A Star's Return
The lead choir singer Gladys Day sing Lord I am trying I am trying I am trying to make a hundred and ninety-nine and half won't do. Lord I am trying Lord I am trying to make a hundred and ninety-nine won't do. And the choir joined won't do O Lord won't do Lord won't do. And that's when the whole church stood up even the pastors. And my mentor Pastor Jessie, Pastor Jessie of the Living Love Church of God has always inspired me since my return to Saint Vincent. Saint Vincent was and is my beloved home. And there have been years that passed by many years almost two decades. And Shalia and I had two children, Jr. and Anglea. Jr. was turning fifteen this year while Anglea was turning 12 years old. Yes it's true that a star football player in his retirement could build a family. I started over again and did the things that I dream of. I felt almost complete as I climbed the Mayor's staff as Chief of Staff. And the city was slowly progressing. We made much progress. People were treating people better. It was a safe neighborhood again. And then I was representative of the Mayor's Office, I went to the local Kings 103 Station to announce new initiatives. And I was in the midst of talking about progress when the radio host of Kings 103 said Do you understand Miguel Jacobs that you are in line to be the next Mayor? Yeah Mayor Don Evers is retiring because it is his last term. And I said plainly no comment. And when I got home my family was cheering and hoping for me to run for Mayor. And I played happy but I was nervous as heck. How could I become Mayor? And why did not Mayor Don Evers tell me this? And I privately talked to my wife Shalia. And I told her I am very nervous. And that I did not expect this. And I am afraid of doing this. And Shalia hold my hand and kiss my forehead and said Look at all the progress we've done together. All the good things, all the hope, all the building, don't just think of yourself. Think of your family, your mother, your children and me. We have done a lot. I said I got to talk to Pastor Jessie. So in the morning I called Pastor Jessie to met with him at the local coffee shop. And we met and I tried to explain my side of the story but he interrupted and said When will people take credit for the things that they have done. When will people learn to accept achievement. When will progress be made by brothers and sisters treating each other like brothers and sisters. That time has not come yet but with faith, works and love we can do this. Brother I think you are passing off something that we need. You can make a difference if you try. Remember that song, Reach out and Touch. Reach out of your issue and see from someone's else perspective. And I said Pastor I will see. And he said Don't see ask God. Then Pastor Jessie left and I drink the rest of my coffee slowly. And as soon as I got out of the shop, my wife Shalia called she said it is urgent. And so I hurry home and rush in. She said Jr. has a game. And so I did not change and hurry with my wife and daughter to his game. And Jr. was good and everybody was cheering him even the cheerleaders and coach calling him MJ. Jr. scored many times. And I tried to congratulate him after the game. And this gang rushed in before me and they were talking to the players. They were making bets. And they wanted my son to enter the NFL and they wanted to be managers. After listening in the hallway, I rushed in and they ran out. And I said I would like to speak to my son alone. And we were alone. Jr. said Dad don't sweat them. They are just playing. Yeah the NFL wants me even the Olympics because you gave me those all around sports genes. I said Son it's up to you. Don't let those fool make the decisions for you. Why were they calling you MJ? It's Jr. He said Dad it's just a nickname besides I like it. Mom, Anglea and you and friends can call me Jr. but my sports' name is MJ. I was just about to leave when Jr. said And what about you? Dad I heard your promotion. Why won't you run for Mayor of Saint Vincent. You know Mayor Don Evers will support you. Don't be so close-minded. Show me how to be a man not just in sports but doing the right thing. And I said you will be the first to know I am running. And my son and I did a secret handshake like frat brothers. So when we went out for dinner I told the family that I am running. And I went back to Kings 103 radio station to announce it. I was the last person in the race but my wife was campaigning so were my children. And so were my friends and we were getting notice and we won the primary. We were too sure but we had a community behind us and we lost the election. But all was not lost, Mayor Betters who won asked me to serve as Deputy Mayor and I prayed about it. And Pastor Jessie told me to negotiate being Deputy Mayor by asking for equal say and equal representation. And Mayor Ursula Betters agreed and that's how I return as a local hero.
