The Harlem Renaissance: Music, Religion, and the Politics of Race

My good friend David told me about this series. If you have some time, listen in and learn. And enjoy!

Coloring Inside (And Out) of the Lines

I purchased a pack of oil pastel sticks a couple of weeks ago and have been coloring the past couple of days like a little Crayola Kid.

I Hasten to His Throne...

"I love the the Lord, he heard my cry
And pitied every groan, long as I, I live
And troubles rise, I hasten to his throne"

Rest in peace.

...My Life...

"Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from the Ancient Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, "omission" or "falling short") is a series of marks that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word, sentence or whole section from the original text being quoted. An ellipsis can also be used to indicate an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence, (aposiopesis), example: "But I thought he was..." When placed at the beginning or end of a sentence, the ellipsis can also inspire a feeling of melancholy or longing. The ellipsis calls for a slight pause in speech or any other form of text, but it is incorrect to use ellipses solely to indicate a pause in speech."

Praise in Total

Blacks in Red

I don't go to the movies too often, but this one, this one I've got to see.

Lord Knows...

"Only the Lord knows
the Most High
like Louis, Marian & Le-na
I try
to forget
the trouble I've seen. I
waited patiently,
praying, crying
til the tears streamed. I
waded in the water,
swung low,
on my knees like Tebow,
opposite of a bronco,
hung in, though.

The Lord, Almighty,
He knows."
