When that day comes...

Think of everything wrong you have ever said to a loved one. Now, think about that same person passing on. How do you feel now?

Makes y'all think a bit don't it? That person who y'all are thinking of may have passed wanting to know why. What did they do so wrong to be treated in such a way. 

When someone is gone, it's too late then to make amends. It's too late to say your sorry. It's too late to say you love them. It's too late to tell them what they meant to you.

This goes for everyone. 

By no means am I perfect, and I will not try to play off that I am. I have days when my loved ones wonder why I act the way I do at times, the same as I do them. 

Just something to think about today.

Friends or foes...

when we meet new folks, the pic above is one of the first ways we think of them. A new day, maybe a bright spot of a new friendship. Things seem to go great for days, weeks, months, even years. Many folk you can form a bond with that you think will never be broken....

Then rolls in that storm you was never ready for. 

Its sad to say, but I have had this happen one too many times. And the fact of getting older does not change that. There always seems to be that one person out there that can suck the life right out of you in a hurry. A hurt that never really goes away, but builds into a almost hate rage. To tell y'all the truth, I am too old for that crap. I am able now to move on, drop folks like a bad habit. 

I have a few out there that I could never turn my back on due to past happenings. Jack S., he is brotha from anotha motha. That man has been there for me when no one else could care less. Through thick and thin, that man has showed what a true friend is. D.J. H.A., another man who time has split us apart, but we have been able to pick up and go from where we stopped years ago.

There a a few others who have jumped into my life and showed true friendship. Doug B., now that guy I think could be my twin, I am just younger and better looking...LOL

But all jokes aside, it is sad to look back and see those who have been a true foe. Even after you give yourself whole kindheartedly. To see and feel the wounds from the backstabbing, its just sad.

The only thing I am going to add to this, if Y'all are gonna start a new friendship, be true, be you, dont be fake to get what you want.

My prayer...

Dear Lord,

As I thank you for all you have and do for me, I want to take a moment to ask for something not for myself, but my country. Lord, they have removed you from just about everything. From schools, in front of courthouses, even the military is trying to do so now.

Our leaders are doing a job for their own greed, not for the folks who put them there. I would like to ask of you to not allow these political folks back in office. I pray to you to place in folks who know what's going on, who not only see it, but hear it.

I ask you to watch over all our men and ladies who are out there protecting us day and night. Give them peace in not only their mind, but also within their hearts. 

I pray that you are able to help those who truly do not have. Feed them, clothe them, and shelter them. And for those who take advantage of our system, please help them know what they are doing is wrong and stop.

Please bless America once again. 

Please help from north to south and from east to west

In Jesus name I pray

Amen

Someday...

We have all heard it or said it, Someday...

Someday you will have it, or someday you'll be able to afford it. That is one saying I am so tired of hearing. And we all are guilty of saying it, even me.

But here is something for y'all to think on, what if someday never comes? Then what? Most don't even think of that, but I have. I know my "someday" will pass when I do, and I am fine with that. But from now on, when I say it, it will have meaning behind it.

What I mean by that is, is that we all use that as a way to get out of something. Either buying, doing, whatever it may be. We do it to our kids all the time. If asked for something, a reply of someday we'll get it, or y'all will have it. Well, for me, it's going to be a straight answer for now on.

What most don't think of, is that all your really doing is lying about it. 

I know, it sounds kinda petty, but I am so done with "someday". Keep in mind, that someday may come to be a day too late...

Done...

The way I see it, the folks we have voted into office are nothing but a bunch of cowards and crooks. They have done nothing but take my pay, tax my ass off, make me a hell of a lot poorer than what I was 8 years ago. 

Do y'all not get sick and tired of watching your money go less and less? Can y'all really not see what has been going on? Can you even afford to go to work anymore? 

Why is it that this can keep going on? I for one live payday to payday pretty much, and it hurts! I spend my time now worrying about Christmas coming up, my family's needs, and some of their simple wants. It's a damn good thing that I shave my head or I would be pulling my hair out by now! Am I really the only one who has the balls to stand up and tell this administration to kiss my ass? I can not keep doing this and feeling like I am alone in this fight. 

We all are about to be forced to be taxed, fined, billed, leined, and possible jail time for something all most none of us want! What the hell happened to freedom? It is unconstitutional what they are doing, it's that simple. They took an oath to protect us, liars!!

I am a firm believer in what goes around, comes back around. And I for one can not wait for that day. I only will answer to one, and that's the Great Lord above, as far as those in office...

I WON'T BACK DOWN
