Good morning, my brothers and sisters. May the Lord bless you on this beautiful day. My name is Ramon Jean-Claude. I was born in the City of Leon on the island nation of Nicaragua to a Haitian father and Latin mother. I grew up in the City of Boston, State of Massachusetts. My parents emigrated to the United States of America when I was younger. I hold a Doctorate's in Theology from Northeastern University, where I once played football. Presently I am a Pastor with the Seventh-Day Adventist Church of metropolitan Ottawa, Province of Ontario. What's a Caribbean-flavored American preacher like me doing in the Capital region of Canada? Sometimes I ask myself the same question but all I can say is that the Lord works in mysterious ways and as a good Christian man, all I can do is obey His will. He needed me in Canada so that's why I am here.
Presently, in my office, I'm counseling Jeffrey Xavier and his wife Maria Hector Xavier. Jeff is a tall, muscular and stocky, dark-skinned Black man from the City of Montreal, Province of Quebec. He's a graduate of McGill University and works as a Constable with the Ontario Provincial Police. Considering how racist Canadian society is, that's quite a sign of progress. A Black man as a member of the toughest police force in Canada's capital region. Nice. Jeff is doing big things for himself. He recently married a lovely young Jamaican woman named Maria Hector. Now, even though Haitians and Jamaicans are neighbors in the beautiful isles of the Caribbean, things can sometimes get dicey with them. Jamaican men in particular don't like seeing Jamaican women with men from other islands, especially Haitian men.
Somehow, Jeffrey and Maria met, fell in love and got hitched. She's presently studying business administration at Carleton University. He's twenty nine and she's twenty four. They're a young, lively couple. I want to do everything in my power as a pastor to help their marriage succeed. Black Love is something that I believe in. The Lord has yet to introduce me to the young lady he wants me to marry. I am forty years old. All I can do is wait, I guess. Maria was telling me about how frustrated she felt because apparently Jeff neglected her womanly needs in the bedroom. Jeff complained about how his wife was insatiable and when he came home tired about a hard day patrolling the highways of provincial Ontario, he wasn't always 'ready to go'. That poor guy.
