I Just Can't Stop Praising His Name!

Good morning!


Are you finding yourself unable to stop praising His name?

The song was written by Keith Pringle and performed by the Pentacostal Community College.

What have you called the Lord up for recently? If you haven't, why don't you pick up the "phone" and do so? He DID wake you up this morning!

Yesterday, I met my friend, Audrey. We were introduced via the certification program. We've talked on the phone the entire summer, but we've never met. It was SO nice meeting her. I truly wish that Audrey lived closer. She's such a kind person, and I am most thankful for her helping me with the certification program. It's a rarity to find a sweet soul anymore.

How was your Saturday? I ventured to the mall; Dillards had a great sale going on. I so heart me some Dillards. Everything was either picked over and/or I didn't miss much by staying out of the mall this summer. If the economy is so poor, where are people getting all of this $$$ from?!

Call Me Rosa Parks!

Good morning, Readers!

I've been MIA. I am juggling a lot right now. By the time that I return home from work, I desire sleep and something to eat.

I must share why my post is titled, "Call Me Rosa Parks!"

* Last week, this 99 trying to make 100 man was angered that I had to sit next to him on the Park and Ride bus; the bus was packed, and it was the closest seat. I proceeded to call my grandmother as I do each day after work. The idiot got upset and started reading his book aloud. I informed him that I didn't have the patience for his Hooked on Phoenix BS, and if one of the students from my district wasn't on the bus, I would proceed to cuss him out. I got up, and I sat somewhere else.
* On Thursday morning, I board the bus. The seat where I normally sit was occupied Low and behold, I sat in PsychoNutCase's window row. Mind you, I didn't know. He proceeded to push his boney behind across me and demand to sit there. When I wouldn't move fast enough, he started to sit on my backpack. I moved, but I told the driver about the incident. Then, the man acted as if he were deef and needed to adjust his hearing aid.
* Yesterday, the man wasn't able to sit in "his' seat because another man was occupying it. I said," Oh, not going to try and push this young man out of YOUR seat? What's wrong? I explained what happened to me, and the young man said, "I WISH that you would bring your ass over here and try that with me. I know what your problem is, and I will handle it, trust me."
* I called Mr. A. on Thurs. AM. He said, "Damnit, Rosa Parks, it's the 21st century, and you still can't sit at the front of the bus." I laughed so hard on that bus that I was heaving."


Seriously, Leon and I both concurred that the man had some serious racial hatred - he was mad that he was elderly and was still working (it didn't appear that he was on the bus because he was trying to remain active; he needed the money); he was mad that I wanted to sit in his seat, and our African American President fully exemplifies that not only are blacks sitting in the front of the bus, we are also residing in the White House. Lastly, another black was in "his" seat on Friday morning.

On the way home yesterday, I had the back of the bus (only seats available) roaring about the crazy man, especially with my impression of how he was literally running to the bus yesterday morning only to find his seat occupied!

Truly, I love and respect the elderly. My paternal grandparents were up in age when I was born; however, I have problems with senior citizens who have lived their entire lives hating a particular group of people and will probably die doing so.

Can you imagine being that stagnant?

Weekend plans?

Mr. A.

was gracious enuf to allow me to take a few pics of him @ the g-i-g. There are also some from his birthday celebration.


Enjoy!

Sunday Singin' Sensation: THE COMMODORES

HELLO!

It's been awhile since I have posted a SSS. Today, I chose The Commodores' hit, Jesus is Love:

Indeed, "in a times like these, we need a song like this."


Whew! Where do I begin?

* Work is keeping me JUMPING. I barely see myself. I AM back to taking pictures non-stop. Once again, I am donating them to the school's yearbook. I have captured some beautiful and natural shots. My photography is truly growing. Since they are minors, I cannot post them. Mr. A. was even blown away by some of the phots.
* I saw "Julie and Julia" yesterday afternoon. It was a cute film! Meryl Streep was superb (along with Amy Adams).
* Yesterday, I attended a professional growth seminar (work-related). That's ALL I have to say about it.
* Today, I went to my church. I can honestly say that I was spiritually nourished today.
* Mr. A. still has me rollin'.
* I hate how folks try to "dummy down" teaching to educators and how some educators fail to realize this and take these folks' word as Gospel.
* I am back to reading for pleasure - I am simultaneously reading Twilight and Laurie Halse Anderson's Wintergirls. Anderson is definitely back. This is her best novel since Speak.
* I am blessed that the university has invited me to return and teach two classes. I return to campus tomorrow night.


Here is a pic that Mr. A. took of me on the 1st day of school. The dress is similar to the one that I wore last year, but it's shorter. The colors are black and khaki. It is a beautiful dress.



Be blessed!

WILL BLOG THIS WEEKEND

It's been another crazy week.
Continue to pray for me; jealousy, especially over CRAZINESS, is a monster! Some women, especially those who are old enough to be my mother, NEED TO GET A LIFE.

TGIF!!!

WE HAD A BLAST!

We had a BLAST!!! I haven't seen Mr. A. ever laugh this hard. Off to Lowe's. Mr. A. will be here soon. My microwave died, and I need to exchange it with Lowe's.

RESURFACING

Good morning!

It's hard to believe that nearly a week has passed since my last post. I barely have time to see myself! Work is keeping me busy/on my toes. I am taking some "me time" today by heading to the gym, cleaning, and going to see EDDIE GRIFFIN tonight with Mr. A. We are both excited.

His birthday was on Wednesday. We ate @ Tomasos. Christina, you would have loved the halibut.

I hope that each of you are doing well. I promise to stop by your blogs soon. Pam - thanks for checking up on me.

More later (including photos).
