Ray Lewis Retires In Style As He And The Baltimore Ravens Take The Super Bowl
Many noticed Lewis' undershirt had "Psalms 91" on it, which began trending on Twitter and was featured on other websites. For some, Psalm 91 is a prayer of blessings, for others it's a prayer of protection. If I were standing on a field and the 49ers were charging towards me, I know I'd need all the "protecting" I could get (LOL).
I usually pray Psalm 91 for protection, especially the line "He (God) will give His angels charge over you" because in life, you never know what could happen. I admire men like Lewis, Tim Tebow and others, who are humble enough to give God thanks for their lives and stand up for the faith. God bless you guys.

Sarah Palin Supports Dr. Laura In N-Word Flap
Dr. Laura Schlessinger
Radio talk show host, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, came under fire recently, for using the N-Word repeatedly, during an on-air call between herself and a black woman that sought her advice, regarding her interracial marriage.
The caller complained her white husband's friends use racist speech when they come over to their home for visits. It is a problem quite a few interracial couples are confronted with all over the world.
Sarah Palin
The solution to the problem is to address the issue by politely informing those in question that such speech is not appropriate. If they refuse to desist, they really are not your friends or that of your spouse. That should have been the answer Dr. Laura furnished the distressed caller with, but she took an unprofessional approach.
Dr. Laura insensitively called the caller thin-skinned, informing her she should not have married outside of her race, if she was not prepared to withstand such racism and offensively kept repeating the word "nig*er" as if she was somehow going to desensitize the black caller to it, during an exchange being broadcasted to millions of listeners.
It was an inappropriate answer that revealed Dr. Laura is harboring racial issues. It's one thing when you face racism or xenophobia in the world. However, one should not have to put up with it in one's home, which is one's sanctuary.
Dr. Laura has announced her retirement as a result of the incident. However, former Vice Presidential Candidate, Sarah Palin, waded into the controversy today by stating, via Twitter, Dr. Laura's conduct is covered by Free Speech and informed the embattled radio host, "Don't retreat...reload."
This much like the 9/11 mosque controversy should be a no-brainer - yes, it is covered by the Constitution, but it doesn't mean you should insensitively and hurtfully undertake conduct widely deemed inappropriate. The public should forgive Dr. Laura and she needs to acknowledge her behavior was hurtful and change her ways in this regard.

Joran Van Der Sloot's Attorney Quits
Joran Van Der Sloot
The attorney of murderer, Joran Van Der Sloot, has quit as his legal representation, due to the fact he confessed to killing, 21-year-old, Stephany Flores and has agreed to tell authorities, where he buried 18-year-old, Natalee Holloway, after sexually assaulting and killing the young women in separate incidents.
It's ironic that Van Der Sloot is complaining of the Peru prison system, stating he will most likely be sexually assaulted and killed, when that is exactly what he has done to innocent women that did him no harm.
Van Der Sloot needs to seek treatment and God's forgiveness, because as it stands, he is a danger to the public. People need to stop, think and restrain themselves, before they commit such crimes that devastates families.
