The Bottom Shelf Review Wilson College 2009
The Bottom Shelf Review Wilson College 2009 Edited by: Jessica Carnes and Jess Domanico Advised by: Dr. Michael G. Cornelius Review Staff: Kayla Chagnon, Suzanne Cole, and Nicole Twigg My Mother’s Hands Debbie Arthur I think of my mother and I think of her hands; Why? When looking back over my life, all of the things that I seem to remember about her, she was using her hands I remember when those hands patched walls with plaster. They took off rooms and rooms of wallpaper; painted every wall in our home with every color of the rainbow. They carried coal to the furnace to keep us warm in the winter; and dug out the cellar to store that coal. Those hands took care of her children, digging stones out of our knees, putting bandage upon bandage on so many cuts and bruises to make them better. They smacked us when we disobeyed and marched us to church 3 times a week. They took care of us when we were sick, patting our hot little heads; feeding us when we were too sick to eat, and with all those kids that was a lot of feeding. They tucked warm blankets around each of her children to keep out the cold at night. They folded in prayer each and every day to talk to God. You would think they would be worn out with all that work they have done over the years for so many of us. But they are not. When I walk into that house today, stressed or upset, those hands on my face and wrapped around me give me peace, it flows through those hands into me and they don’t let go till I am calm. -
Meeting Minutes Gen. James Jones – Dr. Saeb Erekat White House, October 21, 2009
Meeting Minutes Gen. James Jones – Dr. Saeb Erekat White House, October 21, 2009 SE: Thanks for meeting us today. I am here to deliver a message from the president. He will issue the decree for presidential and legislative elections next week. On the 26th or 27th he will ask the Fatah Central Committee to choose a candidate. If they refuse, he will have to submit his resignation. I want to make it clear, he is not bargaining. He just wants to make sure you’re not surprised. He values your relationship. He trusts you. You, Barack Obama is what’s in it for us. The last few weeks have been troubling. He haven’t sat with you to strategize. And we know how much you need all these states. What’s been happening is that Israel, since Netanyahu, they don’t want to touch us. I had arranged to meet with Uzi Arad, and two hours before we were supposed to meet he cancelled. He cancelled 3 times – they are sorting things out, “need time”. I asked David Hale to arrange a meeting with Molcho. They haven’t taken a single step. I wanted to cut the story short: what are you willing to do? We meet with Israelis regularly – on security, irrespective of politics we will continue to uphold the rule of law, one authority one gun. No games like 2000. This is a commitment I delivered to Etan Dangot, Amos Gilad and to Uzi Arad by phone. Since April we’ve had nothing from them. Then came Goldstone and all hell broke loose. -
