GOD/Allah/Elohim is so faithful!!! Well, everyone, I haven't blogged in over a month, which officially makes me a non-blogger's blogger. But I have a really good excuse. Sleep. Yes. I have been sleeping with the sun--when it goes down, so do I. Too, I began teaching Creative Writing at P.S. 208 for the summer and it's been amazing! Being somewhere with something to do at 8 A.M. every morning has been new for me. But I just got my evaluation and shhhh...I got a perfect score--the only instructor to achieve this or so I was told--but maybe everyone got told this! It's really all about the kids and I'm so happy that they are having a good time. Wednesday is the final day of the program and I will miss the kids and the neighborhood! The neighborhood really embraced my kids who roamed around playing reporter. I'll post pictures later. For the record, I have to disagree with Busta Rhymes who in his song "In the Ghetto" says, "If you ain't never been to the @#%*! ghetto don't come to the @#%*! ghetto!"
I say wherever my people are there I will be--including and especially the ghetto. However, I'm being asked to work in a really "priveleged" neighborhood this school year--this could be a first and I still haven't decided. Lord willing, wherever I end up, it will be where I am supposed to be.
To my friend Angel: I know that you're reading this blog. I can't wait to sift through your blogs that I've missed!!!
And speaking of missing, I've been missing out on a lot lately in the world of athletics--The Dream Team or Redeem Team is in full effect! LeBron--wow!
Dwyane Wade--wow! Meanwhile, I own vintage DREAM TEAM jerseys--Magic Johnson and Joe Dumars to be exact. Barcelona 1992...How old was I then? 10. Wow.
I gotta take pictures so you'll believe me. But I must say the most amazing thing I read today (yes, I'm like months late to this story) is that Dwyane Wade bought his mother a church!!!
Glory be to God!
And in more sporting news, no no, I'm not going to mention Thierry Henry (check back tomorrow for that ;) , today it's my favorite American athlete that I have to praise!
My little cousin began his first day of 10th grade today--he's living away from home, private school, basketball...He's going to be a good man. I have nothing to do with his athletics, but his character--that's my interest--and so far, so good!
Amen.
Amen.
