It Appears to be Bruce

From all indications, Bruce Golding will be the next Prime Minister of Jamaica. The EOJ (Electoral Office of Jamaica) has announced 32 seats for the
JLP (Jamaica Labour Party) and 28 seats for the PNP (People's National Party).

The current Prime Minister, The Honourable Portia Lucretia Simpson-Miller, has accepted the EOJ announcement, while continuing to retain all rights under the Jamaican Constitution.

There will certainly be legal actions taken relating to questionable allegiences and American citizenship of certain candidates.

Out of the Darkness

Giving thanks and praises to Our Heavenly Father, Jah Rastafari, who has kept us safe during perilous times!

I want to say thank you to all those who covered us in your prayers of guidance and protection. Psalms were chanted, bibles were read, prayers were whispered and shouted, chalices were lit and drums were beaten. Jah heard the pleas of all you Prayer Warriors and we were spared.

JPS (Jamaica Public Service) has just restored power to our tiny, rural, south coast district. Just in time for tomorrow's General Election here in Jamaica.

We survived Hurricane Dean's passing two weeks ago and have spent that time putting things back together, as best we can. We suffered major water damage, but did not lose the roof, like many of our neighbours.

All the animals survived this time, but we lost the trees - ackee, banana, coconut, otahitie apple, sweet sop, sour sop, pear (avocado), lime, sour orange, june plum, and the sweet mango. I am so thankful that the robin mango tree from my husband's childhood survived. She lost many branches and sustained severe damage to one side, but she is a survivor and will hopefully outlast my grandchildren's great, great-grandchildren's grandchildren.

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Selah.
