I'm sorry I have to do this here but my congregation has had eeee-nough. My name is Cornelius Jefferson and I am a Babtist preacher just outside of Atlanta. Every Monday eve, I offer help to them who need it by way of running what we call, "Open Ears, Open Hearts." It's mostly parents who are concerned about their children who attend. I try to console as well as listen to horrible stories about how school is like for some of these kids. Our church welcomes all walks of life who have faith in the Lord, and I ask myself sometimes how we're supposed to make it through these hard times.
Of recent weeks, the Monday meeting has turned to matters outside the church and school. A parrishioner by the name of Terrel Williams (is it ok to use his name here?), mentioned that he had bought a new car for his son who was going to college at North Carolina State. It had been a present worthy of Edgerrin Williams (his son) who is the first member of his family to go to a real college. However, not more than a month went by before the car's audio system completely died. Now, I know it to be a fact that Edgerrin was a listener to the rap music, specifically a group called Mystikal and another hiphop group named Scarhead.
I have listened to this music and can understand that it is loud with a heavy bass rhythm but this was a new car and it must be assumed that music should be played on the stereo. Edgerrin's radio didn't fail gradually, but rather went completely dead. Now come on. Since Terrel Williams' brave step forward, other people have complained of the automaker Kia's "in-ability" to make good radioes. MY congregation is built on people who are hard working and who value their purchase. I simply won't sit by and watch a car company rob my people of their hard earned money. So, KIA, you best be making some real radioes, real soon. Thank you for your time.
