No matter where you are in the world, old or young, rich or poor, there’s a mental escape that is constant; Music. I’ll admit I’m a self-proclaimed music junkie with over 20 GBs of greatness. I have a song for every feeling that I’ve allowed myself to willingly experience. 22 years down the line and I’m still amazed how when you can’t find the words to express exactly how you feel, there’s a song that can do just that. No matter what you may be going through, there’s always that one album or song that can change your mood instantly. You press play, close your eyes, and get lost in the music. Bob Marley said it best, “When the music hits, you feel no pain.”

Although today is Sunday, it's officially my "Saturday". I've been laying in bed for the past 3 hours just enjoying my "weekend".

Today's feel good jam is Lenny Williams - Because I Love You. Enjoy your Sunday, blessed and be blessed folks.

1 Corinthians 13

The Way of Love

13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things 8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known 13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Judgement of Character

My ability to judge someones’ character has fluctuated throughout the years. I use to think that everyone was kind-hearted, was honest, and genuine.

Then I ran across some individuals who broke my trust, didn’t have my best interest at heart, and had alterior motives for their association with me.

Then I didn’t trust anyone and believed that if people were being nice to me, they wanted something.

Now in present time I’m a little of column A and a little of column B. I don’t trust too easily, but I’m not completely closed-minded either. I guess it’s situational..

but you know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Survival of the fittest, bet that.
