A Day In My Life

THE IRONY OF IT ALL pt II Let's start with George Floyd whose unfortunate death highlighted issues that have long gone unaddressed in America. My sincerest condolences to the family especially his children. I am very sorry for the loss of life and the disrespect shown this man, an American citizen, a petty criminal, a father, brother and son whose life was cut short by a series of bad decisions. The officers involved did not deserve to wear the badge and will face the consequences of their actions.  Now does that mean that we need to disband the police? Or defund them? Or riot against them? No. Mob rule does not accomplish anything and further pushes the true cause out of the spotlight. We have a right to gather for peaceful protest. To demand accountability from our leaders and chiefs of police. We have a right to express our concerns and rally against social injustices. ABSOLUTELY! We can not, however, punish an officer for a crime he did not commit while we demand fa...

THE IRONY OF IT ALL....     I have sat and watched, looked, listened and prayed as the events surrounding our world (globally/nationally/locally) unfold. From the obvious push of an unseen, insanely evil, hand moving our country into a state of dependence ripe for a takeover..Oh don't think it could happen?? Please study WWII and WWI; matter of fact just go back to the Romans or when Israel was divided into two fractions. The political mess was nasty. The people were destitute after being stripped by greedy, self-centered, self-promoting, non God-fearing leaders who were only concerned about their next statue or on-time tribute.  Feeding the ego at the expense of the soul! Not much has changed except the invention of a/c and indoor plumbing. But the human heart still has a knack for destruction and short-sightedness always thinking 'their' kingdom or dynasty would be the one that would LIVE FOREVER.. Always missing the fact that we live in a world that i...

What about if all this craziness that we are currently experiencing Police brutality (all Officers are not bad or prejudice or out- stalking blacks and latinos')  Racial profiling (has anyone talked to the insurance companies who practice this?) Racial injustice (been around since we arrived on the first ship however we were not the first race to experience slavery) Poor political leadership (as soon as our PRIDEFUL leaders admit they don't know what to do  and confess to the Lord then our Nation will be healed. The believer and the non-believer will benefit) The whole truth is relative to my social group mentality What about if we are actually witnessing the destruction of our culture from the inside out? What about if the violent riots and protests were actually fired up by people paid to incite them? What if other nations made agreements with greedy godless people to undo our America So we would be forced to accept 'theirs'? What if... Still think t...

ELECTION TIME ELECTION TIME ARE YOU READY?? -Are you praying? It is the beginning of July and November will be here before we can blink. It will be time to choose another Commander in Chief who will hopefully right all of the wrongs America has gotten herself into.  You, like most of the general public, probably already have their minds made up on who they are NOT voting for..but I would like to submit to you my prayer for our remaining time as a free nation. Hopefully, you caught that insinuation. As much as we are not able to fathom the America as we know full of Walmart's, Chick-fil-a's  and drive-thru pharmacies will not always be. Nothing ever is. Civilizations of the past allude to this painful truth. No matter how strong a people are there is always someone stronger. *keep an eye on the world stage especially Russia and the Koreas' events are being planned and unfolded behind many curtains. Am I singularly blaming anyone except for ourselves for our...

REFLECTIONS So, this is 50? Graduate of 1988..when big hair, neon socks and rubik's cube were all the rage. When "Candy" and Cameo were getting it done; Pontiac was still a force with the release of the new Trans-Am. When I first started experimenting with way too many of the wrong things trying to find where I "fit" in not realizing that I was my own club.  This is where I first learned that all friendships don't last forever, people get separated and grow in different directions sometimes its for the best. I remember joining the choir at my college after I went away that fall. I was never fond of the idea of going into more school and wanted to explore other options but we were a middle class black family with roots from the south so there was no other option. My parents lived through the Civil Rights Movement... their movement and understood the power of education. Doors were knocked down and barriers were removed to the point where my generation c...
