Grateful in 2012 - Welcoming 2013

2012 brought several changes for me ; I secured fulltime employment, moved to a larger apartment, and bought a new car.  Life is a little  more stable now.  I look forward to continuing growing in my walk with the Lord; as well as continuing my education and forging a life for myself here in SanAntonio.  Blessings to all who read my blog !

Up Up and Away

I will be in Detroit July 21 - 23, this year.  I'm going to pull some of my things out of storage and ship them to San Antonio; since I'll be moving into my new apartment that is almost twice the size of where I'm living now.  Hope to see a few people while I'm there.

12 Days of Christmas

Merry Christmas to my family and friends.  Service was wonderful.  Bishop explained the true meaning of the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas". It originated in England around the 16th century.  Christians were being persecuted if they publicly declared or in anyway displayed thier faith. Each verse was a code representing a doctrinal point or belief. Christ's birth was celebrated from December 25th to January 5th.  Bishop ended the message reminding us that we live in a time and place were our christianity isn't and shouldn't be hid.  It is Merry Christmas !!!!!

Hello Detroit




Although my trip to Detroit was for business, I was able to have some leisure time.  Special thanks to my daughters Dayna and Camille for making the whole thing happen for me.  It was also good to see my brother Vince, sister-in-law Anita and thier children.  My thanks also to Anita's parents who live on Harsen's Island for taking out on their boat.  It was even good to see Belle Isle and downtown Detroit water front again.  Also, thanks to my buddy Donita for treating me to Sunday brunch at one of my favorite restaurants downtown - Fishbones !
