Woke up early

Struggled to the bathroom

Got dressed and ready for work... Its 40 miles away.

Had cereal and dashed into the car.

Haven't prayed for more than a minute (literally) in a while.

Today, something made me stay longer... and i loved it.

Engine running, mouth moving, heart meditating...

Done praying and started on my way.

Got on the highway and remembered I had to make a quick call.

Headset on, dialled number and started the gist...

Slow moving vehicle in front, indicated and moved... well almost.

Blaring horns, Car at top speed... Swerved a bit and zoomed past.

Me calm, still talking but heart thankful.

It almost happened but thank God it didn't.

Joke of the Day

Living Will Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, “I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependant on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.” She got up and unplugged the TV and threw out my beer. She’s such a bitch…

Does it matter

Does it matter that we're different ..of different background and culture Does matter that you are white Does it that I'm black Does it matter that you're taller or that you consider yourself finer Does it matter that you're richer Does it matter that you're poorer Does it matter? Does it make you feel good? Does it make you feel better I bet your blood is white too or maybe black I bet you have two hearts too..isn't it so? Does it matter that you're you And I'm me Can't we just be friends or at least tolerate each other See the sky...it's wide enough for all the birds the Maker created To fly without them getting in each others way See this world It's big enough... For you and me to do our things without hating on each other. Now i'm not saying you should like me but can't you just ignore me I'm not soliciting you love the world, but you don't have to hate it either
