Joan of Arc & the Score ...... So we all look alike after all ......... :)

I have been struggling with something for quite some time, and it involves my heterosexuality, post Katrina New Orleans, and those who would used my skin color to incriminate me.  Put quite simply I've been mistaken for the wrong age group.  I taught juvenille deliquents, I AM NOT ONE!  SOCIAL TRENDS WOULD, HOWEVER, INTERPRET ALL OF MY ADULTHOOD FROM THE GAY PERSPECTIVE MAKING ME A GANGSTA!!! THUS, I MUST RELOCATE!!! I SIMPLY CANNOT ACT LIKE AN ANGOLA CRIMINAL ON PAROLE IF I AM NOT ONE.
                                       
             Strangely, I call St. Joan of Arc Parish home, or at least I did when I was a child.  What I underestimated was the number of people guilty about integration in my youth, many of the elderly, and what would happen if ever there were a backlash against civil rights.  With that 'badass' gangsta thing in entertainment ruling people's mentality it was always easy for racists to confuse the innocent with the guilty.  To make a long story short my life has been on the same type of misidentification as the saints of old. Well, maybe, they have been accurately identifying me .. as heterosexual i.e.  OJ style (forgetting about Lynn Swan, Dusty Baker, Joe Morgan, etc).  While I believe in women's rights, I will NOT be identified as a criminal. Pray with me ......

For Faith



In the face of your enemies, in the face of harassment, ridicule, and doubt, you held firm in your faith. Even in your abandonment, alone and without friends, you held firm in your faith. Even as you faced your own mortality, you held firm in your faith. I pray that I may be as bold in my beliefs as you, St. Joan. I ask that you ride alongside me in my own battles. Help me be mindful that what is worthwhile can be won when I persist. Help me hold firm in my faith. Help me believe in my ability to act well and wisely. Amen.


Prayer for the Intercession of St. Joan of arc

Dear Sweet Patron Saint,
I implore you in the name of God to intercede on my behalf and guide me. Help me to be strong when people are against me and question my belief in God. Help me to stand by my faith and my decisions concerning my faith. I wish to do only God's will, and I beg of you, O Patron Saint, to help keep me on His true path, and guide me in His will. I need friends now, more than ever before, and I choose God as my first and foremost best friend, above all others. But I also choose you as a close and special friend to relate to and to talk to. Please counsel me by any means necessary that is in the will of God to do.

Please let me have the wisdom and understanding to receive his message and the patience and virtue to listen so that I may understand his word.

St. Joan, Pray for us.
Amen.
