2019 - I lost my husband. Jake truly was the love of my life; married for eleven years, together for twenty-four. Jake wasn't a sick person and shrugged off any minor illness.>It was unexpected and very almost destroyed me. My story, I believe, highlights not only how I reacted and dealt with the pain, but also how others reacted to both their own pain and mine. This is how I handled my own grief. It's not necessarily the right way or the wrong way, but it is how I managed the utter pain... mainly through good humour and bad decisions.
"So why must we always concentrate on color?" asks Paul Weiss, a white philosopher. He poses this rhetorical question to the black author and social critic James Baldwin on a 1968 episode of The Dick Cavett Show. In the context of the discussion, it is clear that Weiss is denying the relevance of race to an analysis of the social issues of the time. Following in Weiss' vein, in the 2010s white folks often similarly assert that people of color who mention or discuss race and racism are "playing the race card"1 - that is, disingenuously affirming the existence of racism, not in order to make factual claims, but to leverage their (ostensibly) misperceived victimhood for personal gain. Indeed, 21st century America has been characterized within prevailing assessments as the era of "colorblindness", a time in US history where race no longer matters and "racism is dead" (Feagin, 2010, p. 91). White folks thus often claim that, not whites, nor society and its institutions, but "blacks are racist",2 and other nonwhites are racist, because people of color insist, disingenuously and cynically (so the story goes), on concentrating on race and racism.

Y al igual que David, Dios debe someterte a un proceso que John llama tu Entrenamiento para Reinar. En estas páginas, John aborda preguntas tales como por qué la familia de David tenía tan poca consideración por él, por qué Jonatán nunca tomó el lugar que le correspondía como segundo al mando de David, y cómo Saúl le enseñó a David más sobre liderazgo que cualquier otra persona: le enseñó a David cómo no liderar. Querrás leer este libro una y otra vez, porque será una guía valiosa mientras Dios te entrena para gobernar y reinar en la vida
