Football Player Loses Wife To Cancer One Month After Wedding

Using a wheelchair to meet her groom at the end of the aisle, Keasha (Rutledge) Draft married the love of her life, 35-year-old football player Chris Draft, in a ceremony Nov. 27 in Atlanta. Sadly, just one month later to the date, Keasha lost her battle to cancer and passed away Dec. 27.

Video of the couple’s ceremony and reception shows what an emotional and loving celebration their wedding day was as the bride shares a first dance with her husband, cuts the cake, and tosses the bouquet to guests who hope to find a love as strong as hers
.
Chris Draft last played for the Washington Redskins in 2010 but dedicated much of his life to giving back to kids by participating in different service projects including his own Chris Draft Family Foundation, which empowers families to live healthy lifestyles. His friends have asked everyone to send prayers to the families as they grieve during this difficult time.

Ricky Dillard & New G - One More Chance

I'm always thankful that the Creator gives me another chance. I can never grasp how the God whose greatness is displayed in the firmament can care for me as an individual. Because of His grace and tender mercies, He always does. His praise shall continually be on my lips.

Everyone's looking at him.

James Hewlett sits in a west-side McDonald's, nursing a small bag of fries. He's drawing stares because it's early afternoon and he's dressed like he's about to hit the stage of the Apollo Theater. Fifty years ago.

"People, they ain't used to people lookin' like this," says the best-dressed man within a mile of this McDonald's. "Somebody told me yesterday, 'Why do you dress like that?' I said, "Because life is a celebration, and every day you ought to dress like it's your last day."

Hewlett, 55, is a traveling church organist and sometimes guest preacher. His look lies somewhere between Little Richard and Jackie Wilson on the rhythm-and-blues spectrum, with some of his own flair thrown on top.

Today he wears a crisp gray suit despite the sweltering summer heat. His shoes were once part of an alligator. A handkerchief spreads across his lapel, arranged in folds and held in place by pins. His tie is studded with a massive fake diamond earring, while another earring juts from his ear, held in place by Superglue because his earlobe is torn. And his hair is a magnificent cascade of waves and curves, sculpted by the same hairdresser the Temptations visited back in their heyday.

A New Level of Consciousness

"There comes a time when humanity is called to SHIFT into a new level of consciousness." As stated by Waangari Maathai, the late Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, this time has been predicted by the lost Mayan civilization to take place in its fullest manifestation on December 21, 2012. It will not mean the end of the world. As can be seen by the events leading up to this momentous occasion, it will be drastic renovation of the world's order.

Bishop TD Jakes Sermon "Secret place - Devil you can't stop this"

The Secret Place of the Most High God. I have been wanting to know just where the secret place exists for most of my 63 years. Finally, praise the Lord, Bishop T.D. Jakes has revealed it to my satisfaction. It's the same place where it has been surmised that God's children go upon absence from their bodies. AND, we don't have to be dead to have this blessed experience! It's the same place where His angels are gathered around God's throne in continuous prayer, intercession and praise. It's the same place I first experienced at 13-years-of-age when I experienced the anointing of the Holy Ghost!

Is your belief at an all-time low? Depressed? Grieving, having lost loved ones? Angry? Hungry? Utilities shut off? Cold? Ailing? Terminal? Spouse or friend lost in a relationship? Dog/cat gone? Penniless? Foreclosed? Doubting? Poor? Rich yet empty? No values? Addicted? Fat? Skinny? Perceived as ugly? Classical beauty/handsome with no self-esteem? Unappreciated? Pessimistic? Worried? Lonesome? Well, feel lonesome no longer because I could provide good company since I have experienced many and most of the things I asked you about without souring on life because I learned that all these negative things shall pass. Hope begins each day because God is able to reverse your misfortunes according to your faith. You can change your emotions by changing your thoughts, your words, your decisions, and your actions. Start today and God will do the rest.

The Way of All Flesh

Follows the story of the cells of Henrietta Lacks, a Black woman who died in 1951 of cancer. Before she died cells were removed from her body and cultivated in a laboratory in the hope that they could help find a cure for cancer. The cells (known as the HeLa line) have been growing ever since, and the scientists found that they were growing in ways they could not control.

The Truth About Sodium Fluoride

Do you know that "fluoride" is in your drinking water? It's also in most commercial toothpastes.

Looking on the two different popular brands of toothpastes in my possession this morning I clearly see on the tube, the message in small print:
Keep out of reach of children younger than 6 years of age. If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.

What? What, what? Susceptibility to sickness or death is less possible on the day we turn 6 years of age? Do they try to suggest that unlike strychnine poisoning sodium fluoride is not dangerous if used in the mouth rather than ingested by swallowing? Download the file below to read, "The Truth About Sodium Fluoride" and be aware (beware)!

Jenae Veal - Atlanta Cancer Survivor

FOX MEDICAL TEAM: Young Cancer Survivor: MyFoxATLANTA.com

ATLANTA - There are a lot of adjectives to describe breast cancer. Sexy is usually not one of them. But Janae Veal wants to change that and inspire women facing cancer to see the inner beauty no disease can take away.

Breast cancer really cuts to the heart of a woman's identity. Janae Veal is a good example.

At 30, she was a fitness model who wanted to show the world how to be really strong but still feminine. Cancer changed her body, and took away her hair.

But Veal was determined it would not steal her belief she could still be beautiful.

"Today is my last chemo session. Woo hoo! I'm excited. I'm excited for the rest of my journey," said Janae Veal.

No Impact From 'Bank Transfer Day' [FOX 11-07-2011]

Leave it to the establishment's media to try and whitewash the truth to the masses. Better known as rhetoric and plain, old-fashion brain-washing, it's simply not as effective as it once was. Generations are smarter and people are waking up from a long lethargy. Go Fox-TV. C'mon 12/21/12.

Bank Transfer Day Attracts Thousands on Facebook « Banks vs Credit Unions's Blog


"Something's happening here,. What it is ain't exactly clear. You better stop children, what's that sound. Everybody look what's going down." It all leads up to 12/21/2012, when the great change will be in full effect! It's not a great physical destruction of the world. It heralds the death of an outmoded level of consciousness that no longer serves humanity's needs. The end of all our carefully cherished assumptions about life and the universe will surely be a painful experience, and is bound to have painful repercussions in the political and social world. However, the ancient prophecies are equally clear in promising the birth of a new, more enlightened field of consciousness. http://www.2012-spiritual-growth-prophecies.com/2012-prophecy.html

The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975

Currently shown at Royal Oak's Main Art Theater. The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 mobilizes a treasure trove of 16mm material shot by Swedish journalists who came to the U.S. drawn by stories of urban unrest and revolution. Gaining access to many of the leaders of the Black Power Movement—Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver among them—the filmmakers captured them in intimate moments and remarkably unguarded interviews. Thirty years later, this lush collection was found languishing in the basement of Swedish Television. Director Göran Olsson and co-producer Danny Glover bring this footage to light in a mosaic of images, music and narration chronicling the evolution one of our nation's most indelible turning points, the Black Power movement. Music by Questlove and Om'Mas Keith, and commentary from prominent African-American artists and activists who were influenced by the struggle—including Erykah Badu, Harry Belafonte, Talib Kweli, and Melvin Van Peebles—give the historical footage a fresh, contemporary resonance and makes the film an exhilarating, unprecedented account of an American revolution. Featuring music by The Roots and Michael Jackson.

Detroit - Praise 102.7

Effective this morning, Detroit has a new FM radio station, Praise 102.7, by Radio One. All praise to the creator as there is a beautiful new sound emanating from this city.

DC Douglas' "Why #OccupyWallStreet? 4 Reasons."

Yes! I support OccupyWallStreet. It's time that the best interests of this great country are brought to the forefront of domestic planning. Radical corporate America has been acting in an "anti-USA" manner as if they are trying to destroy the country. Kudos to the protest movement. Things have gotten out-of-hand. After all, it was democratic ideals for which our fathers died, not freedom for corporate greed.

Cure For the Lack of Knowledge

Toxic Smoothing Agents (emulsifiers) - In Foods, Vaccines, & Cosmetics

So I arose this morning confident in the sunny day and the state of my health only to learn that I have been using Listerine daily to gargle not knowing that it contains Poloxamer 407, an emulsifier that is health endangering. What? What, what? How could the FDA allow the marketing of such like products to the American public for human consumption knowing there is a danger or inherent risk leading up to, and including, death? Gargling is classed as consumption. Bye, bye... Listerine!

Poloxamer 407, the key ingredient in most mouthwashes, is a detergent. It causes bladder cancer in animals. Long term use of mouthwashes is associated with an increased risk of mouth and throat cancers. Listerine contains Poloxamer 407.
