Hey!

I have been waiting for this trailer to drop, and now its here. Enjoy!

Cree

Thank you Lord for waking me up this morning. That dream I had telling me its time to wake up was soooo funny. No one but you can cause such a dream as that. Thank you.

* A Moments Thought*

In this entry I want to talk about honesty, being upfront, lying. Well to sum it up TRUTHFULNESS!

There are a lot of people who are not upfront and honest when it comes to communicating something to someone. Are we afraid of rejection? Are we afraid we are going to get squeezed out of a situation? Are we afraid of what others will think about us? What is it because I truly need to know.

Im not going to sit here and type this as if to mean that I have always been honest and upfront. I catch myself lying, and in the process I ask myself why are you saying this? First of all in order for you to be taken seriously you have to learn and understand that what ever the reason you are lying, you have to know no one can take your truth away from you. In this world * communication is everything*. People look at your *Credit History* when dealing with you. People want to know if you are trust worthy or if your just a person who is just trying to get by. It means a lot when you are a person that is honest and take it seriously. People shouldnt have to guess at what kind of person you are especially if its not the first time they are dealing with you. If you are known for lying, please understand you wont be called to the * witness* stand. If you are a person of honor, the truth will set you free. Make a choice to be an honest and trust worthy person today. Clean off your * Credit Report* with God and the people, and watch the blessings flow.

*Running off at the mouth*

I was watching the news today and saw the tape of what Rev. Jesse Jackson said. He was wrong wrong wrong. I don\’t care if the mike was on or off, he had no business not only thinking about someone\’s *nuts* being cut/pulled off, but he needed another Spirit * to tell it too* . He knows all to well of the postition Obama is in, Rev. Jackson needs to be ashamed of himself. Now he has to go back and re build credit with the people in order to Minister to them. Running off at the mouth like he did put him in that postion. Why would anyone want to listen to what he has to say now after this? I mean for real. Then we say : Blacks need to stick together. How bout we need to shut the heck up sometimes. We go from Suga to sh@@ on our own accord!! SMH. He should have known better than that.

*Tyler Perry*

Tyler Perry is the person who I admire out of every person in Hollywood, * like Oprah is the person he admired before he became famous* Maybe you have to be equal to the rich and famous in order to be in rich and famous people circles. Tyler, can I please meet you? Huh? May I please?

Hey! Happy 4th of July!!! Thank you Jesus for another day. Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

Neisha left early this morning for Cincinnati, Ohio. That\’s one traveling Sista. Every thing worked out just fine. Yesterday I was a little upset with a few people. I was too angry to post it, so I went to bed. Now, I really don\’t want to get into it, because I\’m okay now. I had time to think about it and go over it in my head, and come to the conclusion that * What comes around goes around*.

But I will post this. When you marry a man and he has children/child, don\’t say things to question that child into thinking YOU THE WIFE don\’t like her. You tell HER MOM, that $15.00 a week child support is enough. Then you turn around and have his 2ND child.

NOW he leaves you 7 years later, come back to MICHIGAN * doing his thang*, spending his time with his now grown daughter, taking her to dinner, taking her out of town, helping her move out of her dorm, paying for her room and board, being with her every chance he gets. Because that\’s the way its suppose to be.

Now where are YOU? HOME ALONE!? It took 10 years to see this thing through…….but now its at your front steps. He did it to HIS DAUGHTER, why didn\’t you think you\’d be next? Hurt don\’t it? Its okay if you don\’t see him, but its another feeling when YOUR child ask *WHERE IS MY DADDY* HUH? I know the feeling gurl. Yeah he\’s part blame, but you didn\’t do your part as a wife and see to it that our kids became close, you wanted HIM/THE MAN all to yourself. Both of you packed up a few years ago and moved the family to ATL. HE\’S BACK HOME, and YOU\’RE THERE and as the saying goes * What goes around comes around BOO* YO TURN!

I hope that I didn\’t come off mean to the readers. I hope that someone reads this and see themselves. Enough of that mess.

I\’m off on Tuesdays so I got up early in the morning about 7am and went to my job *Walmart* to get Meet the Browns!! Yall know I am a Tyler Perry admirer to my heart!!! So, I must go on the very first day to get his movies. When I went to pay for them, I always talk to my co workers for about 30 minutes. I just don\’t know how to go to my job, walk in and walk out. I gotta talk to everyone. I\’m just so friendly. Anyway, why did my gurl ask me can she copy Tyler Perry\’s Meet the Brown? I looked at her and said gurl. you don\’t ask me can you copy Tyler Perry anything. I said gurl you got me messed up!!! First of all, Tyler Perry don\’t leave the house!!! Second of all, big money grip, BUY YOUR OWN!!! She said please Lacrease, I said gurl NO! When Tyler Perry get to my house, he never leaves. That\’s one thing I don\’t play about. I even let her borrow my car more than 3 times. But when it comes to my Tyler Perry things, I don\’t play like that. She left it alone, until the next day. After I gave her that final

Gurl Bye!

look she knew what time it was. LOL I use to let people use my Tyler Perry DVD\’s and end up having to buy then ova again, people get amnesia with your stuff. So here is how my collection is looking. Don\’t be jealous now. LOL

Hey,

First I must say Thank you Lord for listening to my prayer last night, when I got to work this morning, and all through my shift. I tell you if it wasn\’t for you, I would be back to my mean ways, and out of control. But don\’t even worry, its not in me to return to my ways. I just wanted to let you know Lord, that I thank you for your whispers, and your wisdom. Thank you for telling me things over, and over, and over, and over again before they even happen. You have always given me that gift, and at one point I couldn\’t handle knowing things ahead of time and so I told you that I didn\’t want it. Yep, I told you to take it away because it was causing me too much * trouble*. I felt * odd* and *out of place* for knowing things in advance when others didnt have a clue for what was about to happen, or even happening. For many years, I was without that gift, and as I grew up and began to seek you, I needed it and ask for it back, and its in full effect now. Boy is it in full effect!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I don\’t know where to start. There is so much going on right now * shaking my head* that\’s really nothing new to me, God told me all in advance, but I\’m still learning how to grasp all that\’s told to me before hand. I\’m going to get it right Lord, I promise you. I have got to learn how to control this feeling that comes over me once you reveal something to me. I\’m learning tho, I\’m learning. When I don\’t know the motive behind something, I get frustrated and want to go Madea on these people. LOL I know you are watching me, so no matter how crazy I looked today at my register praying. Just know… that I appreciate everything. THANK YOU DADDY.

Tomorrow after work I will share everything that\’s going on. Its nothing bad, but maybe someone can get something out of it for their own lives.

I\’m gone to bed for now, but I promise I will share it.

Hey,

Thank you Lord for another day. Thank you for listening to me, when I went into the bathroom just to pray and give you Thanks at work this evening. Thank you for reaching out to me no matter where I am. Thank you for Loving me.Ok, there is a few things going on in my head, but its late, and I just want to show some videos and post little information that Im feeling today without having to blog. So try to feel my atmosphere as I really have nothing to say right now.

Essence: How was the ceremony?
Ruben Studdard: It was beautiful. It was exactly what we wanted—a celebration of family and friends. There were no mishaps whatsoever. The wedding started at noon like we said it would, and it went off with no glitches.

Essence: What does it feel like to be Mrs. Studdard?
Zuri Studdard: It’s great, but it really doesn’t feel any different. It’s fun to say I have a husband. I’m like, Wow, I’m a wife now.

Essence: How did you two meet?
RS: We met at an autograph signing at a Wal-Mart in Atlanta. Zuri came to get a CD autographed for her best friend who couldn’t get off from work. When I saw her, I just thought she was beautiful. She told me about how much her friend loved me, and I was like, Well what about you? She was like, Well, you’re all right.

Essence: Weren’t you a fan of his music?
ZS: I was but my best friend was the Ruben fanatic. Anything that had to do with Ruben she had to get it. So when she said she couldn’t get off from work, I volunteered to go. After I left the signing, he sent his best friend out to ask me if we could keep in touch and then he ended up coming out to talk to me.

Essence: Where did you go on your first date?
RS: We went to see Blood Diamond at Atlantic Station in Atlanta.

Essence: What made you fall in love with Zuri?
RS: She’s my best friend. I can talk to her about anything. When we go out, I just feel like I can always be myself. I never have to be anybody other than the real Ruben. Also, she’s the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever met. She loves God, and I love her for just being who she is.

Essence: What is it about Ruben that made you fall for him?
ZS: Before we really started dating, it was as if I’d known him forever. He was my homeboy. Then, after I visited him in Birmingham for the first time, I just looked at him differently and thought, Wow, I could really love this guy. He’s sweet and genuine. I knew I was in love when I started telling my friends about him, and I was like, Ruben this, Ruben that.

How did you propose?
RS: I had an engagement in Las Vegas, and I thought it would be cool to ask her there, but everything I’d planned kept falling through the cracks. I planned to propose to her while at dinner at the Venetian Hotel, but then the zipper to her dress broke and she wanted to go back to the room. So, I had to think of something else and just do it there.
ZS: I remember sitting in my apartment and joking around with him a few weeks before, like, You’re never going to want to get married. He said it was killing him, because he had just bought the ring and it was in his pocket the entire time.

Essence: What did you think when you saw the ring?
ZS: Wow! I thought he was joking at first, but he was like, No I’m serious. I was so happy and in complete shock. It was a total surprise.

Essence: What did you think when you saw Zuri coming down the aisle?
RS: It was really breathtaking. I smiled from ear to ear when I saw her. It was just an amazing moment. I’ve never seen her more beautiful than when they opened the door and she walked down the aisle.

Essence: Other publications reported that you were having as many as 20 groomsmen? Is that true?
RS: No ma’am, that’s not true. We had eight groomsmen and eight bridesmaids. I asked my friend from college, a couple of guys that I’ve known since I was 3 years old, and my brother was my best man.

Essence: Where are you going on your honeymoon?
RS: It’s a surprise so I’m keeping that to myself. All I’ll say is we’re headed to South America.

Essence: Do you plan on starting a family right away?
ZS: We’re going to take a little time. We plan to hopefully have kids in the next year or so.

Essence: Now that you’re off limits, how do you think being married will affect your fan base and music?
RS: It will be fine. People know that I’m a good southern boy and this is a part of life. I hope all my fans will appreciate the type of music I will be making now. You know, life brings about change. The more you experience, the more you’re able to write about, so I’m sure this will reflect in some way in my music.

Essence: Aren’t you working on a new album?
RS: I’m working with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, making great music, and just trying to get it out. We’ll reconvene once I get back from my honeymoon and hopefully get the album out before September.

Hey

Thank you Lord for waking me up again this morning. I am so grateful for all that do for me. I KNOW you Love me, because you are always showing me. I notice the things you whisper and do for me and I will always Love you. I keep you on my mind, day in and day out.

I love going to the movies, so I went this past Friday to see 2 movies in the same day with my mother and Neisha. We saw Wanted with my gurl Angelina Jolie, and then The Hulk for the second time, it was their first. I loved Wanted!!! That gurl is one bad sister. Trina need to give up her title as the Baddest Chick, she ain\’t nothing on Angie!!! LOL Anytime you can do your thang on the screen, go home and be a mom to 4, and have a boyfriend who is just as famous, YOU BAD!! LOL I can watch the Hulk over and over again, I really loved this movie. It was such a Love story.

I was talking to one of my good good friends from Chicago who use to lived here in Detroit last night from 11:08 pm until 8:15ish this morning. I was crossed eyed lol but we had the best conversation I had ever had in my life. She\’s 42, and I\’m 40. We were talking about God all night and how he connects people, and how he works in our lives. She was telling me that she has a trust issue with people, and I told her that I didn\’t have a trust issue with people. And we explained to each other why. It was really deep.

When I meet people, my attitude is, everyone has A-1 Credit with me. That means that I can get to know you right off rip, and that we can start from the bottom of a friendship and work our way to the top. She says people gets NO CREDIT off rip, and that they have to work up a friendship with her. That brings me to why we have different views on many things in our lives. But still and yet we have been friends since I met her at a job back when my daughter was in the 1st grade. For the life of her she could never understand how is it that I can start conversations with people without even knowing them. When she on the other hand can\’t get past her own *sweaty palms* of being shy or standoffish. I never look at her to be a shy person because she\’s SO FULL OF WISDOM and she has no problem in telling me or anyone else the TRUTH. * Especially me lol*. Iron sharpens Iron! And I love her for that. But what she explained to me is that she find it hard to Trust people because she feels that they always disappoint her. She is a very giving person, and she when she trust people she wants to end the friendship because they take advantage of her kindness but she finds it hard too. That is a rode that she often finds herself.

I\’m different. You automatically have credit with me until you mess up. When I see signs of unfaithfulness, ill cut the friendship. My home is my Palace. That\’s the place where God lives and when you walk into my home, you will know it. To get into my Palace is to be past 3rd base. Where my friend believes that she can only talk to you from her front porch. When you do me wrong, Im forgiving, but our friendship will probaly end. With her, if you mess up she\’s willing to chestize you deeply, plus she\’ll keep the friendship.

When we laughed and realized that we are so very different in that area. We both went back to our child hood. She is an only child, her mother is a Nurse and just retired. She had trust issues with people in her family, and so in growing up it made her standoffish to people. She had no siblings to talk to growing up, stunting her communication skills. I was raised with both of my parents in the home, I have 2 sisters and one brother, we are very close, and our communication skills toward each other *and our kids* are good.

I could have argued with her and said. Look you are older now, its okay that you were an only child, its okay now that you didn\’t have anyone to communicate with, its okay now, that you were standoffish to people. Because now you know better. And she can easily argue that its EASY for me to say its okay this and that for her situation. When in fact, its all about Understanding each other and our backgrounds. The problem I have with people is that they want to take a lot of my time , and I\’m the kind of person who likes to talk, be friendly, and MOVE IT RIGHT ALONG. I use my friendlyness to Minister to people. I really enjoy * seed planting* conversations, and not waste my time on gossip or foolishness.

Oh yes, I have had my share of being * too friendly* with people up front and end up losing friendships over it. Because once God reveal to me their intentions, I have to separate myself. Over the years I have learned that everyone is not your friend, and that\’s okay too. I\’m Spiritually connected to a few people, and I have a feeling those people will be around for a long time.

So my question to you, are you are person who gives people A-1 Credit off the bat when you first meet them, or do they have to earn credit with you as time go on?

Here is a Video that I want you all to watch. Please watch this video ALL THE WAY THROUGH. because the best is yet to come!!! This gurl is BADD!!!!!!!

God Bless You all

Today is a great day. Thank you Lord for waking me up this morning. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

I had an appointment this morning with the cable company, one of my boxes went completely out. This young cable guy knocks on the door and I told him to come around to the side. I hadn\’t comb my hair, brushed my teeth, got the crumbs out of my eyes or anything. All I had on was my long night gown. So I rushed down the 3 stairs and opened the door for him and ran to the bathroom looking a hot MediaTakeOut mess!!! LOL He goes upstairs and do his thang, and after about 25 minutes he comes and says he\’s done. That\’s when I asked him how can I get a HDTV box that records my movies? As soon as I opened my mouth, I felt a breeze on my head. So, I\’m thinking to myself dang,………no my scarf didn\’t fall off my head, cause I felt a draft. * LOL* I reached up to feel my head and realized that my colorful scarf had dropped on his boots. He had this embarrassed look on his face, but I just kept on talking. Cracking up in my mind. He played it off too. My daughter was looking like . I finished up that conversation real quick. As he turned to walk out of the door. I said * Don\’t go and tell your friends my scarf fell off my head either!!!! We all starting cracking up!!! He couldn\’t stop laughing!!! The back of my head looked like cats been licking and playing with their yarn in it. LOL My daughter gets embarrassed easy, I DON\’T! She\’s the more conservative Virgo with the attitude like * quiet down people, lets watch the recital. *, I\’m more like * cable man sir, can you please pick up my scarf that fell off my head and landed on your boots* type of Virgo!!! LOL I\’m silly . Very silly!

La\’Crease

Yesterday was my Mother’s Birthday. She wanted to cook herself a dinner and have all her family over, and that’s just what she did!!! We had a good time. We had a ball. This morning I was so sleepy for work, all I could do was lay in the bed and pray for strength. Well, I made it through. Thank you Jesus.

When I got home my brother was on the caller ID wanting me to come over to his high rise apartment near the Detroit River and watch the fire works. It was late when I got home, no way was I going to be able to get through all that traffic. Going to the fireworks, everybody is so cool, as soon as the final finale is over, people lose their minds trying to get out of there and into their cars. I sat myself on the couch, propped up my legs, turned off the air, and watch the fireworks in HDTV. Sure did!!! After it was over, I was glad NOT to be driving home. LOL Last year I went and had so much fun OMGoodness. But I’m good. I’m off tomorrow, so I can finally sleep in and rest.

Yesterday we were all fixing plates from the backyard to the house. My nephew Gary * 14* came in the house to fix himself a plate. Well his 3 friends were outside * they all live on the block* and 2 of them wanted something to eat. So, we were like yeah ,yeah fix them something to eat if they want something. Later on that night, I saw 3 boys standing on the corner. So, I’m saying to myself who is that standing on the corner? I asked my niece and she said it was Gary * her brother* and his 3 friends. One of them wanted to ig the boys across the way, because of some words being exchanged earlier. So, me being Lacrease * don’t like mess* walked to see what they had to say about standing on the DOGONE CORNER .

Gary saw me and gave me a hug and kiss, he knew what time it was. I asked him to introduce me to his friends. They all *seemed* respectable. So after the intro. I said let me ask y’all something, why are y’all standing out here egging that boy on? I said don’t you all have something to do. They all said yeah we play basketball. One of the guys has a cast on his arm. I asked him what happened, he told me he had just got shot. Anyway I started preaching on that. How people get into stuff, and the next thing you know their family members will get hurt or killed OVA NOTHING!!! I had to use their language. They were listening too. I said don’t you all know that if something happen to any one of you, your family suffers? After I went on and on and on, I made them all repeat 2 times. LIFE, NOT DEATH. LIFE NOT DEATH!!!

That was the end of that. I went on home and they left that corner. This evening after work I was about to go in the house when my nephew Gary was coming out. Me and my sisters allllllll live around the corner from each other. So my nephews are always playing ball with the boys down the street. I said to Gary, did you understand what auntie was getting at boo. I said I don’t mean to preach to your friends, but YOU KNOW ME, LOLLLLLLLLLLL WE WERE CRACKING UP!! I said Gary please let me give you this last example okay?LOL

I said, remember that time you saw me pulling out of the driveway, and you asked me did I have some money, and I gave you some, and since YOUR friends were with YOU. I said Gary what about your friends, do THEY need some too? He said yeah I remember. I said boo that’s how it is on the streets. One of those guys * YOUR BOY* that I was talking to last night who got shot in the stomach recently? Well those people meant to kill him. And if you are hanging with him, and those guys sees him, guess whose going down with him? I said ain’t no telling what they might do. I said, JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE WITH THEM, YOU CAN BE IN DANGER TOO!!!! His eyes got so big. He said Auntie I got that. All he could do is smile and stare at me. AT that point I truly believe he got it. Now what he does with that information I’m not sure what’s next for him but I had to wire him up. He really feels that since its not his battle he’s safe. Who you are connected too, is LIFE OR DEATH!!!

Which brings me to THE WORD!!!

1 Kings 14

Ahijah’s Prophecy Against Jeroboam

1 At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill, 2 and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Go, disguise yourself, so you won’t be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Then go to Shiloh. Ahijah the prophet is there���the one who told me I would be king over this people. 3 Take ten loaves of bread with you, some cakes and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy.” 4 So Jeroboam’s wife did what he said and went to Ahijah’s house in Shiloh.

Now Ahijah could not see; his sight was gone because of his age. 5 But the LORD had told Ahijah, “Jeroboam’s wife is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill, and you are to give her such and such an answer. When she arrives, she will pretend to be someone else.”

6 So when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why this pretense? I have been sent to you with bad news. 7 Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I raised you up from among the people and appointed you ruler over my people Israel. 8 I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you, but you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commands and followed me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes. 9 You have done more evil than all who lived before you. You have made for yourself other gods, idols made of metal; you have aroused my anger and thrust me behind your back.

10 ” ‘Because of this, I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every last male in Israel���slave or free. ^[a] I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns dung, until it is all gone. 11 Dogs will eat those belonging to Jeroboam who die in the city, and the birds will feed on those who die in the country. The LORD has spoken!’

12 “As for you, go back home. When you set foot in your city, the boy will die. 13 All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will be buried, because he is the only one in the house of Jeroboam in whom the LORD, the God of Israel, has found anything good.

Here’s another one…….who you are connected too IS LIFE OR DEATH!

1 Kings 17

Elijah Fed by Ravens

1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe ^[b] in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”

2 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: 3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. 4 You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.”

5 So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

Here’s another one…….who you are connected too IS LIFE OR DEATH!

2 Kings 2

Elijah Taken Up to Heaven

1 When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here; the LORD has sent me to Bethel.”
But Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.

3 The company of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, “Do you know that the LORD is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” Elisha replied, “so be quiet.”

4 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, Elisha; the LORD has sent me to Jericho.”
And he replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.

5 The company of the prophets at Jericho went up to Elisha and asked him, “Do you know that the LORD is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” he replied, “so be quiet.”

6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here; the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.”
And he replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them walked on.

7 Fifty men from the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan. 8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?”
“Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.

10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours���otherwise, it will not.”

11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. 12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two.

13 He picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. 14 Then he took the cloak that had fallen from him and struck the water with it. “Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.

15 The company of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him. 16 “Look,” they said, “we your servants have fifty able men. Let them go and look for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has picked him up and set him down on some mountain or in some valley.”
“No,” Elisha replied, “do not send them.”

17 But they persisted until he was too embarrassed to refuse. So he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find him. 18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
