Words in Ripples...
...a destiny of streams, a reality of rivers, a hope for oceans, but a vision of seas...

Why Is That???
My brother is a distinguished brother of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. who now lives in Florida. He was telling me that there was a heavy downpour down in Jacksonville and when it gets like that the officials close the roads down so he drove onto FAMU's campus {his alma mater} and decided to go over the Que House but he first ran into some Deltas. He walks up and tells them his name and says whatever it is that they say to identify themselves and the girls took him over to the Delta house and made him a lil dinner and called some of the bruhs to come over too. While he was telling me this, my mind starts to wander {as usual} and I was wondering...Greek organizations only need to see their colours or their hand signs & letters and they're willing to do whatever to take care of each other, no matter where they pledged, when they crossed, or who their Dean and ADP were but Christians DON'T DO THAT!! Why is it that we serve the same God, worship on the same day, study the same book but talk about each other, look down on one another, won't work too hard to help eachother out?

Over time there's been this "thing" that has found its way under your skin-hurts you in the worst way possible, disappoints you beyond explanation, betrays you beyond belief, even slaps you directly in the face with disrespect and lack of consideration. With all of this, it has managed to give you some of the happiest, safest, and memorable moments in your life; you shared a special occasion, kept it close during some of the most important/trying times you've ever experienced, you even prayed for it. Boldly, you showed and proclaimed that you were faithful, loyal, and totally in love with this "thing"and it made it's vow of 'destiny', but silently it hid it's "devotion" and "loyalty" to you all the while forming allegiances with other owners proclaiming almost the same pledge it made to you, to them. You find out, you are bruised without hope of recovery and now pain floods your eyes and streams its way to the deltas that were formed the 1st and 2nd time this happened. Well, why is it that we hold on to that loyalty, why do we inconvenience ourselves because they've had a hard life, why do we give those streams a chance to flow-do we long for longer rivers or deeper seas?

The chance of a lifetime has fallen in your lap, you have every means you need to see this through. People are counting on you, You are counting on you but yet and still there is something lurking in the background that won't let you win. You know that there are a few things you need to change, found your weaknesses and identified some of the problems, but still you cannot seem to get it totally under control. Why are you distracted and thrown off course? Why is it that your present situation doesn't match with your future's vision? What is it that keeps the embers glowing, that makes you hell bent on making it stick?
