Upcoming Thanksgiving!

Man I can not wait until Thanksgiving of 2008! This is by far the best holiday besides Easter and Christmas! It is not only the major gathering of the family once every year, but the food is already arising to my taste buds! I mean literally macoroni and cheese, croissants, collard greens, mashed potatoes with cheese toppings, potato salad, cornbread, red beans and rice, family special gumbo, turkey, ham, dressing, casserole, sweet potato pie, pecan pie, oh my goodness, and I'm just getting warmed up. I can't wait to see all my cousins in New Orleans, so we can go by Beignet's, hang out, and talk about the good ole days. It is always fun when my family gets together. Sometimes we have some misunderstandings, but we come to ourselves and squash whatever was causing the problem immediately because we know that we are one as family, and we should love each other no matter what. We do love each other a lot. I just look forward to adding a new chapter to just how great and amazing GOD is by allowing the family to meet, gather, and love each other one more time! GOD bless! peace!

My strange dream.

Hey what up and whats happenin? It is ya boy Keith with another one! Naw I'm just playin but I have been having some strange dreams lately. Have you ever had a dream when you felt like you were about to die? For an example, I dreamt one time that I was falling off of this building once, and it felt like I was falling into this abyssmal. I remember that I was acting it all out, and couldn't wake up from it. But as soon as the ground emerged, and right before I could hit the ground, I wake up with unrestrainable fear. I would wake up drenched in sweat, feeling immeasurably hot, and my breathing was heavy until the point I could not even lift up my chest. I had this one dream the other day that has been haunting me like never before. It started like this: The world was very corrupt and very chaotic. There was red everywhere for everyone was killing, raping, stealing from, and torturing each other in a way that life was meaningless. All I heard were screams of fear and terror echoing through all the parts of the world. It seemed like the world was coming to a close. I even was saw people eating other people; it was just drastic and horrific. I had soon recognized what these days were: it was the wrath of the anti-christ, the devil. I was so terrified that these things were happening that I tried to hide, but it was impossible. There were three-headed monsters that were just gobling up people one by one slashing their heads off and eating their body parts as well. It was nothing but darkness and fire blazed the cities. I was looking for my family, but the commotion bewildered me into running just to save my life. All the buildings were deteriorated, but I had managed to find my house. I went inside, and it was so deserted, filthy, and disgusting that I did not even want to set foot inside. But I heard one of the monsters heading in my direction, so I figured that it was the only place of safety. Then out of nowhere, I heard my baby brother start to cry from his crib. So, this drove me nuts because I knew that once the monster heard him he was going to devour hin as soon as he came in contact. So, I thought fast on my feet. I had a huge ancient spear that I could drive through its back and scoop up my baby brother and escape as fast as I could in my uncle's truck. And, that is exactly what I did. As I attempted to exit the city, it was only one way out: over the bridge, but it was unfinished. So, there was basically no way out. I noticed that my brother was not crying anymore. Once I looked back there, he was gone! I was at the steep of a heart attack now. I also noticed that the truck would not stop upon getting closer to the end of the unfinshed bridge which was open to wide open space of water. I'm also afraid of deep masses of water which made the situation even worse. Once I knew that it was not going to stop, I figured that my life was surely over. Once the car went over the bridge, I felt a lot of heat arise to my body, but just before I hit the surface, I woke up! it was the strangest dream that I have ever had thus far.

This week was historic: For me!

No not only did Barack Obama, the FIRST BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT, get the office, but I survived this weekend. A lot of things were thrown my way like tests, people getting on my case, and not being focused, but GOD brought me through once again like he always does. The best thing that I learned this week was how to have perseverence. I learned to tough it out when the going gets rough. I never did give up on GOD because I knew it was something he was trying to get across to me. GOD has really revealed a lot of things to me this week that has enabled me to learn a liitle bit more about myself and life. For an example, I have had three tests this week. I was telling people who I thought were my friends about my situation of how overwhelmed I was because I did not properly prepare for the tests over the weekend. But instead, they were kinda shootin me down as if I was not going to succeed. It kind of hurt me, but I did not let it soak in me. I honestly thought I was going to fail, but I am blessed to say that I passed with A's on all three tests. I was so overjoyed because I knew that it was nobody but GOD that reassured me and came right on time. I just want to thank him right now because I was about to throw in the towel this week. I just want to say if anyone is reading this and you have not accepted Jesus Christ in your heart and has not changed all the bad things you used to do, I would like to encourage you to pray that you recognize that Jesus died on the cross and shed his blood to pay for our sins so that you and I could have salvation and eternal life in heaven, repent of your sins and give reverence to him as a token of appreciation. I promise you that you won't regret seeking after GOD because he has something special in store for you: I guarantee it!
