"These are proverbs about life, not about race. Here are memorable truisms full of wit and wisdom. These are pithy proverbs anyone can understand and powerful proverbs everyone will be able to use."
- Kalamu ya Salaam, New Orleans writer/educator
God works in mysterious ways that smmotiees we don’t understand. Life is full of surprises and detours. If we can stay in tune with God closely, a detour is not always bad. When you strive to be in His will, you listen, and obey. In my life, as you know, God has redirected my path on several occasions, and He has blessed me through it all. I think the hard part is taking self out of the picture and letting God be in the driver’s seat with whatever happens in life. You know what I always say: When God closes a door, He always opens a window.
