JANUARY 13, 2023....HAPPY HEAVONLY BIRTHDAY MAMA.......ST. LOUIS MO.
At the writing of this blog the current President of the United States, Joe👴 Biden and the former president, Donald👱 Trump are both under federal investigation by a special prosecutor for conduct💩 unbecoming an elected official in the nations highest office.
Sad😒 but true.
Apparently, there are "none righteous" to be found. It seems that no matter what office you may hold or what title🙈 you may posses corruptness🙉 and wickedness🙊 has you bound.
Contrary to popular belief, Satan👹 and his imps👿 are alive and well.
But God already knew that this is how it would be. In fact, according to biblical writings in the book of Genesis, when God decided to destroy the wicked in the past he gave His man at that time, Abraham👳, some leeway.
Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous: will thou spare the destruction💣 for fifty?
Abraham knew enough about God to know that He was/is extremely merciful. So he kept petitioning God to be merciful to the inhabitants of the earth. And each time he lowered the number from 50 to 40 to 30 to 20 to 10 and each time God allowed his request and each time none could be found.✋
Then or now.😲
Today, wicked men in sheep's clothing are beguiling😤 Gods children.
And the sad part is they are hiding in plain sight. Spiritual 💀wickedness is in the White House and in the Halls of Congress hiding under the guise of politics of, for, and by the people.
Actually, the tentacles of unrighteous has saturated all occupations including, but not limited to, the medical 😷profession, the School of👎 Law, corporate america, law 👮enforcement, the criminal💂 justice system, education, and last but not least, the Church👻 where getting rich has become way more important than care for Gods people.
With all of these charlatans in every nook and cranny of american society proudly wearing their "badges of😭 dishonor" is it any wonder that the youth of today are "wilding-out" causing murder😱 and mayhem in every city in the country?
The youth are watching. They see👀 full well that the criminals are in charge of the asylum. Therefore they see no need of doing anything right because all of the so-called leaders of the free world are doing wrong.
This writer believes that God has gotten tired of the foolishness😡 of {went men and not sent men} and soon and very soon He is going to make His presence known and move His mighty hand just like He did in the days of old.

{Editors note}in the above picture standing to the right is a beautiful sister holding her son in her arms and her daughter by the hand. The year is between 1956 and 1961. The crowd is gathered because a God Sent Man - The Revered Sherman Glover - had ordained that the 4th Sunday in August was a Holy Day and in essence the beginning of the New Year for all of Gods children that had been summoned to follow the teachings, direction, and guidance of a Man Sent Directly From God. The day was set aside for the annual baptism ceremony conducted in the mighty Mississippi river (free flowing water - NOT A POOL) followed by the once a year sacrament service. The beautiful sister is my mother and the child in her arms is me. I could never thank God enough for my mother teaching me everything she knew about what a God Sent Man - like Abraham is - and further, what a God Sent Man is capable of doing ...by Gods Permission.{end}

But this current crazy world makes u feel like you are playing out parts, or being supporting actors or not-supporting actors in a movie....a(B) bad movie. Its really toooo weird and abnormal to believe and or comprehend the day to day 👀madness, shenanigan's, and criminal activities currently bombarding people in this country and abroad.
This kaint be real....but it is.
Where did this world come from? And will it ever end? Only God knows!!
I'm sure that many and most of us thought everything was going to be alright just as soon as President Donald Trump was no longer on the scene.
Well, guess what? 45 is gone and things are worse than ever before.
And its not his fault that we are in the midst of a pandemic. Nor is it his fault that discrimination, denial of basic human rights and government imposed mandates are cruising at a higher level than when he was in office.
Sure, 45 may have opened the door and given credence to the Pandora's Box full of 👿 spiritual wickedness that is prevailing and flowing all over this nation.
But oppression, control, manipulation💪, and domination of the masses has always been the objective of oligarchist and other power brokers like Big💀 Pharma who practically owns the governing body in Washington D.C.
So, don't be deceived this mindset is not new - its just been laying dormant. But not anymore.
You ask why???
Because the love of power and money😡 rules and not the power of "we the people".
We are currently living under a dictatorship in this country that is ruining the lives of countless Americans because they have chosen to follow the dictates of their heart (God) and not the demands of corrupt and greedy👴 men.
When I started to write this blog countless Americans were losing or being threatened to lose their jobs and livelihood because the God they serve has said NO to the vaccines.
All over this country people were/are being taught to hate other people that don't comply with the government mandates - mandates which have been declared by the Supreme Court to be illegal.
Still, following the path less traveled has turned millions of Americans into societal "outkast".
Which brings me to this blog. Currently, lines are still being drawn in the sand to separate vaccinated people from un-vaccinted people. None compliers are being terminated for "rejecting the covid 19 vaccination" or #RejectNTheJabb.
The powers that be, pharmaceutical💩 conglomerates, and others have tried scare tactics, bribery, guilt, shame, blame, and job removal to motivate the unvaccinated to get vaccinated because - according to them - they care about us sooo much.😴💤
Even people with religious👪 exemptions are being put in the unemployment line for #RejectNTheJabb.
Beloved, this is lunacy👹 because there is no guide line to determine if someone is sincere about worshipping and following the God that they profess to know.
You don't have to be a card carrying Christian, Muslim, 👳 Hebrew, Buddhist, or🙌 Catholic. You don't need a preacher, Iman, cleric or any other religious👻 person with a title and or a degree to agree with you or sign-off cosigning your belief.
The worship of God☝ is as individual and personal as our finger🙏 prints.
All u need to have is a sincere heart felt belief that the God u serve is saying "NO✋" to the vaccine at this time. Who knows, maybe in time God will change hearts and minds but not now.
My God saying( no) to me at this time is not infringing on your God telling you (yes). But make sure its God talking to you from the inside and not the "outward👽 voices and opinions" stirring💂 or swaying you to conform.
Freedom to worship The Creator of the World in any way you chose is not only a God given right but an United👮 States Constitution right as well.
There is always a temptation to do what "seems like" the right thing to do. But the Holy writings indicate that, "there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" further "no man can serve two👈👉 masters: either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other, Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
We chose to follow God because we know him and we love him..........and God knows what is best 4 US!!........his chidren. And if u trust God with all your heart and soul he will bring u out victorious.
How do I know? Well, I know for many reasons but in October, at the height of this "mandate" madness, my significant other, along with over 400 other teachers, counselors, and support staff were terminated from their employment with the St. Louis Public Schools(SLPS), under the direction of the Mayor of St. Louis, and the Superintendent of SLPS, for #RejectNTheJabb.
Many, including my wife, submitted religious exemptions, but they ALL were rejected, and the terminations were enforced.
For the record, let me state that my wife was born to be an advocate for children and has dedicated her life to be the best that she can be for children and adolescents. She has pursued and completed degrees in Special Education, Criminal Justice, and Mental Health Counseling all key areas needed for the growth and development of todays at-risk youth.
Clearly, anyone who desires to be a teacher in this day and age is definitely NOT doing it for the money......but because of their love and caring desire to help Gods children.
Needless to say she was devastated by her termination, as was all the parents, children, co-workers, and support staff who knew, loved and depended on her showing up and fulfilling her calling on a daily basis.😁💚❤
But she was devastated even more because of the so-called friends and family members who attacked her and her relationship with God and her decision to #RejectTheJabb and follow the dictates of her heart, her faith, and her spiritual teachings concerning God finding favor with couples being on one accord in all things. Gods children don't have to think alike but they do have to think together.
Still, in unprecedented times like these, the "powers👽 that be" saw fit to put dedicated and caring teachers and staff on the streets and have custodians, human resources personnel, and suspect individuals with 20 hours college credits in the class rooms, rather than hold on to their qualified staff, in a school district that was/is already understaffed and overwhelmed.
Nevertheless, #GodDontLikeUgly.☝
As of two weeks ago all of the terminated individuals who submitted religious exemptions have now had their exemptions "accepted" and they are being coerced and summoned to return to work with SLPS, with no vaccine requirement just weekly testing.👀
But, no apologies?👂 No "I'm sorry, we made a mistake"?😧 No mention of compensation or accommodations for the mental, physical and spiritual distress and duress they were subjected to?😭 No dialogue about the loss 😡of wages and denial of Unemployment Insurance claims?😖 No, nothing!! Just come back.....
Many of the over 400 staff that were terminated have been living in perpetually hell for the last four months due to their loss of income because spiritually wicked individuals in SLPS decided they had better take the covid-19 vaccine or I'm/we are going to ruin your life.👿
Surly, personal and collective lawsuits and EEOC claims have already been put in motion on behalf of many of the terminated SLPS employees and many are only making a determination to return to the SLPS for the benefit of the families and children that need their caring spirit and presence in the midst of all the chaos and confusion within SLPS.
So thankful and glad that me and mine know how to hold on to Gods unchanging hand.❤
We have added some new custom designs to our clothing line and apparel including our "Iron-On Logo Patches." Pease visit our stores on-line.
Thanking you in advance

And as always: "proceeds generated from the sell of the #RejectNTheJabb Hoodies, T, masks, and other memorabilia will be used to facilitate the construction of the ORP Critical Thinking Literacy Lab and Community Center." A 501C3 charitable organization. "WE DARE TO CARE"
"Many people fear nothing more terribly than to take a position which stands out sharply and clearly from the prevailing opinion. The tendency of most is to adopt a view that is so ambiguous that it will include everything and so popular that it will include everybody. Not a few men who cherish lofty and noble ideals hide them under a bushel for fear of being called DIFFERENT"....Martin Luther King Jr.
Had it been Gods will my father would have been 134 years old today.
An age a little bit out of the ordinary...but totally possible. Especially, for a man such as him, who had received abundant favor from God, similar to some other great African Hebrew patriots of biblical times, i.e. Abraham, Moses, and King David.
If there ever was a man that personified the above quote by Dr. King..........Reverend Glover was it. He was a totally different man. And the gospel that he was called, chosen, qualified and sent to teach/preach did not include everything(lies👿) nor did it include everybody( over-bearing religious fanatics).
Reverend Glover knew God. And he made sure that you knew God too. To him God was/is REAL and not confined to literature.
He was 67 years old when I was conceived, my mother was 29.
And although they were never married the love💖 he had for my mother and I was genuine and he proved it by taking an active role in all aspects of my early education and up-bringing and not just my spiritual development.
My mother adored him, and clung earnestly, to every word and teaching that proceeded out of his mouth. So much in fact that I was delinquent🏃 from attending public school for a very long time because of what she heard being taught by Reverend Glover.
My mother"homeschooled" me until the Department of Social Services demanded that I be placed in public school or I would be removed from her custody and care.
Why?
Because the Reverend had preached that there was going to come a time in this country when parents were going to have to "teach their children at home". So she wasn't going to take any chances she was starting early.😃
In order to attend public school I had to be vaccinated.
My mother informed my father the day it happened. He told her to immediately fill the bath tub with water as hot as I could stand it and salt. He told her that would draw all of the "poison💀"from the vaccine out of my body. He said, "some vaccine's effect you soon some effect you later, but they all will change what God has ordained in your body".
Eventually, I attended Farragut Elementary school, located in north St. Louis.
For most children in our neighborhood your education began with kindergarten classes and continued through the eight grade. Because of systemic racism😡 and economic poverty north St. Louis was a very violent place in the 50's and 60's....just as it is today.... and practically for the same reasons.
But, I remember as a child I wasn't allowed to play with guns..... of any kind.
The Reverend preached that children shouldn't play with guns. Not water guns, not pop guns, not cap guns, not BB guns. Some members (secretly) didn't adhere to that revelation and gave their children toys of every type.....but not my mother.
Because the Reverend said, " If you don't give them a gun while they are little the police👮 wont have to kill them for having one, or thinking they have one, when they are grown."
By far, those were the most educational and informative days of my young life because what we received was a balance of learning which included academics, social skills, nutritional awareness, physical exercise as well as demonstrations and examples of roles being defined.
Children knew what they were👦 intended👧 to grow to become due to the natural order, balance, and cycle of life.
All of these tools we received in public school fit neatly into the same package that was being influenced and instilled, hopefully and generally, by our parents(guardians) and the church.
Something went wrong. And it started in the church.
When the church started following the world instead of the world following the church we started to lose control of ourselves and our children.
Today, and everyday, I am thanking God for Reverend Glover.💯
Because practically all these adverse things that are coming to past in this crazy world today, Gods man, said they would come to past. Including, but not limited to, the desperate need for home-schooling, the epidemic of gun violence, and last but not least, questionable vaccines.
Family, isn't it obvious that we need a resurgence to the days of old?
Time has proven the old ways of living, thinking and behaving were the best ways. Modernization, individual prosperity, following the crowd, being lured by the wickedness of men, and mis-education has just about destroyed all resemblance of the black soul and family❤hood we once had.
Currently, our very survival as a people is at stake if we don't change, chart a course for the "old land marks" and the "old teachings" and line -up behind The One that knows the way.

AfricansNamerikkka are demanding that justice be served and reparations' be paid for the centuries of inhumane treatment we have endured since the first slave-ship docked.
EuropeansNamerica are declaring that "we" should just get over it and "why" should the government use "their" tax dollars to fund a massive pay-off for something that "they" had nothing to do with.

And here is "most of" the reason why. At my age things seem to weigh so heavy on my heart, that it becomes difficult to start writing because I wouldn't know where to stop.
So, I don't start.
I have been told by someone close to me that my blogs are tooooooooooooo long. Interesting, informative, and entertaining, but, tooooooo long.
So, this is an attempt to write Randoms. Something I have seen my daughter, Cristen do, and do quite well in fact.
More or less Randoms are just that, random thoughts that are traveling through my mind, for one reason or another.
Comments are welcomed and appreciated.
1. I could never treat white people like they have treated us.
2. Why are my tax dollars going to other countries as foreign aid when the inner cities in this country look like a bomb has been dropped on them?
3. Why is Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, ALWAYS, one of the worst looking streets in every city in amerikkka.
4. I don't want to go back to the way things were before the pandemic.
5. I don't like the way things are currently, during, the pandemic.
6. What makes u think that someone wants to see your whole ass or your ass hole? Female or male.
7. Your children are watching you.
8. Your parents are watching you.
9. You can have a degree and no common sense.
10. Pharmaceutical companies are the biggest drug dealers.

ONE SIDED STORIES N' AMERIKKKA
(a.k.a. PROSPECTIVE)
" If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not;
how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?"
ST. LOUIS, MO - 11/26/2020. THANKSGIVING DAY OR SUPER SPREADER EVENT?
At the writing of this blog The Covid-19 pandemic is raging out of control with no relief in sight and the death toll is reaching astronomical proportions world wide.
Tt appears that the question has become not "will" you and I contract the virus, but rather "when"???
It seems to be inevitable that at some point it touches you or someone you love. Speaking of love, its being reported that individuals have a greater chance of acquiring the covid at a gathering or "super spreader event" with your family and friends. Something like a Thanksgiving Gettogether Feast or Christmas Holiday Party Ritual.......just so you know.
And for those of us that haven't been subjected to this poison we are still suffering from what has been labeled as "pandemic fatigue" according, to the World Health Organization, which estimates that half of the worlds population is effected with the illness of massive fatigue.
Quite frankly, the Covid-19 pandemic has worn us out, literally.
Some describe that the pandemic feels like it has added an additional 1000 pound weight to the cares of this life that had many of us already on the verge of homicide or suicide.
A plethora of individuals are reveling that just dealing with supervisors, co-workers, family, vendors, so-called friends, and suppliers was challenging before Covid-19, but now stress levels seem to have increased to the 10th power.
We are so distressed and oppressed that a large majority of us are considering taking a covid-19 vaccine as soon as one is made available.
Common sense should warn us that it makes no difference who is seated in the Oval Office and controls the message regarding the vaccine. The objective coming from the White House is the same and that is to market a vaccine as soon as possible because both political parties are controlled by the wealthiest and largest lobby in the country: the pharmaceutical industry.
And what the pharmaceutical giants want...the pharmaceutical giants get.
The legalization and non-criminalization of medicinal and recreational cannabis has created an upsurge in wide spread usage and consumption of the cannabis herb all across america.
The president-elect and his vice ran on a promise to make cannabis legal throughout the country while at the same time endorsing a "hurry-up development" of a covid vaccination.
Somebody is lying to the american people and here is why.
Legal cannabis has put a substantial dent in the bottom line of the major pharmaceutical drug manufacturers and their distributors. That's why at this very moment Pfizer and other mega pharmaceutical conglomerates are plotting to make enormous profits by producing a vaccine, at the governments expense, for over seven billion five hundred million black, poor, and oppressed people. A vaccination for a plague that we "#AreNotEvenSure" where it came from!!!
If the truth be told, the jury is still out, on whether or not this is some form of biological terrorism/warfare initiated by either a foreign or domestic enemy of america and america's allies.
But, one thing is for sure. And that one thing is that people are dying. But everybody is not dying.
This thing seems to effect different people in different ways. For example: some people loose their taste and smell, some infected people don't. Some have severe headaches, some don't. They say you have to have a fever, yet, many people that have tested positive don't. They claim that many people have a severe cough, yet, many people don't. Fatigue and loss of energy seems to be common symptom but for some older adults fatigue is common anyway.
Children of The Most High God we have to be conscience, cognizant, and wise enough to rely totally on the voice of the inner man/woman to order our steps and guide our minds through these difficult times. We also must have courage enough to refuse to participate in any trials and also refuse to be vaccinated by whatever covid drug is approved by the government. Realizing that God and God alone is keeping us alive.
History has proven to us that the FDA has been bought by corporate money just like the rest of Washington D.C., therefore, we must be forever mindful of the games that have played at our expense. Games like the
Tuskegee Syphilis Study/ Experiment. And government programs like the King Alfred Plan, the federal government welfare program, and countless other programs and experiments supposedly aimed at helping AfricansNamerikkka but actually promoting genicide and terrorism against us.
We must also be mindful that over 73 million people, business people, religious people, people holding white and blue collar positions, in all occupation's, and from all walks of life, voted for the POTUS to be the POTUS for four more years.
That's beyond scary considering he re-instituted the open practice of, active racism, spiritual wickedness, and hatred and endorsed bigotry as fashionable and popular in amerikkka and made division his cultural base.
Certainly, we have some difficult days ahead and we need to be conscience of the fact that our answers will not come from "powers without" they will come from" the power within".
As as I ponder the days and months to come I have to always resort to times and places in my life when it appeared that all hope was lost and I didn't know what to do.
During those times my spirit has always reminded me of one of the many teachings of my father(TG4RG) who God sent to lead poor, oppressed, underprivileged and marginalized people for 30 years, beginning in 1931 until his death in 1961.
How ironic that because of Covid-19 we are currently witnessing poverty, devastation and starvation levels not seen in this country since The Great Depression Era (1929-1939). But as always, in our most trying times, God sends a man, with a blue print to uplift fallen humanity and redirect us from a horizonal plane to a vertical plane of righteousness and oneness with God.
Still, when we consider the Great Depression Era for a minute, the His-Story of this country conjures up visions of a country bombarded and, seemingly, possessed with plagues, diseases, dust storms, prohibitions, draughts, wars, poverty, famine, targeted drug addiction, and overt and covert racism.
It was a time when black people were being hung from lamp posts in downtown East St. Louis, IL, Tulsa, OK, and other major cities in amerikkka. Yet, in the midst of all forms of madness and disease, God instructed my father to teach his followers how to get in touch with and how to stay in touch with the indwelling Spirit of God, because they were in a spiritual battle, and spiritual weaponry was/is needed to defeat the spiritual enemy.
Often, he would teach that "when u don't know what to do.....don't do nothing... just be still...humble yourself to Gods presence, stay in a repented(merciful) state of mind, and listen for the voice, and let the spirit of God guide you.....don't try to #MakeSomethingHappen.
So with that thought in mind I visited an area today where I knew -- at one point in my life -- that I was surly not going to make it through.
Today, I just needed to be reminded with a visual of one ofseveral times when I had concluded I just couldn't bare the situation I was in anymore, but the Creator of the World said, "Yes you can".
.....give me a minute........
I returned to the USPS as a full-time City Letter Carrier at the age of fifty(50) years old.
God is funny.
I had been separated from the postal service for some nineteen(19) years, partial because I had to fulfill a ten year(10) commitment with another government agency--- the Federal Bureau of Prisons. 😏
When I left the USPS I resigned my position as a Tractor-Trailer Operator(TTO/Motor Vehicle Operator/MVO). In fact, I had been trained to operate any and all vehicles in the postal service fleet.
But not this time.
This time if I wanted this good paying job I would be required to deliver mail from a pouch/sack -- on my back.
At the age of fifty this might not sound like the prudent thing to do but, "what the heck, right, how hard can walking all day be? Its good exercise, right?"
To successfully carry mail, on your back, walking all day, between 6 and 10 miles a day, with NO access to a mail truck, at the age of fifty or any other age for that matter has a lot to do with terrain, landscape, asphalt, turf, elevation, weather, volume, and perspective.
Bare with me, I'm getting there......💨
Many of you, I'm sure, have never paid much attention to the green colored mail boxes or "relay boxes" in your neighborhoods are communities. The green boxes are not for depositing mail, they are used to hold mail for a mail carrier to deliver on his route.
Hopefully/probably, these routes called "walk outs" are not in existence anymore, but they mean just what they say, you 'walk out" of your post office burdened down with 1st class mail, 2nd class mail magazine's and flats, and bundles of addressed ADVO's or advertisement mail in your pouch and in both arms.
You follow the coordinated addresses on the mail to make your deliveries and when you finished delivering all the mail in your pouch and arms you will "like magic" be within a few feet of another "green relay box" full of mail for you to load up like a pack mule and continue to delivery mail again.
This scenario plays out all day long as you travel in a complicated, upside down "U" or horseshoe pattern traveling from green mail box to green mail box until you hopefully/joyfully return to your starting point at the post office.
If you are lucky, there will be a QuikTrip or some sort of fast food restaurant or other business establishment on your route. Because, if its not, someone may/will call-in on your for using their rose bushes as a toilet.
Also, you pray it doesn't rain, because there is no room for a rain coat in you mail pouch. Additionally, you pray it doesn't start snowing, because no one is going to bring you any snow boots or gloves.
And last but not least, you pray that you don't have to deliver in a hilly part of town where you may have to climb 10-20 steps up to the house mail box and then 10-20 steps down because a fence divides you from crossing over to the next house without coming back down the steps first.
So, you could have 20-30 houses, with 10-20 steps, on one side of the street and then have the same amount of houses and steps on the other side of the street.
Keep in mind this could be for one block are upwards of 40-60 blocks or nearly your entire daily route.
I had some very, very bad days on this walk-out route.
There were days that I wanted to cry, there were days I did cry, there were days that I felt like I was going to die. More than once one of my postal customers would have to call 911 so that the The St. Charles, MO first responders could come to my aid and assistance because I was passed out on the curb due to dehydration, heat stroke, and fatigue. Don't get it twisted, I was not the first individual to be subdued by a "walk-out" route.
Countless, " postal new-hires", half my age, went running and screaming away from a city mail carrier position, in St. Charles, Mo. A position that could eventually pay an annual salary, with over-time, of over $100.000 a year. Many left after their first week, and some after their first day on a "walk-out route'. But God had given me a different prospective.
God had already orchestrated the USPS to hire an ex-federal convict. Surly, God wanted me to have this position so quitting was not an option.
Gods grace and mercy has brought me all the way. It brought me through then and I realize that if tomorrow comes it will be because of Gods grace and mercy again.
Not because of me.
So in essence I just had to learn to deal with it all, the snow, the rain, the heat, the dogs, the hills and valleys, and the customers and trust God and Gods timing, knowing that in time this "#routeFromHell... too shall pass
I said all that to say this.
We don't have a clue concerning what tomorrow may bring in regards to this Covid-19 pandemic, violence, poverty, homelessness, or any other wickedness that is running rampant in the earth, and especially in amerikkka, but one thing is for sure.
The Creator of the World does.
And he did nor give us the spirit of fear. What we must do is get all the way wrapped up inside the inner/spiritual man/woman so we can stop stressing over the things that are happening outwardly.
If you are connected to the spiritual current of God there is a calmness over on the inside that transcends all outer thoughts and understanding.
There is a peace with-in that carries you through your daily affairs' and no matter what comes or goes your destiny is assured because yo have given your life "back" to the spirit of God that knew you when you were still connected to it in your mothers womb. The same Spirit of God that made us in Gods image that we were connected to before we took on a body of flesh for our spirit to dwell in.
Our day-to-day survival is mandating that we must strive to live from the inside-out as opposed to the outside-in. Because, surly, everything on the outside is killing us.
We have to strive to live this life moment-by-moment taking no regard or thought about what we perceive is going to happen next year, next month, next week, or even tomorrow.
If we stay rooted and grounded in the spiritually current to the Creator of the World that has brought us this far we can be assured that our outcome will be exactly what it was intended to be before we first cried into this world. If we stay connected we wont be caught off-guard or by surprise. In fact we #KaintLoose
