The Black-Eyed Pea . Top Story - December 2024.
I was going to meet Pam at The Black-Eyed Pea. I didn't like the name of this restaurant. Ironically, I felt like I had a black eye when I left that place. The whole restaurant felt like the size of a large walk-in closet but it was not nearly as welcoming as a closet typically is. I thought to myself that maybe they named it The Black-Eyed Pea because the building was as big as a pea.

When Good and Evil Sing
I don’t like to hear evil sing as loud as good. Sometimes, evil sings loudest. But, good has already triumphed and sung the final note, if you think about it all. Yin and yang doesn’t make sense because good has overcome. Do we see the good loud and clear all the time? No. Sometimes, no. But good is on the way. Justice, is the wrapping paper that covers good. Sometimes justice gets torn and thrown away but it was used to usher in good. It had worth, even though it tarried along the way. When evil takes the stage, remember good already dropped the mic and nothing in history or truth can simply change that.
