We had our meeting for July almost 2 weeks ago. The meeting was transformed into BSURE's very own talk show where members were selected to take on certain characters from the book The Darkest Child by Delores C. Phillips.  Needless to say, it was entertaining and eye opening at the same time. I didn't realize that some of the members had it in them to be such good actors. At any rate, everyone enjoyed themselves, including our guest.

I was thinking recently about all of the deaths that had happened within the last several weeks. Farrah Fawsett, Steve McNair, Ed McMahon, Michael Jackson,  and now we read about the death of E. Lynn Harris.  I first read E. Lynn probably in the early 90s. I have to admit, it took some getting used to. He wasn't one that would mix his words or sugarcoat. He was straight to it, no in between. But after awhile, I started to really enjoy his writing and can now consider myself to be a fan. To hear of his death at age 54 so suddently was a total surprise. I haven't read yet where there's been an official cause of death. But considering how many high profile deaths have occurred lately, it makes you step back and realize how unpredictable life can be.

One thing I hope is that every day I live, I can look back and say that I made the most out of every opportunity to spend with family and people I care about the most. Because we don't know when our last day may be.  Take it to heart and let's all be blessed!

Your Pres, Kellye
