What are you doing this evening?   I was listening to the radio and writing essays tonight.  I was meditating to Jesus Christ and God Himself.   I written an essay about making amends with God and Jesus Christ His Son and Everyone Else on Planet Earth.

What does it mean to make amends with God and others?

            Hello Everyone!! I hope that everyone is having a good day today.  I would like to start this off by asking a very important question.  What does it mean to make amends with God and others?  An amends is when someone apologizes for a wrongdoing and change the behavior afterwards.  For instance, when a person commits a wrongdoing, a person is supposed to confer with God first and foremost.  Afterwards, repent for your sins and forgive yourself in the process.  Afterwards, you are supposed to apologize with anyone that you have done wrong to.  Saying I am sorry is really not enough.  You have to change your behavior for the better.

 An example of this is when I told my family members about my brother’s problems, without asking him first.  Some would say that I am a backbiter or a two faced person.  I did not have any business telling my brother’s problems to others.  This is because my brother is getting ready to have a total of 4 children.  I have told him that selling drugs will not pay the bills.  He will have to get a job and keep it for the rest of his life.

 To be honest, I do not have any children because I know that I can barely take care of myself.  Therefore, I would prefer not to have sex with any woman, until we get married.  I would prefer to have a friendship with everyone, man or woman.  This is what I am supposed to do for the rest of my life.  An amends is when you are supposed to admit to your mistake, ask for forgiveness, rectify the wrong, and eventually change the behavior.  It takes a very long time to modify a specific behavior, and change it for the better.  I know that in my case, my family members are not the forgiving type of people.

 I have to ask God to intervene in this matter.  There are a few of my friends, who would rather not have anything to do with you.  When that happens, that is it and it is final with some people.  Some people do not know how to make amends with anyone, or with God the Father.  I also want to inform everyone that I have a brother right now that I really have not spoken to in 24 years.  It hurts me because he does not want anything to do with me.  It is his fault for calling me a female dog at my Great Grandmother’s funeral on August 19, 1994.

 It hurts me because I have to be the better person by apologizing to my brother for fighting him.  He did not understand that my Great Grandmother raised me, while my mother was being treated for Post-Partum Depression.  It also hurt me when my own father died.  I was not notified about him or his death.  I asked my Aunt, where was I during the time my father died?

 I am hurt and devastated because I have not had a chance to resolve any of my active issues with anyone.  Currently, I am puzzled because I have not had a chance to resolve any of my active issues with everyone in my personal life.  I have a cousin who fought me for 9 years.  I am not at the liberty of mentioning his name because of confidentiality issues.  We fought each other as children and teenagers over petty issues.  My biological father is his father’s cousin.  My best friend is really my cousin because our fathers were brothers.  My family members do not really know it.  My own biological father was a light skin man.  I thought my father was fair skinned just like me.  It is going to take God to help me to resolve all of my active issues with each other.  For the moment, my brothers and sisters are not speaking to each other right now.  Please pray for me and my family members because we are not speaking to each other anymore.  Thank you for reading my blog.

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?  Whenever a person displays a great deal of aggression, anger, and wrath.   I will have to leave immediately.  If someone is making sarcastic remarks towards me or someone who is of another race, color, or creed, I will have to leave immediately.   This is because it is perceived as a threat.

Describe your ideal week.  My ideal week consists of attending church on Sunday morning.   Secondly, I usually go directly to the library on Hillcrest AVENUE AND PHILADELPHIA DRIVE IN DAYTONS NORTHWEST SIDE OF TOWN.   THIRDLY, I am solely responsible for attending church on Tuesday for Bible Study.  On Wednesday, I have a doctor appointment and Thursday as well.   Friday and Saturday of this week I will be going to the library and catch up with things that I forgot to do earlier in the week.   Otherwise, my objective is to get to know God

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.  The Los Angeles Lakers drafted Bronny James to their team.  This was his Father LeBron who was responsible for getting his son drafted to the Los Angeles Lakers.  The team itself will help develop Bronny James and help him to improve his basketball skills.
