Many of you probably have gotten tired of my blogs, which described the evil going on in Georgia and my community. Most probably think that I have been exhaggerating. Actually, the past eight years have been far, far worse than described in the blogs. I have been completely shunned socially here in Jasper, GA for the past nine years. Always before I was a community leader. Police monitoring my phone and email for the past nine years have made sure I couldn't find a soulmate here. I have never had a date in this county! There has been an unending effort by those hold political or police power in this state, plus some people at the federal level, to destroy every aspect of my life - including that life itself. There is going to be a very special place in Hell for these state officials and local Boss Hogs. No doubt about that.
The most evil thing was that virtually every neighbor on my street, accepted financial bribes to file false affidavits that I had committed crimes I did not commit. Girls, who were total strangers, claimed I had raped them. Parents, who were total strangers, claimed I mollested their children. These were all lies, and they were eventually exposed. I have a feeling that this last effort of Satan is going to sooner or later make national news.
Well, nuff said on the negative side. A couple weeks ago, I mentioned about giving the backpack I used to travel throughout Mexico on a fellowship many years ago, to a Mexican man who was struggling along the road with about 40 pounds of plastic grocery bags. It was spontaneous thing and I expected nothing in return.
Just a few minutes ago, just as I drove in the driveway from the daily hike in the woods with my Scottish herd dogs, a van pulled up. In it was the brother of the man to whom I gave the backpack. His wife had baked me a batch of home-made tamales filled with chicken that they grew on their farm. Um-m-m-m, those tamales were the best Mexican food I had eaten since I was last in Mexico. The man had also mixed up a batch of home made Mexican style ice cream, with nuts and tropical fruits in it. Delicious! I could wait until dessert time to eat it.
Okay, maybe to some high falluting people, their gift was nothing, but to me it was everything. First of all, I was hungry! LOL But also, it was the love that the woman put into raising those chickens, trimming the corn shucks for the tamales and baking those tamales just for me, that counted.
I sincerely hope that the Master of Breath blesses that kind Mexican family seven times over.

Some of the best gifts we receive are not only spontaneous, but they're from the heart & without a price tag. Awesome blog.

My only question is.. why do you continue to live there? .. These people do not deserve a person of your quality in there county.. It reminds me of the Walking Tall movie.. But your act of kindness blessed you with the touch from some decent human beings.. Maybe this might be a turn in directions for you there.. for you I hope so... 'I don't understand racism and people that are consumed by it.. I wish you the best

Why I haven't moved.
I tried to sell my house in 2002-2004. Only one realtor would take the listing. The others refused to. The realtor only showed it one time in two years, even though, houses of less quality were selling right and left. It is a nice house on a one acre wooded lot with a spring and mountain creek, a mile from downtown. THINGS ARE THAT CONTROLLED HERE!
When the local Habitat for Humanity started erected horrible sited houses on $50,000 lots had been subdivided into four lots, it became impossible to sell any decent house in the neigbhorhood. About two years ago, our housing market collapsed so nothing is selling.
If I did sell my house right now, I couldnt buy another one. In two years time, the collapse of the economy has caused my credit rating to go from about as good as you could get to about as bad as you can get.
So my only hope of getting out of here is a massive suit in Federal court against the State of Georgia for grotesque violations of my civil rights. The Civil Rigts investigators just shake their head every time they tell me more what Georgia officials had been doing. They still can't understand why. My only theory is that these evil people don't like to lose, so they kept upping the stakes, and making my life more miserable, thinking I would break. The current state administration is so out of touch with reality, that it does not realize that it is an example of mass insanity.

Mexican cooking is among the tastiest in the world, and doesn't need a lot of expensive ingredients.
It sounds like you sowed, and had a time to reap.
Good deal all around !

I must have missed all that's going on, but it sounds pretty nasty.
Home made Mexican food by actual Mexicans is awesome. Like Tom said, the natural ingredients make it delicious and very healthy.
Hope things improve for you soon, and keep doing good deeds. You blessed and received a blessing. I'm sure it was a blessing to the lady just to make you the food. Hispanics and Latinos are very warm and spiritual folks. I know from experience.
