Last night I watched Million Dollar Baby. Let me just say I am a big sucker for punishment. Everytime I watch Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman together they take me way up in the sky; then drop me below the ground. Take me up; drop me again. By the time they are done with me; I've come undone.
So after that cryfest I click on TBN and Juanita Bynum is on there, talking about racism in church. Now she didn't have to go there. Because I stayed up until 4:00 am praying with her and the Church Universal. Lord, Jesus...
So I get up late. Make Selah a sugar induced breakfast(pop tart and carrot juice,) click on Alvin & The Chipmunks for her and stagger in the living room. 'Cause I'm writing from my comfy couch this mid-morning. My female self needs this week to rejuvenate.(Thanks, Lisa Samson, for being on one accord.)
I'm writing Chapter nine of my novel and then my editor calls me about a book review that she extended for me, but decided to take back, because I'm thinking her body is on the same accord as mine.
So then I send my review(the real reason why I was watching Million Dollar Baby in the first place,) then check my blog and news feeds and finds, yet, someone else on one accord with me this morning--The Master Artist Blog. But on the part of lazy writing, poetic prose and book reviews.
So(see how many times I cluttered this blog with this bad word)...here I am instead of getting back to Chapter nine or taking a Midol and passing out until the Chipmunks movie is over I'm telling the five/ten people that read this gunk, because...
God is calling us to unify. I believe in my spirit. It has led me all week to one connection, another connection, and then another. God wants us to connect. Pray together. Work together. Maybe it's the CBA Convention. I couldn't go, but I know a few who are there and so I'm there in spirit. Or maybe it's that my best friend, Ashley, assistant pastor at Wellshire Presbyterian in Denver is there, smiling and praising GOD for all of you who were there. Or maybe it's the world and the things that are happening in it. The Good things like Christian gothic novels, Kindergarten, Hello Kitty, and Funnel Cakes at IHOP.
Whatever it is my soul seeks prayer partners. If you want to pray together with me. You don't have to email me. Just meet me with the Lord at midnight(your time) and let's hear what he is trying to say to us. I will tell you what he said to me in the morning. Maybe you can tell me what he said to you, too. And be lifted up.
Until then let's get back to our writing.
Writing to see what the end's gon' be,
