A Biblical-Philadelphia story born out of random and chance encounters mixing many parts from different places over a period of seven days. Our story goes and comes together like this: Sheena came from Kansas City and was working as a waitress in a surf 'n turf bar where she met Deacon Johnny & immediately found Jesus. Prior to meeting Sheena, Deacon Johnny had already met Preacher Jim on a Philly street corner @ 3am. Heddie Gonzalez (born in PR, but raised in Jersey) had met Deacon Johnny a few years back before he had ever met Preacher Jim and Sheena; Heddie was the one who brought Deacon Johnny to the lord. However, Deacon Johnny did not immediately tell Preacher Jim or Sheena about Heddie til he realized Sister Heddie was key to an unsolsolved musical equation when God spoke to him and said include Heddie. Daddy-B-Doug, a sinner from Ohio had already known Deacon Johnny longer than anyone else in our story. One day Daddy-B-Doug just happened to be round when Sheena, Preacher Jim, Deacon Johnny and Heddie were getting together to practice. And somehow, it all clicked on that fateful day in Preacher Jim's tiny, South Philly basement. Elliott Levin & Gina Lady came and joined our flock the next day, the seventh day of our fellowship, AMEN!
Imagine what it would be like if I could say I love you and it would be alright. Take it as it is meant to be… to make a better humanity. Imagine what it would be like if we could take flight under the power of that love and soar like Eagle above… Skies so peacefully, air that feels good… imagine the breeze. Wont you come and imagine some beauty with me..? My soul dreams Always of Amazing things…
Things That make Me Smile. When last hope 13 yrs old kisses me goodnight.Even after all day we seemed to fuss and fight. She knows she is always my shining light.Looking out the window at the puppies when they notice and look up at me...wag tails happily. Sun shines brightly after morning showers like the world smiles, In all of gods Power.Hearing my husband and his Brother talk of their fishing trips.The gleam in their eyes like they invented it. The rain coming makes the air smell sweet. especially after fresh cut grass how clean the streets. My grandbaby bursting through the door.. Because his mother has made him mad...he runs to Nan-Na and hugs me tight ..At that moment for him I can make every thing alright. When people send me funny e-mails That also make me smile.Makes me feel like i am thought of if only for a little while.When they send e-mails of poems they think I should read.A lot of times they comfort me. . in times of need. Critiques that come in honestly.. truly does delight me...Maybe the words did not come out right.. They did not understand. Maybe you should go back and read it. again or take that one in hand. Read it out loud, see what you think. And I do cause no critique is wasted ink.Being able to write to you...tell you what I think too.Music that makes me dance. All alone in my room.. Lift the clouds so they do not continue to loom.. I thank God for this a few moments of Bliss. Hoping I can make the great list.., But most of all, It may not show in my work.But I cannot wait for the day my Father cradles me.., With hope he finds some beauty in me, that after life be. Forever ever happy.. Pray for me., as I will you...That all our happy dreams come true.. , May you be in heaven a life time,Before the devil even knows you are gone.. and do feel free to ,hug yourself from Mzstery...And no I do not think that would be Vanity... Cause my soul dreams of many things like the joy of life's Mzsteries in love bring... much love yawl.
