Weekend Update- Red Hook Summer
My wife and I went to see Spike Lee's new joint- "Red Hook Summer" Friday night...I can remember when a new Spike Lee movie was a major event...Now not so much anymore...This film was a tad long and took too long to get to the point,but when it did..it really did knock you for a loop! Worth seeing!
Fans of "The Wire" will of course recognize the great Clarke Peters (Detective Lester Freemon) in the title role as Bishop Enoch and Isiah "Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet" Whitlock as ironically enough a detective and James Ramsone "Zoogi" from season two in small roles.
If you've been to almost all Spike Lee movies , as I have...you might recognize actress Camilla Johns (Nola Darling) from his very first film..."She's Gotta Have it." in the mix and some great newcomers like Nate Parker...
Like I said...Worth a watch!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: Sometimes it is so hard to wait. To wait for new things to happen in my life. To wait for you to answer my prayers. To wait for the open doors that may lead me into a new way of being. During the time of waiting, it seems that all I can think of is having what it is I am waiting for. At times I feel weary of asking and waiting, and I wonder if you really hear my prayers at all, if you are ignoring me, or if you are simply refusing to give me my heart’s desire. A part of me knows that you want my best, and that your time is not my time, but Lord, it is still so hard to wait. Deepen my trust, O Lord, during the times when my heart longs for what can only come in the fullness of time. Give me a calm assurance that your will for me is grander than anything I could ever imagine. Still my mind and heart in your love so that I am mindful of the grace you are draping around me every single day, every single moment. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
