The Dallas Post Tribune welcomes your comments about published informa-

tion that may require correction or clarification. You can submit your com-

ments by emailing our production staff at [email protected]

or faxing the correction/clarification to 214.946.7636.

Q. Do you attend a Christianchurch here in the area?

A. Greater Golden Gate BaptistChurch here in the city of Dallas. Itis located at 9333 Ferguson Rd.Pastor Fabian Keith Jacko.

Q. What is the name of yourbook- why did you decide on thistitle?

A. The Blackest of Times. With allthe other titles, this one kept com-ing before me. It just seems tomake sense.

Q. How did you get into writ-ing?

A. I got into writing by readingthe writing of such authors as CarlSandburg Langston Hughes,Tennessee Williams, and EarnestHemmingway. I always wanted towrite a book like suddenly last sum-mer or old man and the sea. I hadmore creativeness in my head thanI could handle, so I began to write.

Q. how long did it take you towrite this book?

A. I began to write this book in1999 and self published it in 2002.The project at that time was a fail-ure in part. The book was writtenbut there were so much more workto do. Finally it was finished andpublished in October 2014. Abouttwelve or fourteen years in all.

Q. when you were writing thisbook did you feel uncomfortable?

A. the work of Satan in thechurch, how easy leadership wasled away, and even when they didnot teach the congregation to fol-low them, they had to have knownthat they would. They used thewomen married or single for theirown purpose. They preached andtaught what was acceptable to themind of people. Much disrespectfor God reached out from the pul-pit, lies, lack of faith, wateringdown God's word and not livingaccording to God's word. Mrs. CFather, Dr. Harold Simmons, whosold himself to Satan to be the mostsuccessful preacher of his time, itfinally included whatever made himlook big. His success lasted until hetried to outdo his master. At thesame time he killed two churchwomen and their hate for him ledthem to sell their unborn child toSatan so that they would becomeangels of the devil, to destroy thechurch and to destroy pastors.Their hate for pastors, and thedesired revenge against God forfailing to rescue them while theywere dying a horrible death at thehands of a pastor. This bought on abitterness that is beyond man'scomprehension.

Q. Is this your first book? If not,what are the titles to the othersthat you have published?

A. No, there are two others,Time of the Locust. And TheBrother up Nexat, and Blackest ofTimes.

Q. Does that title have mean-ing?

A. Yes, the title have meaning, itindicates that these time are theworst times that has ever comeupon the earth. They are times thatwe know nothing about. Times thatman has nowhere to walk to, fromwhere he has come from. He mustsurvive under his own shadow.Under his own shadow, there is noforgiveness and no true repen-tance. Under his shadow there isnot hope.

Q. What caused you to writethis particular book? What is there

about the subject matter that willinterest people?

A. I wrote this book because ofthe frightening possibility thatmany of those who are attendingmorning worship may not make itto the kingdom. We find that moreof the world is being brought intothe church, than the church con-victing the world to come to her. Isaw men's ideas becoming doctrineover the word of God, and on ameaning that is comfortable withtheir thinking. The word says if therighteous just barely make it inwhat about the ungodly and thesinner.

Q. You have said that the bookis fiction; does that mean that thethings in the book will not happen.

A. No, it means that much ofwhat is in the book has not happen.When you look at Revelation chap-ter 6 through chapter 9 you will findthe times more difficult than in thebook, matter of fact they are so dif-ficult that it is hard to believe. But itwill happen and we will be unpre-pared if we are not careful. Theword says that God himself willshorten those days, if he had not,no flesh would be saved.

Q. What about this book youwant people to know?

A. That this is a real account ofwhat the church will experience inthe first three and a half years ofJacobs troubles. It is a real life soulbreathing account of the sufferingand torment of a church family andthe community web that hastrapped it between heaven, theearth and hell. Here lie the conse-quences of disobedience, disre-spect, compliancy, ungodliness,compromise and doubt. A livingexperience that will wake everysoul to pay attention. I want thepeople to know that the time oftrue repentance is coming to anend. And that the survival of thosedays would cause man's heart tofail because of things coming uponthe earth.

Q. In the book you mentionedthe tribulation period; how does itaffect the church?

A. We live a life that we willalways have an opportunity to getour lives right. We even believe thatthe church will not go through thetribulation period. If the churchmust go through this period, she isunprepared to withstand the thingscoming up in their lives. If webelieve that the church will not berapture until after the first threeand a half years, we will live betterlives.

Q. What about people whodoes not believe in the tribulationperiod.

A. Whether we believe in thisperiod or not, it will come, it willhappen. But we will not be pre-pared and we will not teach others

to be prepared.Q. I am a little confused, the

characters seem to be leaders inthe church, but yet they seem tobe following the influence ofsatan. Can you explain.

A. the word of God teaches usthat in the latter times man willdepart from the faith. It teachesthat. It teaches that when the mostdifficult times come upon us, wewill not repent. The pastors andleaders in the church are the firstones to take God word lightly, todoubt its strictness because of whatthey want to do. As God hold themresponsible to their calling, theywill fail by the numbers. Life accord-ing God's word become too difficultand they take a short cut.

Q. The book seem to be a littlecomplex, is there something thatyou tell us to help our understand-ing better.

A. Remember the times that thisis happening in, the first three and ahalf years of the seven year tribula-tion period. The writer believes thatone can turn from God if he choos-es. "Mrs. C IS HUMAN, BUT THEANGEL OF SATAN. Minister Kitchensis human and an angel of satan, JoeSolomon is human but angel ofsatan. These three cannot be saved;they are sold out to satan. God canstep in to rescue, but because oftheir disobedient and disrespect Hewill not.

Q. It seem to me that when I amreading the book I can feel frustra-tion, anger, disappointment, or isthis just me.

A. All three of those attributesare felt by the w4riter and the read-er, as to what level of disruptionyou will experience depends uponyour belief. It depends upon yourrelationship with your pastor andwhat he teaches. Whatever youbelieve, you must believe thatbecause your life may depend uponyour faith.

Q. Mr. King when I read thisbook will I get a good feeling aboutthe church.

A. There is a possibility that youwill not. You will feel frustration,Anger, and disappointment. And ifyou are not careful, you may feel asif God have failed you. You will feelthat the faith that we presentlyhave may not be enough to sustainus in our survival in the last days.

Continued from Page 1ARepublicans are vehementlyopposed to the president'slikely actions, with some con-servative members threaten-ing to pursue a governmentshutdown if Obama followsthrough on his promises to actbefore the end of the year.

A wide-ranging immigrationbill passed the Senate lastyear, but stalled in theRepublican-led House. Obamavowed this summer to insteadpursue changes to the immi-gration system using his ownauthority but delayed themeasures until after themidterm elections, in partbecause of concerns fromsome Democrats facing toughraces.

Democrats still lost controlof the Senate in the midtermballoting.

One official familiar with theadministration's planning saidthe beneficiaries of Obama'snew executive action wouldbe treated in the same man-ner as those immigrants whowere shielded from deporta-tion and who became eligible

for work permits under anObama directive in 2012. The2012 executive actiondeferred deportations forimmigrants who came to theUnited States illegally as chil-dren. The official discussed thelimits of Obama's action onthe condition of anonymity,lacking authority to speak onthe record at this point.

Those immigrants coveredby the 2012 action, calledDreamers by their advocates,can obtain work permits butare not eligible for foodstamps, federal welfare bene-fits or disability benefits underthe Supplemental SecurityIncome program. They alsoare ineligible for tax creditsunder Obama's health carelaw, though they can buyhealth coverage at full price onthe exchanges created by thelaw. They may be eligible forpublic benefits provided bysome states, however.

Homeland SecuritySecretary Jeh Johnson saidWednesday that Obama'sexecutive actions will be com-prehensive and include border

security measures. He said hebelieves that immigrationchanges that Obama willannounce are not only legalbut needed in light of inactionby Congress on immigration.

Astrid Silva, an organizer forthe group ProgressiveLeadership Alliance of Nevada,said the president "has a dutyto keep his promise and usehis full legal authority to takeaction where Congress hasfailed." The group said theWhite House has been intouch with Nevada activistsabout the trip.

Republicans on Capitol Hillare deeply divided and havespent much of the weekintensely debating how torespond. By timing hisannouncement for the Fridaybefore Thanksgiving, withCongress on recess all of nextweek, Obama gives the publicsome time to react to hisannouncement beforeCongress has a chance torespond.

Associated Press writers Alicia Caldwellin Washington and Michelle Rindels in LasVegas contributed to this report.

REV. JOHNNY C. SMITH,PASTOR – MOUNT MORIAH

MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH

Ephesians was written to agreat body of believers whowere excessively wealthy butthey were devoid of under-standing their immeasurablerichness. They had been richlyendowed by God, but theywere living spiritually like theywere poor. They had a vast spir-itual bank account (Chapters 1-3), but they had not appropri-ated it for their spiritual walk(Chapters 4-6). What good is itto have an abundant flow of

cash, and you fail to use it?Paul had already revealed inChapter 1 that this church hadreceived a spiritual bankaccount, which consisted of:adoption (1:5), acceptance(1:6), redemption (1:7), for-giveness (1:7), wisdom (1:8),inheritance (1:11), and thesealing of the Holy Spirit (1:13).Paul really wanted this churchto understand the depth oftheir spiritual richness. In theChapter 2, there are somemore spiritual resources whichPaul said that these believershad received, such as: new life(2:1), grace (2:5), citizenship(2:6). Thanks be unto God, thatwe are going to heaven spiritu-ally affluent or wealthy. Thosewho are "in Christ", havingaccepted by faith His finishedwork on Calvary in your hearts,will exit this life with vast spiri-tual holdings. We will not haveto worry about anyone tryingto take this wealth from us.Time, decay, or even disease

cannot distort or corrupt thewealth that we have receivedby faith.

The bible informs us thatwhen we leave this scene thatour little earthly possessionswill not be taken with us to oureternal home, for Paul said in ITimothy 6:7: "For we broughtnothing into this world, and it iscertain we can carry nothingout." Our material wealth, allthat which we have amasseddown here, will be given to rel-atives; some families will com-pete for it and others will not.My wife, Violet, and I havethree lovely children. We canleave them a legacy of faith inGod, and incidentally, our chil-dren have accepted Christ astheir Saviour; but we cannotendow them with salvation.Every person must acceptChrist for himself. I wish that Icould endow every man withsalvation, but I can't. Everyman born after Adam (our fore-father) has been endowed spir-

itually lost (Romans 3:23, 5:12).He or she needs to understandthat the only remedy for theirbankrupt spiritual condition isacceptance of Christ's finishedwork on Calvary. There on thecross, Jesus Christ met all of thedemands of God's wrathagainst sin. At the cross, Hepaid in full the sin debt neces-sary to appease God, ourFather. We deserved God'swrath, but because of Christ'sredemptive work and ouracceptance of it, we arewealthy now, and will entereternity spiritually benefited. Ifyou would like to gain all ofthese spiritual benefits inChapters 1-3, you need to trustin our wealthy Saviour, JesusChrist (Ephesians 1:13). In clos-ing, our meager bank accountswill only give us a fixed interestamount on the money held inan account(s), but the vastholdings we have received byfaith will benefit us eternally.

This past Saturday,November 15th, marked thestart of the Affordable CareAct's (ACA) 2014 open enroll-ment period. From November15th to February 15th, millionsof Americans will have theopportunity to shop for andenroll in customized healthinsurance plans most suited totheir personal needs.

In spite of the initial difficul-ties with the website during the2014 rollout, the ACA hasevolved into a thriving and

effective healthcare coveragesystem serving millions of peo-ple across the United States.Statistics provided from thefirst open enrollment periodshow that this historic law isperforming well. By ensuringthat millions of students, work-ers, and families across the U.S.are able to reap the benefits ofnewfound health security, inaddition to the personal andeconomic freedoms providedas a result.

In 2011, the ACA madehealthcare more accessible andaffordable for millions ofAmericans by saving consumers$9 billion. In fact, during thefirst open enrollment period inOctober of 2013, nearly 7 outof 10 people who selected aplan through the HealthInsurance Marketplace foundcoverage for less than $100 amonth with tax credits. Since

then, 10.3 million uninsuredadults have received healthcoverage and the number ofuninsured adults has beenreduced by 26% according tostatistics released by theObama Administration and theCenters for Medicaid andMedicare Services (CMS).

On the first day of the 2014open enrollment period, over100,000 people submitted theircoverage applications - manyreceiving their eligibility resultsthat same day. For thoseunable to complete the processonline, the ACA call center tookmore than 200,000 calls thisweekend, with over 20,000 ofthese calls held in Spanish. Ibelieve this was a great start tothe second open enrollmentperiod and exactly the type ofmomentum I would like to seecontinue through February15th.

CMS reported that in 2015,insurers will be offering 25%more plans, with some of thenation's largest insurers offer-ing coverage for the first time inmore than a dozen states. InTexas alone, there are morethan 2.6 million people wholack health insurance. Withsuch great opportunities cur-rently available, numbers likethese are simply unacceptable.

As a representative of the30th congressional district, Iwill continue to work hard toensure a reduction in the num-ber of uninsured Texans.Through the ACA, affordablecoverage is available betweennow and February 15th withcoverage beginning as early asJanuary 1st if enrolled byDecember 15th. I encouragemy constituents to make theirelections early and get covered.

BY GEORGE E. CURRYNNPA COLUMNIST

It's been almost 50 yearssince I lived in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Igo back from time to time, butnot much after Mama movedto Cleveland about 35 yearsago and later to Augusta, Ga.Except for a couple of cousins,all of my relatives have eitherdied or moved away. Myyoungest sister, Susan Gandy,lives in Tuskegee, Ala. My othersisters, Charlotte Purvis andChris Polk, live in Durham, N.C.and Oakland, Calif. area,respectively.

Many close family friendssuch as Mrs. Dorothy Smith andMrs. Emma Henderson, twolongtime neighbors from myMcKenzie Court housing proj-ect days, are deceased. A grow-ing number of my Druid Highclassmates - James CalvinBrown, Reginald Henderson,Peter Boyd and most recently,Ronald Thompson and EstellaRobertson Carter - are nolonger with us.

I returned home to givethree speeches last Friday - atCentral High School, theUniversity of Alabama andChristian Community Church.Though exhausting, my whirl-wind tour of my hometown

provided me with fresh insighton how much Tuscaloosa has -and hasn't - changed since Igraduated from Druid HighSchool in 1965.

The first notable sign ofchange was that theTuscaloosa News published astory on my upcoming speechat the church. Growing up, theonly way to get coverage intheTuscaloosa News was toplay sports, be an entertaineror, heaven forbid, commit acrime. When I began my careeras a journalist, I could get a jobas a reporter for SportsIllustrated, but not with myhometown paper because itdid not hire African Americans.But that has changed for thebetter.

Another change for the bet-ter was supposedly the deseg-regation of Tuscaloosa publicschools. But it was not alwaysfor the better. My education atall-Black Druid High school wason par with, if not better, thanthat provided by TuscaloosaHigh, our all-White crosstowncounterpart. That notwith-standing, both high schoolswere demolished in the nameof desegregation. Druid wasreplaced with a new buildingthat became a middle schooland Tuscaloosa High wasreplaced by Central High,another new structure. Theplan was that Whites andBlacks would attend middleschool and high school togeth-er. The reality is that didn't lastfor long.

That became clear when Ientered Central High on Friday,

the first time I set foot in thebuilding. If you had placed ablindfolder on me and lifted itonce I was inside, I would havethought I was back at Druid.The "integrated" school wasvirtually all-Black. Whites havedone what most Whites whocan afford it do: they pulledtheir students out of desegre-gated public schools andenrolled them in majorityWhite private or parochialschools.

But Tuscaloosa is no differ-ent than the rest of the South.As the Civil Rights Project atUCLA reported, "The reality isthat segregation has beenincreasing since l990, foralmost a quarter century, andthat today black students aresubstantially more segregatedthan they were in l970. Thedirection of change, however,suggests that things will contin-ue to worsen."

Like Ole Miss and theUniversity of Georgia, theUniversity of Alabama wasdesegregated under pressurefrom the federal government. Ihad just completed the 10thgrade at Druid when Gov.George C. Wallace made hisfamous "Stand in theSchoolhouse Door" on June 11,1963 to prevent the enrollmentof two Black students, VivianMalone and James Hood. Thatday will be forever etched inmy memory.

After objecting to what hecalled "the unwelcomed,unwanted, unwarranted andforce-induced intrusion uponthe campus of the University of

Alabama," Wallace was forcedto step aside and allow the stu-dents to enroll.

When I spoke to a class onrace and gender at the univer-sity, Black and White studentsinteracted openly and comfort-ably. One White student spokefondly of her close friendshipwith her Black roommate andothers described how the uni-versity had made it easier forthem to meet new friends whodid not look like them. I smiledcontently as they relayed theirstories, happy that realprogress had been made in myhometown.

Over lunch, however, I wasbrought back to reality. A uni-versity professor relayed thatBlack students told him ofbeing called the N-word everyday on campus. Every day. Onone hand, 'Bama representedwhat seemed like unimagin-able racial progress. On closerinspection, nothing has funda-mentally changed - except thecosmetics - from the bad olddays.

At my evening speech at theCommunity Christian Church,except for two Whites, theaudience was all Black. Thatwas two Whites more than Iexpected. Tuscaloosa, like therest of America, remains most-ly segregated.

Whether it was interactingwith high school pupils, talkingwith students at the Universityof Alabama or the community,not that much has reallychanged in Sweet HomeAlabama once you look beyondthe surface.

Sweet Home Alabama

BY MARC H. MORIALNNPA COLUMNIST

"Mr. President…I pledge toshow to you and the Americanpeople that if I have the honorof being confirmed by theSenate, I will wake up everymorning with the protection ofthe American people my firstthought. And I will work everyday to safeguard our citizens,our liberties, our rights, andthis great nation which hasgiven so much to me and myfamily."

" Loretta Lynch on Nov.

8 upon nomination byPresident Obama to beAmerica's next AttorneyGeneral

I had the honor of visitingthe White House for PresidentObama's announcement of hischoice to succeed Eric Holder,who recently declared his deci-sion to retire, as AttorneyGeneral of the United States. Ithad been rumored for days thatLoretta Lynch, who currentlyheads the U.S. Attorney's Officefor the Eastern District of NewYork, had risen to the top of thepresident's list. While the tim-ing of the announcement, justfour days after the power-shift-ing mid-term elections, mayhave surprised many, it alsoconfirmed the president's com-mitment to seamlessly uphold

the civil rights protections andcriminal justice reforms thathave been so fiercely advocat-ed by Holder.

Lynch, who would be thenation's first African Americanwoman Attorney General, hasserved more than15 years as aprosecutor in the office thatcovers 8 million people inBrooklyn, Queens, StatenIsland and Long Island, N.Y. TheSenate unanimously confirmedher to lead the U.S. Attorney'soffice on two separate occa-sions - once under PresidentClinton and more recentlyunder President Obama.

She has an outstandingrecord of successful prosecu-tions, including the terroristswho plotted to bomb theFederal Reserve Bank and theNew York subway system,

some of New York's most vio-lent and notorious mobstersand gang members, and cor-rupt public officials from bothparties. She has also won anumber of Wall Street financialfraud cases. In 1999, shefamously prosecuted one ofthe most egregious cases ofpolice brutality in New YorkCity history, the beating andsexual assault of Haitian immi-grant, Abner Louima.

In nominating Lynch,President Obama said, "It ispretty hard to be more quali-fied for this job than Loretta.Throughout her 30-year career,she has distinguished herself astough, as fair, an independentlawyer who has twice headedthe most prominent offices inthe country. She has spentyears in the trenches as a pros-

ecutor, aggressively fightingterrorism, financial fraud,cyber-crime, all while vigorous-ly defending civil rights."

A native of Greensboro, N.C.,the daughter of a Baptist minis-ter and the granddaughter of apastor/sharecropper, Lynch'sdedication to protecting civilrights and ensuring equal jus-tice is part of her DNA. Herbackground and experiencesalso inform her commitment tocommon sense criminal justicereforms designed to make oursystem smarter and fairer. Sheremembers as a child riding onher father's shoulders to stu-dent anti-segregation boycottmeetings at his church. Shealso recalls her sharecroppergrandfather lamenting, "Inrural North Carolina in the1930s, if you were poor and

Black and got in trouble withthe law, you had very littlerecourse." As a lawyer and U.S.attorney, Lynch's career hasbeen undergirded by anunshakeable belief that, as shestates, "Justice is only servedwhen people feel protected bytheir government rather thantargeted."

Those are the values we lookfor most in the People's Lawyer.We urge the Senate to confirmLoretta Lynch as the nextUnited States Attorney Generalwithout delay.

BE KIND! Never speak harsh words. Be kind and gentle with yourtongue. For it has been said that the tongue can be like a sword.Think long before you criticize your neighbor. Your tongue can be

nasty. Living is one of the most beautiful things in the world. But thetongue can kill!

O Divine Master,Grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled, as to console;To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved as to love.For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.
