There have always been periods of war, famine and isolated disastrous events such as the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, which covered Pompeii and the eruption staining the White House during Monicagate.

Love, Barack Obama. Obama ended the worst two weeks of his presidential run with a razor-thin loss to Hillary Clinton in Indiana. His salve came earlier in the evening in North Carolina where he trounced Clinton and it stands to open the super delegate floodgates in the coming days.

More importantly, she lived. She lived at 1727 Green Street, Williams Emergency Housing Center operated by Haven House Services, Inc. She was 57 when she came to live with us in September of 2007. Rachel was a quiet woman and very pleasant, wispy and gray, with glasses. Her chore was house laundry. Every Saturday she did house laundry. She didn’t complain. Everybody liked Rachel.

Then we remembered that we had left a bag of Oreos sitting on the back seat. We asked, “Sally, are you eating those cookies?” We turned around to see Sally, her face smeared with chocolate cookie crumbs, slowly shaking her head “no.” We thought it was cute.

It took 20 years, countless sermons and several recent nationally televised interviews with his controversial pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright for Obama to realize there is something fundamentally wrong with Wright’s message.

All I knew was that I wanted to go on to college and then see the world beyond Southern Indiana. While I have traveled extensively, met a lot of interesting people and done a lot of interesting things, my journey is not complete nor is anyone else’s as we are a constant work in progress.
