Friday

As much as I love you my dear Friday, your visits are coming way too fast and not because I don't appreciate them, it's that you leave before I'm ready for you to go. I'd like to hold on to you longer and slow the weekend down for more pleasure.
Anyhow, there's been a lot of crazy activity going on lately that is difficult to understand. Is everyone going nuts? What happened to sensitivity, love, caring about your fellow man? It may sound a bit cliche' but why can't we just get along?
I'm sure God is frowning at his creations who He made equally, fighting and thinking one is better than the other. I pray this awakening has some positive effects and white people realize that the black person they thought they knew so well has suffered bias and prejudice that they never spoke about. Hurrah for the long needed conversation. I absolutely abhor violence but the conversation and change is long overdue.
Thanks to President Trump for making Juneteenth a household word. Let's be honest black people, many of us never heard or celebrated it until his rally was scheduled on that date. We as a people are also learning some black history and that is a good thing.
May we never forget to give God the glory for giving us life and love and respect for everybody as well as their opinions. Love each other in spite of their differing views. Freedom was fought for and died for so let us experience that freedom by allowing those differences.
Until later...

Friday

its here, I'm here, you're here, let's celebrate Friday!

Friday

We meet again dear Friday and you're a pleasant part of my very busy week. It seems busier than it was simply because of the events that put such a mental strain on my brain thinking of how someone could treat another human being like an animal...no, not an animal, an animal would've been treated a whole lot better. Condolences to the Floyd family!

It is now time to put a stop to the protest and allow some of the unrest to cease. At this point it doesn't matter whether it's peaceful or not because evil has latched itself onto the cause and making the devoted peaceful protesters look bad. Cops are being killed and injured who have nothing to do with the death of George Floyd, people are being hurt, businesses being burned and robbed. This has to STOP! I pray every person who calls on the name of Jesus will pray for this situation and not believe this is OK, it's not ok. Ungodly behavior brings ungodly results.

It's time to have some Friday magic...put a happy spell on me Friday!
Until next time...

FRIDAY

This week has been quite a mind full! All the hate and criticisms on every side. Can't we Christians at least be on the same page, and that would be Jesus Christ and our love for mankind? Time is short and we don't have a lot of time for getting on board with the ranting and raving with the name game and the blame game, that's not our thing. I'm tempted to do the same when my flesh tries to outweigh my spirit, but what will it profit me in the long run? Only a momentary burst that fades away until reality hits and you've said things you regret or started a feud with people you love, defending or hating someone you don't even know.
Know that we are children of the most high, not Democrats or Republicans. Don't label yourselves by how you feel led to vote. But always allow others the freedom to have a choice in every area of life just as Christ offered you a choice of life or death, good over evil.
Remember child of God, we fight best on our knees!
Until next time...

Again I am totally agitated and hurt that a person could Have so much hatred towards black people that she could fabricate this lie about being intimidated by a black man knowing the result could be fatal to him. Using a phone call to the police department to fuel this situation shows that we have made white people feel that all they need to do is tell the cops and that will bring a black man to his knees simply because it is happening way too often. It seems white people dont need a gun or knife, just a phone call to the police so they can watch the takedown without any blood on their hands.
When this happened in Central Park where so many blacks and other people of color sometime think that racism is just in the South, it reminds us that it is alive and well everywhere.
The apology from this woman was so contrived, it's ridiculous because she knew just what she was doing and the response she intended to get but Mr Cooper was so nice and gentlemanly, he videotaped her approaching him and lying out loud and in color. It hurts to think this could've been another racist attack by the police if they had listened to this white woman.

Racism

My heart is saddened this morning yet again. I stayed away from the news except for COVID19 news which comes at you at every angle even when avoiding regular news. However, I had not seen or knew about Mr Floyd who was killed by policemen with nothing better to do than take out their frustrations on a black man who begged to be let up because he couldn't breathe. How much force does it take for several police to arrest or detain a criminal. I watched some footage just a minute ago and Mr Floyd was not doing anything to warrant this unkind and brutal treatment. 

What's happening America? Don't we have enough going on that we don't need to carry out torture on another individual? We're fighting a pandemic yet our black brothers are not only getting killed in jail but on the so called safe streets of freedom. This has gone too far and the average black male is not feeling safe which makes him a little more defensive wondering if he's about to be beat or killed.

This has to STOP! Our men are important to us as black women so we must pray for them as well as ourselves, this affects us all.

Friday

Today I woke up so grateful to be present and healthy in this world while there are those who are suffering from the virus as well as other illnesses whether mental or physical. In this crazy mixed up world I know I'm truly blessed and knowing it means we should count them one by one and give our creator honor and thanks for making it happen.
I must admit the reason for posting a little late is that I was very sleepy, got up with my daughter a few times during the early morning hours and it was difficult to fall back asleep each time. But it's Friday and time for Friday fun so take off that doom and gloom and get it moving. Lots to do today!
Let's shake off that COVID15 lbs and eat less of that Memorial Day weekend food. It's tempting to go all out crazy after being cooped up but we are planning to not go overboard. So go have fun, swim, ride a bike, or take a walk, it's up to you. It is GREAT to have choices.
Until next time...
