Notes by La'Rue

For the past couple of weeks, it’s rained quite a lot in Alabama. I’m not talking about a few showers here or there, but thunderstorms. I’m actually grateful for it, considering the weather has been ridiculously hot and uncomfortable. However, no matter how uncomfortable the temperature’s been, or how much rain we’ve received, I find […]

Not just today but everyday, celebrate and enjoy your life. And may it be “explosively” fun! La’Rue

You know that uneasy feeling that you get when you’re riding in a car, and someone turns to you and says, “Get comfortable. It’s about to be a long ride.” I imagine that’s how millions of people are feeling today, uneasy and uncertain about having to take the long way to reach their destiny. No […]

Some people have few, most have many, while others have no one at all But in times as these everyone needs someone they can depend on, run to or call Some are described as iron-clad, tight as a fist, and some remain unspoken Many didn’t grow up with one in the home, because it was […]

There’s nothing that irks me more than someone who takes what one is responsible for and try to pass it off as their own.

I’m an extremely affectionate, selfless, and loving person. I want so much better (and more) for people than they do themselves, sadly. I make it a mission to make sure others are taken care of, often before I do myself. It’s tiresome, but the joy they receive is far greater than the exhaustion I feel. […]

As I was awaiting today’s word from God, suddenly I was led to the word of God. Genesis 50:20 states, “…. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.” God will often use us to render aid to save lives. We see this happening with Joseph, ourselves and so […]

Floyd Mayweather, or “Money Mayweather,” as he’s most known as, is considered to be one of the greatest boxers to ever set foot in the ring. His dominance, upper-cuts, jabs, and ko’s, has no doubt earned him the title of undefeated champ. His impeccable record is a lot to be proud of, as he’ll go […]
