This is where I came in

Isaiah 40:31: "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wing like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint"

Isaiah 2:4: He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore."

Of dribs and drabs:

1) Don’t want to talk about my last examinations in Birmingham

2) Exercised my constitutional right and international right to vote. That’s all I’ve got to say

3) Have been digging through other Toto songs such as “Lea”, “Mushanga”, “A Thousand Years”. As Jeff Porcaro, the beacon of Toto despite him not being physically remarked, social issues were kept out of Toto songs until their families came by. I must say that Toto songs real conduct powerful messages through out the years. They aren’t ear blasting songs—they carry essential themes as seen in “Africa”, “Only the Children” and “Bottom of Your Soul”.

4) The same group founding members save Bobby Kimball will be inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame this October. It goes to show that despite the numerous critical commentaries about their performances and music, despite being disliked by their own home crowd, they finally receive an award they all rightly should have been given years ago

Updates much later….
