Just letting folk know I have been real tied up and busy lately getting some things done that I really need to get done. More on that later.
I try to answer every email and return GBook signs, Blog Responses, Various Blogs(Many will ask me to comment and they know I am going to be straight up...) etc.
Quite a few people ask myself as well as many others.
I encourage people to socialize, network and sign other GBooks, Blog, Blog Respond etc. Leading by example.
I am very proud of those who have started other gropus like those Spiritual networks. Many people need that and I hope to see many blog more and take things further than I can. I won't always be able to be a regular and each generation is supposed to exceed the previous generation. I am intimidated by no one. "God" made as all awesomely and wonderfully and uniquely made. No one can ever do what I am supposed to do past, present or future, no one can do what YOU can do past, present or future.
"It's NEVER about competition for me.
There are those on my friendship list that we may not have agreed on everything but we are cool. I respect that. I do not respect that behind the back coward stuff.
By the way ladies there are some awesome Brutha's on my friendship list as well as in GBook signs. DSome may think a few Brutha's are thugs but they are Kings finding their own ways through the many wrongs of society.
Every lady on my friendship list are Beautiful. Nothing wrong with chivalry and giving credit where it is due. Proverbs 3:27-28.
Every now and then what I call an asinine comment(It's in the dictionary) will come. Many know but to answer the 1 or 2 what Proverbs talks about are simpleminded, foolish etc; I'm trying not to use the word stupid. Just being real as Steve Harvey's new movie I think it's called "God Ain't Through With Me Yet". I tell anyone I use to curse soo much that when my Cousin Rod my Minister planted that seed and asked me "Do You really have to say all that to say what You want to say?". I would curse and get mad at myself and say "God" forgive me. From not believing in profanity but growing up with it in which the military confounded my beliefs(long story), when I started working on my mouth, I would stutter. I was not used to using nouns, pronouns, verbs etc. I cursed just that much. I have alluded to this in past blogs about females not being chivalrous and the way they cursed, hey I fit in and got better responses... That would be another blog.
Ike, You called me on the vblog in what I wrote about chivalry. Always stand Your ground bro., yes there has to be standards set by self for I am the one hurting myself. I say You are a preacher and we are the M.L.K.(You are that one, Lol!) and the Malcolm(I call it as I knew it) in foster home relations. We are brothers in a way You know. You came from Your side and were Blessed with Your experiences. I crossed over by choice after I came home to get married at 19 years ago while in the military. To make a long story short, I borrowed a thousand dollars from the credit Union to fly home and marry her. She had hickeys on her neck when I got there. So I made a decision after being honorable. I always liken it like the Star Wars Prequels in referewnce to Darth Vader. God I love scifi movies. Anyway, he was good and still had good in him, but pain and his time and circumstances drove him. You know Jepthah did that and David joined the Phillistines(May not have spelled that right, it is still morning to me). God was still there all the time. Vader woke up years later and perhaps I have awakened in time to do the many things I was always meant to do.
I have been under a lot of pressure as I have blasted the 1st chapter of my book out there posting it at my temp website for the 1st time.
I was encouraged by a guy named gene who is on crack and sang with my Father years ago. He always talks to me.
I was coming from the Library and it was like all of a sudden he came to his senses. he stated William You have a Gift and we "street folk" need You to speak for us. Also You have the Gift of music that Your Daddy did. He told me to do what I am meant to do and what has been on my mind.
I do not hate my family, can You imagine what will come from the same that placed me in that Josephs Pit? I sent emails out to certain gossips last Thur night. It took me that long from his comments to do it.
I have been reading and just completed the reading of the Odyssey by Homer. It is like I was led to read the book. If You read about Odysseus and his son Telamokos it is as if I am reading my life story and I see it as the lost boy and the lost man finally meeting in the middle to return home, get the Queen back and live happily ever after. A force had to intervene to stop the war...
I have always stated it is not easy doing what I do, I put my life out there and heart for whatever comes up against or is for, with and in me...
When I am scorned etc... Few don't realize that many have been done the same way thus more people relate...
I write what many write me about, the issues...
Anyway, that is some of what I have dealt with this week. I tell my story and the billions of others out there that far exceed the numbers in Churches. The streets are loaded with them You know. This is why I say I understand and relate to Tupac(I know the words) and 50 cents. I was them at their ages. They are not huge either, average height, 50 cents has an athletic build. They don't look for the fights of various forms but they sure respond to them...
Same as Odysseus. And something is always with them. Tupac wanted to die before 25. I hate that, I wanted to see what he would become. I did not want to die but I sure placed my life in uncertain hands many times...
Anyway...
Many people but not all ask me to sin their GBooks from emails here to my email off this site. I would be stupid to sign a GBook, hey I am signing Your GBook as You asked me to :-)
While I sign GBooks, I sign others as well.
Few people take advantage of that but You know, I have to be me and run no longer as I did from what I am supposed to do.
I try to be fair and answer every email fully and attentively, its the right thing to do.
I have received requests to call people, I have not caught up with all and moral integrity won't let me call some because they are not legal adults. I have talked about standards in a blog and how I dealt with kids in Juvenile Justice.
LIke the sistah that wanted to die and we talked several times. I threw a hint to this website and others that this has been a God send for many.
I do not want to answer any email in haste so just know I will be getting with You.
But I would call a highschool student if they implied suicide. I dealt with that one time on a guy that set himself on fire in his mothers back yard that lived four houses down from me and I didnt know it. I would pass by his house walking my dog and see the burned grass marks and tennis shoes... This was one of the events in my life that has led me to do what I must do.
A moral call on my part, being straight up, I would call a highschool student then.
Think about the Pharasees who tried to destroy Jesus for helping people and He asked them, "But you would get Your own animal out of a hole on a Sabbath Day?".
Selfish people that spend 24/7 on computers to seek one out, but hey ask me what I do? I have 2 elderly ladies that I promised to help out, I did not want to get up because its that cloudy rainy weather that I love....
I have to go now. I am not on the pc on Sundays except one time when a overwhelming feeling came over me to check the website.
Just think about that, signing a lot of GBooks, kind of leaves one open if one were trying to play around... When In played around I kept my biz to myself.
I heard T.D. Jakes say that some people go to Church to receive encouragement. Some go to Encourage. I go to encourage. I am exhorter, this is what I am.
Some have told me to walk lightly. Well I have on size twelve shoes, I can't walk lightly anywhere. When I interned at the State dept. of Insurance in Tally while at FAMU, Ms. Elise wrote me a letter of recommendation for LawSchool and stated I may not be the tallest in the world but my character stands head and shoulders above many in the same room. I have always remembered those words. I am about 5'2 and I remember my GrandFather on my mothers side how he was maybe 5'2(Married to a woman much taller) and he spoke volumes with just his presence. Anyway...
Peace
*Jesus was called beelzebub by those who are Beelzebub* My face, place of living and everything is on here.
I can say so much more, but those that are for me know the man that I am. For those who don't well...
Perfectionist never see themselves, to dark and nasty like the white washed tombs Jesus talked about...
Oh, Yes I will be attending the next HBCU Cruise.
I hope they are playing Rappers Delight (Hip Hop the Hibby the Hibby the Hip Hip Hop You don't stop the rockn to the bang bang boogy say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogy to be), see I'm still hop(Ooopes I mean hip Yall), yall They still do the robot and the wave and the pop??? )-: They don't????? Lol
There are some awesome Men and Women of "God" here that are true brothers and Sisters. I am Blessed to meet them all.
William :-) "Luv"
