“There’s a time of the day when the sun is going down, that’s the golden time of day. It’s a time that the sun turns gold all around, that’s the golden time of day. At the end of the day when the wind is soft and warm, don’t it make the flowers sway? When the sun settles down and it takes a lovely form, that’s the golden time of day. People let me tell you there’s a time in your life when you find who you are, that’s the golden time of day. In your mind, you will find you’re a bright shining star, ooh that’s the golden time of day… Frankie Beverly and Maze

“How can I give thanks for all the things you have done for me. Things so undeserved yet you gave to prove your love for me. And the voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude. All that I am and ever hope to be I owe it all to Thee. To God be the Glory” Andre Crouch
Praise the Lord Saints, I’m celebrating 42 years and, “I ain’t no ways tired,” of working with the most dedicated and committed public servants in the federal government and, “I never could have made it without you,” Marvin Sapp. 42 years ago, I thought this was a temporary stop as I completed my educational journey, receiving my Master’s degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling. If you want to hear God laugh tell him your plans. People ask when are you going to retire, but I remember the words of my friend Mildred Harris at her retirement celebration, “You know when it’s time.”
Thinking of you Joanne, James “Dickey” Harris, Alvin Jones, Bernice McDaniels and Laura and Karl Knight, sending a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.
