Oh, how grateful and thankful I am to the Lord for he is good. I will sing praise to the name of the Lord who is above all lords. O Lord our God, the majesty and glory of your name fills all the earth and overflows the heavens. For you have never yet forsaken those who trust in you.
Psalms 7, 8, 9, vs 17 vs 1 vs 10

I asked my son to give me a hug. He did. But he hugged me too hard. I think is called a "bear hug" the outcome is that I have been in terrible pain in my back from that kind of pressure. Since I have osteoporosis, from that stupid hysterectomy. It feels as if one of my ribs is cracked. My son is very sorry for causing me such pain. I know he did not mean to do that, as he told me, "Mom, I thought it be good for you if I cracked your back." I would never let anybody mess with my body unless they are doctors. He never understood about osteoporosis. I hope from now on he understands it better. I have a doctor's appoinment a bit later today. I know he is going to send me for an x-ray. I am not looking forward driving the distance to the hospital and all that waiting.
However, I am going to take a new book that I have not yet started reading. Is called "Burned Alive." Is about a young girl tragedy of betrayal, kidnapping and murder. Right now I am in the middle of finishing reading, Roots, by Alex Haley. It was shown as a movie in the 70's. I never liked that decade it was a boring decade for me and I felt the music and the programs on TV where boring also. I heard about that TV movie back in the 70's. People at work were in rare form that year, but I did not know exactly why. There was a silent current of negativity and anger in the atmosphere.
I was in my early 20's and I never knew until I started reading the book this year and watching the movie. I got the movie, or should I say, all of them from part 1 to part 8 the final episode and the complete movie, Roots, filmed in Hollywood thta was separate. These were all purchased at a yard sale. It has all the famous and populars actors of those years, like Cicely Tyson among other excellent actors. Funny how when you are so young things happen in your own country that you don't even know about.
The Civil Rights movement. I was 16 when America was falling apart, and the center of all that chaos was the Civil Rights movement, Vietnam War, the university confrontations with government forces, like Kent university where the military opened fired on protesting students killing some of them and the hippy movement.
I heard about the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King from my older brother, that was because my brother went into the city, we lived in the suburbs, and he got chased. by some men. He came home and told us about it all the violance in the city. I was not scare but I was a bit confused about all that was going on. We hardly watched TV except for the funny shows. We never listen to the news. Except when they interrupted the program for a special bulletin, like for the killing of Dr. King and Robert Kennedy.
On the death of Jack Kennedy, I heard about it on the way home from school. I ran home and told my father who was very upset. I cried and got on my knees and asked God not to let it be true. Of course it was a bit late for that. I didn't even knew the president. We did not watched the news because at that time we did not own a TV but I remember how clody the sky was and how the heavens looked as if it was grieving. Those days after the killing were terrible and an umbrella of fear and sorrow that was in the air. As if the world was about to end.
I was about 11 years old. At the same time of the President Jack Kennedy death, a serial killer was loose in Boston. This horrible man was going around killing women, they called him, "The Boston Strangler." Women were terrorized for he had killed them right in their homes. I and no one in my family new nothing about it. Thank God for his protection.
