All of you please remember that it must be JAMAICA FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD!!! lIFT YOUR THOUGHT PROCESSES!
1. ‘Awake! for morning in the Bowl of Night

All of you go to JAMLINK AND READ AS WELL.
Thanks Vinton for your comments. Mark, Kadene and Hansen we will continue to be the unsung heroes. ‘ We seek no greater honour, than just to know Him more and count our gains as losses to the glory of our LORD. For we have blessed beyond measure and by His strength alone , we overcome. Oh, we all can count successes like diamonds in our hands but these trophies could not equal to the grace by which we stand.
Excerpts from: Michael English’s , In Christ Alone’.

Thanks for your encouragement Griffins. I do hope that in our own resolute way we are having a positive impact (in the long run) on the future of Jamaica. We rely on people like yourself to spread the word and encourage others to become more active in our country’s affairs. We cannot sit idly by and do nothing. History has proven that great change comes about by an idea from one person. We don’t have to be a hero to do heroic things. Blessings!

T.G. on the scene as a matter of urgency!
Every Ministry needs an anti – corruption arm for it is not only in civil works and large contacts you have corruption.

You know it baffles me that the P.N.P. can criticise the criteria for the selection of path beneficiaries, those criteria were set up by their administration and they had no problem with it. come on deacon be more objective.
Robot taxis not only break the law by operating without the proper licenses but they are the worse drivers on the road.

Just to say as a matter of urgency, Kadene and Mark you need to get everything on the 18 policemen involved in the Montego Bay lotto scam. How these men are being retired, why are they not arrested and face charges?
In the disappearance of Kemar Walters amd Oliver Duncan and the arrest of three policemen and one more to be caught. yes there are good cops, but those who are criminals are dreadful criminals. uniformed salaried, criminals. now who is going to say that all i do is beat upon police- you see the law is ‘not a shackle’ so it is freedom for all to do as you like. Mr. Patterson thank you for your great legacy.i hope you feel good with the condition of this country!!!all of you sat there collecting your great pay packages and like nero jamaica burns and bleeds. Cliffe Hughes i invite you to read Abeng and Jamlink – i big u up and your committed team. God be with everyone of you,bless you and keep, unlike us you are known by the public and you have put yourselves on the cutting edge of investigating the wrongs in our society.

Vinton your piece is great. Keep writing. The good old maxim, ‘The pen is mightier than the sword’ is still true today. Thank you Mark, Kadene and all others who sponsor this on-line forum. You can only grow from strength to strength.

A comment on the Observer’s poll: Jesus said, ‘Give unto Caesar the things that belong to Caesar, and onto God the things that belong to God’s’. Churches should not escape the tax net. Just go into a church in our inner city communities and you will see how poor people’s money is spent. Yes churches must have a pleasant atmosphere, but I think we are competing with the Image churches in the U.S.

WE CANNOT LIVE A ‘Good HOUSE Keeping’ or ‘A Martha Stewart’ or an ‘Oprah’ magazine life style on our per capita income. We are non-productive, yet we want large salaries, the best cars, the most palatial homes, shop at Kingston 21; brag about your trips abroad, and then complain how life is so very hard. Priority my friends: politicians, churches, professionals, business communities and ordinary citizens slow down ask yourself how your selfishness has got us to where we are now.

Have a good day.
