Innocent
blood is flowing in Trinbago.
Trinidad and
Tobago needs the death penalty. The hangman’s noose should be the penalty for murderer!
This is what God said to Moses about the
penalty for murder.
Numbers 35:16-21. If he struck him down with an iron object,
so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to
death. If he struck him down with a stone in the hand, by which he will
die, and as a result he
died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. Or if he struck him with a wooden object in
the hand, by which he might die, and as a result he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall
surely be put to death. The blood avenger himself shall put the murderer
to death; he shall put him to death when he meets him. If he pushed him of
hatred, or threw something at him lying in wait and as a result he
died, or if he struck him down with his hand in enmity, and as a
result he died, the one who struck him shall surely be put to death,
he is a murderer; the blood avenger shall put the murderer to death when he
meets him.
Family
members don’t get special dispensation just because they’re blood.
If
your mother doesn’t tell you the truth don’t keep acting like she does.
If
you know that your father has the tendency to not honor his word, don’t keep trusting
he will do what he says he is going to do because he is your father. Iyanla

Happy Wednesday. Have a nice day. Enjoy and be safe.
Some people lie, cheat, be hurtful etc., then arrogantly
believe that God will forgive them. Remember that God is a forgiving God,
God is not a forgetting God.
These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look. A lying tongue. Hands that shed innocent blood.
A heart that devises wicked plans. Feet
that are swift in running to evil.
A false witness who speaks
lies. And one who sows discord among
brethren.

When I was a child I used
to think that love was a guarantee from father, mother,
sister, and brother. Growing up taught me that love or hate are deep
affections that father, mother, sister, and brother transmit… I know how it
feels to be loved. I know how it feels to be hated.
Enjoy your day and be
safe.

Psalm 12. Help, Lord,
for no one is faithful anymore; those who are loyal have vanished from the
human race. Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts. May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful
tongue— those who say, “By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will
defend us—who is lord over us?” “Because the poor are plundered and the
needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord.
“I will protect them from those who malign them. The promises of the LORD
are sure, like tried silver, freed from dross, sevenfold refined. You, O LORD,
will keep us and preserve us always from this generation, while about us the
wicked struts and in high place are the basest of men. Amen.
Have a wonderful day and
be safe.

Birds Nesting Near the Coast –Rumi
(1207-1273)
Soul, if you
want to learn secrets, your heart must forget about shame and dignity.
You are
God’s lover, yet you worry what people are saying.
The rope
belt the early Christians wore to show who they were, throw it away.
Inside you
are sweet beyond telling and the cathedral there, so deeply tall.
Evening now,
more your desire than a woman’s hair.
And not
knowledge, walk with those innocent of that,
face inside
fire, birds nesting near the coast, earning their beauty, servants to the
ocean.
There is a
sun within every person, the you we call companion.

It
is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But
God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the
gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on
earth. It is an awesome opportunity. --- Cesar Chavez (1927-1993)

For weeks, I have been
cooking rice, peas, beans, vegetables, fish, and meats… My family started to
complain…. “Not even a macaroni pie or potato salad.”
Today hot like hell but macaroni
pie in the oven and I am making potato salad.
The AC is on but I am
sweating and life is good.
Have a nice day and be
safe.

The lady in the picture with me, is the late Maulda Mondezie. She
lived in Techier Village, Point Fortin, Trinidad, but she left Trinidad,
migrated to Canada in 1965. Lived in Côte-des-Neiges, Montrael,
Quabec, Canada. She is my Godmother and I am trying to find out her maiden
name. The picture of us was taken at her home in Canada 1979. She and I look
alike and I questioned it but I got a lot of non-answers.
Growing up in my home I used to be
treated like the neighbor’s child’. Today that treatment is more so than ever.
If you know Mrs. Mondezie’s maiden name or
anything about her, please let me know.

A wonderful safe Friday to
you and yours. Have a nice day and be safe.
Remember that the person/s
who works for you is relieving you from extra duties. You need them. They don’t
need you. Stop acting as though they need you because you are paying them a
salary and it makes you superior.
If the worker/s leaves the
job, you will feel it.
As the old Trinbago folks
used to say, “Yuh go miss the water when the well run dry.”
