The execution number one thousand

The United States carried out yesterday the execution number thousand since the capital punishment was restored in 1976. They applied a lethal injection to a man who murdered his wife and his father-in-law in 1988.
The execution was done in the presence of witnesses including one of his daughters-in-law. Mr. Kenneth Lee Boyd, asked her “to take care of his son and his grandchildren”
The death or penalty is a very difficult and controversial issue to talk about, but I think that if someone takes someone else’s lives, he/she needs to pay the price. In this case Mr. Boyd paid the price with his life. (FG).

Christmas Time

I like this blog about Christmas tree. At home we put and decorate our Christmas tree as we always do. The day after Thanksgiving. We put adorns and lights on the windows and around our homes. And we share the holidays exchanging gifts and favorite dishes with our family. It is nice to see the streets and homes with Christmas decorations and it is better when we see the snow falling. I think that Natallia is right, I agree with her. I like Winter too. For me it is one of the best seasons of the year not only because almost all members of the family and friends get together to celebrate Christmas’s Eve and New Years' Eve, but also because it is the best moment to reflect and not to think of fighting or arguing in our homes, works, or schools, etc. This is an epoch of marvel, pleasure, generosity and peace. This is a time to share together with others in need, because there are many people in the world that have nothing to share but poverty and hunger. I think that we should help the churches and other institutions that always ask for donations such as clothes, shoes, can food and money. In this way we all can contribute a little bit for those people who need us in this very special time of the year. (FG)

Yonder Damien Reyes

Last week, was a very sad week for the school of St. Mary of the Assumption, in Elizabeth, NJ, where my wife teaches and my son studies. On Monday the principal of the school, called all seniors to a meeting and with tears in her eyes, she told them that one of their peers passed away. This news was terrible for all of them. Most of them cried because they did not want to believe it. The classes for that day for the seniors students were canceled. Yonder Damien Reyes (rests in peace), was an 18 years old senior student. He was killed in a car accident and his girlfriend was severely injured. Yonder was a baseball start in New Jersey with a prominent future according to the “Start Ledger.” (from Monday 28, 2005)
We all attended to his funeral and viewing between Saturday and Sunday and it was very sad. His family is devastated. No words that came from us could comfort them. But I can say that he will be missed and he will be always remembered. Our prayers go to him,his mom, dad, and the rest of his family. (FG)

Helping others

I think this person is correct when she talks about helping others. And also when she mentions that “there are many ways to help people” In my case I like to help my relatives of members of my family or even persons that I do not have any relationship with them, but for some reasons we get to know each other, then we start a conversation. If they let me, I advice them always with positive thoughts, especially when they face some problems that seem to have not solution. Being positive is a good way to get rid of the problems or at least it helps us to accept the things like they are. On the contrary being negative, makes us sick and probably we never find the solution to our matters. (FG)
