't continue to pray FOR OURSELVES...well, let's remember that we're new creatures in Christ Jesus, amen?

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me. "
Psalm 51:10 (amplified bible)

The fruit of the Spirit we're focusing on for the remainder of this month is: Self-Control
