This is my personal Journal that I am sharing with the World. I think that it is only fair that since I take my time to share my personal experiences with yall, that yall can atleast leave a message for me in the GUESTBOOK. Come on now Folk. Was sup with that? Give me some feedback.
Anyway besides being frustrated with the constantly learning different ways not to do things LIFE'S GOOD. Everyday I'm setting new goals for myself to tackle. We've had some successes and some days where we learn hundreds of ways that just didn't work. I'm happy to say that this Journal Project is definitely a success. I hope you'll enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it. I'm still learning different things that don't work in terms of this project Anyway let me just start with the thing that bugged me first today. I woke up this morning around fourish to the sounds of a television that I fell asleep on last night. Anyhow, An infomercial was playing ( i hate them ) These people were trying to hustle some book about Adrenal stress and how it makes you unable to lose weight. They'll blame anything for obesity (except over eating and not exercising) before you know it they'll be blaming global warming for obesity. Anyhow, this salesman pitched a phrase that kind of made a brother have to do some reflection. Adrenal stress is more of a problem now that it was 100 years ago because people are more stresses out now than they were then. His examples were the economy, 3 or 4 kids, and tough professional careers. I thought wow people will say anything to get a sale. Think about the economy 100 years ago THE GREATT DEPRESSION is almost 100 years old. Back in the Day people weren't having 3 or 4 children they were popping out 7 and 8. Don't you remember your Grandma's stories about all her brothers and sisters? In terms of Careers give me a break. Imagine being a sharecropper, minor, or working in factory where people are losing limbs left and right. I agree with the opposition on one significant point. "WE ARE THE ONES MORE STRESSED OUT" Those people had fun through their adversities. There were cases where whole families were sharecroppers. But the family did their work together and built GREAT FOUNDATIONS. And when the Sun went down the family time continued. Families ate dinner together. Rapper Ghostface once asked the question “What Happen to the Family?" Give or take a F Bomb or two his message was on point. In those days people didn't work hard just to get everything that they wanted because it was hard enough just trying to fulfill the basic necessities. There were people who did not have shoes. (Read the Book Up From Slavery) How much easier would life be if we just took care of our needs first and then limited our wants? Here are some strong words “People before Things" Sometimes just enjoy the company of the people who you call your love ones. Sometimes it is good to just commune without the Television set on. People go to Church and they take communion on 1st and 3rd Sundays but they actually never commune. That practice is a ceremony. But what kind of communion do you have with your friends. Could you and your friends just enjoy each others company with a very simple dinner like "Bread and Wine" That was every simple Passover meal that Yeshua( Jesus) shared with his disciples. Sometimes there is true beauty in keeping it plain and mundane.
