MY ROSE!!!


Elijah decided to take a break from his accounting work and headed over to a local sandwich shop. While eating his meal, he overheard two gentlemen speaking, one bearded man with a beer belly, sarcastically said, as he reads the front of a young woman's t-shirt,: "Virgin, Special Life!" , " Yeah right, she's like in her early 20' s... The next man across with a proud voice responded: " If that was my girl, she wouldn't be a virgin for long!... So both men laughed & continued eating!
Elijah, who was beside himself, was disgusted with their comments because he himself was a virgin at 22 yrs. old and still waiting for his bride!
After steering at his hot Steamy, Philly Cheese Steak, doused in his favorite Huava Guava BoomSauce, he pondered, how he would express his love to his future bride. So Elijah streams the internet on his smartphone and examines several devotional letters, but after just a few, he was discouraged and rushed to finish his meal then returned to work!

Later that evening, while looking over his Condo's balcony, he watched an elderly woman in her garden speaking to her roses, while trimming them. And then he saw, one rose separated from another, it wasn't red or purple but more like a vibrant fuchsia and stood strong & elegant. Suddenly Elijah jumps off his chair & boots up his laptop & profusely begins to type as inspiration takes hold. The letterhead started with a poem, "My Rose!" And read!

I picked you out of the garden among many like you, some even, some taller and some shorter, but you caught my eye! Your aroma reminded me of a flavor I once loved as a child! I would love to take you home & plant you in your own nourishing soil surrounded by sunlight, warmth, and comfort!
I would clean your stem day after day, but never touch your thorns because a mother's instinct is to protect her young.
I would remove all your damaged pedals & broken leaflets because failure & imperfection, doesn't fit you!
I would continuously encourage you to grow and expand your borders.
I would comfort your peduncles when you're in pain & caress your bracts when your past brings tears!
When you are sad or in mourning, I would remember never to over shower you and always listen to your concerns.
I would always defend you when flies and insects attack your sepals & buds and always respect your point of view with understanding & love!
I would treat you so special, no other garden would be attractive or captivating enough to compete with my affection, for I would tell you how much I adore you, day in and day out, with endless terms of endearment to soothe you as you go to sleep!
So sweet heart! …Would you be my Rose?

POWERFUL & EFFECTIVE PRAYERS

When Christ's spirit (Holy Spirit) opens the eyes of a person, he is given full ability to communicate without limits, fear of failure. By his grace, we are able to draw in close, intimately & personally in order to have a great relationship increasing & worthy of a reasonable response.  Prayer is God's spiritual link for all mankind to have access to heavenly powers but only by obedience and believing in the power of his word, can a person's prayer have unlimited potential. When obedience and faith meet, it's the foundation for a miracle. The bible demonstrates endless miracles led by prayers seen & seen. None of the following could have happened without prayer: Noah at the great flood, Abraham's seed brought forth nations, Joseph's triumphs over trials & tribulations, Moses exodus of Israelites from Egypt and parting of the Red Sea, Gideon, a mighty warrior with 300 men defeated hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield.

NO LOVE!!!

The freedoms we have in America are still the greatest reason why this country is so great! And the ability to change for improvement to enlighten the face of this country is amazing! I heard many opinions about the recent shootings in America and all are valid because it’s from each person’s perspective, so let me share mine. If a person has never been racially profiled, discriminated against or called the “N” word then that person can’t know the fears and humiliation that follows these actions of hate, he/she can’t have the right perspective, the same if a person has never lived in the ghetto or projects or experienced a major crime against him/her.  I grow up with all of this surrounding me and I can tell you the rules are very different than most. If you didn’t dress the part you were rejected, if you didn’t stand up for yours or knew the right people, you were weak and constantly bullied. The law enforcement was the enemy, neighborhoods looked out for each other and snitches we

MOTHER'S DAY !!!

Let me tell you why mothers are so loved. They suffered so just to bring a life into this world and they sacrificed themselves for the benefit of their children through hours of labor pains with no end. Their sleepless nights, endless breastfeeding (most) continuous changing of pampers (or wrapped cloth) continuous burping & sleep monitoring, staying on top of doctor appointments & safety practices and let's not forget, the fears of inexperience & mothers questioning themselves... Did I do this right or that right? How much or how little? ... Where is mom or grandma when I need her? Fighting the urge of returning the child like a bad hair product...just kidding! We mostly appreciate a mother's for dealing with the mistakes of their children from accidents to possible jail time, all the motivation and persistence to make sure her children finish school, And last, the disciplines to make sure her children stay focused. Well on behalf of many, we appreciate moms eve
