RECOVERING Continued from page 12
• It’s a mistake wanting people to hear only your side of the story, or not forgiving; not living holy; not admitting when we’re wrong. • It’s a mistake not being obedient to Almighty God, or doubting Him when we “know too much” about Him! So, how do we recover from past mistakes? Once things are done, they’re done, right? How do we recover from the things we don’t want to admit to? David, looking out over his balcony, saw a fine young woman, named Bathsheba, bathing and said, “I want her. That’s king’s ‘stuff.’ Bring her here!’ ” Someone said, “King, she’s married.” But David, in a kingly tone, said, “Am I not the king? That’s king’s ‘stuff’ — go get her, and bring her here!” And David slept with her. But, it was another man’s wife. David got her pregnant and wanted to keep her. But, it was another man’s wife. David began to scheme and manipulate events to selfishly get what he wanted. But, she was yet, still another man’s wife! Isn’t that just like some of us? Selfishly scheming sinfully to get something we really aren’t supposed to have in the first place? Say amen, somebody! David was a man whom God gave a kingship and blessed with favor and had all this over here, but yet wanted that over there. Isn’t that like some of us also? We can have all this over here, but still want what we shouldn’t have over there? In II Samuel 12:1-6, God sent a prophet to David to tell him about himself. Nathan told David the story of a rich man and a poor man who had very little. The poor man had one little ewe, which he cherished, while the rich man had flocks. And when the rich man needed food to help a traveler out, he took the only ewe the poor man had, rather than one from his own flock. And David got angry! “Who is this man? He deserves to die and pay four times over because he had no pity! Who is that man?” Nathan said, “It was you, David. That man is you!” David broke down and said, “I have sinned against the Lord.” Nathan said, “The Lord has taken away your sin. You’re not going to die.” But, the son you bore, he’s going to die.” David fasted and prayed that the Lord would not have him pay that steep of a price. But the son passed away. David, in his conviction, then, became a blessing to us by writing this 51st Psalm. It shows us how to recover from our personal mistakes:

Point No. 1: Let somebody tell you about yourself and not just want you want to hear. “It was you, David! That man was you!” Point No. 2: Acknowledge that you did what you did; you can’t recover from a mistake until you first admit you made one! Point No. 3: Repent! Without excuse-making or name-blaming. Just repent! Then, like David, ask for cleansing with hyssop, and a new heart with a steadfast spirit. And even plead, “Lord, don’t take away the Holy Spirit! Don’t cast me from your presence! Restore the joy of your salvation! Grant me a willing spirit to get through the process!” God then helped David recover! If God can help David recover, He can “sho nuff” help you and I. If God can cleanse an adulterer, He can “sho nuff” cleanse you and I. If God can blot out the sins of a murderer, a twister of the truth, a manipulator, conniver and selfish person, He can blot yours and mines. If God can renew a right spirit in David, He can renew one in needy, stingy, faithless people like you and I! We don’t have to live low, in guilt, with fear or in pain. We can get up, dress up and get back in the fight. We can pray up, praise up and get back on the battlefield. We can still get prayers through. Still be healed and still get to a home not made by hands! We can still stand on His Word! Expect to walk on streets of gold and still expect to see His face! He’s still the “Great I Am!” Still a “Rock in a weary land,” and Jesus is still the “Bright and Morning Star!” And you and I can recover from past mistakes! Say amen, somebody!

amount (26 percent) being girls than boys (9 percent), according to the report. Another important finding was that those who committed a violent act against a peer or a sibling were more likely to be violent against a date or sex partner. This was especially so for boys. So one lesson from the study might be that one act of physical violence is a warning sign of other violence and victims to come. On to another topic… It’s been several years since the news broke on the miraculous Tim Brown, aka the “Berlin Patient,” who was then believed to be cured of HIV. A recent update on his condition was just published in the journal Blood. Some scientists had thought, as is usually the case in HIV infection, that Brown’s long-lived, virusinfected cell-reservoirs might eventually begin reproducing HIV again. That has not been the case, according to the report. After several years of recovering from procedures that included a transplant of unique HIV resistant stem cells, his immune system appears to have reconstituted on “the systemic level as well as in the gutmucosal immune system …” with no sign of HIV. The report concludes, “… our results strongly suggest that cure of HIV has been achieved in this patient.” Brown’s case has now spawned a demand for more HIV cure-related research. A recent report by the AIDS Policy Project noted that only 3 percent of the U.S. AIDS budget goes to such research. UCSF is now enrolling patients for one such study.
Call it “Berlin Patient Lite” involving a less invasive procedure using a person’s own immune cells. The cells will be extracted, then reprogrammed, then re-infused with the hope they will continuously fight off HIV and perhaps even provide a cure. Considering a working vaccine is a distant possibility and that HIV
drugs costs tens of billions a year, cause life-threatening side effects, and are available worldwide to only about a third who need them, it seems reasonable to attempt efforts toward a cure. It’s likely Brown would be the first to agree. For more on the new study, go to questclinical.com.

organizations and people that would attempt to control women and who would destroy our families in a heartbeat. Organizations that have the audacity to attempt to link their agenda with the philosophy of King by placing billboards along the parade route celebrating him and the movement from which he sprang. These billboards dehumanize Black children and charge Black women with genocide — something King would never, ever stand for. I look forward to the Kingdom Day Parade in Los Angeles, the children, high school bands, local personalities and line-dancing seniors; it is a heart-warming and powerful way to convey to our children and to ourselves who the Black community is in L.A. and what we stand for. It is a reminder of how far we have come and that we have not yet arrived. It’s a chance for those we share this road with to come together and celebrate the milestones on this journey, and that we are a powerful, visionary people. “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable ... It comes only through the tireless efforts and passionate concern of dedicated individuals ... This is no time for
apathy nor complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. What does this moment ask of you, and what does it ask of me? 1. Gather more information; see our website at www.trustblackwomencalifornia.org. 2. Write something, say something. Blog, tweet, Facebook and put our technology prowess to use. 3. Talk to your friends and neighbors. People might not have noticed yet, or may be understandably confused, and a few words from you can help explain how these billboards got here and the ulterior motives of the sponsoring foundations.
