Just Being Dapper D

NO YOU CAN'T TAKE MY JOY!!!!

Greetings to all of my fellow bloggers,

I know that it has been a minute since my last blog and I do apologize for my unfaithfulness. There have been a series of issues in my life that has kept me away from blogging. To start, I will say that this is a personal apology, once again, to any person or persons that I may have had misunderstandings with in the past. Now in saying that, this does not mean that I am wrong for anything that has happened in these misunderstandings. This is simply turning over a new leaf and starting my life over stress free. This will not be a he said she said battle. That was then and this is now welcome to me.

I am still Dapper D, yet on another level. I don't have time for the childishness of the past. The scripture states that as children we speak as such, but as we mature and become wiser we should change our speech to reflect this change in thinking. In doing so, it also states that we should lay aside every weight or burden that pulls us down. It should be known that a weight is an anchor. All weights may not stop you in your tracks ,but they will however slow down your progress.

There is a negro spiritual that says " I keep so busy working for my Master, ain't got time to die." I am reminded in this spiritual, that my life is to be a praise to God for what he has given me. With my praise, He has given me the ability to have choices and set goals. There was a point in my life where I allowed circumstances and issues to cloud my judgment and my accomplishment of goals. Now, as a planted seed breaking ground for the first time, I am shaking off the dirt that weighed me down that I may blossom and grow into full praise. I refuse to die buried in this dirt, because there are yet unaccomplished goals. In other words, I AM TOO BUSY TO DEAL AND DWELL IN FOOLISHNESS.

I love all and pray that all prosper, however it is time for my change. Just like this seed shaking of the dirt, it too is time to shake of people. It is to be said that this seed is also shaking the many times it was walked on by passersby. In order to grow we must cut ties(pruning), no matter how painstaking. There comes an hour in the day when all should re-evaluate friendships and acquaintances that effect or lives. Therefore, here and now, I have come to that point and put all on notice that your evaluation, as with your college professor's, is now present or over due. We should surround our lives with persons capable of enhancing and complimenting us. At this point in my life, I need more professional, "being about the business of business" friends.

I have shot the breeze long enough. LET'S DO BUSINESS!
