Hearing Your Own Voice

I spoke these words to my son last Sunday. He's in the habit of running his plans and ideas past me and his dad... work, church, Jalen, women, military, school... almost over and over again as often as he thinks.

And often, he's thinking too hard, 2 much. Out loud and in writing. But it must be theraputic. As he told of his work and school plans, turning down an 8-5 may be infavor of his midnight shift, the pay, the hours, the flexibility of going to school in Aug 09 -- knowing his supervisors and the routine.....

It's good, nuthin for us to say... encouraged him that God is guiding his footsteps.

It's really good to see him relaxing, calming down for the first times since returning from Iraq. I see God workin!

Quite a Boy....

GENIUS.... in the making

Looks like BT.......

Jayboy in Church!

Lord, let there be virtue and a reward as I involve Jalen in Children's Choir. First steps in training a child in the way he should go: planting the word in song that will be brought back to his remembrance. That Jalen will accept the gospel of Jesus Christ, accept Christ as his Lord and personal Savior....

Back to the Gas Meter - thing . . .

I posted this on FB and it was LOL: and Tony gave a response as such...."daddy I'm really with u on this 1! He's got no business breakin stuff that dont belong to him..."

Broke, busted up proved right. Sunday evening, Lawrence went out to back yard, messed around and smelled gas fumes. Ok- ONG called 911 to check it out.

Innocent... butt naked . . memaw's boy

Good facts about the King of POP

Thriller is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Michael Jackson. The album was released on November 30, 1982 by Epic Records

Thriller cemented Jackson's status as one of the predominant pop stars of the late 20th century, and enabled him to break down racial barriers via his appearances on MTV and meetings with President Ronald Reagan at the White House. The album was one of the first to use music videos as successful promotional tools—the videos for "Thriller", "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" all received regular rotation on MTV

At its peak, the album was selling a million copies a week worldwide. In just over a year, Thriller became—and currently remains—the best-selling album of all time. Sales are estimated to be in excess of 60 million copies sold worldwide. Seven of the album's nine songs were released as singles, and all reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards at the 1984 Grammys, including awards in three different genres—pop, R&B and rock.

Thriller was preserved by the Library of Congress to the National Recording Registry, as it was deemed "culturally significant."

Unlike many artists, Jackson did not write these songs on paper. Instead, he would dictate into a sound recorder; when recording he would sing from memory

The Girl Is Mine"; the funk pieces "Billie Jean" and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"; and the disco set "Baby Be Mine" and "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)"

Family Joke -- Thriller

Thriller was not funny to Tony.... he was maybe 3-4 yrs old... we had a famous brown/gold plain lookin love seat and sofa (forever) and he would peep around the back to see thriller on TV... then hide as MJ caught the girl in the house... and then the hands and people came up out of the cemeter graves!!! too, too funny....

A Week Goes by.....

Am chat with T: during the week his facebook sounds like "trying to make it... waiting for school to start" It was funny when I posted a famous LEROY picture.... on Sho Nuff!

I admire my son as he goes thru the tough time.... he said he is without hot water in his one-bed apt.... laughingly -- boil water 4 bath and cold showers..... of course he & J-boy will drop by 4th July weekend for a hot shower.

Things will indeed get better -- wth the help of the Lord!
