You were born today

they had to knock me out because of course u came into this world backwards
You used to kick my knees out from under me
I woke up once during ur birth and thought U had on a red dress lol
was good drugs huh lol
then I almost went into shock
You were half grown @ 9lbs 16ounces
I wasnt scared of you like the first child cause u weighed so much
I did think u were possessed because at one week u were shaking the baby crib
U rubbed ur navel cord off @ a week and a half
U drank more milk then they said U would and four ounces of water
Mom and I had to put u on a little bit of cereal because U didnt like the breast and
u werent getting satisfied by the formual
dr said to do it so we did
U got so fat ur jaws hung down like a bull dawgs
U were eating smashed beans and mashed potatoes & gravy at three months

Me

The Crow

NATIVE AMERCIAN FOLKLORE TEACHES THAT THE CROW IS A BIRD WITH VISIONARY POWER WHOSE CURIOSITY SOMETIMES GETS THE BEST OF HER,


ACCORDING TO LORE WHEN THE CROW SAW ITS SHADOW IT STARED IN AMAZEMENT. THE CROW PECKED @ THE SHADOW, IT EVEN LEFT FOOD FOR IT, ONE DAY IN RESPONSE TO THE CROWS FASCINATION THE SHADOW CAME TO LIFE & ATE THE CROW..

 THE STORY OF THE CROW TEACHES US ABOUT THE DANGERS OF BEING FASCINATED WITH THE THINGS THAT ARE BEHIND US. WE ARE MESMERIZED BY THE SHADOWS OF OUR PAST. WE GIVE THE SHADOWS OF YESTERDAY THE POWER TO SWALLOW OUR TODAY

CONFRONTATION

CONFRONTATION


BY TREADA 9-24-90





AN ANGEL THUMBED HIS FINGERS

ON THE GREAT OAKEN WOOD

AS I STOOD BEFORE HIM

CONFRONTED BY MINE OWN

CHILDHOOD

I HEARD A SNICKER FROM THE BACKGROUND

AND A COUGH FROM THE MOUND

I SWALLOWED HARD AS THE ANGEL READ

FEELING THE LUMP GROW AS GREAT AS MY DREAD

THEN I SAW A SMILE CROSS HIS HEAVENLY FACE

THEN HE WATCHED AS I RAN THE LAST LAP OF THE HUMAN RACE

WOULD I CROSS THE FINISH LINE

WOULD I BEAR WITNESS TO MINE OWN CRIMES

THE ANGEL CALLED FOR JESUS

AND I KNEELED UNTILL MY HEAD TOUCHED THE FLOOR

I HEARD THE SILENCE LOUDLY

BUT COULD NOT RAISE MY HEAD

JESUS WHISPERED TO THE ANGEL

AND STRONG ARMS BROUGHT ME TO MY FEET

JESUS SMILED BEFORE ME

AND I SOBBED LIKE THE CHILD OF MY BIRTH

JESUS SPOKE OF MY WRITTINGS OF THE RIDDLES AND WHAT

I SAID AND THAT I COULD CONTINUE IN ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER

PLACE

HE TOLD ME TO SLEEP

AND DREAM OF THINGS TO COME

I FELT THE DIZZINESS

OF THAT OF THE DRUNKEN RUM

AND NOW I WAIT BY HEAVENS GATE

AND SMILE THOUGH MY WORDS AREN'T MUM

Dante's Inferno Test - You Have Been Judged


The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 7 times.

The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Seventh Level of Hell!

Seventh Level of Hell

Guarded by the Minotaur, who snarls in fury, and encircled within the river Phlegethon, filled with boiling blood, is the Seventh Level of Hell. The violent, the assasins, the tyrants, and the war-mongers lament their pitiless mischiefs in the river, while centaurs armed with bows and arrows shoot those who try to escape their punishment. The stench here is overpowering. This level is also home to the wood of the suicides- stunted and gnarled trees with twisting branches and poisoned fruit. At the time of final judgement, their bodies will hang from their branches. In those branches the Harpies, foul birdlike creatures with human faces, make their nests. Beyond the wood is scorching sand where those who committed violence against God and nature are showered with flakes of fire that rain down against their naked bodies. Blasphemers and sodomites writhe in pain, their tongues more loosed to lamentation, and out of their eyes gushes forth their woe. Usurers, who followed neither nature nor art, also share company in the Seventh Level.



Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

"I THOUGHT OF YOU "      


 11-17-1995

BY TREADA

I HAVE BEEN CALLING, YET YOU DO NOT ANSWER

I HAVE KNOCKED, YET YOU DO NOT ANSWER THE DOOR

I HAVE WRITTEN YOU LOVE LETTERS, WITH PSALMS OF POETRY

YET I HAVE RECEIVED NO REPLY.

DO YOU NOT KNOW, HAVE YOU NOT HEARD, HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

HOW MUCH I CARE. YOU WHOSE HEART SHINES UNTO ME LIKE UNTO THE MOST PRECIOUS JEWEL IN THE BOUNTY OF MY FATHERS TREASURE CHEST.

MY CHOSEN ONE DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT WHEN I WAS IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE I WAS SORROWFUL FOR WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO GO THROUGH. MY TEARS FELL AS GREAT DROPLETS OF BLOOD.

THEN MY FATHER BROUGHT YOU TO MIND AND IT STRENGTHENED ME TO CARRY ON.

DO YOU KNOW THAT I COULD HAVE ASKED OF MY FATHER AND HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THIS CUP FROM BEFORE ME.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS THEY ARRESTED ME AND CAST ME UNTO PRISON AND I WAS DENIED DELIVERANCE AND THEY RELEASED ANOTHER INSTEAD AND CHEERED FOR ME TO BE CRUCIFIED.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS THEY TORE INTO MY FLESH WITH THE WHIP.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS THEY TAUNTED ME AND SPAT UPON ME.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS THEY THRUST THE CROWN OF THORNS UPON MY HEAD.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS I DRUG THE CROSS TO CALVARY. I THOUGHT OF YOU AD THEY NAILED MY HANDS AND FEET TO THE CROSS. I THOUGHT OF YOU AS THEY CAST LOTS FOR MY CLOTHES. I THOUGHT OF YOU AS MY BLOOD RAN DOWN TO THE GROUND. I THOUGHT OF YOU AS I DIED THERE ALONE ON THE CROSS.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AS MY OWN, MY GIFT FROM MY FATHER.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AND HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, AND AS I LOVE YOU SO DOES MY FATHER......

PS

I HAVE GONE TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU

I SHALL RETURN SOON

UNTIL THEN OCCUPY

 LOVE ALWAYS

 JOHN 3:16
Your Birthdate: February 11

Your birth on the 11th day of the month makes you something of a dreamer and an idealist.

You work well with people because you know how to use persuasion rather than force.

There is a strong spiritual side to your nature, and you may have intuitive qualities inherent in your make up, too.


You are very aware and sensitive, though often temperamental.

Although you have a good mind and you are very analytical, you may not be comfortable in the business world.

You are definitely creative and this influence tends to make you more of a dreamer than a doer.

This is probably the best and most honest poem I have ever seen on the subject of being a christian. It is truly the way I feel but could never express the way Ms. Angelou does.

BEING A CHRISTIAN - By Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow.

Everyday

Tell those u love excatly that for one never knows what tomorrow will bring

Today


Talked to Miriam, Sandee, Beckee and Mimi on the phone four women that I like and think are strong women, Miriam because she has always fought for what she thinks is right and has always been indenpendant wise lady.
Sandee: She is in recovery and going back to school and doing well in her school work among all the adversity that goes on around her.
Mimi: for fighting so hard to get her baby back she waited a long time for her and is not going to let them steal her child.
Becky: For always fighting for family, friends she is a firecracker
four ladies that I believe took after mom in that they have her strength her and  fight for whats right
