Stop This Madness Stop This Madness
September 25, 1999 was the saddest day of my life. It is the day my son chose to break into his final home. My heart felt like it stopped beating.
I spoke for the first time at my son's funeral with over 200 people there (Mostly all teenagers). I told them God sent this child in to this world to be funny & loving, and make so many friends & win so many hearts, then to go out of this world with a "BANG" to teach a lesson to many others! Little did I know how many people this would be reaching!
As I went into my grieving process I created a "Wanted" poster and went to a printing company and asked them how much to print this poster so that I could deliver this message to our youth. God was gracious and I was given 3000 posters at NO CHARGE! This was only a week after my son passed. I mailed these posters to every Juvenile facility, every one in the House of Representatives, even to the White house. I kept myself very busy.
One of the youth drug facilities called me in November and asked me to come speak to their participants on Family Night. I was very shy and nervous as I went. I brought carnations and handed them to all the teens to hold as I spoke and then at the end of speaking I told them to give the flower to their parent or loved one who was there with them supporting them through this time in their life as a thank you for their support. This was my first time speaking to the youth and there was not a dry eye in the place.
I never would have thought I would come this far. Over the past three years God has used me immensely and shown me to have talents that I never thought I possessed. I have been to many places and events speaking to the youth. This past in August I did something else I never thought I could do. I sang the song "Tomorrow" by the Winans during one of the events. I saw the look on those young men's faces and knew that I did reach them! Not one of those young men will forget that day! Hopefully the message will keep them from ending up like my Magic.
September 25, 2002 - 3 years have passed since my baby died. As I was driving to work that day I was preparing myself to speak (as I do every October at a facility where Magic once was placed) and I was saying (to myself) should I sing that song? Do I really sing it ok? All of a sudden God put a song in my head and in my heart! God gave me a song for the youth!
He gave me the words & he gave me the melody! I sang it into my cell phone because I always think of poems or words and forget them by the time I get to a pen and paper.
Everywhere I sing this song I am told that it needs to be recorded and it needs to be heard. I am now in the process of trying to get this achieved. I am sure if God wants this message heard that this will be accomplished. I have never been so aggressive in my life so I know that this is meant to come to a reality.
This is the end of my article but not the end of my story. Stay tuned to hear good news of a song and message for the youth! Prepare yourself for "Stop this Madness"!Contact
