This past Sunday morning, September 23, 2012, I picked up my Godmother so that we can go to Mass together. We had lunch afterwards. I needed to talk to her for advice and the changes I made in my life. We had a great conversation and I did get some excellent advice that only wisdom and experience can offer. After lunch we went for a ride through the city and looked at the sights. It was a wonderful time. My Godmother is in her 90s and she gets around better than a lot of younger folks. My blessing is that she’s been a part of my life ever since I was a child. I had learned some accurate philosophies from her that still stands true to this day. She is now the matriarch in my world. We spent the better part of the day together and after I got her back home, I headed for the elevator when a young lady asked if I was going down. I won’t go into the details but April & I talked in the parking lot for almost 2 ½ hours! She was visiting an elderly uncle in the same building! What I found interesting and stimulating was how positive and enthusiastic she was. I was struck at the end of our conversation with her well defined explanation of how a marriage should be when built on a true relationship with God. Bottom line, I was impressed, I learned a lot from April. Yes, Sunday was filled with memories, opportunities and thought-provoking concepts. It was a wonderful day! Thank you, Lord!
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.

What was said that captivated you so?
I apologize, April. My last response was very confusing, so I deleted it. To sum it up, the final statements you made came from your heart, not just from experience. I believed in what you said, but at that very moment, I believed in you. That was the closing argument. I hope I answered your question.
