Violence hits home
This is a prayer request: I know some of my readers do not believe in the Christian God, but whatever entity you believe in I would like for you to offer up a prayer for my friend Mr. Riley. He has been a friend of my family from before I was born. He has helped me so many times in life and he is very dear to my heart. This morning he was shot in a robbery attempt outside his home in Jamaica. At point blank range the thieves fired 3 shots at him and thank god they missed on 2 of the shots, the third made contact. He is however in stable-good condition and will recover (how well I do not know because its hard to get details from peeps while they are at hospitals) However, I would just ask that you all throw up a prayer for he and his family and also for the community as a whole. Sadly young men in Jamaica are no longer content with simple robbery, in so many cases they are shooting at their victims. God help us all.

About Me
- Cali J
- Cali-J ueber alles in der Welt. Some think that I am mean; (I call them friends), in fact I am not that mean. What I am is sarcastic and dry to the sandpaper level. I have friends that I have never said a kind word to their face, but I praise to the ends of the earth to anyone I know and will defend them to the end. That’s just how I roll! My boys know that I am down for them, my girls know that no matter what I will keep them safe (and occasionally flirt with them [If you are a female friend of mine and think I haven’t flirted with you it just means you didn’t notice, it was extremely subtle or…not yet ]). No one is safe from my sarcasm even my own parents; hence of course as a kid I spent a significant amount of time in punishment. I treat people with respect if I think they deserve it – everyone starts off with the same amount of respect from me (a lot). You don’t need to earn my respect; you have to keep my respect.
