"Even Angels" by Fantasia Barrino

Today I watched the most recent episode of Fantasia for Real (vh1 Reality Show) online. I cried on several scenes. I cried when she was arguing with her father. I cried when her friend Santashia spoke to the kids at the shelter AND when she was talking to Fantasia afterwards. I cried when she hugged her mother and told her that she was done with her father. ...I just cried. I cried because I really feel her pain. She just wants to be understood and not taken for granted. So many people within her household depend on her. That's a lot for her to deal with, but by God's grace...she is coping, she will be ok. I also listened to her new single: "Even Angels". This is a beautiful song! I have listened to it over and over again. It really touches my heart in so many ways. I can relate on so many levels with this song. I cried tears of joy...while listening to this song because it reminds me of where I've come from and I think about where I am now (how far ...

'Tis The Season

Image
Well it's that time of year again...my favorite time of year! December/Christmas season! I love Christmas because it's such a joyous occasion. 'Tis the season to give, love, and cherish all that God has blessed us with-not just the material, but our family, friends, and loved ones. Today, 12/02/2009, we had a little snow in North Dallas. It was just as beautiful as any other snow day in Dallas, TX. Another reason that I love this season is because of the warm, cozy feeling this season gives me. I also enjoy seeing all the festive Christmas decorations, so one could imagine the feeling I got this morning when the snow started to fall! I started singing to myself in the car: " It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...". Since this is our last week at GE Healthcare, a few co-workers and I were taking advantage of this beautiful Winter day. We took a few pictures in the lobby in front of the company's Christmas trees as well as a few out in the snow. Can...

Crossroads

Well...so much has been happening that I haven't really had time to blog. I guess I'll start with what's happend most recently, which you'll in turn see why I titled this blog "Crossroads". On October 22, 2009, my employer held an “All-hands meeting” and announced that they would be closing its doors of our work location. That was the day we all were officially laid-off. Some were hurt and disappointed, while others were happy and excited. Then all kinds of questions and discussions began. Many wondered and asked what we’d do next, if we’d immediately seek other employment or just take a break. Because I had been praying and asking God for the opportunity to be self-employed by the end of 2009 and now that the job has ended, all sorts of ideas have been running through my head. Therefore, I am at a “crossroad”, waiting on guidance to know which direction to take. I want to start a business, but I know that will require capital, which I do not possess at ...

Persistent

OK. I am going to keep the blog today really short b/c I am tired. Being persistent or consistent really pays off! For the past few months my cousin has been working on his music. He has been going to the studio to record every week on Wednesday`s and has been writing lyrics seems like every other day, if not everyday. So, now he has a finished product. He just started going out hittin` the street to sell the CD`s on Saturday, Aug. 1st. On top of that, he has been writing lyrics for his next album....so while we are out networking to push his 1st Mix tape album, he is also meeting with producers to try and create tracks for his 2nd album. So, yes....I would have to say that being persistent does pay off! I will have to keep you all posted on how things are going. Until then..... Peace & Blessings! - K.R.

Yao Ming!

On yesterday evening (June 29th, 2009) when I logged on the Yahoo home page, I noticed one of the headlines saying something about devastating news regarding Yao`s foot injury. Apparently Yao Ming had a foot injury that isnt healing as everyone would expect. I just tought I`d take the time out to say that we all need to send some prayers up for Yao! He seems like a very nice & humble man. I know he`s a great ball player, and he himself would even be devastated if he wouldnt be able to play basketball ever again....but that`s what the doctors are saying...that it`s a possibility. There will be several more tests done before they ultimately say he can`t play anymore. So, I started thinking....with Yao being such a tall man 7`6``...what else could he be doing if his foor doesn`t heal to the point whereas he can play ball again? Well.....personally I`d love to see his foot heal so that he can. So, I am going to decree that his foot heals in the name of Jesus so that he can continu...

Respect the Legendary King!

Well....another great man has passed on. I`m not just talking about any great man, I`m talking about the one & only Michael Jackson! The King of Pop music as we all know and have grown to love and truly adore. I don`t care what anyone has to say about his personal preferences or his personal lifestyle, the bottom line is this: He was still a great entertainer and humanitarian! Regardless if he is guilty of all the charges brought against him, the bottom line is: All have sinned and come short of HIS glory. Furthermore, he without sin, PLEASE...PLEASE...cast the first stone!!! None of us humans are perfect on this Earth. We all have to go before the ultimate judge, GOD. It doesn`t matter what man has to say about us, because man does not have a Heaven or Hell to place us in. I am only saying all of this because Michael Jackson was a target of the media before death, and I hope that he does not continue to be so after his death. At some point, every human being should be ...

"Politically Incorrect?!!"

Today I received an e-mail and thought I'd share with you all. If you are truly a believer, then you will love this song and fully understand the importance of not excluding God from everything. Please read message below before clicking on the link to hear the song. Here is the detailed e-mail I received: The song you are about to listen to is from a Las Vegas Diamond Rio concert. They received an immediate resounding standing ovation, and continue to do so every time they perform it! Sadly, major radio stations wouldn't play it because it was considered `politically incorrect`... Consequently, the song was never released to the public. So America, see what you think.. If this offering speaks to your heart and you feel you want to share it with your friends and loved ones, please do.
