MY CUP OVERFLOWS...BUT SOME OF US STILL ARE HUNGRY

Thank you Irma. You're showing just a few ways of your helping brings unity and that is wonderful!

AMEN, Misreal!!!

Irma....you have caused tears in my eyes. I was actually crying as I wrote this reply...I am touched deeply inside.

Hello Ricardo, I thank for you for offering your way to help us know data collection is useful. However, I care more about sharing and helping more in a local person to person way. You have my gratitude for your comments. I may consider it helpful one day. Thanks.

Me, I love the return to natur that a bad economy brings...home gardens, home cooked food especially maybe even home madeyeast bread...bikes or walking...riding the public bus and not taking the car,,shoping for value and nutretion and not for convient foods, ect...saving a few trips to the doctor from high blood presser...it is all good. I am so glad we got lots of rain this year so now fishing.lol(smile)

but, as always there is a down side as we are in for more rain...the rice fields acroos the high way from me has not been able to be planted yet...my vegetable garden can not be till as it is too wet...but my flower gardens are doing well and I have lots of veg. seeds already coming up in containers...all over every where I cna find a spot to put a container.lol

as you write the gardening blogs MIISRAEL I don't think I am too far off topic...and as it is already sunday where you live, I look forward to your Sunday prayer, MIISRAEL (smile)...lov ya...

hanna, you may be suprised to konw that the life you just described is why we are considered today as decendants of Africans to be lazy..we lived by the sun and moon and weather clock and not by the time of the rat race...

One of the reasons "I" am so obsessed with learning and, always chant(pray) more will want to learn about our true and real BIA...

our true cuture.(smile)

AND, I DO NOT WANT TO EMBARASS SISTER MIISRAEL, BUT MIISRAEL IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THE NATURAL SPIRITUAL BOND BETWEEN OUR RACE THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS LATELY...AND, YES THIS BOND IS ALSO TAUGHT IN African-centered BIA HISTORY ClaSSES TODAY...example,

When you pass a stranger that is Black do you automatically smile or say "HI" or offer some form of recognition as an automatic...this also is that natural bond...please notice this when you do it the next time.(smile)

AND, WHILE "I" AM AT THIS...MIISRAEL HAS THE SAME GIFT AS MY YOUNGEST SISTER KIM. (S-M-I-L-E)

AND, i JUST LEARNED THIS LATE LAST NIGHT...

i WILL SAY THIS TO HANNAH AND SHUT UP...SISTER HANNAH IF YOU LIVED NEAR ME, YOU COULD RIGHT NOW WALK AMONG MY FLOWERS UP AND COMING UP AND PICK SOME EVER BEARING STRAWBERRYS AND JUST POP THEM INTO YOUR MOUTH...I WILL THINK OF YOU WHEN I GO PICK SOME TODAY. (smile)

MIISRAEL, I (my family) have a giant vegetable garden and many fruit trees and two nut trees...I always take food (to give in thanks) to our police and sheriff departments...

I take them candy on valintine day and give them thank you cards just because at any times the year...

I began this years ago out of guilt of us having so much and not being in need...this blog is just wonderful and food for thought and unity. (smile)
