Dear Deanna!
Dear Deanna!
Help me settle this dispute. I lived
with my boyfriend for 3 years and
we broke up. While we were to­
gether he bought me a few things
like a wide screen television, a ste­
reo and a computer. Now he wants
these things back since w e’re no
longer together. I feel it’s my prop­
erty regardless of who paid for it.
Am I right? -T ish a Jones; Atlanta

(AP) — The modem, curved
design o f the stone and copper
building on the “freedom side” of
the Ohio River sits in stark contrast
to a rough-hewn structure inside -
a small pen built by a slave trader in
1833.
The 20-by-30-foot pen is the
starkest display in the National
Underground Railroad Freedom
Center in Cincinnati. Ohio, a $110
million project opened last week in
memory o f the harrowing trips
north by countless slaves.
“It's a place where w e’re getting
people to understand the past and
connect it to the present in an ac­
tive way," the m useum’s executive
director, Spencer Crew, said. The
museum takes a forward look at
race relations while focusing on ti
history o f slavery in the United
States and the secret network that

said Nathaniel Jones, a former civil
rights lawyer and retired federal
judge.
“From generation to generation,
there is this disconnect; they do
not understand the nexus between
slavery, what it did as an institution
... and how that condition created
the conditions we have today. Sla­
very reformed and distorted our
institutions... (which) reflected the
stereotypes and perceptions that
guide people’s thinking.”
The slave pen, much like a small
house made of rough-hewn logs,
was found on a farm near Maysville,
Ky. Preservationists spent six years
researching its history, verifying
that its builder was a slave trader,
then carefully disassembling it and
marking each piece for identifica-
tion.
It is the featured exhibit in the
158,000-square-foot museum. Other

You set yourself up for this di­
lemma by making the mistake of
shacking. If you lived together for
this long without acommitment then
he had a cow and got the milk for
free. He gave you nothing for your
time and efforts while you were
there and do n 't plan to give you
anything when you leave. Yes it
was a gift when everything was
good but now he's flexing the power
of his receipts. Give him his stuff
and make a clean break. Ifyou don't,
those possessions will be his ex­
cuse to keep bothering you.

Dear Chad:
Christianity changes your life for
the better and as a result, the enemy
will come at you harder than ever.
Satan has a glimpse of the good­
ness God has in store for you and
he’ll place obstacles and trials in
your path to get you off track. God
will not burden you with more than
you can handle. Stay in prayer and
know that (Philippians 4:13) you
can do all things in Christ which
strengthen you and (Isaiah 54:17)
no weapon formed against you shall
prosper.

I'm a new Christian and it seems like
my life turned upside down over­
night. When I went to the altar I was
crying and people were jumping
around and it was great. I thought
getting saved was going to make
my life peaceful. Now my life seems
worse than before. I have drama
from people and I sometimes feel
weak. Why is this? -Chad Tho­
