Love Notes, From He to He 2 (Continued)



Hey boy, since you just heard my name again, how do you feel. You want to stop reading. Yeah I understand but I think you should know better. You have heard some dude talk about me. Those dude are ‘scallywags’. Yeah, that is the way they behave. They chant Jesus like imbeciles. They disturb you with their noise. When you approach them with a problem, they have no mind of their own. They just chant Jesus like they are paranoid or senile being.
But now you are here again. Another ‘scumbag’ is delivering you another note from me but all you are doing is looking for something to put you off. You will definitely find one. His handling of the package might not be to your specification because you did not order for it in the first place. I sent it to you, so leave how he handles it to me and focus on my notes to you. Let my investment in you count because I know you are not stupid. My dear friend read between lines. If you claim to be half as wise as you are, please read between the lines. I don’t know when your next package will arrive and I don’t know what condition you will be when it arrives. So pay attention to this.

Now let me tell you how I feel about you. I wanted to whoop your ass many times because you have been too stupid to see me. I have even whooped it sometimes but you seem not to see it. One of my delivery men told you but you hated his gut so much that you just wouldn’t listen. It was one of his many hallucinations. Yeah they are always like that; seeing strange things and saying gibberish. Oh boy, you have let what people say or do in my name colour you prejudice. Every time I drop a note for you at your door, instead of you reading my notes, you were disgusted by the way the delivery man dressed. He looks shabby and unkempt and that made you just throw all my love notes into the bin. You look at him and you did not see the precious gifts in my notes. I sent you many gifts but they all ended in your trash. The delivery man had no idea of what I sent to you. Yet your eyes were on him. You detested the odour of his mouth, you cringe at his dress sense. You laughed and mocked his incoherent words, his accent was a put-off. There was nothing good about him. You did not bother for once to even check the package I sent you. I was hurt. I was mad at you and at a point I got tired of you. But I kept sending different delivery men. I once sent you one who was well put together but you felt he was too good to be true. At a point I felt you were a bastard. Yes I did and if not that we have a common father, I would have held unto my assumption. Why did you not read all the notes I sent you. The world taught you a strange philosophy, " You cannot separate the message from the messenger", and you kept that message glued to your heart and you became a hypocrite. You started showing people your own good part and the only thing you say about my delivery guys are their faults and weaknesses. I looked at your stupidity and for once I saw how stupid you were. For real you are the ‘stupidiest’ person I have seen.

Please go and rest. I know I have chide you enough because I am hurting myself.

The Beautiful Ones are not Yet Born

History is a reminder of feats and exploits of the past. Date and time might sometimes have significant value but what is often crucial is the feat(s) achieved and when such feat is repeated or surpassed another history is written.   The writer of the book of Hebrew simply called those historical feats recorded in the previous chapters (11) as cloud of witnesses (12:1). Those clouds of witnesses are there to remind and urge us on that we can repeat similar feats and even surpass them. The writer summed it up in the last verse that we can do better and those who have gone ahead of us are waiting and urging us to surpass those feats. They will be ridiculed if we cannot surpass them. They would be incomplete if we shrink in comparison to their achievements.  History does not limit us in any form and does not want us to shrink at all from such exploit. All history is about is for us to leverage on those feats and stand on the shoulders of those heroes to see further. History be...
