Good MORNING!
Yup, homeboy is writing this in real time! I catch one every once in a while, heh heh. Hope your summers are going well thus far! Yesterday I hit up the Dragon Boat Festival here in Boston and caught the Taiko (Japanese Drum) Performance. It was ILL!!!!!! Taiko is da bomb. Especially the huge Taiko Matsuri I witnessed in Japan, yooooooooo! Aight, on to... da Word!

Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
- James (James 1:4)
Awwww yeah! Back in James, mmhmmm! Most of chapter one is about bustin' a beat down on the trials and temptations that might try and stage a coup on you. Matter o' fact, James starts it by saying, "Yo, think it straight ILL son! Pure JOY potnas! ...whenever these kats try to pounce." See, bruthaz and sistaz, these "tests" will increase your level with a quickness. Levelin' up is hot! But getting there is tough sometimes. And thus perseverance is KEY.
No matter what the trial, no matter what the test, no matter what the situation, we gots to persevere. If we do not let perseverance run its course, we are likely to quit and let life have its way with us. Naw lo! That ain't how it's meant to be! Take life by the horns and make it yours! We cannot become complete in our being without persevering. Think about your role models and great leaders both historical and present. I bet each one gained such a high position and value in your eye because they each persevered through something.
Go out into the world then and face life full bore; welcome its trials with a spark in your eye and a smirk that screams, "Bring it on! I know something you don't..... (I've got Pops above on my side)." Persevere! And potnas, let this be your mantra:
Not by any means necessary but against all odds.
G-bless,
