“Too many people are living below their privileges. It’s because their vision has been clouded by past mistakes, disappointments, or how they were raised. They don’t feel like royalty. They don’t think they could be successful and really accomplish what God has put in their hearts. But I believe today, as I’m speaking faith into you, something is happening on the inside.”
― Joel Osteen
A Thought For Today
“The Law of the Garbage Truck,” was this: “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. It doesn’t have anything to do with you. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me, you’ll be happier.”

A Thought for Today
God knows your value; He sees your potential. You may not understand everything you are going through right now. But hold your head up high, knowing that God is in control and he has a great plan and purpose for your life. Your dreams may not have turned out exactly as you’d hoped, but the bible says that God’s ways are better and higher than our ways, even when everybody else rejects you, remember, God stands before you with His arms open wide. He always accepts you. He always confirms your value. God sees your two good moves! You are His prized possession. No matter what you go through in life, no matter how many disappointments you suffer, your value in God’s eyes always remains the same. You will always be the apple of His eye. He will never give up on you, so don’t give up on yourself.”

THEFT or MISPLACED FOOD ITEMS??
Jamaican Food Items Goes Missing
A Bronx resident is still baffled about what might have happened to food items sent to a relative in Temple Texas. The food items packed in a USPS box was sent off from the Hillside Station in Bronx on February 18, 2015 for Temple Texas with an expected delivery date of Tuesday February 24th. The package arrived at its destination on Saturday February 28 in the condition seen below.
If you notice one side of the box is missing and held together with tape. This could have been the result of poor handling which of course is not acceptable since the sender made it clear there was perishable item in the box, specifically…a cake. However that was not the worst part, the package arrived with half of the food items missing. Below is a list of the items sent and the items that the recipient received.

Interestingly enough the following items on the left arrived in the box. They were not a part of the original packaging and replaced the missing items. The items on the right are what arrived.
Despite reports the sender has been unable to get any answer about the missing items or why the package arrived with other items packed in it that were not a part of the original package.
Below is the facilities that the package passed through en route to its destination.

This package did not go through every post office in the entire United States. Someone somewhere in one of these facilities must know something about what happened to the package and which facility received it in a damaged condition. Forty eight dollars was spent to ship this package. The items were not insured but surely there should be some accountability. This is unacceptable and raises concern about using the US Postal System.
Do you thing this was an accident and the items got misplaced or it was deliberate theft. You be the judge.
A Thought for Today
“Certainly, other people can pray for you, they can believe for you, they can quote the scripture to you, but you must exercise faith for yourself. If you are always depending on somebody else to keep you happy, somebody else to encourage you or to get you out of trouble, you will live in perpetual weakness and disappointment. You must make a decision that you are going to be a believer. Take charge of your life and decide, “No matter what comes against me, I believe in God. I’m going to have a positive outlook for my life! Other people’s faith can indeed bolster yours. But your own faith will bring you a miracle much faster than anybody else’s. What you believe has a much greater impact on your life than what anybody else believes.”

Bobbi Kristina
After weeks in a medical induced coma the latest report on Bobbi Kristina condition is that some of her organs are shutting down. This is a serious and sad situation. I for one was hoping that she would pull through. Let us continue to pray for a miracle for as long as she is alive there is still hope. God raised Lazarus from the dead and He can bring her back from the jaws of death with Him all things are possible. Again let us all continue to pray for Bobbi Kristina.
Martin Luther King
“Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, “Love your enemies.” It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies.
A dream without action to make it reality
will remain nothing but a dream.
A seed will remain a seed unless you plant it
We all have potential inside each man is
the possibility for growth.
Finished Novel
Just completed the final chapter in my new Novel GHOSTS OF HIS PAST. Now I have the daunting task of reading it through for errors and make corrections. Will be publishing it in Create Space. Hopefully it should be on the bookshelf by February.
Shaping Your Future
When we realize that we are the ones responsible for shaping our future it is only then that we understand how important it is to work diligently towards fulfilling our dreams. Leave nothing to chance and leave not your fate in the hands of another because life has shown how easy it is for mankind to betray one another. Go forth with confidence and do not blame everyone but yourself when you fail. There is nothing wrong with failing unless you accept yourself as a failure and give up without trying to mobilize yourself to turn that failure into success. Success for many do not happen over night it is something you have to work at tirelessly and tenaciously until you get to that place where you can say yes thank God I got it done. Hang in there strive for success and never lose hope.
