Our father which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come
thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven,
give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors
and lead us not into tempataion ,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power and the glory
for ever
AMEN...
Matt 6: 9-13
I thought today I start my blog a little different. I was very overwhelmed last night when I heard over the news that a favorite singer of mine had past. I teared up a little. I had hoped that she would have found peace eventually and had gotten herself freed from the demons that drugs cause you . Whether prescriptioned drugs or street drugs. It all is the same to me.Whitney Houston is the singer I am referring to in case you did not hear the news. I am not speculating that drugs were a factor. It could have been a whole bunch of things but, this is what had brought such an iconic diva with the voice of an angel downhill. She was criticize and an easy target for mockery for her very well known disturbing behaviour. I can not even begin to understand how her family could be coping with this news right now. I just pray that their faith is strong enough to help them through this. It has sadden me because there are such few good singers left. If you had not her Whitney at her prime time click on the link below. It will take you to her singing the National Anthem. It was in 1991 at the prime of her career. This was the singer that I will remeber as one of the greatest voices of all time. Rest in Peace truly.......
As I was looking at what this month was chosen to signify, I realized that it was not about Valentine's Day but, for my son to remeber his heritage.It is black history month. I am not an african-american. My husband is. So it is a little difficult at times to try to teach my son about what his race had to go through in life just to get him here to a place in time where he has so much opportunities. All the doors that have been opened for him because of the struggles. So I make it my business to educate myself all the time because unfortunately in school they only summarize one small month, what has taken years to accomplish. My family has always loved music and I must say all we ever played in my home was american music. Although I was born here in the United States, my parent are hispanic. I hardly ever play spanish music and hardly speak spanish. A big boo-boo of mine. My children would have benefit a lot from learning. I just never wanted to confuse them. It is hard enough to learn the things that are taught today. With all the new technology . I did not want to burden them. Now they have to learn it in school. Being that said we all grew up with gospel and rand B . Also at the beginning of the 90's late 80's some hip-hop. Not that crap these kids have to listen to today. Not many choices available made to them today.I don't want to offend the musicians that we have today or even the listeners but, let's speak the truth...
On the beginning of the month , we lost Don Cornelius( mind my spelling plssss.)
A man that change television....Then looking back at just last year, I notice all the musicians that we had lost as well,
Here is Nick Ashford from Ashford and Simpson,
Here is Heavy D... This was one of my favorite rappers when I was younger..
An unforgettable songstress...Ms. Etta JamesThen I notice we also lost Clarence clemmons
For those who do not know who this saxophonist was, he played along side Bruce Springsteen....
I had taken notice how much musicians were lost last year and then I notice we lost Joe Frazier.
A boxing legend.. Wow
It was a bit much for me to go through. I just pray real hard that the people that have made such an impact in who we are today do not become forgotten... All these people had a purpose and they accomplished it... May God Bless their souls......
To take you off track here I read this in the magazine Black Enterprise...
The article talk about Women who behave like they are wealthy....
It asked to check to see if I was one of them.. I took the quick test... Lucky I did not pass...
It states...
Your purse costs $500, your smartphone costs $350, your wallet costs $200, your cosmetics cost $250...
You have more than a $1000 dollars on things you have purchased.. Your bag, smartphone, wallet and cosmetics but how much do you have in the bank?????
See the seven signs that tell you if you're a woman behaving wealthy or on your way to constantly broke at
Good luck...
Thank you for taking the time to spend with me...
May God Bless you and keep you...
