Laughing

newlsclogo.jpg

Brother Christopher Benedict has enjoyed a lifetime of love with his wife, and he shares a secret to his success.
Laughing
Your laughing is a sign your heart is singing,
and your happiness can’t be contained
in just a subtle smile.
Your bursts of joy fill my quiet void of
useless background noise, and the echos
of your laughter bounce off the canyon
walls within my heart.
When you laugh, then I want to laugh, too.

Dream Chaser

Filed under: New Poems, Spanish Poems translations, A Cupful of Words — admin @ 1:00 am

Dream Chaser

I’ve got my boots and jeans on,
and my duffle bag is all packed.
I’ve made up my mind to leave,
and I’ve decided not to look back.
I say good bye respectfully with
a big smile and a tip of my hat.

I’ve got the music in my head,
and I brought my oId guitar.
If I work hard enough, I believe
someday, somehow I’ll be a star.
They say that road is long,
but I really don’t know how far.

I know it won’t be as simple
as the whole thing seems,
but I will go crazy If I don’t
chase the object of my dreams.
I know I’ll make it if I can keep
my hopes high and myself clean.

Pequeño Danzarín

Ella sonríe a nadie, salvo quizás a sí misma,
mientras baila con la música en su cabeza.
El mundo que la rodea está lleno de hablar,
y la gente no se oye una sola nota.

Su cabello largo y negro se levanta como ella da vueltas alrededor,
y la falda de su vestido coquetea con el aire.
Contenido de su entorno y que escucha lo que ella
quiere oír, y descarta el resto.

L’amour est le seul remède pour un coeur brisé

L’amour est le seul remède pour un coeur brisé

frenchpoemlogo.jpg

L’amour est le seul remède pour un coeur brisé

L’amour est le seul médicament
pour un coeur brisé.
Quand vous tombez amoureux de nouveau,
il ya un début tout neuf.
Comprimés, les pilules et de la thérapie
peut également être essayé,
mais juste une chose tiendra
vous satisfait.
L’amour est le seul médicament
pour un coeur brisé.

Si je tombais amoureuse à nouveau,
il serait avec vous,
Il n’y a personne d’autre qui fait
je me sens comme vous le faites.
Puisque vous avez été dans ma vie,
Je n’ai pas été le même.
Les changements ont été bonnes.
Je sens une flamme nouvelle.

L’amour est le seul médicament
pour un coeur brisé.
Quand vous tombez amoureux de nouveau,
il ya un début tout neuf.
Comprimés, les pilules et de la thérapie
peut également être essayé,
mais juste une chose tiendra
vous satisfait.
L’amour est le seul médicament
pour un coeur brisé.

J’ai plus d’énergie pour vivre,
chaque jour
depuis que nous avons obtenu la première fois ensemble à
le club de la baie.
J’espère que tu ressens la même chose que
autant que je peux faire pour vous.
Ton amour me faire sentir vivant,
et je ne suis jamais bleu.

L’amour est le seul médicament
pour un coeur brisé.
Quand vous tombez amoureux de nouveau,
il ya un début tout neuf.
Comprimés, les pilules et de la thérapie
peut également être essayé,
mais juste une chose tiendra
vous satisfait.
L’amour est le seul médicament
pour un coeur brisé.
L’amour est le seul médicament
pour un coeur brisé.

All Things Considered, post 39

Filed under: New Poems, Boys of Lambda Sigma Chi, All Things Considered — admin @ 1:00 am

Digital Divide closing, but it still has gaps

allthingsconsideredlogo.jpg
When it was time to get ready for school, the items on  my children’s list was very different than the list I used when I went to public school, much less college. It can tell you that teenagers love technology… I- this and I-that.  I use computers for my work, but not much for entertainment, compared to my children.  I am not complaining, and I am glad I am blessed to be able to afford such items when their use is controlled.

However, there are many children I work with everyday in our youth center who use the church’s computers in the afterschool educational programs.  They do not have access to computers and high-speed Internet as others do when many of their school assignments require information from these machines. This is what some call the Digital Divide.  A check on the problem shows that nationally the gap is closing, but even in areas where money and resources are available, there are localized gaps.

According to one source, the digital divide refers to the gap between people with effective access to digital and information technology, and those with very limited or no access at all. It includes the imbalance both in physical access to technology and the resources and skills needed to effectively participate as a digital citizen.  The National Bureau of Economic Research published a paper by Jacob L. Vigdor and Helen F. Ladd in June 2010.

Administrative data on North Carolina public school students was used to corroborate earlier surveys that document broad racial and socioeconomic gaps in home computer access and use.  The study suggested that providing universal access to home computers and high-speed internet access would broaden, rather than narrow, math and reading achievement gaps. They also demonstrated that the introduction of home computer technology is associated with modest but statistically significant and persistent negative impacts on student math and reading test scores.

An article by Annie Gowen, published Dec. 6, 2009 in The Washing ton Post,  reported that the digital divide has narrowed dramatically in the past decade. About two-thirds of American households report using the Internet at home, according to the U.S. Census. In affluent Washington suburbs, the numbers are higher; more than 90 percent of Fairfax households with children have home computers, according to a recent survey by the school system.

Still there were problems in that situation. Most afternoons,  the study carrels of the Woodrow Wilson public library in the Falls Church area are crowded with students from low-income or immigrant families using the computers. Although they live in one of the richest counties in the United States, these students are skipping lunch to work at school labs or making long journeys to the public library after school.

According to the Post article, Henry Jenkins, a professor at the University of Southern California, describes today’s digital divide as the “participation gap” — the chasm between students who have ready access to the Internet at home vs. those struggling to work in public spaces. Those with home access have a big advantage because they’ll have ample time to develop social networking, research and other skills necessary to succeed later on, Jenkins said.

Many non-profit and state-funded educational programs are offering lower cost netbook computers as part of the programs as an incentive to get people to enroll.   I am working with foundations to get grants for hardware and software for the youth we serve, too. The Digital Divide is closing, but not fast enough.

Peace be you with always,

Rev. Paul Abernathy

“Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” -2 Peter 1:2

Street called compromise

Filed under: New Poems, Boys of Lambda Sigma Chi — admin @ 1:00 am

Street called compromise

newlsclogo.jpg

Brother Bill Kelso has been a lawyer working for the government, so this may be a reaction to his job situations.
Street Call Compromise
People on the left, must turn left.
People on the right, must turn right.
We are all at a dead end here,
without any solution in sight.
I’ve been at these crossroads before
Along this street called compromise.
I know it’s harder to tell the truth,
than it is to hide behind the lies,
but there comes a point when we
face going our separate ways.
Part of me doesn’t want to turn,
Again, and face another day
without you as part of my life.
Let’s turn around here, and
conclude this need to fight.

La bande

La bande

frenchpoemlogo.jpg

La bande

La guitare pensé qu’il était l’étoile
parce qu’il ne pouvait jouer son solo parfait
derrière son dos alors qu’il se tenait sur sa tête.>

Le clavier pense que la guitare a été
tort, car il a joué à la fois les mélodies,
harmonies, et a écrit la chanson.

La guitare qui joue de la basse pensée
d’abord de sa place depuis qu’il a joué le
note que la chanson a donné accords de base.

Le tambour pensée, avec ses coordonnées
mains et des pieds heureux, c’était à lui
de maintenir rythmes changeants du groupe.
a été le meilleur à leur manière, mais au contraire
une chanson de son mieux qu’ils avaient tous à jouer
comme un seul groupe et d’écouter les
sons chaque membre de la bande entendu.

Ils devaient être dans le rythme et ils ont tous
devait être à l’écoute, mais plus que cela,
ils ont besoin d’être ensemble ou
le groupe prendra fin sous peu.
