Family Bond Paper™

From the Editor This is Holy Week for many Christian faith believers, including myself.  This week I would like to share a portion of a mini sermon that I prepared while in lay speaking (United Methodist) class, a few years ago. The NewMonday Show The lecture discussed a new leader (Gideon) for the children of Israel. We must be cautious to carry our faith with us in any battle that we face, sherleneonline.org 24/7 Let's talk A No-Good Man Men, you are not perfect and you never will be while living on this earth.   Jesus (Yeshua, Isa) said that he, himself, was not any good (Matthew 19:17).   Let me explain who is a no-good man. □        He walks on water (faith). □        He saves his community and family. □        He heals. □        He trains up a child in the way he or she should go. □   ...

First, the British verses were changed to fi...

From the Editor It's White History Month at the center.  The March family fun packet is now available on my official site.  As most of you know I have a very diverse center: all racial identities of unique households.  We must always remember that North America is a fairly young country compared to our global ancestors. The NewMonday Show I introduced the Book of Judges (Holy Bible) Available at sherleneonline.org 24/7 Let's talk The Value of a Piece of (White) Chalk How many of you remember getting Christmas gifts that required add-on products?   I would often ask my White public school teachers for pieces of chalk. “Why do you want a piece of chalk?” (You would have thought I was asking for a piece of gold.) Back then, in my area, you couldn’t buy school chalk in a regular store.             My mother had purchased a chalkboard toy chest for me, and it only came with a small box of chalk. ...

This is a family discussion about college debt and higher learning participations. (Black History Month) Discussion takes place after my published book, The Script in My Box: A Journal of Forgiveness Sherlene : You didn’t understand, but it’s true! I was “right” in demanding to finish my college degree at DE State U, but as you know they wouldn’t allow me to. Family : Well, you know that most of us weren’t able to complete college. So, we didn’t know how to help you. We told you to just find a job – any job, but you said… Sherlene : (interrupts) I said that I really needed to finish up. I want to tell all of you something, today. What I didn’t tell you was that I had sponsors (government sponsors) that were helping me to fund the whole thing –my education and the center. They were going to help me get the resources to open the center (in Chestertown). I made a contract with them indicating that I would get my degree: and, then, open the center. Since it didn’t happen, they...

This is a current (2013) interview featuring my ex-husband who played a major role in my first published book: The Script in My Box: A Journal of Forgiveness (2012, August). Victor is 41, the same age as me.   We now share the responsibility of parenting our four biological children who are now enrolled in public schools versus home schooling. Sherlene: First, I would like to thank you for accepting this opportunity. This interview will provide my audience an update of personal strengths and weakness involving family bonding issues. Victor: Okay, I was wondering when you were going to allow me to give my point of view of your book. Sherlene: Before we begin, we have already decided, on many issues, that we agree to disagree. I guess one could say that is why we are divorced. Victor: (interrupts) And, because you would not listen to me when I told you not to do the things that you were doing with the kid’s and schooling, and trying to help in the community of ...

A tribute to my parents: Well, this is the last week of this month’s holiday. I was hoping that my Master would tell both of you the truth. There is no shame in my history, and I do feel like leaping when I think back over the years: “I was taken away from my teaching mother; and, my (four) kids from their teaching mother.” Dear Master You have tried to take me out of your White land’s history:   Now, your public schools are failing and closing. Being mean to those who do good does come back to you you know. I didn’t know racism until I met you, Master. I want to thank you for showing how nasty and mean White people can be. I’m sorry, but my parents never really talked about your racial identity with me.   My parents didn’t mention you, to even hate you, because they were too busy teaching me to love self, and to become the best at whatever I strived to do. They never taught me that you were a bully.   Yes, you are. They way that you scare the races is a...
