KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: Sometimes I see my life as an unsolvable puzzle. My days move along rapidly, but the people and situations I encounter seem to make no sense. I consider and weigh carefully the decisions I think I should make, but find myself doing something completely opposite of what I thought I had decided. Then a moment of stillness comes, and I realize that all these random strands are actually part of the beautiful tapestry that is the journey of my life, and I am so grateful. Thank you, God, for leading me in paths I might never choose, and for giving the journey of my life a rich texture. Amen.

Excellent choice for the quote, from our family friend! Do you remember the Thornes from Newark? Cousins Jessie and "Honey," and their children Robert and Lynda? They were great friends of Imamu. He was at their backyard picnics spouting rhetoric that Uncle Johnson used to scream about! Aunt Dot loved his "radical nature." He read a poem written especially for Jessie at her funeral!! He gave it to Lynda with the request that it not be published. She wouldn't even share it with my parents. Have a great day!!
Great quote and so very true.
