enforcement just entails a trip to the desert. We have rules and one of those rules is that we have to prove to a jury—I won’t insult the jurors by calling them peers of the defendants—of average, decent, hard working taxpayers what people like me and you already know. These people in the dock are scumbags. I’m sorry. I can’t take it any more. When the Federal prosecutors put a former Cheetahs bartender on the stand (I refuse to expose her name in the press again) in the trial, it was the last straw for me. To prove their “currency of corruption” charges against , they took a good woman, who has a troubled past, and forced her to relive those troubles and that past in front of judge, jury, the media, and her com- munity. It is, unfortunately, the nature of a system where the 12 jurors did not spend as much time as I working for Mike Galardi. The prosecutors cannot will the stories into evidence. It must be told. She admitted she had taken money from Galardi to perform oral sex on Dario Herrera in the Cheetahs VIP bathroom. She admitted to prostitution. That makes her far more honest than any of the defendants. And you could look at her as one of the unsung heroes if these scumbags get what they deserve from the jury. This woman took the stand and took a bullet for Galardi and the Feds. I hope her life isn’t totaled because of her testimony There are dozens of other former and current Cheetahs employees who could have proven the same thing, albeit not as graphically or dramatically; dozens of us who had to deal with Herrera and the other corrupt city offi- cials in the daily course of our jobs. This woman is not a bad woman. She testified to a mistake she made during a moment in her life when she was desperate. Put yourself in that position and try and imagine what sort of threats it would take to get you to take the stand in front of the world––the commu- nity that you need to live, work and maintain your home and family in––and testify that you had resorted to prostitution in the bathroom of a second-rate strip club. Throw the first stone if you will. But know you are throwing it not at an cal corruption, and worse, but one thing that the government is doing in this evil woman, but at a good woman who made a grievous error.

The message of this verse is powerful. It does not say that God has given us the power to do witnessing. He doesn’t give us the power to get up every day and try to produce some kind of positive behavior that will impress Him or those around us. What He has done is given us the power to BE like Jesus. A long time ago, I was on the evangelism board at my church. My husband, Dave, and I would go out every Wednesday night knocking on doors and telling people about Jesus. Now, I loved the Lord, but I wasn’t a witness for Him. Sure, I was doing the act of witnessing, but I was certainly NOT a witness. I hadn’t allowed the Lord to do the work in me that would let me be a positive witness for Him. I was a controlling, manipulative, angry, bitter, resent- ful, rebellious, hateful, hard to get along with, self-centered woman! Why would anybody ever want to be like me? I didn’t become a witness until I understood the Lord’s power in me to BE. Now that doesn’t mean I never make a mistake or never have a bad day. But it does mean I have far more good days than bad and my behavior continues to improve. It’s not easy to be happy when you are continually trying to be someone you’re not. All you get is the stress and pressure that comes from trying to live outside the per- son God made you to be. Do you know why my husband, Dave, is so happy?
