Believe it! The Reverend Jeremiah Alvesta Wright Jr; Pastor Emeritus of the famed Trinity United Church of Christ of Chicago, Illinois was our special guest speaker on September 10th at 7:00pm. Blog friends, it was the MOST momentous ocassion ever.. We will have footage available soon. Never have I met a man any more fun, down to earth and intelligent at the same time. I am being approached about getting Reverend Jeremiah Wright back to Rochester for another organization in the city. Will he come back? Of course he will. Why? Because the Mount Olivet Baptist Church and the people within the Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse community welcomed him so graciously and treated him so kindly while he was here. Reverend Wright is now a friend to the Upstate New York Community and Upstate New York is his friend. What do I hate to see? I hate to see wannabees. These are pretentious folk who want everyone to think that they really got it going on in life and in actuallity they may have; but when you got it for real and you're confident in who you are you dont have to be all pompus and all. Jeremiah Wright is in such such demand for speaking. Universities, Seminaries, Churches, and Organizations keep him in different parts of the world continuously; yet there is no pretense about the man! Folks; Kenneth Twigg Whalum; the late pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, in Memphis, Tennessee, and the person who introduced me to Jeremiah Wright over 20 years ago, said "Be Who You Is; If You Aint Who You Is, then You Is Who You Aint." Relax, take life by the inch and its a cinch, take it by the yard and its hard. Its not so hard being big, its only hard when you're not and you want people to think that you are! Humility and loving people genuinely will get you further along in life than pretentiousness....... No more "biscuits" and "sheepdogs"...Thank you Reverend Jeremiah Wright!
