Good Morning Fam!!!!!
This morning I woke up with song by George Duke in my head. It's a reprise of song that's on his album I don't know the name of it but my Lord he is killing on piano. Anyway this past weekend I got a chance to play at this art gallery in Whittier called the Blue Bird Art house. Very nice place that had a lot of great art from local artist. They also have an outdoor patio area where they do live music, spoken word and a DJ. The spot is very well situated in the Arts District of the city. While I was there I got a chance to meet a guy and his son who performed there. He is from Africa and he was talking about the AIDS situation that is going on over there. He made a reference that they treat people with AIDS like they treated people with Leprosy in the bible. So of course you my mind starts go there. Is AIDS the modern day Leprosy? Why is that when people have this disease we treat them like if we touch them we instantly catch it? You know a lot of the children who have this disease didn't get it from having unprotected sex or doing drugs. No they were born with it. This goes to the saying that we must treat everyone the same no matter what. It's already hard enough that they have this disease, they don't need to feel any worse. In everyday life you will encounter people that are going through something whether it be sickness, disease, depression, or just plan hard times. We have to learn how to love our fellow neighbor, family, friend, or even just random person you encounter with. The bible says in Leviticus 19:18 "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD." So basically if you were sick you would want someone to come and see about you. If you were going through a hard time in your life you would want somebody to be there for you. Always think about how you would want to be treated if you were in that situation that the other person is in. Hey today's goal Try Be Nice and Courteous To EVERYONE you encounter today NO MATTER WHAT!!! Well that's it for today, have a great day!! Holla!!
