Me: God can I ask you a question?
God: Sure
Me: Promise you won't get mad
God: I promise
Me: Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do you mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late,
God: Yes
Me: My car took forever to start,
God: Okay
Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait,
God: Huummmm...
Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call.....
God: All right
Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?
God: Let me see, the Death Angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.
Me (humbled): OH
GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me (ashamed).........
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me (embarrasses): Ok
God: Your phone went dead bcuz the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me (softly): I see God
God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm sorry God
God: Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me.....in all things, the good & the bad.
Me: I will trust you
God: And don't doubt that my plan for your day is always better than your plan.
Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything today.
God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I love looking after my children......

Hypothesis: Children are simple, they find joy in everything life brings regardless of their circumstances. Therefore their ability to dream is renewed with every slumber.
Observations:

Understand your emotions, never let them control...
Emotions have always played a big role in my upbringing whether I was told not to show them or to express myself freely, they were always there. As a boy, I did a lot of things impulsively with my heart rather than my head & tried to figure out what my emotions were trying to say & what reaction I should give or shouldn’t give in return. I’ve never believed in bottling my...

It's amazing...
It’s amazing, how from dirt new life can spring.
It’s amazing, how from a hurting heart, forgiveness and love can bring,
It’s amazing.
When I saw you today in the distance, my heart stirred,
but my mind said ‘hush’
It’s amazing how much I’d love to rekindle the fire, start anew
It’s amazing when I get that way,

Thank you - a letter to my first love.
I had never been in a serious relationship before and I wasn’t even looking for one. This just kinda happened. As much as I’d want to give all of myself, I thought I was a ‘wham, bam’ kinda guy. I think it all stemmed from me wanting to save myself from the irrationalities and lack of level headed behavior that’s often associated with love.
But I was caught off...

Stop, slow down, cherish life, always.
It’s ridiculous how ironic life is. On Sunday, I saw a tweet that described it perfectly. The tweet read- “Life is too ironic. It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence, and absence to value presence.”
About 5 hours ago, that same tweet surfaced in my head as I wrapped my jog at the Mona bowl. I was locked inside and thought I had no way out. Then I thought...

The innnocence of Childhood
On Sunday afternoon, something eye opening happened. I was playing hide and seek from my god son so I could get to buy him ice cream. I ran outside then downstairs & I hid around the corner. Staring at me from a distance was a little boy playing with his football. He was also staring at the direction my god son would come. I said ‘shh’ and mouthed to him if anyone was coming. ...

Teyana Taylor: A different kind of superstar
by: Sean A. Bennett
If America is the land of golden opportunities then nothing validates this more than the upsurge in American teenage superstars. Within the last decade, more youngsters have been bit by the ‘star’ bug and have sought to create big names for themselves. It’s an extensive list, one that includes actors such as 16 year old Dakota Fanning, 18 year old Taylor...
