In A Dry Place

I am in a dry place right now just wanting things to change but not knowing which way I need to go. Normally I am a very detailed person in regards to planning things that I want to do. But for some reason I feel as if I am in a place where whether I plan or not, it is just time for me to walk through a place like the children of Israel did when they were brought out of the Egypt. But I am trying to hold on to my faith and not be unbelieving because I really don't want to walk around the same place or in a circle for 40 years or longer than I am supposed to. Sometimes it gets hard because I am dealing with one terminal illness and a chronic one that begs me to just lean on the Lord and think about Job. Being in this wilderness place sometimes makes me sad because I think about all the time I have wasted doing things that were not necessary or for the best. But like the saying goes, I may not be where I want to be, I sure am not where I used to be. Can I get Amen?!!!

Truly Inspirational

Well hello: I am still not getting used to having a black President in the White House. It is funny how people make jokes though about certain things that were dominated by white people but now have black people involved in them. For example, I heard someone talk about that is why they call the white house the white house: it is for white people and not black. And someone else made the joke about does it mean that now they need to change the name to the black house. Too funny. And remember when Tiger Woods won the Masters in Golf. Someone joked that it was called the Masters because black people were not supposed to be in it, much less win it. But needless to say, I am just very excited about the changing times of America and the acceptance of this much needed act to happen.

I was also viewing a video about some blood gang members who were saying that this is what a black man is supposed to do: get themselves up and bring up the others. Show them how to get out of their foolishness and do what is good. They were referring also to how Jim Jones and Lil Wayne were now repping that they were gang members. They were perplexed as they did not understand how you could do that when you have made a name for yourself doing something that should teach young people to at least give themselves a chance to make it. Anyhoo, to each his own. But I agree with the bangers. Don't do good or become successful and then want to be gangsta. Amazing how it appears that a successful black man can't own up to his success without wanting to do something negative to make a name for themselves as if being famous for rapping isn't enough. Sad, but true.

YES WE CAN!!!

YES WE CAN AND YES WE DID!! I am so excited about the election. We did not just elect a black man, we elected a qualified man who ran for all people. I give so much props to the young people for seeing beyond what the media was trying to play out: race. People who want change saw a competent man who loves his family and had no scandal to exploit. This is a historic day in all parts of the world. Now everyone knows that America is the greatest country in the world. I like the fact that now we can kick can't out of the vocabulary and say yes we can. Now we have a leader who is a motivator and an encourager who will impact society to be their best and to make a difference in their community. It starts locally and internally. YES WE CAN!!!!
