Just In From Church... What A Night!

[Darwin.Hobbs]

I started not to go because I just didn't feel like it. No sense in lyin'... I wasn't feelin' it tonight y'all. Just wanted to chill at home with the wifey...but, I pressed my way. Bishop Long ended up callin' me up to sing. He encouraged all the peeps there to support Worshipper too, so that was good. I can't believe what I thought would be a stress filled night of "forced corporate worship" ended up being a huge blessing. One of my best friends from childhood Leanne Palmore went with me. She's here in Atlanta on music biz... Lou (as I call her) sings with CeCe Winans and was here for a TBN taping last night. She's also staying over to do some overdubs for the upcoming Juanita Bynum album. So, we had a great time at church to say the least.

I shared with Lou an acronym the Lord gave me for FEMA while sitting in church...FAITH that ENDURES through MUCH AFFLICTION. This whole Katrina thing has got me asking hard questions of God. And y'all please spare me the whole surprise bit about me asking God questions. HE CAN HANDLE ANY QUESTION I HAVE. Katrina has caused me to re-examine everything on my IMPORTANT THINGS AND PEOPLE LISTS. Really, just as Jesus kinda compartmentalized people... like the multitude, then the 12, then the one who laid on his breast (the closest), etc... I do the same with people and things in my life. I have people that I categorize as "the multitude", which are people that I don't have "intimate" relationship with...you know.. just passerbys. Then I have the "12" (like the 12 disciples)...which represent my close friends who I might talk to periodically (immediate family,etc)...then, I have who I call my "covenant partners". I only have like 2 or 3 people like this in my life. These people I like to consider myself at 100% with. By that I mean they know 100% of the inner workings of Darwin. NO MASKS, NO PRETENSE, NO FAKIN IT...NO RELIGIOUSITY...NO "EBO SHONDA KELYAH BO TAY"... ITS JUST...simple and plain, honest and true Darwin. Who are these people in your life? Think about it... I guarantee you this... after careful consideration, you'll be doing some shifting and moving around of folk. Its so funny to listen and watch people try to occupy space in my life as a covenant partner, when in my mind...they are STRAIGHT MULTITUDE! LOL... aight, I'm sleepy...hit you guys up tomorrow. One love!
