The Dis-ease Of The Disease
This thing has the audacity
To enter into my body
And then proceed to block me
By causing me pain and suffering
From enjoying everyday and special activities
How dare you,
Who invited you in?
You wanna takeaway the foods I like eating
You wanna limit my activities and mobility
My quality of life you are diminishing
I pray to God you won’t win
Because imma keep on fighting
Until…

Where Is God
I once read an article entitled Where is God. As I was reading it, I reminisced on how I never had to ask that question. Since I met God decades ago, He was always in my life. I mean I not only felt His presence, but He has shown His miraculous ability to solve problems just in the nick of time, again and again. He’s been very merciful and forgiving.
I couldn’t help but just meditate and…

Have Texts Replaced Conversations?
I really love technology. I am truly grateful for the inventors who brought us technology that make tasks in our lives faster to do and more convenient. Some of the things the cell phone can do really amaze me. Now a days I find myself doing more texting than talking. It really comes in handy if you want to convey a short message and don’t want to hold a conversation. But the last time I…

Is This Hell?
My initial learning about Hell was that it was a place where you go to after you die if you have not been saved meaning you had not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior or repented of your sins. Hell was a place of eternal fire and permanent separation from God.1 Just the thought of that makes me cringe as that is such misery and the thought of being in a fire is just unbearable. But at one…

Why Buy It If It’s Bad For You?
Why Buy It If It’s Bad For You?
I stare at the treats in the grocery store and debate; should I buy them or should I not?
Then I look at the list of ingredients. Usually they have a high percentage of at least one thing I know I shouldn’t put in my body. So, why buy it if it’s bad for you?
Because my body still craves the treats. I be afraid If I don’t buy them at all, then near the end of the night or at some…

Understanding Reasons For Suffering In Silence
Why didn’t they tell me? I thought I was close enough and important enough to know. These are the questions I used to ask when I tried to understand why some people didn’t even tell the ones they were close to the trouble they were going through. But after going through some challenges of my own, I got a better understanding on why people suffer in silence or don’t disclose to even close ones…

Well, What Are You Doing?
I’ve been lamenting lately how things have changed and not for the best in my once beautiful community. As quality of life issues are becoming a challenge. Often I was talking about how thing can improve with good leadership and accountability. I even talked about how I don’t hear community or religious leaders stress simple Godly principles or His Commandments as they will lead to better…

Don’t Look At Them
Don’t Look At Them
How they were conducting themselves really got on my nerves. I would see them do the same thing several times a day. It got to the point where I asked God why are they being so rude. And He responded “don’t look at them.” He was telling me the reality was that I was creating my own misery by placing myself in a position of making someone else’s business my business. They were not making…

The Rage On The Roads
The Rage On The Roads
When I started driving it was not common to hear about road rage. I was taught to let aggressive drivers have their space. These days overly aggressive drivers enter your space as they don’t want to share the space that belongs to all of us. In a recent incident there was plenty of room for me to merge in the left lane, but before getting there the driver blew horn and sped up so as to not let…

Do Not Follow
Pressure can be enormous not to follow the crowd. I remember a work situation where the supervisor gave out specific instructions to the group to go to a certain place off site and do some work there. Along the way, someone in the group decided to deviate from the instructions and do something at a different site that was more personal than job related. Everyone in the group went along not…

Sustainment Without Sustenance
I reflect on the beginning of the 2020 pandemic when most recreational events were starting to close and I asked myself how am I going to keep my sanity when the very things that keep me going are no longer in existence? As bad as I thought my situation was, I saw others that had it much worse. Businesses in all industries had to close leaving employees suddenly without jobs. I’m sure it was…

Revenge-God’s Justice
Is it easy to let someone’s wrongful actions go? I say it’s not. When you’ve been wronged, emotions are high to make yourself whole again and human nature seeks the best way of getting revenge.
Sometimes I look back at a situation I’ve been in and someone said something harsh to me and I couldn’t think of how to respond at that time so I stayed silent. Later, when I could think of what to…

Telling Or Not Telling Something Sensitive
Telling Or Not Telling Something Sensitive
You know how it goes, somebody tells you something sensitive and tells you not to tell nobody. It can be a hard situation to be in because if you tell someone then you break your word or lie. But what if what they told you is so compelling that it almost requires you to tell someone? For example, what if someone told you they would so something that jeopardizes their safety. Would you say…

It’s God’s Will
If faced with accepting tragedies or difficult outcomes
At what point do you keep praying for a favorable outcome
Or, realize this situation is God’s will and accept the unfortunate situation?
I’ve seen situations where I thought folks should just say it’s God’s will
A good example is praying for a person who is terminally ill
I would factor in science, like the age of a person, overall…

Rejected Or Not Wanted
Rejected Or Not Wanted
What is a more hurtful emotional feeling than the one of being rejected or not wanted?
It may leave you angry, but likely to leave you sad or dejected
It hurts deeply, and is difficult to overcome
And the feelings may last years or even a lifetime
And they may sever relationships and associations
And these feelings could happen in any setting
Work – rejected for promotion
Home – not…

It Feels Good To Be Loved
It Feels Good To Be Loved
No calls or visits in awhileNo laughter hugs or smilesNot that apart by many milesSo is being together on trial?
Nights and days pass away,Without checking to see if everything OKWondering how long will this separation stayThe bonds of togetherness seem to be in disarray
Then all of a sudden out off the blueThe calls started coming throughIt’s been awhile since we heard from youI thought there…
