On today I reflect on the first month of communication with Dionne. She is a wonderful woman from Georgia that I met online. The communication continues to flourish. She is intelligent, educated, spiritual, and stylish. She is a wonderful package that God has placed into my life. I am uncertain of the duration of this season but I am enjoying this ( Read more... )

My birthday is on the horizon and there are a lot of things that I want to do. But I have to focus on my goals for 2013 and that is to be debt free. Staying away from ( Read more... )

It is hard to believe that it has been a year since Salina left this earth. Looking back, it was the second hardest day of my life. The first was the loss of my mother to cancer. In both cases, I felt helpless and bitter at the same time. In the case of my mom, I did not want to leave the hospital bed. I remember them helping me get to my feet and ( Read more... )

This past weekend was a good one. It was great to spend time with family. Moreover, it was good to be in the presence of the Lord at church. Given that I work on Sundays at H&R Block, I haven't been able to attend church service. New Life Covenant Oakwood was on fire for the Lord. God is so good. When I think of all that He has done for me, I am ( Read more... )

It is hard to believe that one year ago I was getting prepared to see Salina. Due to our schedules, we were unable to meet for a lengthy time. But I would try to catch her before she headed to work.

Today marks the second anniversary of for me and Salina. I miss her so much. I remember the first day we met. Our first encounter happened at IHOP. I was nervous because I was late. I hate to be late for anything. Salina joked that I could not breathe. Her smile and demeanor won me over in an instant. She seemed to possess so much class. She wore ( Read more... )

It's been three months and counting since the departure of my first true love. The days and nights without her don't feel the same. Salina meant so much to me. I heard it said before in a different context but I believe that Salina was created for me. I spent 30 years through the wilderness of singlehood and Salina rescued me from loneliness and ( Read more... )

Life can be so unfair at times. It's been two months since the passing of Salina, and life doesn't feel the same. I know she is in a better place and I've gained another angel. But that doesn't take away the loneliness and sadness that overpowers me at times. It's a shame that while Salina didn't get to see her 28th birthday, you got all these " ( Read more... )

Today was the final day of the summer semester. It was the most difficult summer of my life but God led me through. It was a physical and mental saga for me. But God had my back all the way. I enjoyed my budgeting class but my theory class was difficult. I'm hoping for my first "A" in Public Administration this summer. However, the likelihood is ( Read more... )
