About Today's Hymn...
Lead Me, Guide Me, inspired by Psalm 5:8,was wrien in 1953, by Doris Mae Akers(1923-1995). The hymn reflects an earnestplea for an inmate walk with God,asking God to lead, guide, and protect
the believer. The deeply personal stanzasemphasize that due to our lack of strength,our blindness, and temptaons, divineguidance is essenal in our Chrisan walk.
Akers had an acve career as a giedsinger, choir director, and songwriter. Shewrote her first song at age ten. Since that
me, she has composed more than 300gospel songs and hymns which appearin the hymnals of many denominaonsand have been sung by the Body of Christaround the world, most of which werepublished by Manna Music (includingThere's a Sweet, Sweet Spirit in thisPlace," You Cant Beat God Giving, and
He Delivered Me.) In 2001, she wasposthumously inducted into the GospelMusic Hall of Fame.

PSALM 23
(NIV)
1
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.2He makes me lie down in green pastures, he
leads me beside quiet waters, 3he refreshes
my soul. He guides me along the right paths
for his names sake. 4Even though I walk
through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil,for you are with me; your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. 5You prepare a table be-
fore me in the presence of my enemies. You
anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will followme all the days of my life, and I will dwell in
the house of the LORD forever.
Unison Scripture
(KJV)
1
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall notwant.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pas-
tures: he leadeth me beside the sll wa-
ters.
3
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me inthe paths of righteousness for his name's
sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies: thou anoin-
test my head with oil; my cup runneth
over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life: and I will dwell
in the house of the LORD for ever.

A Word From The Pastor
Asour country remembers the dream of
Dr. Marn Luther King, Jr., new research
conducted for the Childrens Defense
Fund has found the vast majority of Americas Black
community, seven in 10 adults, view these as toughor very bad mes for Black children and many see
poor Black youths falling further behind. When 40
percent of Black children are born poor, 85 percent
of Black children cannot read or do math at grade
level in fourth grade and later almost half drop out
of school, and a Black boy born in 2001 has a one
in three chance of going to prison someme inhis lifeme, we know we are facing a crisis. So an
intergeneraonal group of Black leaders have just
commied to a renewed movement to reweave the
fabric of family and community for Black children
and to provide a stronger voice for children in their
states and naonally.
We met in December for three days at theChildrens Defense Fund-Haley Farm near Knoxville,
TN to address what many of us believe is the worst
crisis faced by millions of Black children since slavery.
The meeng had three purposes: (1) to wake up the
Black community and the naon to the ominous
clouds encircling Black children and youths whose
life chances are less posive than their parentsand White peers; (2) to commit to replacing the
Cradle to Prison Pipeline with a pipeline to college,
producve work, and successful adulthood for all
Black children; and (3) to launch the second phase of
the Black Community Crusade for Children (BCCC) on
the 20th anniversary of the launch of the first Black
Community Crusade for Children to Leave No Child
Behind.
In December 1990, CDF co-convened with Dr.
John Hope Franklin and Dr. Dorothy Height, and 22
Black leaders for five days at the beauful Rockefeller
Foundaon Conference Center in Bellagio, Italy to
discuss the condion of the Black child and family.We concluded that the Black child and family were
in a crisis and that we had to take acon. Efforts
quietly catalyzed by BCCC include the CDF Freedom
Schools program, which has served over 90,000
K-12 children and trained 9,000 college mentor
leaders to serve them, and the Harlem Childrens
Zone, whose President and CEO, Geoff Canada, nowchairs CDFs Board and is a co-convener of BCCC along
with PolicyLink Founder and CEO and CDF Board Vice
Chair Angela Blackwell. A range of intergeneraonal
youth leadership development programs have
touched about 20,000 promising high school and
college students and young adult leaders.
BCCC will highlight and build on these and other
best pracces and successes in a number of areas
crucial to healthy child and youth development and
move them to scale and into policy. Since the linchpins
of success are leadership and educaon of the next
generaon, our goals include doubling summer
Freedom Schools over the next five years; training
5,000 next generaon servant-leaders of color atleast half Black males to carry on the struggle for
a fair playing field for all children; encouraging more
young servant leaders in Freedom Schools and other
youth leadership training programs, especially Black
and Lano males, to become teachers to fill as many
as possible of the expected one million teacher
openings over the next four to six years (only 2%
of public school teachers are Black males); helping

to catalyze and mount an irresisble and sustained
intergeneraonal movement to dismantle the
Cradle to Prison Pipeline; and effecve community
organizing to tackle the pervasive poverty, racial
disparies, miseducaon, and joblessness plaguing
Black children and youths.
Today, the toxic cocktail of poverty, illiteracy,
racial disparies, violence, and massive incarceraon
is sentencing millions of children to dead end,powerless, and hopeless lives and threatens to
undermine the past half century of racial and social
progress. This is the moment to act with urgency,
vision, and courage to combat the growing racial
and class segregaon in America; to close the
achievement gap; to reweave the fabric of family
and community; and to build a loud and effecveadult voice for children. Building a powerful
intergeneraonal movement is crucial to protecng
children and transforming our naons addicon to
punishment and incarceraon as a first rather than
last resort. We must establish beer child investment
policies and stronger, more skilled and innovave
advocates, community networks, and instuons
to implement them. We must increase community
capacity, sustainability of pracces and programs
that work, and create as many effecve new servant
leader voices for more just naonal choices as
possible. There is not a moment or child to waste.
We know what to do to provide all children a
healthier, fairer, and safer start in life and the chanceto reach successful adulthood. What is missing is a
crical mass of caring adults thinking and acng out of
the box and raising an effecve and persistent ruckus
to counter the forces of status quo and regression.
The 140 leaders who gathered in December at
CDF-Haley Farm to launch the BCCCs second
phase represented many different disciplines, skills,and gis and the extraordinary power within our
community to make the impossible possible when
necessary. This is the beginning call to sustained
acon to do whatever is needed for as long as it takes
to save the futures of millions of Black children. This
is no one, two, or five year effort. Nobody is going
to care more about our children than we do and the
reality of Black child life today should shame and
cause all of us to move into emergency acon inside
and outside of the Black community. Visit the BCCC
Website to learn more and to join us.

Debang Gun Control and Mental HealthBy Bentley de Bardelaben
The current debate about Second Amendment rights,
gun The current debate about Second Amendment
rights, gun control law, and the ability to properly
diagnose mental health has srred public opinion insuch a way that people are now talking about possible
changes. The tragedies that occurred at a shopping plaza
in Arizona, on a military base in Texas and on college
campus in Virginia have a common link-access to guns
by the mentally unstable. Many have heard the saying,
guns dont kill people; people kill people. While I am
not looking to argue, mental illness is a subject worthy of
discussion.
It has been a while since Ive been hunng, but I
admit it is an excing sport. The rule I hunt by is kill
(or catch if I would be fishing) only what I expect to clean
and eat. Further, Ive never been a proponent of using
automac or semi-automac weaponry. Its about the
thrill of the hunt and the skill of the hunter, not about
slaughtering the animal.
Obviously, I support the Second Amendment right to
bear arms. But having a gun to protect myself and family
against a home invasion is a very different issue. Along
with the privilege of owning guns one must familiarize
ones household with rules of gun ownership, especially
when children are young. The tragic shoongs in Tucson
have reopened this discussion. The issue in this case is
the mental state of the gun owner. In fact, some people
support the adding of a mental health component to the
applicaon for acquiring a gun license.
Prior to my becoming an ordained minister, I had
to pass a rigorous mental health test. It was mentally
exhausng to say the least. The quesons went overand over the same things. But the point of repeon of
quesons was the consistency of my answers. Fortunately,
I passed. This was good news for me and the parishioners
whose souls I had been charged to care for. A mental health
examinaon is required for women and men in ministry;however to procure a gun license, we overlook a persons
mental health status. Isnt the safety of American cizens
as important as where we spend eternity? Comparably,
these topics are apples and oranges. Nevertheless, they
are equally important.
Some are asking that we become less vitriolic and
more mindful with our speech. There is an earnestaempt to bring a civil and respecul tone into our
naonal polical debate. But civility does not address
mental illness. In my experience, concerns about people
who are paranoid schizophrenic and hearing voices in their
minds have lile connecon with the ability to debate
civilly. True, it cannot hurt us to be civil. But we must not
lose this opportunity before us to regulate gun ownership
for the mentally ill. The precious life of Chrisna Taylor
Green and the rest of our naons children demand that
we take acon.
It is a wise naon that learns from lessons of its
past that is desned not to repeat them. Let us be the
great republic we are and make necessary changes to our
gun laws for the safety of all. For such a me as this, we
cannot afford to fail.
Special Note: Our hearelt condolences to the families
of Judge John Roll, Gabe Zimmerman, Dorwin Stoddard,
Dorothy Murray, Phyllis Scheck, and Chrisna Taylor Green.
Our thoughts and prayers for the recovery of those injured
including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. In addion,
we pray for the parents of Jared Lee Loughner, who arealso wounded by this terrible tragedy.

THE RESULTS OF A REDEEMED LIFE
T
he words, New Beginnings, always inspire me to look for something new in my life. It
really does not maer what that new something turns out to be; I know I like new projects,
new ways to accomplish old exisng projects, perhaps, meeng new people who help me
to see from a different perspecve.
Below is a conversaon between two Deacons that may renew your thinking on giving to God.
Deacon Phil had a serious queson for Deacon Sam. When you say that I should give to God first,
does that mean I should give to the church before I pay my installment? Deacon Sam responded,
Deacon Phil, the way I see it is that the money we give to God should be ours to give.
Its my money alright, I worked hard to get it, protested Deacon Phil. Lets agree that you
worked hard to get it, but when you menoned installment, that says you spent some of your
money before you earned it, replied Deacon Sam. Yes, thats true, I promised to pay a small
installment, Deacon Phil agreed. Okay, then each month that installment belongs to your
creditor; its not yours to give. Your gi to the church must come from your remaining income,
concluded Deacon Sam.
Hey, thats not good; that way, the church always gets leovers, argued Deacon Phil. No! You
and I must manage our money so we can give to God first, from money which is ours to give.
We must manage the normal events of our lives, because we are all subject to abnormal events
beyond our control, Deacon Sam advised. Youre saying that I should manage well enough to pay
both God and the devil? summarized Deacon Phil.
Deacon Sam pointed out, Yes! When you do that, you can control who gets money first!

grapes of your untended vines. The land is to
have a year of rest.
June Luke 4:18-1918
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because hehath anointed me to preach the gospel
to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-

and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bruised, 19To preach the
acceptable year of the Lord.
