SITE ANNOUNCEMENT:

The name/location of my blog has changed from “The Black House” to “Building Heaven, Battling Hell”. The BH theme remains the same but time and circumstances dictate a name change.

Reflecting over the deaths of several relatives caused me to take more seriously the concept of making heaven for myself while I live rather than waiting to receive some “pie in the sky” after I die.

It goes without saying that there’s plenty of “hell” to be found all over the earth and that we have to “battle” on a daily basis in everyday life. Life is short for any of us, considering that each day we live brings us closer to the time we will have to depart and “return to the dust.” So, why not make the most of the time we have, seeking to achieve every goal or dream that we have and suck as much joy, laughter and peace out of this life as we can get, i.e., build a heaven for ourselves, starting from the inside out.

This is now my daily focus and prayer and will be reflected in the postings on my blog. Thanks for reading and accompanying me on this unpredictable yet exciting evolutionary journey. (Read “You Ain’t Going to Heaven When You Die“)
