New Yorkers Are No Heroes...

Mr. Wesley's story, is the construction worker who leaped (I dislike American English) onto the MTA rail tracks, in order to protect another guy who fell onto the tracks while suffering a seizure. He covered the ill man with his body while the train rolled over them. Hmm this is old news, right?

This morning Zee100 FM held a call-in session where the question was asked, "Would you jump on the train tracks to save a man, while another train approached?" The response was amazing, can you believe that no caller respond in the negative. Suddenly, every NYer would jump on the tracks to save another persons life. It was rather annoying, and I wondered, if this was the same NY where you would have to hold on to a post in order not to get pushed onto the tracks during rush hour. Why do people turn goodie goodie whenever they are put on the air. I feel one of the worlds biggest problems right now is that we have too many good people period. With so many good people around there is simply no room for improvement, yuk. Anyway dude jumped onto the rails because he didn't want his daughters, who were with him at that time, witnessing such a gory scene, how sweet.

Do not get me started on some of us Christians who jump up and down at church, while we carry on with our bad selves in every other place outside the corners. Mya Angelou put it quite well - When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed And need God to clean my mess.When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not claiming to be perfect,My flaws are far too visible But, God believes I am worth it.When I say... "I am a Christian"I still feel the sting of pain.I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name.When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not holier than thou,I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow.

Lets all get off of our high stools and get real with one another, the world will be so much better for it.
