September 21 After the StormLast week we were hit with an unexpected windstorm. It was the back winds from Hurricane Ike. Winds gusted up to 75 MPH during the afternoon hours.
It was a frightening experience. We are a river city and the idea of hurricane force winds here was alien.
I realized that we were in trouble around 2 o'clock. That is when the trees outside of my home were being battered by the winds. I kept hearing emergency sirens and different cracking sounds. Which turned out to be tree limbs or the entire tree falling to the ground.
Then our electricity went off. For the next three days it was a challenge for everyone who was affected by the power outage.
Some people are still waiting for their electric to be restored.
I do not know how people can ride a hurricane out. We never had any rainfall during the storm. I cannot imagine what that would of been like. But I hope and pray that we never experience anything like that again! July 20 ESSENCE.com Black In America: A Special ReportCNN is going to air a broadcast special titled: Black In America. One of the links that have been provided is Essence Magazine. This article features a story about children being arrested. One child was six years old when she was taken to jail for being a disruptive student in her kindergarten classroom. Her mother is suing the school and the police. I know that there are young children who can really tear up a classroom when they are out of control. However, calling the police was too extreme. The fact that the school administrators felt this was the best way to resolve the problem~indicates there is a problem.
July 17 Walking In Ordered StepsOrdered steps are ones made in the confidence of faith.
There is no doubt that wherever you end up on the journey~it is the right place for you to be.
I can bear witness to this truth in my own life. Just trusting and believing that in the end~it will work out and be alright!
This is my daily desire in life. To step out on faith and be lead by the Holy Spirit to the place that God desires for me to be.
July 13 There is Peace in the ValleyPeace.
That sense of well being that fills our spirits.
Peace.
That balance that comes during trying times and remains
when that moment has ended.
The birds are singing praises. Even though it is that dark hour before the dawn. They are thankful to be alive. Willing to use their gifts to bless the earth once again.
I cannot help but to wonder, would I be willing to use my gifts? Would I be willing to be blessing ~even in the darkest moments of time?
Would I be willing to give up praise without hesistation or thought about what lies ahead on this day?
Can I shine my love light and let it project joy?
I hope so.

I am sitting here sipping on a cup of ginger root tea with honey and lime.
That is the craving that I had while I was pulling weeds in my garden.
Fortunately the taste that I had in my thoughts was available to be prepared at home.
Now I am sitting here listening to Baby Brother's Blues by Pearle Cleage.
A story that I have already read before. But one I like well enough to revisit.
I am in the process of a physical cleaning. When I finish drinking my tea it will be time to get up and start in the front room and work my way to completion.
I'm giong to do a four corner cleansing. That includes walls, woodwork and furniture. While I listen to the book on disc. With music in between to break up things.
Earlier today I went out into my garden to check on my plants and to pulll weeds. One of my tomato plants has produced fruit. My peppers are doing fairly well. Flowering and spawning babies. My collards are looking good too.
There has been a heavy amount of rainfuall during this past week. It is muddy as heck in my plot. But there is nothing that I can do about that except to wait until the ground dries. Then I can finish my removal.
