Feeling Chillin'
After I slept off what I thought was a severe bought of acid reflux (3hrs. later), it was time to pick up Unneeda (my wife) from work. Somehow I knew better than to drive myself, so I had my daughter Kendra drive me rather than risk the lives of others with me behind the wheel.
We picked up Unneeda and since it was payday Fri. we ripped & ran taking care of errands. We stopped to pick up some fried buffalo & whiting fish. Unneeda dropped me off at home as she was to continuously rip and run, which was too much running for me. Anyhow, after I devoured my fair portion of buffalo, I was naturally sleepy and decided to go upstairs and retire early.
As soooon as I made it up the stairs and laid down, bam! My plans of going to bed on my fried fish diner was out the window, the pain was relentlessly back! My son GB called his mother and asked that she come home as soon as possible. Of course by the time Unneeda made it home the pain was gone. I decided to check my blood preasure and would you know it? My pressure was excellent! Perplexed, I called my mother in law for her advice and she suggested that I go to the hospital ASAP! "Go to the hospital" "Huh", I thought, "it’s 10pm and I would be up all night…" so I did one of my usual pass the phone to Unneeda bits, "your daughter wants to talk to you" and got off the phone, with the intentions of going straight to bed. I took 5 steps towards the bathroom and it was as if RED FOX (Fred Sanford) was back from the dead…"UNNEEDAAAAA! THIS IS THE BIG ONE!"
...whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
James 4:13-15

As I sit here reading( having stumbled upon your blog) I am in tears with pride-realizing what a blessing it has been to have met you. Interestingly enough- I understand that having met you and REALLY knowing who you are- two different things. I appreciate the person you expressed here.
I thank God for your transparency. You have given me a new revelation on the appreciation of life and how Life is ----but a vapor.
Having suffered a stroke unexpectedly and spending 4 days in ICU to the tune of $164,000. (COME ON HEALTHCARE REFORM!!!) I know how that causes us to lean and depend on God.
He says Call on his name and he will answer, knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Seek him and he will be found.
We do call on him in our time of crisis. And God does intervene with a peace that surpasses ALL UNDERSTANDING! it just don't make no sense how peace comes in the time of turmoil! smile!
I know that God has kept you around here a while longer, because your work on this earth is not finished yet!
Thanks for the encouragement. I know that I was very blessed today. I love you, and your beautiful wife Uneeda. ( I was thinking how much fun she and I had in Mississippi and New Orleans). I adore your kids and am proud of their MANY accomplishments. Nigel is always talking about GB and the ministry he does at church.
Just know if either of you ever need anything! I am around. I know that in this life there are some interesting twist and turns, but in spite of how things have turned out- WE ARE FAMILY!
May God Bless you and keep you is my prayer for you Glenn and your Family.
Stay inspired to share with others!
Love Maggie
