I'm Baaaaaackkkkk!!!

Maine, I lot has happen since I posted last. Part of what took so long was the passing of my mom, and the other part was I could not remember my dat gum (Did I spell this right?) log in or password for my blog. But my dysfunctional memory finally kicked in.

Where do I want to start?? Mmmmm.

A friend of mine create a new blog for the new year (Kinda:), and I finally got a chance to read it. She is simply amazing considering the difficult situations that she has encounter in life, and her resilency that continues to refine her as woman.

I get this daily spiritual email, and one of the titles was "Failure that leads to Godliness". It said "God uses broken things to accomplish His greatest work" and "God often uses failure to make us useful". I think that the writer should have included broken people also, because sometimes they turn out to be the greatest leaders and individuals.

Cornel West once talked about there is no such thing as success, because we are all failures when we die. Of course, I was uncomfortable and puzzled by that statement. But you know me, I remained open minded. So he continued by saying all of us will not accomplish everything that we wanted to do in life, therefore we are all failures. So the discussion should be around what type of failure do you want to be. Do you want to a failure who made a significant impact on society or do you want to be a failure that never maximize the gifts that God so kindly gave you?

Don't worry about your failures and challenges as long as you don't repeat, but learn from them.


"Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid."

John KeatsEnglish lyric poet (1795 - 1821)
