I just thought I'd check in since it's obviously been quite some time since my last blog, which proves that life goes on with or without us.
A certain amount of sadness comes over me whenever I start to write, thoughts of mom and living life without her phone calls to me or mine to her leave a void in my heart which indicates to me I MUST keep writing if I'm to survive this ordeal and get better. The more I vent the stronger I become. "Hats off to writing your way through the pain"(another Lindaism)
Fall finally fell on Ocala and it feels good. The wind is blowing, Fall decorations are all.about us,smells are changing from sweaty to sweety...I so love this time of year. For a while I thought the seasons had dementia, instead they were just being held up by the incredibly hot temperature we were forced to endure.All is well and God remains on the throne so until next time...

Mom
Since my last post, my mom slipped away but not without a battle. She fought so hard and I continued to believe she would wake up and laugh at the devil and tell him, "not yet buddy", but she got tired and weak and her body let her down. It wouldn't hold up its end of the bargain, and I know she wanted to stay a while longer with us. This fragile, aging tent we live in lasts but so long and under dire circumstances, it just falls apart. Her tent dwelling came apart piece by piece as we stood watch, praying and loving on her.
The moans and groans of pain of which we have no concept were uttered from her ailing body wanting to be left alone. Of course a patient has to be kept clean and dry as much as possible, it made the pain no less excrutiating for mom. Everytime she was touched or moved became a nightmare. I wanted to alleviate this torture but had no way to do it, so I helplessly watched and prayed for relief and healing for her.
Yes, there's consolation knowing that she's in Heaven, but my selfishness wants her here to fill this aching void.

FRIDAYS
Wow! I have had some very long and tiring Fridays the last few weeks. My mom has been in the hospital for 3 weeks now and got worse as the days went by due to negligence on the part of "the hospital". I tell you everyone who has license to practice medicine is not on the same level...too many non caring people on staff at these facilities and we're at their mercies...not good. Knowing Jesus...good thing because ultimately it's all you got.
Grab hold to your faith and don't let go.

PRAYER
Our prayer life needs to be very strong, add a large dose of Faith to whatever you ask of the Father to help season that prayer and the things that you ask will come.
I believe that it's not how long you pray or how hard you pray but how much Faith you have is the important ingredient so as the Word says "When you ask, believe that you receive and you will have what you ask in Jesus name.
So, let's put our Faith together and believe!!!

Time Flies
The term "time flies" is often referred to having fun but I'm watching time fly even when there's no fun happening at all.The fact that time has picked up speed is an indication of the times in which we live in. Technology has changed our world and our life and the way we live it. Time saving is all the buzz but I sometime get less done with all the extra help I'm supposed to have.
Let's be honest, you get on Facebook at 9:pm and what time do you get off? You check your emails and get side-tracked by other downloads and find yourself several hours later hungry because you haven't cooked, no clean clothes because you forgot to do laundry, and what about that book you started over a month ago? It's like the more we have to play with, the less we have time for reality and the things we still have to do to maintain our lives.
Seems to me technology has a lot of cons as well as pros, huh?

Names
What's in a name? Well, I was told that names are very important because they label the person at birth and it can have some adverse effects on the life of that person. Many people are not aware of the fact that labels can limit or progress your future.
At birth, some parents seem to find joy in naming their child something difficult to pronounce or even spell or a name that has a negative meaning. I recently saw in the newspaper a young man with the middle name"Latanya". Seems to be a little "girly" to me...what do you think? Just because mom and dad love a name, thought they were having a girl but had a boy instead is NO reason to stick with the name you had picked out. PLEASE people, think before labeling your child for disaster. Do a little research and save your kid the embarrassment of being picked at or hating you for naming them something awful.Of course there are those who make up stuff and there is NO meaning, just a jumble of letters put together and can only be pronounced by the parents.
STOP THE MADNESS!!! Use real names!

FRIDAY
I'm singing 'the HAPPY song", you guessed it...it's Friday.My favorite time of the week, hoping it will stay longer this time. It's a day in training...soon it will know how to last and make my weekend longer or maybe I should just plan better.
Tomorrow I plan to go shopping for a possible Easter outfit---haven't done that in forever and think it's time to look good again, after all I'm on the market. lol. I may check out the Library of Congress display, it sounds interesting to a scholar such as myself. Then I'd like to pop some popcorn, relax and watch a movie until my prayer time at 8:30pm.
I plan to stretch my weekend till it pops.
Forgot to edit and post on Friday, now it's almost over, time to go to bed and start all over again...wishing for my sweet FRIDAY again.

Friday
You guessed it, it's Friday and I AM BACK!
I'm just excited about life how God operates in my life. All things work together for my good because I love Him and I'm called according to His purpose (Rom 8:28).
Planning my weekend is usually simple because I find by Friday I'm a bit exhausted from the week and really DON'T want to do anything that requires putting on makeup or doing a wardrobe search for clothes that might fit me. (Yawn) I'm getting a bit tired just thinking about it. So I'd like to think "rest", "relaxation", and "snacks" would make my weekend better.
However I decide to spend this weekend, it won't be at the JOB. I'll be Home Sweet Home unless I decide to do differently. At least it's MY choice. Right?
Need me some R&R.

Corporal Punishment
LAKEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The mother of an 8-year-old boy pepper-sprayed by suburban Denver police as he threw a violent tantrum at his elementary school said Wednesday that she wishes authorities had chosen to talk him down instead.
Police in Lakewood say they pepper-sprayed 8-year-old Aidan Elliott twice Feb. 22 at Glennon Heights Elementary School after he refused to drop a piece of wooden wall trim that he was trying to stab them with.
"I wanted to make something sharp, like if they came out, 'cause i was so mad at them," the boy said on NBC's "Today" show. "I was going to try to whack them with it."

What do you think of that? This little kid could really do some damage with a sharp instrument, why not protect yourselves? I know I would. With all the craziness in our world today, does it matter if you're stabbed by a kid or an adult-- you're still stabbed. I feel for this mom because I am a mom and it's hard to see your own kid as a potential murderer or felon, but be very clear, every murderer is someone's kid.
I believe in the "old school" way of discipline, a little whack to keep 'em straight or let them know you mean business. So much authority has been taken away from the teachers/parents that respect is minimal and the kids don't fear the consequences of their actions. What do you think???

Friday (failed)
I failed to post last Friday for reasons I fail to remember but this Friday I will return with a vengeance.
Life is happening faster than I can keep track of so live life to the full and get the most out of it is my advice. Get the most out of each day by putting the most into each day!

Death and Dying
After the weekend passed and yet another death, I felt overwhelmingly drawn to start writing about this subject. Perhaps because of so many deaths of people I know well passing away within a short period of time. Maybe it's somehow related to age and I'm older now with adult kids...the cycle of life sorta thing. What gives? This time it was a schoolmate of mine...too much.
I don't wanna grow up, I wanna stay young, let someone take care of me for a change. In a perfect world, huh? People are leaving here before they reach the age of retirement while others are living way beyond what's expected.
Well, since we can't avoid getting older, we certainly can avoid getting OLD. Age is just a number. My mom always says "age is a matter of the mind, and if you don't mind, it don't matter".(L.J.Lonon). Although we can't get around the fact that as we age, new generations are being born and old ones are simply passing on to "heavenly retirement". Youth is something we can control to a certain extent, it begins in our minds. We are what we believe we are. Society has forced us to accept things associated with age as a standard, not me, can't do it.
We must work hard to change that stereotypical crap and maintain our youth so we can be a blessing to a very crazy world who would like nothing more than to extinguish our voices and get rid of anything that resembles Christianity.
My tip for the week is " Pray a little more, Love a little more Live a Little longer".

FRIDAY
Well, it's Friday at last and I'm about to leave work in a matter of a few minutes. Today was filled with mourning of a co-workers' father . She lost her mom only 2 months ago. This is a tremendous trial of endurance and strength, but I have the belief she and her family will endure. I do want her to know she is allowed to grieve and God's strength, not hers will be much more reliable.
Even though I am not a funeral kind of person, I felt a bit left out at work when I had to stay on the phones while everyone else was attending the memorial...maybe the silence and no one walking the halls is what has that effect. Anyhow it wasn't long before people filled the lobby and I felt "life" again.
Lord, let the heaviness dissipate.

FRIDAY
As much as I love Friday, it seems to come quicker than ever before. Time has truly sped up and I'm holding on for dear life so I get as much from it as possible. What I'd like to see happen is when Friday arrives, it moves swiftly to 4:30pm as that is the time I get off and remain there indefinitely until I say move to Saturday. And Saturday should at least remain for 2 days. That's what we call a long weekend!
I have two friends who've lost their dads within the same week, we all attend same church, with many of the same friends. My prayers are with them during this bereavement period, fully knowing how it feels to lose one.Dads are so special...I miss my dad still, no matter how many years fly by- he's still the best dad ever. I still see that smile- always glad to see his family . Consolation is we will see each other again one day and "oh, what a beautiful day". Watch out Heaven!!!

STOP THE TRAIN
Gainesville athlete who collapsed dies overnight
Sarah Landauer collapsed at her track practice on Monday.

The Eastside High School athlete who collapsed earlier this week died overnight.
That's just one more teen death, untimely to say the least...TOO MANY!!!
Does anyone feel what I feel, that there's absolutely too much death and dying and killing lately? I feel a bit overwhelmed right now. Within the last year there've been friends, friends of friends, friend's families, passing away in record numbers. I've hardly gotten through one death when another is announced. Just this morning, I found out that a friend's mom passed away a few weeks ago and as usual it seems I just saw her. The transition from life to death is so quick. As someone dear to me recently said "Stop this train, I wanna get off now." Let's pray for a little reprieve, time to sort out our lives, relish the important things, hold on to our dear ones with all our might.That's just one more teen death, untimely to say the least...TOO MANY!!!
I do know Jesus loves us and feels our pain. God designed us to get over death and realize that life goes on even when we think this terrible time of bereavement will never pass.
May we rest in knowing that JOY comes in the morning...which morning , I'm not so sure, but it WILL come.

Aging
Should we age gracefully or should we just put up a fight? I say fight and win the battle.
I found a quote by Alan Bleasdale which states " I think when the horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry." And I say "If your parents are still alive, ask them why they didn't wait ten years before having you, then you'd only be forty." quote by Linda Lofton.

End of the weekend
Weekend, what must I do to get you to stay longer? Beg, plead, sell my birthright? Just kidding!
I love the weekend so much that it really is hard for me to say "goodbye"to the one thing I look forward to week after week..."The weekend".It certainly has a ring to it and it makes my heart glad.
Oh well, it's over so I must get over it and crank it up a notch, make this the best week ever. I love knowing I've done well during the week so I can celebrate the weekend, energize and start over, gaining momentum all the time. I get better everyday so NO LIMITS!
OK week, let's have it... I'm ready. After all, I'm such a favor-magnet...everything always works out for me.
I'll be back!!!

FRIDAY
Oh Boy, it's Friday once more, can't believe how fast time flies. It was just Friday a week ago. Anyhow, let's get excited about what God has in store for us. I know I've got plenty to do,some exciting ...some not so much.
On the top of my list tomorrow is a book signing by a famous local author and motivational speaker, Leah Taylor.She's written the soon to be best seller "The Death of the Tip" available from her website www.thedeathofthetip.com or Barnes and Noble, take your pick. Support the locals! YAY!
After getting myself all educated by Ms Taylor, I may take in a movie and do some much needed shopping. The "not so much stuff" would be cleaning my closet in my bedroom and getting rid of a paper trail I've created with so many UNWANTED, UNNECESSARY, UNINVITED bills. Do they think if they send me several statements, they'll get money faster. I'm thinking of asking them to take that postage and stationery money and apply that to my bills. Surely it would lessen my balance.
I'm believing in total "debt cancellation", and lots of dead presidents marching into my checking account to make my life comfy.
Way to go weekend...I love you so. This time around, please stay for more than 2 days so we may become better acquainted. I really want to know you better.

Tip for Women
Hey! Girls, Women,Females
What's wrong with us girls giving all our goodies away before marriage?
It sure feels good and so what if that relationship doesn't work and you have to give the goodies away again and again? It will probably feel good again and again, at least for a fleeting moment, then the guilt comes, the hurt won't move in another direction...it only has eyes for you. I can tell you what's wrong with "goody giving" before marriage and commitment, God in His infinite wisdom didn't create us to do it that way and that is it, period. So, doing it any other way than the way He intended is the wrong way. It's not about feeling good, it's about obedience and relationship.

The next time the situation gets hot and heavy and you have no knot to tie, think about the consequence...that old devil consequence. Find the nearest extinguisher and Put That Fire Out!

Today
Today I woke up feeling much anxiety, not knowing where it's stemming from but I do know where it's going and that is "away from me". I know my help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth and He won't allow anything to disrupt my good life He's given me. I just have to pull on my confidence cord and ring for service.
So many things we encounter that hinder our health are actually preventable if we take better care of the temple God gave us, starting with eating better and making better choices. Yeah! you got it, I'm speaking to me and possibly to you if you're not feeling your very best right now. Let's start a campaign for perfect health. If we believe the word of God concerning our health and well-being, then we can live a life others only dream of living. Starting today, my mantra is "living life on the edge of perfection", what's yours?

Friday
It's Friday ,yes it is and once more it marks the end of a week well-worked.Along with life's many changes, I'm still learning grace and acceptance of the challenges that walk hand in hand with living here on this earth. There are certainly times of battle fatigue and feelings of hopelessness that enter in but God equips us to do what we thought was impossible and navigates us through tough times we thought we'd never make it through. "Through" is a the key word. We have to have the confidence in Him that He can put us safely on the other side.
I'm thrilled to know that tough times DO NOT last, they just get in my way temporarily.
Push hard, pray harder, love more than ever, and I'll be see you later.
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!

Divorce
This definition of divorce was found on Wikipedia:
Divorce (or the dissolution of marriage) is the final termination of a marital union, canceling the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage and dissolving the bonds of matrimony between the parties. In most countries divorce requires the sanction of a court or other authority in a legal process.But we know as Christians it digs much deeper, down to the recesses of our being, possibly further so what do we do? I will be delving into it in the next few weeks or as I feel led.
I pulled this next bit of info from "Got ?'s.org and found it interesting. Here tis:
It is distressing that the divorce rate among professing Christians is nearly as high as that of the unbelieving world. The Bible makes it abundantly clear that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) and that reconciliation and forgiveness should be the marks of a believer’s life (Luke 11:4; Ephesians 4:32). However, God recognizes that divorce will occur, even among His children. A divorced and/or remarried believer should not feel any less loved by God, even if the divorce and/or remarriage is not covered under the possible exception clause of Matthew 19:9. God often uses even the sinful disobedience of Christians to accomplish great good.

Friday
Hello world,
It is Friday for sure today so let's get it started and keep it moving. I am feeling exhilarated somewhat today, as I often do when Friday finally rolls around and says Hello to me. I feel like a new person, ready for anything, especially the weekend...busy as it may be, I still look forward to my "me" time if you can call making up 8 faces for a wedding "me" time. Hey, I need the money and I thoroughly enjoy making women beautiful...naturally.
My main thought right now is "when will it be 4:30pm so I can get my weekend on. Maybe I'll take my daughter to dinner tonight at her favorite hotspot " Red Lobster". Oowee!!
Well until later, Farewell or should I say Fair-Friday.Au revoir, Adios, Hasta pronto!

Fridays (onThurs)
OK You few faithful Friday followers, I was briefly confused on what day it is...couldn't wait until tomorrow for this one because I WISH IT WAS FRIDAY TODAY! So bare with me and let's make this the very first "Thursday I wish it was Friday Day". Anybody with me on this? I don't want to have to get dressed tomorrow morning for work or get my daughter dressed for school. I want to be lazy and sleep in ..enjoy the comforts of home, hire a maid and butler to indulge my every whim. Do you think that's fantasy talk? Well, it's not. It's My reality, soon to be real reality. That's right, I said it.I'm wealthy and deserve a little pampering and gosh darnit, I'm gonna get it. God bless you.
See you tomorrow!!!
See you tomorrow!!!

FRIDAY
Oh how I love my Fridays. It's not just because of the blog, but it marks the end of another work week well done, marked off, and a paycheck. Yay! Pay! Let's face it, we all want to get paid, right?
I still have technology on the brain, so here it goes again. When did we get so lazy that we hit redial on our cell phones before checking the message and finding out where the call really came from or how we can reach the person that called? There are still businesses that have numbers that show up on caller ID that are not the number you need to dial to reach your party, so LISTEN to your messages people before assuming and resuming that call.

FRIDAYS
Well, I missed posting on Friday for a number of "not so good reasons" but it's still the weekend and stuff is still happening worthy of blogging about.
Troubling me this time around is the use or misuse of technology among people who can't walk and chew gum...mainly our young people who have no real responsibility in life other than breathing. They walk around aimlessly texting their friends, talking on the cell, or playing a video game with no regard to what;s happening in the world around them.
When I heard about the kid who fell off onto the subway rail playing a game, I was NOT surprised and we'll hear about more incidences as we move further into this new era of tech-frolicky if we don't teach them how to properly use the equipment. It may come with a price or penalty to punish those who think it won't happen to them but we must do something.
Anyhow, enjoy until later!
Be back on Friday.

FRIDAY
Today is Friday and I'm feeling pretty tired after an early morning taking my daughter to the dentist for a dreaded EXTRACTION, her very first and hope the last. As the feeling began to return, she clearly didn't understand so she started rubbing her cheeks to get rid of the tingle. After nearly falling down and carryuing me with her, I knew I wou;ld have to watch her closely because she's so independent and wanted to do the things she normally does, but NO...ain't gonna happen on my watch. Somehow she managed to chew on the gauze, roll it around in her mouth, take it out of her mouth and make me change it constantly, so no nap for me.
I also noticed she seemed real happy, much more than usual...boy oh boy, what kind of drugs did they give her? Never have I seen a person so happy after having a tooth taken out. I guess surgery can be fun, huh?
Not much to say today since I didn't work today. Did I say didn't work? I certainly didn't mean that, I meant I didn't work on my job today because I have really worked today. Until next Friday, think Lovely thoughts!

FRIDAYS---
Well... here tis, it's Friday and I'm back as promised.
Today, something is seriously bothering me, that being the senseless and untimely deaths of our young men, especially our young Black men. What's up America and Christian community? We need to be about our forefathers and our Heavenly Father's business...saving people, not losing them. We are in fact losing them...too many. Recently it touched home with someone close to my family being gunned down in a bowling alley parking lot. He was a son, a grandson, nephew, a brother, and surely he was someone's friend. He meant different things to several different people, right? Which in my estimation means several deaths at once.
Let's get busy and begin to mentor, pray, form small groups that teach mediation to these kids, so they understand that after you kill someone, you can't be friends later on or undo the death...the opportunity is Forever Gone.
Humanity is NOT dead, so let's show some.Think about it , be about it and have the greatest weekend yet!!!
