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!

James Fortune & Fiya & Shawn McLemore & Zacardi Cortez I Believe-officia...

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.
