All Hail The Queen



Good morning and Happy Sunday all. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. I begin this day thinking of someone who was a big influence on my life and gave me unconditional love even as I was not doing right. One of her favorite sayings was, "it's going to be alright". It may where I get my thinking from. Everyone that she has ever had come in contact with loved her immensely and not to mention the cooking skills that she possessed. I could ALWAYS count on my favorite cake, her German chocolate cake, being there for my birthday. From the rides to the babysitter that my sister and I used to take with her, from allowing me to live with her when I had no place to go, and to being an awesome woman, she will be always remembered by many. Today I introduce to some and present to others, one of the persons who helped me become the person I am, my grandmother, Lilla Mae Birdsong. All Hail The Queen!
As I begin this teaching I want to define the word queen and to do so I am going to go my source which is dictionary.com. The word Queen means as follows; the female ruler of an independent state.

I as well as many others consider my grandmother as their queen in a sense as her independent state included family, friends, strangers, church members, neighbors, and even to pets. All Hail The Queen!!
As I begin this biblical portion of this teaching of All Hail The Queen, I begin in Joshua 2:8-14. In this passage Rahab, a woman from, little means, was used by God to help his people gain the land
that was promised to them by God. My grandmother by trusting in God, did what should could, to shelter, minister and/or cook to help bring lost souls to the kingdom of God. All Hail The Queen!!
As we continue with these teaching of All Hail The Queen we go back to the Word of God and to 2nd Kings 4:22-23. In this passage the woman of God needs help for her son who is dead and gone. The

woman knows the things God can do. My grandmother lived by the mantra of it gonna be alright instilled that in her children, her grandchildren, her great grandchildren, neighbors, coworkers and strangers. All Hail The Queen!!!

As we come to the end of the biblical portion of this teaching of All Hail The Queen I go to Esther 4:15-16. In this passage once Esther realized that not only those that she loved would perish but her
people would be eliminated as well, Esther acted even if it meant death. In ministering to lost souls in some places such as at the places of employment , which was frowned upon, my grandmother looked lead other to their salvation with Christ. All Hail The Queen!

In conclusion of this teaching of All Hail The Queen I want to express that I am going to miss my grandmother as well as many others. She was a fantastic wife, mom, sibling, aunt, cousin, grandparent and great grandmother. As we get ready to celebrate her life I share this scripture of that reminds me of her; 2nd Timothy 4-6-8. For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that Day, and not to me only but also to also to all who loved his appearing. I love you so much Grandma. Miss you so much. You were a Queen to the masses. Please join me in celebrating the life of my Grandmother, Lilla Mae Birdsong, All Hail The Queen!!!

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. I was just going over some things that never meant anything to me before but now they are important terms. See in 2010 I was laid off and took a online skills class through the unemployment offices in Illinois. If I completed the classes I would not only get a computer, a laptop but also a printer. Of course I passed and was one of the keynote speakers at the luncheon for the people who donate to keep the program alive. I have certification in Microsft Word and now know other phrases. Like what is a gigabyte. Before I got my computer I never knew what that was. My friend Ms. Angela Francis has a broadband stick that I she let me use before I moved into my apartment. I have been downloading digital copies of movies to my laptop so I can take them anywhere. I want to do skype or oouvoo but have no one to do them with. I am the host of my own internet radio show. I have start

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
