Hello World,
(from 11 Alive News)
I’m not really a sports aficionado…Most of what I know about what’s going on in the sports world is just told to me by my husband…However, I must admit I’ve been checkin’ for the Atlanta Falcons over the last year or so when I heard the news that two historic black churches, Friendship Baptist Church, Atlanta’s oldest black Baptist church which was instrumental in the founding and establishment of Morehouse and Spelman Colleges and Mount Vernon Baptist Church would be demolished to make room for a brand new $1.2 billion stadium for the Atlanta Falcons…Members of the churches voiced strong opinions on either side, but one member of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, called the church lady by 1380 WAOK’s Derrick Boazman, spit her words out with absolutely no restraint at all…
“Desecrating the sacred ground of two historic black churches to build a stadium facility for a second rate football team,” said Mount Vernon Baptist Church member Vickie Johnson, according to an 11Alive News report by Keith Whitney…
I cannot personally vouch for Ms. Johnson’s personal relationship with God, but she may know something that Arthur Black, owner of the Atlanta Falcons, and the Atlanta Falcons don’t y’all…Since then, the Atlanta Falcons haven’t been able to string a few wins together, losing 17 of 22 games according to Whitney, when the team seemed to be at least a decent team before Ms. Johnson put the whammy on them…Last week, they even traveled (along with many hopeful fans) and lost royally in London..
So I’m thinking this needs to be you, Mr. Blank, and the Atlanta Falcons, on today, since the Atlanta Falcons aren’t playing…
And if you see a church lady like this at a black church:
Or if you see a church lady like this at a white church:
You best bow down, confess your sins and ask for forgiveness…
Any thoughts?
Well I guess the curse exist because they loss terribly yesterday SMH
It’s past time for Arthur Blank and the decision making officials to have a “Come to Jesus” meeting with the Church Lady to see how this curse can be resolved. I enjoy a good professional football game but unless something is worked out with the Church Lady, it appears I won’t be enjoying that game with the Falcons.
If My Vernon is the church I’m thinking of, the one that was up the street from the towers on the left, it would be an awful thing to tear it down. I say this because we, MBC Concert Choir recorded in the sanctuary and the acoustics in the ‘sanctuary’ cannot be rivaled. We had no fancy recording equipment, only what was built into the sanctuary. The most perfectly acoustically sound you could ever hear. It would be another sad loss. Not just due to the Falcons but to replace this sanctuary for any other building would be a tremendous historic loss! My opinion, I’m entitled to it. As for the supposed church ladies…no comment on that…
That’s Mt Vernon, the recording was made back in 1972 or 72.
