Be aware there are some people claiming to be from Con Edison’s Billing Department. Someone just called my land line and tried to con me. The moment I told the man to stay on the line, I am going to call Con Edison he hung up. I got on to Con Edison and was told that it was a scam. I called back the number the man called from. A woman said that I am the fourth person calling her number about the Con Ed situation. Enjoy your day and be safe.

On a personal note I remember when I went to Trinidad and Tobago in 2011 my brother Reynold picked us up from the airport. When he drove into Techier Village, Point Fortin, I felt very uncomfortable when I saw all the squatter’s houses and the people I did not know on the streets. My uncomfortable feeling lingered on until I left, but I always had an inclination that major criminal activities was coming. I do not trust a squatter because the land you are on is not yours. You are taking land that doesn’t belong to you so what else do you think is yours for the taking? Now we have assholes with guns in Techier Village. That is a NO! NO!

An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue. Amen. Proverbs 17:4. And I pray. Ps. 52. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. God shall likewise destroy thee forever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. I will praise thee forever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints. Amen. Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy WILL be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give me this day my daily bread; and forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me; save me from falling into temptation and deliver me from evil. Amen. Mat. 6:9-13.

If you are dating, pay attention to how you are treated by your partner and their behavior towards others. This is going to let you know if your child is going to be safe in their presence. I believe if you are treated badly by your partner your child will be treated badly. Not because he is the father of your child, he is going to be good to the child. Have a nice day.

My cell phone was sitting on the side of the sink while I washed my hands. It started ringing so I dried my hands quickly then answered. Me: Hello. Person: Who is this? Me: You called my phone. Who are you? Person: No! You called my phone! Who are you!? Me: I am not arguing this shit this morning! I hang up the phone. This woman wanted an argument. As the old Trinbago folks used to say, “She acting as though I thief she white fowl.”
The people who are complaining about wearing a mask probably knows something that the mask wearing people don’t know. Black people remember you are the last people to get any help. Anytime you are first on the list to get anything, it is not for your benefit. Follow the rules. Have a safe and sanitary day.

You know the power that is keeping the man of sin back now. The man of sin will come only when his time is ready. For the secret power of breaking the law is already at work in the world. But that secret power can only do so much until the One Who keeps back the man of sin is taken out of the way. Then this man of sin will come. The Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath of His mouth. The coming of Christ will put an end to him. Satan will use this man of sin. He will have Satan’s power. He will do strange things and many powerful works that will be false. Those who are lost in sin will be fooled by the things he can do. They are lost in sin because they did not love the truth that would save them. For this reason, God will allow them to follow false teaching so they will believe a lie. They will all be guilty as they stand before God because they wanted to do what was wrong. Amen. 2Thessalonians 2:6-12.

A wonderful, safe and healthy day to you and your family. Many of our leaders are aiming for selfish gain. Dear God I pray that we get strength and courage to face the days ahead. Ps. 127. Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to those he loves. Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court. Amen.

Rest in Peace Senator John Lewis.
If someone had told me in 1963 that
one day I would be in Congress, I would have said, 'You're crazy. You don't
know what you're talking about.' John Lewis (1940-2020)

All lives matter but Black lives are the lives that are in danger, so BLACKS LIVES MATTER. Luke 15:3-7. Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
1 John 3:15. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. Amen. The Brute-Beast are still killing Black and Brown People. I saw a video where two police men were arresting a man he was on the ground sitting next to a car. One police man was on the ground next to the man and one was standing. The man was talking sounding upset at what was happening and then I heard 2-gun shots and the man’s body went lifeless.

I have no time for shit talk. All that I am interested in is keeping my family healthy and praying that my relatives and friends are doing the same. I am also praying that we all remember to be hygienic. It is amazing that during Covid-19 Will and Jada Smith are talking about their personal life story. Who cares, I don’t. There are more important things than their shit story. I do not believe it because the paparazzi are always lurking around celebrities. Hiding in trees etc., to get picture of them so how come we never heard this shit before? Please don’t send me any messages about them. The more their shit is posted, the more money they make. Enjoy your day and be safe.

Lots of Trinidadians want to go back to live in Trinidad and Tobago. Sounds good to me. I know some of them are self-seeking. They don’t give a damn about Trinidad and Tobago, but since the country they are living in, is over run by the virus, they love Trinbago. I remember some people trash talking Trinbago saying that, they will never go back to live there. Not me and nasty Trinidad and Tobago, I cannot live there anymore. Ectara, ectara. I remember telling a few of them to wait until something happens where they are living. Trinbago would be their place to run too.

Proverbs 18:2. “The fool takes no delight in understanding, but rather in displaying what he thinks.” Black and brown people why? Commonsense is lost and arrogance has taken over. We are killing each other and that is a plus for the people who doesn’t value us. Adults have their argument and children are being caught in the mix. Innocent blood is being spill. Precious little ones are dying, WHY!

Covid-19 is still lurking around. Some people are not taking it seriously, but each man to his own accord. Disney World is open. My family and I are not going to buy sickness. We are going to follow the rules. It is a new world we are living in. A new order to live your life and enjoy it too. Have a wonderful safe and healthy Sunday.

Happy Saturday to you and your family. Many people are in need and if you give to someone shut-up. I believe if you talk you are serving two masters. Matthew 6:24. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:2-4. “So, when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Amen.

I do not like men who trash talk women. Talking to prospective partners about his past issues with a woman, doesn’t look good. (Women be aware of men who do that. You will be their next story.) If a man talks to me saying bad things about a woman, I always wonder what he did to warrant that treatment. If a man has issues with a woman and he wants to talk about it, he needs to find an honest, to goodness acquaintance and talk to them. Talking to people who don’t have your best interest at heart, doesn’t look good.

During this Covid-19 I am just loving the family story telling moments. Paul’s stories take the cake. He said that one day he was on the train and a nice young woman came on with her son. He and the woman got into a very nice conversation then her son said to him, “Mister, are you my daddy?” Paul said he froze for a moment, the woman looked embarrassed and he was thinking, ‘Oh God me again in an uncomfortable situation. This time it’s an innocent child’. Me: “Oh shit. So, what did you say?” Paul: I was feeling bad that I had to break this child’s heart, but I told him no.” Me: “That was a sad situation.” “Paul: “Yeah it was sad and embarrassing. His mother said sorry, but I told her it was okay. I got off when the train stopped. I couldn’t stay on that train. Me: The precious little one needs answers. A sad moment.

I am happy for my home town, Point Fortin. Area Hospital Point Fortin, Trinidad and Tobago is small and not equipped to handle seriously ill patients. Seriously ill patients used to be transferred to San Fernando General Hospital. Finally Point Fortin got a Hospital equipped for rehabilitation. Thanks to the PNM Government.
Have a wonderful safe Sunday I pray Psalm 119: He:33-40. Teach me, LORD, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end. Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared. Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good. How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life. Amen.

My ninety-sixth day of reading a chapter per day from the Holy Bible. I read in Leviticus about the cereal offering. Part of the recipe to make fry bake is the same as making the cereal offering. Leviticus 6:12-14. The LORD also said to Moses, “This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the LORD on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour for the establish cereal offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. It shall be well kneaded and fried in oil on a griddle when you bring it in. Having broken the offering into pieces, you shall present it as a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD.

People are getting hurt by fireworks but those brute beast are not stopping. Last night they did it a new way. They started at 10pm. It went on for about 15 minutes then it stopped so I fell asleep. At 11pm it started again for another 15 minutes. I fell asleep again but then woke up to an explosion at mid-night. My heart was racing and my head was hurting. The on the hour explosive moments ended after 2. I woke up at 7 this morning feeling as though I was at a raucous fete.

Men cheat and women cheat. Their cheating is for selfish reasons. But as the old Trinbago folks used to say, “Dey eh no dam’ good.” Cheaters tell lots of lies about their marital situation. When something signification happens to their outside partner that could cause a major problem in their marriage, they disown the outside partner. Now the partner who was giving their all, with hopes of gaining him or her completely is now left hanging.
