MANY PEOPLE FOLLOWING ME KNOW WHAT I DO, AS I HAVE HAD COMMENTS THROUGH THE YEARS ABOUT MY JOB. BUT ALMOST NO ONE KNOWS WHERE I DO IT. MY OFFICE IS IN THE HEART OF JACKSON,MS, LOCATED 1.2 MILES FROM THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL. THE AREA IS RAPIDLY BECOMING A BLIGHT, VACANT HOUSES AND ABANDONED BUSINESSES ARE A TESTAMENT TO GOOD TIMES NOW GONE. 2 BLOCKS AWAY AND THE PROPERTY VISIBLE FROM OUR PARKING LOT WAS THE SCENE OF A TRIPPLE HOMICIDE 6 MONTHS AGO. LAST YEAR ON THE CORNER OF BAILEY AVE AT THE EXXON STATION, A MAN PUMPING GAS WAS MOWED DOWN BY AUTOMATIC WEAPON FIRE. HE WAS SHOT 19 TIMES, AND WAS DEAD BEFORE FALLING TO THE GROUND. BURGLARIES AND CAR JACKINGS ARE THE NORM HERE.IF YOU PASS THIS WAY, DOORS HAVE TO BE LOCKED OR YOUR TOAST. THE REASON FOR ALL THIS EXPLANATION IS THIS, TODAY, WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT 3 BLOCKS AWAY, THERE WAS A BURST OF AUTOMATIC WEAPON FIRE. UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACK, A SLID DOWN IN MY SEAT AND BEGAN PRAYING. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED,CARS BEGAN MOVING AGAIN, AND I SAW I HAD NO BROKEN GLASS OR HOLES IN ME OR MY CAR. I QUIETLY THANKED GOD FOR KEEPING ME SAFE, AND CLOSED MY PRAYER WITH A FAMILIAR REFRAIN, YEA, THO I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I SHALL FEAR NO EVIL FOR THOU ART WITH ME. SUDDENLY, I REALIZED I AM LIVING SCRIPTURE, DAILY. FELT LIKE SHAREING THIS WITH YOU, ESPECIALLY ALL MY AMR PEEPS WHO WALK IN THE SAME SHADOW I WALK IN.
