I know most of the world has already moved on

but I still can’t get over the fact that Whitney Houston is gone.

It saddens my heart, especially hearing her songs now.

That’s the thing about when people die… the things about them that are even meant to make you happy still have that wave of sadness through it, when you remember that there will be no new memory to create. No new song to sing. Just a constant reminder of the past.

I believe she is resting in peace. It comforts my heart that she knew who Jesus was.

and that’s all I have to say about that.

Watching “Our America”

and the topic is America’s prisons and the fact that Black Males make up roughly 45% of the prison population… possibly more. 

My heart is just breaking, watching these men who could’ve had so much promise, just choosing these paths, or ending up on these paths. Feeling that they have no other option, realizing we live in a world that doesn’t offer many options for these men.

I can’t help but think how God created us all for so much more and just… how we ended up so far from that.  

Sheep and Oil.

I remember I heard once in a sermon, about how since ancient times, shepherds have put oil on the heads of their sheep for various reasons, one being a preventive measure against parasitic worms.

There is a specific worm, that targets the brain. Once that worm enters the sheep’s body, it begins to eat at the brain, causing severe neurological damage until the sheep ultimately dies.

You anoint my head with oil. 

Thankful, indeed. 

तनीशा

that is, supposed to be my name written in sanskrit. 

which means “ambition”

finding this out was a great way to end my night.
