eakness is strength. Get up saint! when i become culpable of the charges against me i become capable of the changes required for repentance, renewal, and causing revolution (1 John 1:9; Proverbs 28:13) Roderick L. Barnes, Sr. compromise is the seed of corruption Roderick L. Barnes, Sr. if you think education is expensive try ignorance Roderick L. Barnes, Sr. stupidity is congenital... ignorance is a choice Roderick L. Barnes, Sr. diligence is smarter than intelligence Roderick L. Barnes, Sr. the one loves the least controls the relationship Roderick L. Barnes, Sr. No greater love has any man than this: than to lay down his life for His friends. -Jesus Christ I still believe that standing up for the truth of God is the greatest thing in the world. This is the end of life. The end of life is not to be happy. The end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. The end of life is to do the will of God come what may. -Martin Luther King, Jr. Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed unless it is faced. -James Baldwin".
