What I've Learned

1.I've always loved my city (Philadelphia PA.) The Good and the Bad of it...I was born and raised here. after all.

2. Most of my family and close friends have left Philly...I'm like the last man satnding.

3. I like living in the city, it's very convenient.

4. The Blood in my veins and my DNA is made up of Cheese Steaks and Soft Pretzels...


5.Unlike other Philadelphians...It don't feel entitled to double park....That won't fly in other towns, especially the Philadelphia  suburbs...


6. Some Pennsylvanian's and even people from South Jersey go to other places and say they're from Philadelphia because they know, no one else has heard of their small town or township.

7.My sports teams, The Phillies, 76ers and Eagles have broken my heart most of my life...but in 2008, The Phillies won the World Series ,in 2009, they went back again, though the didn't win...in 2022 they went back to the world series..and my Eagles went to the Super Bowl...They didn't win...but they did win in 2018. My Sixers won in 1983, when I was 25....Still waiting for another championship.

8.Fun for me was hanging out  on South Street on a Saturday Afternoon...

9.I love all of my hometown artists, The Roots,Jill Scott, Boyz II Men, Will Smith et al.

10. I've been all through Europe and in Asia and through most of the United States, but at the end of the day...I'm Philly all day!


PEACE!

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.
