In Barbados The Rocks Point To Charleston





Barbados: a definite Charleston connection


A sweet connection can be felt once the name Charleston comes up. When you say South Carolina or Charleston in the island of Barbados to any older person a sweet familiar warmth is immediately felt. It’s the same warm feeling that comes from the Gullah people. The love that is shown with the Gullah culture is on full display on an entire Island. It’ the same feeling I get it when I join up with them in June for the Sweet Grass Festival in Mt. Pleasant SC. You may call it laid back, they just call it Island-Pace. A full week of on the island and I have yet to hear an argument among anyone. And, believe me there where many chances for them to “go-off” on some people I wanted to go-off on for them. However, the pace stays exactly the way they like it.
Once called the Post Office of Charleston, there is plenty of history between the two places. The architecture, the landscaping and the colors all have connection. Many of the plantations where designed on the island. Event the huge rocks off the coast seem to walk out as if they are trying to reach out to something. That something may well be Charleston.

  Enjoy the view of the pictures and you may get an itch to take a flight.

Art and The community Effect

http://www.gallerieswest.ca/blogs-and-buzz/can-public-art-change-a-community/
Marcus Bowcott, Canada, "Trans Am Totem," n.d
 
 "Art is propaganda for what really matters: the way we live
 rather the way we think we should live."
Philosopher Alain de Botton
 
 
 
What does art really say and mean to the community?
What does the absence of it say?
 
Questions that every community deals with even if it doesn't think about it. Life cannot survive without creating. Inspiration comes from the deep thoughts of the creator.

Fitness: New Hydration Rule

https://www.outsideonline.com/2148776/new-rules-hydration
 
Sweat and the lost of electrolytes can cause big problems. Thirst is not a good way to measure hydration.
 
https://www.outsideonline.com/2148776/new-rules-hydration
 
has a great article on a hydration study. There is a simple way to measure that I would have never thought of on my own. It's worth the read. Any feed back on the article would be appreciated.

Happy Easter






 
My prayer is for all to have a great Easter weekend. This is a time that I am full of joy. Thank God for His Son (Jesus) and the sacrifice He made so that we can LIVE. No matter where you are I hope that you take the time to thank Him. My son is still in college and will not be home on Easter Sunday but we had time with him during the week. We met him in Atlanta, Ga. to continue my wife’s month of celebration (Birthday, Easter, Anniversary, and Wine Day? LOL) Arianna Grande is one of her favorites. So she was surprised with tickets and meeting her son. Aaaaahh that’s so sweet. I know. We had a great time with everything. The only draw back was traffic. I watched the news when the fire on I-85 happened. It did not register how much havoc this causes Atlanta. Everyone in the city is affected by the lost of such a main interstate artery. I feel for you Atlanta. And, I pray that things are repaired quickly.  
Regardless of whatever is going on for you this weekend please take the time and give God Praise for His love for us. If you don’t know Him just stop and pray for Him to reveal to you who He is.
 
God’s Love

However, did you know that the palmetto (Sabal palmetto) is not an actual tree. Some botanist do not consider it a tree at all. And to take it a step farther it actually taste like cabbage when cooked.

Easter Week Verses: A Humble Life

http://c-f-legette.pixels.com/
 
 “With what shall I come before the Lord,
    and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
    with calves a year old?
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
    with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my first-born for my transgression,
    the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
He has showed you, O man, what is good;
    and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
    and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6: 6-8
 

Tim Tebow Welcome To Columbia SC

In his first appearance and first at-bat as a Firefly in Columbia, SC Former Florida Gator standout and Pro Football player Tim Tebow hits a two run homer. The FireFlies are glowing. It could've have stated any better for the season. A full house for the opening day game with celebrity Tim Tebow knocking one out of the park, will definitely help the ticket booth sales.
 
Congrats to Tem Tebow , the FireFlies and Columbia, SC.
There is a lot happening (in sports) in the city in such a short time.
