Midnight, charcoal, etc...

The big news right now seems to be that Robin Roberts came out as being a lesbian.  I am not sure why there is still so much controversy over a person being gay in these times.  Those who are talking about it seem to be coming from one of two angles; religion or the amount of time the person was"in the closet".

The religious nuts are always so quick to talk about what an abomination, or how much God dislikes homosexuality, they speak about it like it's "the great sin".  So now these people that used to like her, the ones that honored her for her courage in fighting her rare disease are suddenly unable to have anything to do with her.  Yes that is the Christian thing to do--not! Judge not lest you be judged.

Homosexuality is not the great sin.  It is not weighted heavier than say, telling a lie.  Before my husband and I got married, we lived together and we are not doomed to hell for eternity.  All sin is forgivable if asked.   At least that's what my Bible tells me. And yes it also tells me there is a time to love and a time to hate but it says that love is the greatest and it covers a multitude of sins.  I am certainly not holier or better than anyone else so I will reserve the judgement.  When it's all said and done I can not answer to my maker for you and you can not for me.  I sleep well at night because of that knowledge.

Now, those who feel slighted some how, because she had been a public figure for so long without letting the world know, are what I like to call the busy bodies.  Being a heterosexual doors not mean that I am more loving, caring or even a better person all around. It has absolutely no bearing on the type of work I am able to do or my work ethic. It doesn't make me more qualified or more easily educated.  My being heterosexual made me a good candidate for a heterosexual man to choose as his wife. Well that happened on December 22,2013 so I can't imagine what else being a heterosexual is good for.

Oh and by the way, I never "stood in the hallway". There was never some grand proclamation from me or any other heterosexuals as far as I know either. I could care less either way. I am not a homosexual but I don't discriminate against them either.  If my mother decided today she was a lesbian , nothing at all would change between us and that's because my involvement with her had nothing to do with that aspect of life.

I guess what I am saying is, congratulations Robin on your awesome new job. I love to see a strong black woman moving up!

Whitney already told you

 Today I just knew that I needed to write a post.  Sometimes I know what I am going to write before I start, and then other times, I'm just winging it. There are plenty of things on my mind and I still don't know what my topic of the day will be. That is until I know what it is going to be. I look at the people in my life every day.  No, not physically but logically and some of the time emotionally. I come to the same realization every time.  First off, there is no such thing as coincidence, in my opinion. I believe that the family you are born into is based on many things, but it is never a mistake.  When you meet your friends, lovers and others, it is for a divine reason.  All things work for the good.  Not some of the time; all of the time. Now let me be clear, two things can and are usually true at the same time.  You can have a happy life and feel joy while still feeling sad over certain situations. The reverse can also be true where in you f...

Cafe Bustelo with a little cream

 I don't even think there is a phrase that describes the feeling that I currently have about my life.  It has been approximately, a year and a half since I have last shared.  The truth is that I have barely even written anything beyond a text message in that time.  For a while I called it writer's block but now, I know that is not a true assessment. The truth is more emotion and far-reaching than that would connote. When last we spoke I believe I was legally ending the worse chapters of my life.  Now, this is not to say that some good times were not had in that more than decade of my life, but the bad times definitely outweighed the good ones.  The lessons were a multitude with nary a time to rest really.  I am good with the knowledge of this at this point.  There has to be bad in order to enjoy the good; the night must fall in order for the sun to rise; there would be no way to turn left if you didn't have the option of turning right.  You g...

True Confession!

I have a confession to make. It's funny because telling a secret or making a confession is a very hard thing yet once it's done that weight has been lifted and you feel a little lighter. That being said confession is just good for the soul. I know that the devil is trying his best to keep me from obtaining my destiny and this confession is getting ready to shame him because he is a liar and he will not kill or destroy me. I am taking back the power I gave him in this situation. I just had a birthday and I turned 36. I love when my birthday comes around. This year was no difference. Actually, it was a lot better than it has been in years. Partially because I spent my day getting to know a new person in my life but mostly because I have been getting to know myself. This is my real-life confession. I didn't begin to feel good about myself until I was in my 30's--I was around 32 actually. I had the most negative self-talk a person could have. My self-esteem and self-imag...
