Today is the 73rd days since I started reading one chapter a day from my Bible. Exodus 23 reminds me of what is happening today but I know God is in charge. He is going to destroy the destroyer. Exodus 23:1-3. “You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness. You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit, siding with the many, so as to pervert justice, nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his lawsuit. Amen

I am writing this and my eyes are full. Black people are treated unjustly day in and day out. Wickedness, lies and deceit are perpetrated on us day by day. There seems to be no end in sight. I saw a video of a young boy being arrested. This child looked no more than 11, 12 or even younger. The police, handcuff him, put him on the ground then they put a plastic bag on his head. Covering his face. I cried because these brute beasts were suffocating this child. The video stopped and I went to bed teary, woke up this morning wondering about the child? Did he survive? God said, “Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty. Exodus 23:7

Enjoy your day and be safe. If someone pays you money, remember to count it in front of them to make sure you are both in agreement with the amount.

It takes me a while to trust anyone. Maybe I am wrong to put people to the test, but if my spirit feels troubled by your presence or by your words, I will be guarded. When we have a situation, I do not take their behavior to heart. I was prepared for them to show me their true colors.

This was one of my favorite Pointer Sisters songs until a guy tried to grind on me while we danced in a party.

I was black yesterday and you did not like me. I woke up today and I am still black. What makes you think that I believe you like me?

The real names of our people were destroyed during slavery. The last name of my forefathers was taken from them when they were brought to America and made slaves, and then the name of the slave master was given, which we refuse, we reject that name today and refuse it. I never acknowledge it whatsoever. Malcolm X (1925-1965)

Have a nice, safe and hygienic day. Remember; ‘You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain for the LORD will not leave unpunished him who talks his name in vain’. Exodus 20:7
