Prayerdollars...A wakeup call for the ones i love.

Less i forget because i'm pouring this out of an aging brain on the spur of the moment....
3 days ago,i was chatting with my younger brother via BBM(Blackberry messenger)while at work hardly working; lol.
We talked about how we could make more money,business ideas we could delve into and all sorts.We joked about different things,trivial issues of life and also talked about mum/dad.
We finally talked about robbing a bank jokingly.Ideas ran through my head, I'lld think they were smart ideas.I don't know what you'lld bring out of my ideas but i think they were quite viable for an ambitious thief.We shoved the joke aside few minutes later and ended our chat session.
It did not end there for me because a few minutes later,i really tried to think about the best way to rob a bank.I came to the conclusion that it'lld probably have to be prayers.I came up with that because i reasoned that previous robbers went into their missions with prayers in their hearts.They prayed to God for a fruitful/successful theft.We all know these are negative missions right???You should think on that....
Did God answer their prayers???......I cannot say.Was it shear luck????I have no answer.But i do know there have been stories of tactful and successful robberies.Hence today,what i can say is "Who are you not to pray to God for whatsoever if the thought process of a bank robber was to pray before he did his harm?"Really,what excuse do you have for your inability to get down on your knees,talk to the G-Man beyond.
I know many of us would not go into prayers for a bad intention/motive,but if the thief will,you might as well...The thief believes that he has to pray to God at the beginning of all his works so He may bring them to a good ending.He does not care about the type of work it is,he just wants a good ending.
If you were the thief,wont you pray?
How about now that you are not....I think you should triple pray...
You are in a prayer duel with the thief.
There are a million reasons to pray,i dont know why i came up with this one but i hope it makes sense to those who can see beyond their noses.God help us all.
Ill leave you with this quote by James R. Bayley- The greater thy business is,by so much the more thou hast need to pray for God's good-speed and blessing upon it,........therefore,though thy haste be never so much,or they business never so great,yet go not about it,nor out of the doors,till thou hast prayed.

Note:My thinking might be slightly skewed,its just my thinking.

Oxygen sensor..Im alive

Undoubtedly one of my favorite artists in the last decade,Marshal Mathers a.k.a "Eminem" has yet again captured my musical interest with his venomous outburst in his 6th album  "Recovery".I have listened to every word,every track...Now this is the Slim Shady i knew especially in his first two CDs...
The Slim Shady LP,The Marshal Mathers LP,The Eminem Show,Encore,The relapse and last but hopefully not the least,the Recovery CD have not disappointed not for a minute....
Whats the catch?Am i here to write about Eminem?Whats the connection?
So i've been busy and out of it for the longest time,i wouldn't say i was seeking for a reason to write or the motivation to blog  but for a while my gears have been changing but creating the same speed.
I must confess..Ive been doing a lot of listening recently.Listening to my parents,my friends,music,Spiritual men of God..name the rest and insert here - (         )
Theres the answer, I've been listening to Eminem,lets stop there.Enough of Em.

I have ideas running from brain cell to brain cell,ideas that give me a reason for a re-definition of my thought process.Ideas that if i don't write down,the person standing or sitting next to me would get a brain melt-down because of what would get into his head from my head. A thought like "do i need a rejuvenation"????Well, I found the answer a few weeks after which is no,im getting wiser with age.Ive embraced aging as i recently added a year about two weeks ago.I have many others that i am yet to decipher myself.
Do you know that we all are standing at zebra crossings and the lines we walk on represent reality flashing at us?Do you know that we are all poets of our unappreciated inspiration? Who would agree that there are actually three sides to a coin?Im going coo-coo thinking about these things.
Let me stop here for today,at least somebody now knows im alive,hale and hearty gathering my facts.I know ive been quiet for too long.When i do get a brain buzz again,ill be sure to hola.Till then....Adios

Angel or What?

He sniffed from the terrible and annoying pollen grains that were set free into the air that morning as he paced down the road trying to catch the first train to his interview location.The cold wind hitting blindly into his face wasn't near enough to slow him down.He increased his pace as he crossed the T-junction downtown Chicago.
The past few weeks had been full of spiritual zeal for Duke.A young man,quite good looking for his age if you would ask the opposite sex,he beleieved what he didn't fear would never hurt him.He was motivated by faith,touched by the unknown and the fear of only tomorrow made him struggle relentlessly in this unfair world.
Now at the train station,he bought out the few nickels he had in his pocket to see if their sum would be enough to let him pay for a round trip.They weren't enough.This was where his passion for success came into play;nothing was going to stop him from getting to his interview.Not minding his financial disability at the time,he got on the train staying positive and hoping a miracle would happen.Well,a miracle did happen,the conductor let him off at the next station!
So back on the streets he was,trying to figure out his next move.He turned to the crowd,gazed into the thin air but no ideas yet.The simple fact was that he didn't have enough money so going back home was inevitable.
He finally decided,he would get a one way ticket and walk the rest of the distance.Not a good idea but okay.
Just as he came up with this thought,a random elderly man walked up to him,his words were "Looks,like you could use some change??...and handed Duke some money".He gladly accepted the money and thanked the old man.The man disappeared into the crowd.Duke made it to his interview.The question,an angel or what?

A deal with the unknown

The year was 1999.Time and place;approximately 3.30pm in Ikeja Lagos,Nigeria.Picture me walking through a bustling and inconsiderate crowd who don't care about how little or fragile i was at time.I was supposed to be making my way back home from the days shower of Math lessons but heres where curiosity and questioning the unknown brought me.I have no idea why i was a target but heres how i went through the day that year.
A man walked up to me, couldn't quite get his sentences together but being a smart kid i gathered and summed up what he was trying to say.He was speaking in French with little English trying to tell me  he was lost and was trying to get directions.I looked at the little piece of paper he had in his hands,the address didn't quite make sense to me.I told him he had things mixed up and there was no way the address existed.He then decided to tell me how he had VCR, TV sets,cell phones to pickup at this address from a Lady he had a business deal with.
Thinking like a child that i was,I immediately told him that he had been deceived or should i say duped...?
I felt like his Alpha and Omega at the time.I felt like i had designed a rocket to the moon,i had just saved someone some time in his life.

To be continued...
