The Mayor could have come into this position bringing with him some good home training, strong character, integrity and he could have taken a page from my son's book. My son's dad passed away when he was eleven years old, one year younger than the Mayor's twin sons. One day Tim told me, Ma, there are lots of things I could get involved in, but I don't and I won't, because I do not want to hurt my mother. Now that sound like a responsible young man, and I must say a wonderful, productive young man. If the Mayor would consider his mother and even his dad and decide not to hurt them would help him a long way.
The Mayor contradicts many of his statements, as he said he and his wife had worked thru problems long ago, well, if they worked thru it, then why was she is so much pain when she came on television recently? My heart goes out to her.
I understand being a public figure, you can't just get up and leave because you want to, like the typical woman, we don't know what kinds of threats hang over this woman head. I believe she is a wonderful woman, wife, mother and she need our prayers. However, I believe the Mayor knows the right church lingo, as it remind me of the homeless people that stand on the corner with a God 'bless you sign', hoping this will weigh on the hearts of the people to give, give and give.
When the Mayor went to the church to speak, was strategy as the church is still the strongest institution in the Black community. However, when the Mayor was going into the church and the way he shoved the reporters showed that he is not broken.
Now for the Church of God in Christ where he sort haven, is an embarrassment to me personally, as when I was growing up, my dad was a Pastor of this church, and back in the day this church stood on fasting and prayer and they preached holiness. Bishop Mason was a praying man, but I really don't know what the name of this. I believe pastors look at some of the "stuff" they do in private and based on their on conduct they want to embrace unrighteousness. Remember, righteousness exhalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
Mayor Kilpatrick, come clean or stay away dirty. Go into your private prayer closet and you ask God for forgiveness, and allow your children and wife see you crying out to God, that way you won't have to get on the television saying I'm sorry over and over again. You are indeed an arrogant man, and we all know that power corrupt, but absolute power corrupt absolutely.
