Gary Jenkins/TalkNet Now
Connecticut Responds to the Death of Whitney Houston
by
Dr. Gary L. Jenkins, Host of TalkNet Now

As I watched the news reports on the death of Whitney Houston, I was overwhelmed with emotion over the tragic loss of a beautiful God-given gift.  In a recent interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer Houston said, "Don't pray for the drugs, pray for me."  Houston went on to say that no matter what, she is a "child of God."

I agree, that no matter who we are or even how far we may fall, those of us who accept Jesus as Lord have hope of salvation.  

Now you can see what others in Connecticut had to say about Whitney's death by clicking on the video below, a special TalkNet Now presentation.

The Death of Whitney Houston

I am deeply saddened and my heart is heavy over the death of Whitney Houston.  She was one of my favorite singers.  Like most of us, I don't know the details of what she was going through in her last hours of life, but obviously, she was troubled and hurting.  I know that her family tried to reach out to her many times.  I only wish that someone could have saved her and reminded her of the countless lives she touched with her music and how she inspired so many with her powerful performances.

My prayers are with her mother Cissy, her daughter Bobbi-Kristina, former husband, Bobby Brown and all the members of her family.  We'll gather your response on camera soon so get ready to tell us how you feel over the news of Whitney's death.  We'll share your comments coming up on TalkNet Now.

Hello Everyone!

Hope you're doing well.  I'm excited about our new venture in blogging and joining the New Haven Register's Community Media, a blogging platform for all of us regular folk.

On this site, you'll be given an opportunity to voice your thoughts on topics in the news.  We'll take to the streets with our HD broadcast cameras so that we'll get your thoughts on the issues of the day or the things that matter to you.
As a former radio and television broadcast journalist, I'll reach down and draw from that experience to bring interesting topics to the forefront of the media arena.  The good news is you won't need to be spoon fed the news of the day, now your voice will count.  It is my sincere hope that when the people speak, the leaders and the powers that be will take note and listen.
