To Those Whom I Acknowledge.
Too bad for those who wait to see what happens. I often receive so-called inspirational emails speaking toward what we should already be collectively. I'm frankly disappointed at the re-revelations from some as if nothing ever occurred among human-kind. What I was inspired to say some months ago, and now write, is:
Whatever you do, Prosper;
Wherever you go, Be Safe;
Whomever you're with, Be Real!
We are all catalysts in the Mission - not the making of it!
So, Make is So, and kindly stop procrastinating under the veil of protecting yourself behind a pre-fabricated fence that will topple when you least expect it. Some blind-copied here are not guilty of this (you know who you are). Others clearly are guilty and trying their dambdest to rid that misfortune from themselves at anyone's expense. You too know who you are too. I speak with Authority, since I have committed every sin up to, yet not including, blaspheming the very Spirit of God Himself. That's the past... yet the Good News is that I'm forgiven of those sins - others have yet to even forgive themselves, let alone approach the very Throne whereupon I bow in reverence. I do so (bow) by prayer, and not arrogance.
I’ve come to learn over the span/years of living “with skin,” is that there’s more to each of us than can be imagined. It is not a conundrum for me; but rather an opportunity for each and everyone to acknowledge each other when time and circumstances allow and reveal solutions toward silence and Awe for the One Revealed.
On this Day, I acknowledge a Gift from On High to me. Her name is Rosemarie. This Lady has more dignity than all of the divas I’ve known in the past. Rosemarie improves me beyond my expectations. On this Day, I recognize and honor Rosemarie’s Birthday, as the person and Gift she is. May her birthday be a day of new birth for some reading here...
May my words, and music, exemplify my expression to her first; then to you All abroad as broadcasted. May these expressions Encourage you too in your quest seeking Purpose for your lives – as if you don’t know it already. I know mine – both Vertically and horizontally, among us with skin and the dead. I must say that God's Spirit prompts me to echo His sentiments, not mine. Remember: I said Rosemarie is a Gift toward my personal gain - not a greed to gregariousness. Find your own - she's out there. Look for her. Pray for her - you'll find her.
May your Lives be enriched by humility, and honoring others more highly than yourself. Just know those among whom you Labor and submit to. As with me, I’ve been given a Miracle with skin. I am a good Steward of impartation to my life, as I’ve sought (with much pain and frustration) to be a good servant to those yet learning this Principle.
In my early days becoming a mainstream drummer and musician among veteran (and commercially released) Artists, I was privileged to work with the late Donny Hathaway. Donny would sometimes call for the tune “Nu-Po” among the song list from time to time when we were on stage together. This is the officially released version of that tune, LIVE at Carnegie Hall. I tremble at the reasons why Atlantic Records withheld this song from 1973 until 2004, within their treasures (coffins/coffers) without enriching the lives of what we now know as “the new poor.”
Though appearing as a metaphor, this reticence is more indicative of what we in the 21st Century are experiencing as human kind’s inability to manage ourselves among each other. They’ve taken prayer out of the schools and introduced “secular humanism.” They’ve reduced “In God We Trust” from a spiritual reality to the American dollar and a landscape where we trust in ourselves as gods.
They’ve relegated prudent Justice and Wisdom to the wisdom and jurisprudence of human kind without God! They are trying to reduce us to “insensitivity,” when all the while I’m heightened [even exalted] to a level of what agape and phileo Love is all about. Donny Hathaway understood this and was perplexed by it; but was caught up in a miasmic maelstrom of music industry behavioral templates and temperaments.
Not me… hence, here is the “New Poor:” those famished in spirit, but expectant of Eternity and Greater Things than any man or woman can provide. Then there are those who only desire the fishes and loaves.
Either way, Glory be to the Father's Spirit Inspiring this song! Donny is asleep in Abraham’s bosom wherein no ‘man’ can span the gap. Donny's simply asleep and not “looking down on us and smiling” as those improperly taught are repeating these days. Pay attention and believe what you read in the Scriptures/Bible folks; and as the Thessalonians, check to see if what is being said to you is SO!
"And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
These [Jews]were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Therefore many of them believed; also of honorable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few."
[Acts 17:10-12 – The Holy Bible embracing All of Mankind under the Blood of Jesus: a “Jew" is one who praises the Father Jehovah (YWHW), and not one among the many “races/ethnicities” existing today through millennia of miscegenation and religious beliefs that have made the Word of YWHW of no effect or results. Judaism is a "faith," NOT a race of people.]
So don't kill the messenger. Take your complaint to the Throne and while checking to see wherein your Faith really rests, and upon whom you rely! Now that’s the interrogative!!! Enjoy your Journey in the Process.

Now to Rosemarie!
“Today is Rosemarie's Birthday!
She's my Bouncing 60 year old Baby! LoL!
Rosemarie is the Fragrance of my Life and Future!
I Love Her, as the evidence (with Skin) that God does
Answer Prayer in a tangible manner.

Frankly, I feel compassion for those who have said in their heart “there is no God.” How can anyone’s ignorance dispel my experience with the same Being and Divinity denied by others?
I know My Father, and his Son Christ Jesus. Yet my feet are so firmly planted on solid ground that even His Spirit speaks to me in ways available to anyone. Go figure, and make Him Ready for yourself.
Nuff said on my part. I only wish to contribute toward the reconciliation of differences in diversity. This is how I “create” music like I do from a drummer’s perspective (however frustrated I am at my keyboard inabilities). By mine own hand is offered my tune for your peace and encouragement:

[Not Orwellian, but Susswellian! October 30, 2009; this is 180 degrees in opposition to the atheist author's much quoted:]
