Sunday Singin' Sensation #11: JAMES INGRAM!!!

Howdy!

Can you BUUULEIVE it? I've posted twice now in less than 24 hours. WOO HOO!!!! I am going to try and get back to "normal." Aiight, are you going to give God (don't start that mess with the LEAF) some PPPPPPPRAISE today? I would like to share this poem with you:

BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER

by Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ

that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''

I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.

I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,

My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain..

I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Pretty is as Pretty does... but beautiful is just plain beautiful!

Maya is a living Hallmark card. I've got to give her the KUDOS that she most definitely deserves.

This week's SS is none other than the FOINE-ass James Ingram. I've loved this man since 1980 when he released "Just Once." Then, I continued to be mesmerized with his music/face with "Baby Come to Me" (duet with she is SO skinny now Patti Austin) and "The Secret Garden." Recently, his "Forever I'll Be" became THE wedding song of the year. I am so GHETTO that I keep KYOT (Jazz station) playing on my CD player at the g-i-g ALL day (quietly). I've learned that it helps mellow my students. When James Ingram is on, the volume goes UP. If you don't know who James Ingram is, EDUCATE YOURSELF, PULLLLLLLLLEZE!!! :

Barack has selected his running mate. What do y'all think about his choice? Will Michelle become the black Jackie O? She sure does remind me of her somewhat.

Yesterday, I hung out with my boy, CT. We hit the Dillards sale as well as lunch @ The Cheesecake Factory, TARJAY, Ritz Camera, and Old Navy. Next weekend, - SanTan Village. I luv that man. He cracks me UP. Indeed, he's a shopping ho just like myself.

Menfolks wear my damn nerves. At times, I feel that my husband is right around the corner, but other days, I'm like NOPE.

Happy Sunday!!!!
