The Internet Preachin TROOF Today

Am I in church?  I thought I was sequestered in a library carrel, tired, unmotivated, and unsuccessfully resisting urges to pro-crass-the-nation (I got that from my homegirl), but no.  The Don Miller blog and the Multicultural Listserv started preachin the Word of GAWD today and all I could do was shake my head like an old sanctified black lady who made some sweet potato pies for the silent auction muttering "My, my, my" with a hand held to my convicted heart and let dat troof settle into my soul.

Don Miller blog,"Why Change Can Be Good, Even When You're Not Ready":

Sometimes when we say, “I’m not ready,” what we really mean is that we’re not ready to succeed. And we’re probably right. But the new roles and opportunities that present themselves to us often won’t for us to be 100 percent ready to succeed. Rather, what we need in order to step across those thresholds is a readiness to struggle, learn, and grow. We’re not born ready to be successful professionals, spouses, parents, neighbors, and friends. We become those things over time, through practice and process, sometimes failing, sometimes winning, always persisting.

Preach.  Preaaaach!  Thankya Jesus.

Multicultural Listserv:

The worst thing you write is better than the best thing you didn't write.

Yaaaaas!  The devil IS a liya.

I am metaphorically forehead palming my dissertation and taking spiritual authority over it until it speaks in tongues right now.

After I take a nap, tho.  It is real out here, y'all.
