A small saga to be heard
A young girl, dreaming of being a bird
Living a life
Deprived of strength and vitality
Eager to learn and to do what's right
Owning the hardship of caring for two
Options to abandon, would not do
A burning desire to go far
Escaping only while the door is ajar
Soaring above the emotional traffic jam in her heart
Only returning to extinguish the pain and
Encourage others to do their part
An empty nest would not be left
As mother placed her duties, atop a shelf
Freedom found
Heaven Bound

Men, Women, Friends

The phrase "There is someone for everyone.", brings thoughts to mind. 

When you have a man and a woman who have been engaged in a long term friendship, is it right to cross the line?  Do you cross the line?

You complete each others sentences, you mirror the others soul.  You are struck by the thought of never having a love that makes you 'Breathless'.  As friends neither of you are completely oblivious to the chemistry that emits from a simple touch.  The energy that escapes is visible to outsiders.  Do you continue to torture your being or do you allow your eyes to speak with the rhythm of your heart? Act on it; try it on for size. 

My thought; communication is key.  Discuss your feelings before its too late or others are involved.  You are of course friends, you should be able to talk about anything.  You don't want an endless war of the heart.

Transgender or Scantily Clad?


Which is more socially acceptable a scantily clad female bumping and grinding on national television or someone who has undergone gender reassignment?

Both receive quite a bit of criticism. It amazes me how in the 21st century, so many are such hypocrites.  Listening to excerpts of a few shows, it appears that the Dancing With The Stars viewers may boycott watching the show because Chaz Bono, 'Transgender', will be a dancer on dancing with the stars.  We have parents that speak of this no longer being a family show and they will not allow their children to watch it.  Why? Because YOU the parent are teaching your child to not treat everyone equally?  Without you as a parent advising your children that dancer so & so was born a female, how would the children know? Don't get it twisted, I am fully aware of children obtaining the information by other means, but most things begin in the home or should anyway.   

What's more damaging to a child's view, watching a man dancing across the stage or a female dressed with a smidgen more than pasties and a thong on gyrating across the stage? Humph, I would think the latter.  That's my opinion and I stand by it.

If you have opted to boycott the show, so be it.  You truly don't have to watch it, I'm sure there will be OTHERS that continue to boost DWTS's ratings when you are long gone.  OTHERS, that aren't living in primitive times and choose to accept others for the choices they have made instead of condemning them. 

The mindset of todays society is bound by a learned external power....Racism!

Church or Chutch

Just a small minute since my last post.  A number of thoughts dancing through my mind one of which involves the church.  Yes that's right, Church.

I spent a number of years attending a Pentecostal Church.  Spending every Sunday without fail in Sunday School, Morning & Evening Service and sometimes afternoon programs as well.  Morning service lasting 'til 1:30-2:00 p.m., allowing you enough time to run home or to a nearby restaurant to grab a bite to eat before you were back by 3:00 or 4:00 depending upon what time the afternoon service started.  Those were the days when you were awakened to the sounds of James Cleveland, the smell of fried chicken for dinner, sausage for breakfast and maybe even some pancakes to go alongside that sausage. 

It's funny how times have changed.  We have churches that have more than one morning service to accommodate the growing congregations.  That one service at 7:45 a.m. which I choose to attend as I am an early bird which is considered 'The Hour of Power'.  No frills with this service unlike the regularly scheduled morning service at 10:30 a.m. It may only be an hour to an hour and a half, but I come away feeling like a freshly picked Georgia Peach, full of nutrients and freshness.  Now to me that's Church. 

Now let's tap into what would seemingly be the difference between Church and Chutch.  Some might say Church is where you have spent your time being filled with the Spirit, learned about His Greatness and heard a Joyful Noise from the Choir.  You have left feeling as I, the Georgia Peach, refreshed, renewed and Truly Blessed.  The Presence of the Lord is Here!

Chutch on the other hand  is attended by those trying to see what Fly suit Pastor  is adorned in.  Where Sister So & So is calling for a $2000-$5000 offerin' because Pastor chose to drive the Bentley and obtained a rock chip in his paint job and that same rock put a nick in his windshield.  Pastor has made it known that he now regrets driving the Bentley and should have driven the Escalade instead.  When you attend a Mega Chutch do you come away feeling nourished or just broke as you support your Pastor's High Standard of living?  I'm just sayin', food for thought.

Please do not think that these individuals are unable to provide you with the Word, because I am sure they are.  But are they actually Led by God, are they truly Anointed in their delivery?  

Humph...I know what my thoughts are, what are yours?  I am not a person to quote scriptures but I am a firm believer in God and his work.  And through my belief I am not inclined to believe that his work involves the million dollar home, with the vehicles to match and the suits not far from the same.  

So if you spend more preparation in trying to determine what label is in the back of Sister Sally's or Brother Harry's suit or the square footage of Deacon Joe's home one would conclude that you have not spent enough time preparing to receive the Word of God.
