A Good Start

A Good Start He waited for her by the bench where they first met. He waited for her, not really sure she would take the same path that once led her straight to his heart so many years ago. He waited, not knowing what he would say to compel her. Somehow, “I love you,” does not seem enough, not after what they shared, what they lost. He waited for her, thinking he should go, slink away and hide like the coward he had been. Was there anything that he could really do to make amends? He turned to leave but caught a glimpse, and that glimpse about tore him apart. She was smiling, laughing. It left him wondering how she could be so happy. For a minute he thought she was smiling because she saw him standing there, waiting for her. No. She was smiling at the other him in her life now. He seemed to bring her a joy that could not compare to what they had once shared- what he shattered, what he was not sure he could get back. She looked so happy that he almost did not want to bother. “I love ...

Why do you believe in God?

A friend once asked my why do I believe in God. My instinctual answer was, “I don’t know because I just do.” That answer is not clear enough. That answer takes for granted that some people will not understand the “I just do” part. That answer takes for granted that there are some who are looking for holes in my belief in the existence of God and the “I don’t know” seems to provide that gaping hole . “Of course you don’t know why you believe because you have been fed what to believe. You have been fed God,” is what the detractors would use to plug what they see as a hole. I had to think about this. I had to think to myself, why did I have to say, “I don’t know.” Then I came to the conclusion that it was not a slip of the tongue. It was not a mistake. It is the clearest and most honest answer that I can provide. “I just do” is even better because my answer to the question is quite circular. I will start with a force, an unknown force that compels me to believe. I cannot explain this f...

Authenticity by Foreign Exchange

I purchased Authenticity by Foreign Exchange a few weeks ago and must say that it is definitely worth the buy. It has a jazzy, urban soul feel to it and just flows nice. Worth the time and money.

Tananarive Due, where have you been all my reading life?

Image
I’m sure she has been around doing her writing thing, while I was under the romantic fiction boulder. I tend not to venture out of my favorite genre too much; however, on this occasion, I am so happy that I did. *** Tananarive Due Website *** I picked up Tananarive Due's My Soul to Keep in the middle of a very difficult grieving process and actually had to put the book down not because it was not captivating though. I had to put it down because where I was in my grieving, reading My Soul to Keep proved to be too disturbing. So, once I was in a better place, I could not wait to finish the novel. Mind you this book came out in 1997 and I am just now discovering it, but what a great find! The main character is Dawit, an African immortal, who breaks all the rules to keep his beloved family intact. I was initially intrigued by a person who lives forever but who is not a vampire or demon or alien. He has no super powers, can’t see through walls, or bend metal with his mind. He ...
