Lost and Found....

So, the past couple of weeks have definitely been a learning experience....ups and downs. Mostly ups, but a few downs. What would life be without them though?

I'm gonna focus on the past few days though because it makes more sense to.


This weekend was both Tuskegee and Alabama State's homecomings. However, in retrospect, I realized that I did a LOT of thinking....despite the "hazy" condition I was in for the most part. I learned a few things.

I learned that life is too short to take for granted...

In the past couple of days, a few ICONS have died. Ed Bradley, Gerald Levert, and Brandy Nicole Murphy. Some of us know Ed Bradley, as the intelligent Black journalist on 60 minutes. Many of us know Gerald Levert as the soulful big man with a wonderously rich voice. However, many of us did not know "Nikki"...and that's a shame.

Nikki passed away this weekend as the result of a car accident in the Atlanta area on I-20. The other person in the car, UA basketball player Jermareo Davidson, was seriously injured. While I don't know Jermareo well, I pray for his speedy recovery.


Nikki was one of the most beautiful people that I had ever met. Not only did she have a beautiful smile, but she had a way of making you feel like all was right in the world. Every time I saw Nikki, whatever was on my mind at the time disappeared. She would hug you so tight and talk to you until your problems disappeared into thin air. She was a beautiful soul and she will be missed greatly.
My heart goes out to her family and her sisters in Delta Xi Phi. They were a big family filled with love. My prayers, as I'm sure many others are as well, are with you.

Some people are just not gonna like you....even if you don't know why

Not too much to say other than that....Some people are just childish like that.

Sometimes you can worry yourself right out of a blessing....

As long as you are trying to do things in your own way and manner, God is not being glorified through your work. I am guilty. I've had a SUPERMAN complex for years in matters of political and social importance. (At least what I considered important. Now though, I just want to let go and let God. I've retired from "The Revolution" in favor of going where God wants me to go. This must be how the Israelites felt.
I feel as though I'm walking through life, now humbly seeking to hear God's voice in the midst of all the shouting. I know that I DEFINITELY have a good way to go, but I'm sure I'll get there if it's HIS will.
In the fussing, fighting, rigamarole, and strain of everyday life, I forgot about HIS plan because I was too busy making my own. That was my worst mistake. Fighting my own battles instead of letting Him fight for me was another one.

Times are a'changing friends....
