* Chic Chemistry*

Hey Peeps!

My numbers are flying high on the counter and I\’m loving it, at least somebody enjoys sharing this crazy mind of mines.

This is Chemistry week for me. And I\’m just loving and playing that Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye song over and over and over again * in my last entry*. I love a couple with great chemistry. So guess what I found surfing the web? Many, many photo shots of Taraji and Tyler. They look soooooo cute together….OMG. Even though its for the movie, they look good!! Hmmmm I wonder if she\’s single. He\’s my boy and she\’s my gurl. I love the photos.

Work was cool today. I had a headache, just trying to make it through the day and I did. Thank you Jesus for that. When I got home my sister was here, and then my other sister came over and we watch Biography it was good.

As you may know today was my first day trying this weight loss thingy again. I started exercising yesterday, and did good. Today I did the same ones, I\’m keeping track of them. I drank 40 oz of water and I ate breakfast. Eating breakfast is a biggie for me. I hate eating early in the morning. But its not that bad I see. I was working and zoning out thinking about myself. I\’m 41 and people look at me thinking I\’m 27. While I love that…….this weight is killing me. I have the *bomb shape* under this fat, and I want it back. There is no reason for me to be this over weight. I\’m sick and tired of it. I have to give up what I love most and sacrifice. I do good drinking a lot of water, and also walking which is my favorite thing to do. I love to walk. I walked the Brooklyn Bridge when I went to New York with some friends. The whole Bridge!! Yeah tell me I ain\’t a bad sista! So that\’s where I am right now in my life. If I post some photos of me at 27 yall would be like NAW, NAW CREE tell me you didn\’t gain that much weight? And the tripped out part about it is, my waist is soooo small. And then comes all these thighs. lol. You can set a plate of dishes on this behind and it won\’t fall off!! Lord help me. LOL Imma get it together. My legs are sore for working out tonight. Tomorrow I\’m going to do them just before work. I\’m trying to change the way I think. I can get into a mode and do things that way for a long time. Dr. Phil said changing the way you think is one of his keys. So guess what I did tonight before coming home? I shopped around Walmart and bought some of the things I need like mouthwash, toothpaste, smell goods . Well, I switched up and bought new fragrances. Yall should have seen me wanting to put them back and get what I normally get. But I didn\’t, and I\’m so happy. That\’s a start for me. Somebody pray for my strength and will power to lose this weight. If I can get up the nerve to post a video of myself I will. I know for sure that when I lose it, I am going to wish I did show footage. Keep me in your prayers okay?

The song below is one of my excercise songs. Its # 33 on my iPod

Well, I gotta punch a clock tomorrow. Good Night!

*Tammi Terrell*,Dr. Phil, Cree*

Thank you Lord! Today I was slow getting outta bed. I was kinda depressed or tired I dunno. I never sleep in the bed late, today it was after 3pm when I got outta bed. What got me up and moving was when my boy Dr. Phil came on. I love him. He is so honest and he means well. He\’s another person people just don\’t get. I think some people like to be lied too. N.E. way……. I was watching the show and they were talking about weight loss. Just what Ive been thinking about and probably feeling depressed. I jumped outta bed, wrote down goals, went on line and signed up with the people he had on his show today. I did the thang here at home. Even started my exercises. See I started a weight loss group on line with 22 people, and I lost 23 pounds……and gained all by 2 pounds back. After a while we all started losing interest and that was it. We were doing so well. Anyway….ain\’t gonna cry ova spilled milk. I\’m just ready to get started again. I learned a lot from when I lost the first time…… a whole lot. For me its about portions and being conscience of what I eat. I\’m excited, the more I participate, the better it is for me.

Neisha got me geeked on Wikipedia. I found out a lot about people on that site. Some very interesting facts as well. Every Wednesday night I\’m going to feature a new person. This week\’s person is Tammi Terrell. I just love her voice, and I had heard so many different stories on how she died. I\’m closing for now, take care, and Cree will talk to you all tomorrow.

As a teenager she recorded for the Scepter/Wand, Try Me and Checker record labels. She signed with Motown in 1965 and enjoyed modest success as a solo singer. Once she was paired with Gaye in 1967, her stardom grew, but later that year she collapsed on stage into Gaye\’s arms during a performance. She was then diagnosed with a brain tumor which eventually led to her death at the age of only 24.

[edit] Biography

[edit] Early years

Tammi Terrell in her early years.

Born Thomasina Winifred Montgomery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she entered the music business at the age of 13, regularly performing live. In 1961 she was signed to the fledgling Scepter Records (later Wand Records), recording under the name \”Tammy Montgomery\”. After coming to the attention of James Brown she recorded one single apiece for Brown\’s own Try Me record label and, in 1964, Checker Records. The year after that, she was spotted by Berry Gordy Jr. while playing live, and signed to his Motown label. Attractive and talented, she became romantically linked with both James Brown and David Ruffin, who was in the award winning group The Temptations.

[edit] Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

Initially Terrell recorded solo, with only moderate success (she had a pair of R&B Top 30 singles in 1966, \”I Can\’t Believe You Love Me\” and \”Come on and See Me\”) . However, from 1967 onwards she recorded a series of duets with Marvin Gaye, producing hits with Ashford & Simpson written tunes such as \”Ain\’t No Mountain High Enough\”, \”Ain\’t Nothing Like the Real Thing\” and \”You\’re All I Need to Get By\”.

However, Terrell\’s success was to be short-lived. On October 14, 1967, while in concert at the homecoming for Hampden-Sydney College, Virginia, outside of Farmville. she collapsed in Gaye\’s arms. She was rushed to the hospital, she was later diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. From then on her health deteriorated. Gaye later told his biographer David Ritz that Terrell was no longer able to record and that Valerie Simpson recorded most of the female vocals on the final Gaye/Terrell duet album, Easy. (Simpson is quoted as denying this in a book written by Terrell\’s sister Ludie Montgomery.)

[edit] Death and aftermath

Terrell died on March 16, 1970 at the age o
f only 24. Marvin Gaye reacted to her death by taking a two year hiatus from concert performance and went into self-isolation. In addition, in 1971 Gaye\’s classic album What\’s Going On, an introspective, low-key work which dealt with mature themes, was in part a reaction to Terrell\’s death[1].

*Lacrease\’s Ramblings*

Whats\’ up!!!

Thank you Jesus for waking me up this morning. Thank you for such a beautiful day.

This morning my best friend Charlene called me at 9 ish to make sure that we were still going to see Tyler Perry\’s movie. I saw it 2 times already, but it was her first time. One thing I learned today was that going in the mornings is so much betta. There were a lot of older people there, and it was packed too. I just minus well face it, I can\’t deal with those young kids in the show anymore. Yeah, yeah I know I use to be one of them walking in talking, laughing, and stuff. I can\’t deal with that no more. LOL I took my mom this past Saturday and we were doing fine before the lights went down, as soon as they did, 2 teenage couples sat behind us. The guys weren\’t talking that much, it was the dogone gurls. My momma blocked them out, because she\’s used to blocking out kids * it was 4 of us growing up* but they were getting on nerves. I\’m sitting there, making all kinds of mouth noises like huuhhhhhhhhhh, OMGOODNESS I CANT HEAR, we ain\’t coming here no more MOMMA, dang I can\’t even hear the movie OUTBURST. Till finally the Virgo in me was dying to come out. Begging me. I finally turned around , with my teeth shinning in the dark like flash lights, and gave them this look lolllllllllll and said \” Can yall Please, Please let us hear the movie\”? They said at the same time * yes ma\’am*. ROFL! Dayum kids!!! Guess what goes around comes around huh? *That\’s what I get for doing the same things once in my life.*

My best friend loves her some Tyler Perry just as I do. She\’s married for 13 years and love the mess outta her *Tyler Perry looking Husband*. He favors Tyler so much its funny. Her husband is 8 days older than Tyler, he\’s a workaholic, sweet as pie, very attentive, ask lots of questions, and has that thickness. Oh speaking of thickness. OOOOOOOweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee we couldn\’t stop talking about Tyler\’s thighs in the car!! I use to date this guy who had thighs like Tyler\’s. I love a man with thick thighs. I told my one friend years ago, if you ever ever ever, ever, ever, ever, ever lose your stomach, goatee and thighs, WE ARE THROUGH! You can be thick and still healthy…..boy don\’t play!!! He would say Cree you crazy!! I meant that, LOL LOL knew it. I just wanted to reach into the movie and cuff one of those babies. LOL LOL!

Yall pray for me. Tyler says that with the fame comes fans, and people acting crazy, climblng fences and thangs and. I agree. There are some people who off the chain. But with him comes the Media. I\’m a huge fan of his, and blogs ever a movie comes out I battle with my fingers not to * go off in those people blogs*. Sometimes I can over do it when I\’m trying to get people to see my point.They sit back and wait on Tyler\’s movies and then they have a field day on him. Its unreal to me how they write about him. So with Tyler Perry also comes some things. There are a lot of fans who read the articles and feel the same way. I said that I was going to read only the positive ones, and if not, I was going to click out of it. That\’s foolishness to me, and I\’m not going to be bothered.

And were moving right along………..

When I got home from dropping my best friend off at home from seeing the movie, we talked on the phone for hours about being married. I just love and admire her. I love how she loves her husband. She respects him, she loves him, she adores him. Its hard on her tho, because he drives a truck to different states, and she knows that I\’m that friend that\’s going to make sure she stays on track. I know she gets lonely for him, but see I know what its like to be single. I wish I had a husband, so I\’m living and learning through her eyes about marriage. I always said that when I do get married * if its the Lord\’s will* that the #1 thing will be communication. I see a lot of marriages fall apart because they don\’t talk. How can you even go to bed when you and your husband are not talking? I need peace in my house. I wont even be able to sleep. lol I\’m touchy feely too, so he must be as well. There is nothing like a good touch of a man. That\’s very important to me. I love a man who wears good Cologne. That just does something to me for real. When my best friend got married, she always said that he reminds her of me and till this day. He\’s a Virgo and he\’s a sensitive man. Our feelings can easily be hurt. In my early 20\’s I use to be so insecure. I don\’t even see how Neisha\’s dad dealt with me. OMGoodness. I think back on those days and just shake my head. LOL I desire the kinda man where if he\’s way on one side of the room, and I\’m on another, that I wont get jealous. I wont have to run behind him wondering *what you doing ova here*. I can\’t live like that. I\’m not a needy person. I gotta talk to my boo daily tho when he\’s away from home. But all that *what you doing* every hour stuff, I don\’t require. I know me. I love my space, he has got to have his. When my gurls come over, we will have our space, and he will have his for his boys. Then we have our separate rooms for our office, and oh yessssssssss we will have a family room.

You know when you get older and you start looking at whats important, you don\’t care about all that arguing and falling out. I cant live my life like that. If I\’m wrong about something, its sooo much easier for me to apologize and say boo I\’m sorry…..lets make up and forget about that mess, lets talk about it. I love you. Back in the day shoooooooooo, bump that LOL I wouldnt talk for at least 4 days. Don\’t touch me, don\’t call me, don\’t come over. LOL SMH @ myself. I always like to see what the other person like and feel about a certain situation. And I would want him to do the same for me. Ladies love your husbands, men love your wives.

Watch the videos below…talking about some good music!!! OOO wee!

This is bad chick. This the kinda music I LOVE.

Love ya, Cree

*Empathy*

Hey,

Thank you Lord for waking me this morning and starting me on my way. Thank you for keeping my family and friends safe. Thank you for showing me who I am. I can\’t say that enough. I don\’t care how right I seem to myself, you always show me when I\’m wrong, and I just love you for that.

Today was one of those days where I\’m in the house looking * ugly*, thinking, and wondering what in the world is wrong with me? I have those days sometimes, when I\’m just too connected to people. Gosh I hate that. Sometimes I wish I could be one of those people that say * oh well too bad for them*. I\’m just not that way. As a matter of fact, let me share what I found out about myself.

I was going through my manual for my Teens group for ideas and work sheets, when I came across the word Empathy. I had heard the word many times before and known it had to do with an emotion, but I never really gave it any thought.

Empathy means: That you can sense, identify with, and understand what another person is feeling. You can almost get inside the person\’s head and heart. You have a shared communion with him or her. If you have empathy, you have compassion for others.

Empathy is the capacity to recognize or understand another\’s state of mind or emotion. It is often characterized as the ability to \”put oneself into another\’s shoes\”, or to in some way experience the outlook or emotions of another being within oneself.

So when I read it, I was just blown away. All of these years and I was wondering what in the world is wrong with me? Why do I cry when someone is talking to me, and they are telling me something that happened * to them*.? Just today, my best friend called me and told me about her friends wedding on yesterday. She was her Matron of Honor and the Bride was so nervous that she was dis taught. As my best friend was explaining every emotion there is for a Bride, in the middle of no where…….. I breaks out and start crying. WTH? Now at this time, I realized that God has given me a triple dose of Empathy, and so I start to clear up my face. I mean I was visualizing every WORD she was saying. After a few minutes I had to push the mute button on my phone, that\’s when my best friend couldn\’t hear me anymore, she said Lacrease Walker, I know you ain\’t crying? She already know! LOL I told her the truth, and asked myself……..gurl what is wrong with you? You were not there, you did not witness this situation, why are you crying? I didn\’t come up with an answer, but I got on line and took an Empathy Test. Are you ready for my results?

Your score: 68
0 – 32 = low (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20)
33 – 52 = average (most women score about 47 and most men score about 42)
53 – 63 is above average
64 – 80 is very high
80 is maximum

So then I took another test. Here are those results.

Your result for The Empathy Test …

The Kind Heart

19 Empathy!

Congratulations. You know that by helping other people, you really do make the world a better place for them AND for you! You know what it feels like to put your feet in someone else\’s shoes. Be careful not to let others take advantage of you, though; not everyone is as kind-hearted as you. Otherwise, keep up the good work!

I can be in a movie, watching it, and as soon a song come on, my mind starts to put the scene together with the music, and bam……crying like a dogone baby.This middle age white lady and her mother came through my line one day, the lady was hollering so bad at her mother, it was a shame. I love kids,teens and old people. When she did that I was so mad at her, I just bust out and started crying. Now I know why I\’m this way. Someone could be talking to me and need ministering too, once I hear their story and begin to picture it, oh my goodness, its over. That visual makes me cry. And here I\’m thinking to myself * gurl if you don\’t clear up your face while this lady tell her story*. LOL I\’m suppose to be ministering to someone and here I am crying more than they are about their own story. What kind of stuff is that?

For this last past week or so, I\’m trying to not be so connected with people. Now that I know about my gift a little deeper. I realized that when I give heavy eye contact, I become deeply connected to them. So now when I scan their items, I look away more quickly and then talk to them looking up once, and then as they are exiting my line. I can read body language, facial expression, voice tone everything. That\’s a huge deal to me. I gotta stop this. LOL Once we lock eyes, I GOTCHA, I\’m the spider and your the fly! If Neisha has something to tell me, and she knows Imma cry about it, she\’ll say…….. momma I got something to tell you and don\’t cry okaaaay? LOL

Even tho me and Neisha were born on the same day, we are so different. She is more the person that WONT cry, she will sit with you, comfort you, show the best hospitality, and ask questions to come up to a solution. Ill do that as well, but first I gotta get my cry out with the person. hehehe. Anyway, I can finally rest that nothing is wrong with me, I just got doused with a triple dose of Empathy and there is nothing I can do about it. When I learn to use it without crying all the time, I am going to be one powerful Sister. Can you imagine how many people I can relate too? Now I know why so many people come to me for advice, and conversation. Now I know!! Now I know why. Sometimes I feel like:

Everything is good.

Guess what? Ive been at Walmart for 5 years, and guess what they\’ve announce this year for OUR store? To be open on Thanksgiving!!! I said to myself……yall got thatgurltheycallCree messed up!! That is disrespectful to the employees, and the customers. From what I hear, they are taking volunteers first, then they are putting you on the schedule. Well, Ive been there for 5 years and I have never been wrote up for my attendance, I have been called to the office for a warning, and that was it. Lets just say that\’s the end of this conversation.

I\’m gone to bed, gotta get up and go to work at 8:30. Then I have the next 2 days off. Yea, I gotta focus on me right now. I\’m going to share that this week what I\’m talking about………its a good thing too.

September 13, 2008 Tyler Perry Weekend!

Hey, hey hey!

First, let me say Thank you Jesus for waking me up at 4:00am this morning to pray. Wow you haven\’t done that in a while. Thank you for watching me sleep at night, and for waking me up to do that job. I admire you Lord, I adore you. I just want to look at you, kiss you, and for some silly reason….. smell your neck. Thank you for such a beautiful day. Thank you for life lessons that I wake up to daily. I love to learn, listen and love people. Thank you for my growth. I see it Lord, and I Thank you for showing me YOU.

Today my Maxwell ticket came in the mail, and it was SOAK AND WET. Its raining cats and dogs here. Yall know I was mad right? LOL It is funny tho, aint gon be funny if they scan my ticket and it won\’t go through. I know my Virgo self aint gonna stop thinking about it until I call TICKETMASTER on Monday. Its dry now but still.

Well, starting tonight Im doing a 3 part story on Tyler Perry. The Media, The Man, The Movie. Without further due, here is part 1.

The Media

Its fair to say * to me anyway* lol that I\’m one of Tyler\’s biggest Cheerleaders/Fan/Admirer. I absolutely adore and admire this man. But one thing that comes along with him is *The Media*.

Every time a movie comes out I get an instant headache, reading the critics/bloggers columns on his movies. I have a google alert for him, and no doubt my mailbox is always full. I\’m normally the kinda person who really doesn\’t care what anyone has to say about anything as long as I love it. But with them its different. Yesterday I had to beg God to make me close out this one article I read before I ripped into the writer raw. So, I sat at my desk and asked myself, why is it that you get upset when the writers /bloggers criticize his movies?

I realized that I, Lacrease wake up daily to learn. I love to learn. If I go to the store and buy some chewing gum, I will come out of that store learning that the store doesn\’t open on Sundays. That\’s just the type of person I am. I love to learn. No one is like Lacrease. I may not get a lot of things on the spot, but I bet you…….it\’ll come to me. I say all of that to say. I feel sorry for them. When these critics and bloggers go to a Tyler Perry movie, the first thing they want to know is why does Tyler Perry always have his name in front of all his movie title? Please let me answer that one. Please! Because he dayum wants too! That\’s why. There is nothing else to say after that. Its because he can! He did! How somebody gon ask you, how come you put your name in front of your movies? I have my name spelled out on my License plate. I will never ever as long as I live have numbers as my license plate. That\’s my business. That\’s how I want it. I\’m happy to be grown to do things my way. Those same people who have something to say about Tyler putting his name in front of his movies, are somewhere doing them………..OR SOMEBODY ELSE…………..as usual!

How is it that those same people can go to a movie and not come out with a lesson learned? These clowns don\’t get it. And I\’m reading saying to myself are they slow, or dumb? What is it? Hollywood got them so messed up they believe that they are suppose to go see a movie and be entertained all the time. I\’m sorry but ummmm, I don\’t want to go see a movie and laugh all the time. I wanna get something from it. When I get in my car and drive off from the theater, I want to reflect on that movie and say….. WOW I got that!!!!!

Not these people.They want to laugh, and leave the movies just like they came!

I went to see Tyler\’s movie Thursday night Friday morning at the 12:01 midnight showing here in Detroit. I loved it. Later that day * Friday Sept 12* after work, I opened up my mailbox…..OMGOODNESS. I had so many google alerts on Tyler. LOL They just don\’t get it. And you know what? After I read about 12 or so, I had to stop myself because I was getting upset and had to take an Advil. I realized that these bloggers and critics have seen themselves or someone they know in this movie and they are just not ready *to dance* to deal with this kinda story line. When you see THIS kinda movie you are forced to see yourself, your family member, or a close friend on the screen. FORCED! The good part about that is, he will write in a solution for you. And if they are not a person who prays often or have a relationship with God, then critics/bloggers will have a lot of negative things to say. They see themselves, their uncles, brothers, bosses on the screen and they don\’t know how to deal with it.

They don\’t understand Tyler, and I now know that after seeing the movie 2 times. His work is foreign to them. They need constant Entertainment. Tyler is leading people to God, and if they\’re not in that place at that time to see it, they\’ll miss it. Tyler is moving right along, and when its all said and done.. Tyler\’s work will cross their paths, some will reach for the life jacket, others will continue to stay behind. Its all up to them. Lacrease can no longer get upset when they write negative things about her friend. That\’s just the way it is.

I\’m also tripping on the number of screens that Tyler\’s movie is playing on. I\’m still trying to understand why his movie is playing on less screens than Brad Pitt and Jada Picket movie. Then when the numbers are read for the weekend, they get mad when Tyler beat the * name brand* folks out. If they all started out with the same amount of screens, Tyler would put a chock hold on everybody. And they know it. But that\’s okay too, because in not one article did they mention that fact. I have come to realize that it is what it is. And its okay.

Good Night!

Hey good people!

Hey good people!!!

Cree is in the house!!! LOL When I walk into my job in the mornings * I\’ll holla out….. Credog is here yall! And everybody would say heeeeeeeeeeeeeey Cree!! LOL I love to laugh and have fun.

I had a good weekend. Me and Neisha spent it together. We went to the movies yesterday to see Dark Knight. It was good, but heck I\’m slow sometimes. I need a remote to stop the movie on parts, so I can ask the people around me * What the hell had happened*? That\’s one movie I didn\’t get. Too much stuff was going on. My mind was scribble scrabble, like some kids been coloring in my head. When I got up, I asked my daughter gurl what was that about? We started cracking up.

I kept saying to myself, this thang …..* the joker* stirred up all this commotion and didn\’t have power the first……..to fly. But that goes to show you. Satan is everywhere doing what he can, back stabbing, causing discord, and everythang else. When I see a movie, I\’m gonna walk away with something, and that was it for me.

My cousin is here from Alabama, it was so good to see her. She\’s leaving tomorrow. Wow time has really came and gone.

Neisha went back home tonight * campus*, and its back to work for me in the morning, which is why I need to get off this computer. Ive been completing lessons for my teens. I\’m even writing a play for them to act out, to show how to treat others even when you don\’t know anything about them. Lawd, help me on that, it was your idea. LOL Thanks.

I made a good dinner today. String beans with white potatoes, corn bread, some fried chicken and MY favorite…….. grape kool-aid. I bought some collard greens too, but that\’s for later on this week. Neisha was just saying today…. momma you use to cook all the time….and I finished her off by saying….yep …….now its *go for what you know* ! LOL I love that gurl!

Well, I\’m on my way to bed. I sure wish that I was disciplined like Tyler Perry. He gets up at 5am to work out and stuff. Shoo at that time, my body got ME trained……hinting, you BET NOT wake me up that time of morning talking bout no…… lets walk. LOL But seriously, I do. I need to walk. And its my favorite excercise. Goodness why am I so lazy in that area? Maybe if I had some one to call me and say Lacrease, you up? Lets do these walks together…. . I really think I would be able to do it. I just need a little push.

Aiight, here is one of my favorite songs from the Tyler Perry Play Collection. I wish he would do a MOVIE for this one. This is my 2nd best play from him. At the 2:45 mark, I just cry, cry, cry.cry. This gurl killed this song. I know Tyler was proud of her. I wonder what she\’s up too? Aiight without further due:

A concert ticket, a scam, and The Family That Preys!

Today was a good day for me. Thank you Jesus. I got up and called in to work. LOL I was only scheduled for 4 hours so I decided to make today my rip and run day. Plus I did something I have been waiting to do. Ill tell yall later.
As some of you may know * since its all over the news* including Essence Magazine. My Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick resigned yesterday. I was at work when he was in court, but just so happened it was lunch time for me and I watched the preceding LIVE for an hour. I was very happy that he did that. I know it may have been hard to do, but the city needed it, the people and his wife and kids the most. My heart went out to her as she held him with this look on her face, and tears in her eyes. But it is what it is, and let me say this.
Now that the Mayor has resigned, and too all the people who keep talking about it, and still trying to bring him down…. they are messing with God now. Once he admitted his guilt to God, the people and his family, that\’s a wrap. He don\’t owe anyone anything. Its time to move on. If I was him I would move so far out of the city, and when I return….. I would be a totally new person. One thing he did say, that I was really loving, he said this has bought him and his wife closer than they have ever been before. Maybe it was God\’s way of saying, hey, she loves you, and you need to know what you have. Who knows what this was about God. But please believe me when I say…God is in the midst.
During the resignation speech, he and his wife looked so peaceful, and so excited that this is behind them. I was LOVING IT. And see these are not people who are saying… Oh God come into my life. God has always been there lives they are Christians, the sin separates us from him. And so to those who don\’t know about God, you can see God resting on them in the press room. I was in awe. Its so sad that some didn\’t even recognize it. All I know is, to all those that still have something to say…..they are going to be re-directed to God. Yes, I do agree that he should pay for everything that he has done. Everything!!! But at that same time, he apologized to everyone for his mistakes, people need to let him do his time, pay the $1,000,000, resign, and regroup. Those days and nights in jail will be a time for him to see God face to face. That will be a time where he can build a even stronger relationship with him. This will be a time for healing for all of us. I\’m just excited to see what God is going to do through him when this is all over in the years to come. Wanna see God…… watch Kwame Kilpatrick!!!
Here is a link to the resignation speech he held just after pleading guilty. Click here: Video
This morning I had to call in because I had to go and renew my plates. My BD was Sept 3, and I didn\’t want to drive my car with bogus plates. Plus…… Maxwell tickets went on sale this morning @ 10:am!! Yep, and I will be sitting in the 4Th row from the stage. So I end up paying a total of $103.00 for my ticket on line this morning. I asked about 3 people and they talking about buy my ticket and I\’ll pay you back. I SAID AT $103.00 GURL BYE! You won\’t be going to this concert!!! LOL Shoo my momma bought me this ticket as my BD gift. Even if I was paying out of my own pocket, I ain\’t bout to come up with $306.00 for nobody!! I had to pay my cable bill, phone bill, lights, gas, $200.00 for my cruise, food, insurance, and a coupla otha thangs. So I guess I\’ll be doing a solo………….and to see my baby Maxwell whom Ive been waiting on for years, and years, and years…… to come to Detroit……oh well. I don\’t like to talk through plays or concerts anyway.
This evening I also purchased 2 tickets to see Tyler Perry\’s The Family that Preys for that Thursday night at a special late night showing. I know its going to be sold out, so I bought ours on line. I know me, I will be going back to see it with my mom that Sat, and with my gurls that Sunday. So as usual I will have a jammed packed Tyler Perry weekend. So make sure you all go out and support him on OPENING WEEKEND. The numbers on the first weekend SAYS A LOT!
I want to share a story with you all. Read carefully.
My good friend called to wish me and Happy Birthday* Sept 3* and she was telling me how God has really blessed her with this job paying really well being a secret shopper, and this is how it goes. They send her a check for a certain amount, normally over $3,000.00, she would take it to HER bank to deposit it, the bank will hold the check for 4-5 days. If she have enough in her account to cover it, she can get the money on the spot. She would get the money, take out her portion, and then send the rest * about $3500.00 to a Money Gram or Western Union, to someone in Canada.If your last name is Thomas, they will tell you to tell * Walmart* that you are sending this to your relative, and that person will use your last name as the person receiving. In Canada they don\’t have to show ID to collect Money Grams. We do here in United States. This is a scam!!!
She called her bank today and they said it didn\’t clear, and she wanted to know why * not knowing it was a scam*, they couldn\’t tell her. Then she had a flash back of what I told her about this when she told me about it. I work for Walmart I knew it was a scam. we weren\’t for sure, so she\’s going to her bank on Monday to report it.I hope they don\’t look at her like this…. They even froze her account.It just goes to show you how gullible we can be sometimes. Especially in hard times, anything sounds good. If it doesn\’t seem right in your Spirit….chances are its not.
So, I went on line just tonight and looked it up for myself. And OMG. Please read this for yourself. Click Below. These stories will give you chills. Be ware people!
Aiight, I\’m gone to do some work in my home office. I will talk to you all later.
