My year consisted of ups and downs from the past 9 years until now. Good Morning Everyone!! How are all of you doing today? I hope and pray that everyone is doing fine. I would like to inform all of you that my year consisted of ups and downs. The reason why is because I lost my sister and my mother within 48 days. My sister died on June 2, 2017. My mother died on July 20, 2017. During the first half of the year, I was working at Walgreens Pharmacy in Dayton, Ohio. The job was not too bad. I ended up getting fired because of a disability. I ended up getting fired on July 9, 2017. I had laryngitis as well as an infection inside of my throat. I also had a lot of other issues that I was dealing with that I had expressed it on my Facebook Page. I want to inform all of you that I have been listening to music such as Steely Dan, Isley Brothers, The Jones Girls, and Zro. I want to inform all of...

If you had to sum up your life philosophy in one sentence, what would it be? Honestly, I would like to mention at least two or three sentences, especially when it comes to my life philosophy right now. 1 . God is doing for me more than I am doing for myself. The reason why is because he really is doing for me because God and Jesus Christ are picking up the slack. I do not like to say this out of arrogance, but I know that if it wasn't for God in my life right now, I really wouldn't exist today. It is God who is giving me life each day, and I am truly grateful 🙏. 2. The Lord will provide. This is true because whenever I do not have anything; God and Jesus Christ are giving me exactly what I truly deserve. I know that I can not tell God and Jesus Christ what to do, but I know for myself that He continues to help me. 3. God knows the things that we need long before I can ask Him. For God kno...
You are absolutely right about everyone moving out of Dayton Ohio. My family members are moving out of here as we speak. My cousin moved out of here last month; according to the family. She moved out of Dayton Ohio for personal reasons. I have continue to live here until 2029 and I am out of here myself. Next, I want you to know that I have been clean and sober for 36 years now. I am working on the 12 steps of recovery for the rest of my life. I do have over 50 pages of homework to turn in by Monday of next week. Frankly I really have to avoid taking too much psychotropic medications and blood pressure medication because it is hindering my progress. Moreover, I want to inform you that AA has saved my life in so many ways that I cannot count how many times I have been restored back to sanity. According to Step 2 in AA it is when we are in contact with God or a power that is greater than ourselves that restore or return us back to sanity....
Steps ordered by God Is it true that our steps are ordered by God? This is a very good question. The reason why I am asking this question is simply because I am curious. The following Bible verses will be discussed: Jeremiah 10:23, Proverbs 20:24, Job 34:21, and Job 31:4. First, I would like to emphasize that God does order our steps. According to Jeremiah 10:23 says O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. This means that it is a Power that is greater than ourselves that is actually helping us. Second, in the Book of Proverbs in the 20th Chapter and the 24th verse which states that man’s goings are of the Lord, how can a man understand his own way? This Bible verse is a little bit different. A man’s goings are the steps that are ordered by God. How can a man understand his own way? This is a very good question....
What is one thing you own that holds deep sentimental value? Honestly, I want to inform everyone that my Bible and my college and high school diplomas are the three things that have sentimental value to me. I also want everyone to know that my baptism certificate from Fort McKinley United Methodist Church in Dayton Ohio as well as my high school yearbook from Paul Laurence Dunbar High School located in Dayton Ohio class of 1 9 8 6 have sentimental value to me as well. These are the things that have sentimental value to me, and this includes my human body and have sentimental value for me.
What is the worst travel experience you have ever had? Honestly, I got lost in New York City back in 1994. I was traveling with someone and I was looking at a map on how to get to Brooklyn New York and I got lost in Manhattan because we were supposed to take the Verazonta l Bridge off of Interstate 95 and we got on the wrong bridge. I had t o rethink how we got there in the first place. Therefore, I had to go back to where we came from because we got on the Tribourough Bridge. We took the Manhattan Bridge all the way through town and took Flatbush Avenue all the way to Brooklyn and we got off on East 95th Street to A Avenue and it took us an extra 30 minutes to get to our Brooklyn New York destination. We had traveled from Toledo, Ohio, to Brooklyn New York in 13 and a half hours . It is 695 miles from Toledo Ohio to Brooklyn New York. Otherwise we were in Brooklyn New York for 5 days. The Lord God was...
The Sinner’s Prayer and What it means to me!! This is an essay about the Sinner’s Prayer and what does it means to me personally. First, I want to say that I am a Born Again Christian. I am a 11 year old Christian. I am a person who has a lot of intuition. I also have spiritual discernment. What does this means to me? I would like to say that I am asking God to forgive me of all of my sins. I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He died for my sins at calvery. I ask Him to enter my heart right now. I confess and forsake all of my sins. I do not go back to doing the same things that I have done in the past. I ask Jesus Christ to become my Personal Savior. I am a brand new person. Next, I want to say that I am a new creature right now. The old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new. This is 2nd Corinthia...
What is one piece of travel advice you always follow? Never travel alone and always travel with a Bible with you. At least God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit will always be with you. Frankly, I always pray and ask God and Jesus Christ to please be with me while I am traveling anywhere on Planet Earth .
I am having a Great Day Today!!! At least I am clean and sober and I am blessed by God!!! I will admit that I have been admitted to the hospital twice within a week. I am suffering from Heart Failure and Diabetes Type #2 and Schizoaffective Disorder as well as Extreme Fatigue right now. I have been telling these ........ Doctors that I have gained 90 pounds this year because of taking psychotropic medications 💊. My Healthcare Providers are literally telling me and these....... Doctors that I have been prescribed too many psychotropic medications and too many blood pressure medications simultaneously. I am suffering from Heart Failure so bad that I cannot walk beyond 3 city street blocks anymore. These ..... Doctors are not listening to a Probate Court Judge and all of my Healthcare Providers each day. Frankly this is considered as Medical Malpractice when a person is taking more than 25 prescription med...
Do you set personal goals for yourself? Absolutely! Each day of the week, whenever I wake up, that is a persona l goal that is set by both God and Jesus Christ because they have a plan for me today. Jeremiah 29:11 says: I know the plans that I have for you say the Lord God plans for you to prosper and plans for the truth. I know that I might not have gotten this Bible verse right, but Jeremiah is writing down exactly what God is saying throughout the Book of Jeremiah because God is talking for him . Yes, each p erson who is living inside of Planet Earth has goals and a plan for today. However, God will have to decide for himself whether or not you are worthy of His divine plan for you. This means that God has to decide for himself whether to wake you up or not. Psalms 139:16 have a lot to do with this as well. This is simply because God already knows exactly how long you are going to live in advance 🙏 🙌. Remember, God...
This is a very nice blog. At least I literally understand what this blog and Bible verse is talking about because I went through this experience for 24 consecutive years when it comes to dealing with lewd women. I just understand that Jesus told His 12 Disciples to Watch and Pray and Be Not Lead unto Temptation because the Spirit is Willing, but the Flesh is Weak. I went through this because I had allowed the Weaker Sex which is Woman to lure me into Temptation simply because they had something that I wanted and I had something that they wanted which was money or drugs because I was involved in active addiction from 1972 through 1990. Therefore, I have been clean and sober for 36 consecutive years now. I also have learned a valuable lesson simply because I got scammed out of $16,977 Dollars in Western Union Funds and another $1,550 Dollars in money by foreign women who had promised to marry me as soon as they arrived in...
