Wow, ya'll gettin it big this month! 4 Book of Lon episodes in 1 month?? Im fresh home and just coming down off a spiritual high like no other.  I went wit a good close Christian friend of mine to the Shirley Ceasar concert in Parkland (Tacoma).  Oh my goodness it was the BEST concert ive ever been to and the ONLY one ive been to that i knew the lyrics of every song! hahahaha I was raised on her gospel music by my parents and it was just a blessing to be able to see her live and up close.  Now bein you know how i do it, i bought 2 VIP tickets ahead of time.  I asked wifey 4x over the last 1-2 months if she wanted to go.  Each time was met wit a no.  Normally i only ask 1-2x.  Well she called herself gettin a lil pissy wit me earlier this week cause i was gonna go to another concert wit a friend of mine who won tickets to an underground gig in seattle  (same homie that won tickets to the Chris Brown concert we went to)

 

Well I decided to take a friend of mine who i knew would enjoy the concert just as much as i would (whaddup T!) Although she was fashionably late for a gospel concert (yeah im callin you out!) the concert didnt even start till 10min till 8! (was to start at 7)  Bein we had VIP tickets we went straight to the front of the line of a concert that wrapped out the auditorium and almost out the mega church!  got 2nd row seats! (first come 1st serve)  We had a joyous time listenin to hit after hit of her songs.  I took about a minute soundbyte of each song i knew so i could forever remember bein there.  They didnt allow cameras while she was on stage so i got no pics only soundclips but great spiritual memories.  This woman is like... larger than life!  Everyone raised in the baptist church knows who she is and to be so close to someone you were raised on listenin too.... its just crazy!  During one of her most famous songs i called my parents and left it on their answering machine so they could hear it.  I talked to my mom afterward when i was drivin home to assure they got it.

 

After the concert was over we went straight to the VIP lounge (yeah up in the church in VIP! hahahahah) we were the 1st in there too you cant even do that in the clubs! hahahahah  got in there and ate and socialized wit other christians before turnin out round 11sh and back here to upload more cd's on my Ipod before I turn in for the night.

 

I hope you all have a great weekend for me its back to the grind at work first day back in 1.5 weeks! God bless you all

Greetings Greetings people of the World.  Lon Corneilius here wishin you peace, love, and souuuuuuuuuul!!  I write this out of love for God.  That feeling of diamond in the rough.  That "good" in the midst of bad.  I have a friend of mine, we've been friends for yeeeeeeeeeeeeears. since 2001 i believe.  had alotta history together good and bad, ups and downs.  lately been aloooooootta downs.  Like the Book of Lon: Chapter 10, part 2 our friendship went sideways in 04 when I got married.  Another who gave such a hard time thereafter and a couple times severing all ties cause they felt we could no longer be friends now that im married (she was single)  Like anyone else in my life I aint gonna force NOBODY to be my friend.  If its that much of an inconvienience to you that im married now and God blessed me wit my soulmate before you then get on then!

 

Well this has been ongoing for the last 2 yrs.  Severing all contact... gettin back in touch, arguing & not talking... recontacting.  Its come to a head many a times but for some reason we just keep talking.  I think the reason was revealed to both of us tonight.  Last week we were talking online and she was feeling completely depressed down & out.  Well bein the friend to all that I am i offer up and she wants to meet and talk about whatever it is goin on.  Arrangements start to semi be made but then the convo (somehow) turns full circle back on me and my marriage and what i should/shouldnt be doin, etc. etc.  At that time I as DONE done.  Bout to delete any info on her that i had (number, email, messenger id's, etc.)  But somethin told me not to (yet). (More than i can say bout last story's offender. that info's been blowed out my phone! went too far goin to wifey. you done messed up. forgiveable cause Jesus TOLD me i have to but unacceptable and unexcusable.) Ok bout to get riled up all over again on that one lemme stay focused!!  Well doin me today, doin the family thang bein im on vacation till the 28th as it is our 2yr wedding anniversary on monday (tomorrow) and our 9 year anniversary of bein together the same day (married her the same day we got together).  And a txt message comes from my friend.  Down & out again and wantin to try this talk thang again.  Im an easy goin dude, I got love for all (asterick) lol.  Well I got errands i gotta do anyways real quick so im gonna go see whats up and what Lonnie Lon can do.

 

Run my errands, and go see her.  Stop grab a bite to eat & drink and get to talkin.  Of course, bein its what i specialize in we discuss the guy problems.  I should hold a doctorate ive dealt wit it so many times!  But this time (and for the 1st time with this friend) it took a twist that it never did before.  That twist was God.  My suggestion to her was to stop the sac chasin and just follow the Lord.  All that other stuff will fall into place.  Im not gonn bore you wit all the details cause its really not relevant.  The whole point was how it made me feel and how she felt when she left.  She followed me from beginning to end about what i was sayin and that was to leave the worldly stuff to the world, and follow the Lord. all the other stuff will fall into place.  Worryin about wantin to be wit this guy or that girl all that stuff you lost focus.  Man was not made to be alone this is fact (Genesis, God said it is not good for man to be alone, hence He created Eve).  She asked but how do I KNOW this or that person is the one, how did you know your wife was the one.  I told her my own testamony.  If you in sync wit God, you gonna KNOW what He's doin for you, showing to you, and about to do TO you.  My wife when i met her in high school HATED me. couldnt stand me at all and was always dissin me. And i never put up wit that from a gurl.  You dont like me, kick rocks! but there was somethin about my wife that i chased her all the rest of that year (she came to our high school march of 97 and we only had 1 class together. once school was out in June she moved to another school district and I went to college for running start program so i was supposed to meet her for a reason. today she is my soulmate of 9yrs, wife of 2yrs, and mother of my 2 kids)  You gonna KNOW when he puts that one there for you. 

 

She told me outta no where she picked up the Bible that had been sittin on her nightstand for 3yrs and started readin it beginning wit Genesis.  My heart rejoiced for her because i knew she was taking the right steps toward her own salvation (even though she was cussin the whole time, but i knew she was tryin and thats all that mattered to me) and future in the Lord.  She'd ask questions and 95% i'd had immediately answers for and what wasnt to be answered by opinion was answered with a scripture.  I know this helped her especially in matthew when Jesus tells us do not worry about tomorrow as today has enough to deal with (ad lib)  The Lord makes a platform for Him in all cases & scenarios its a matter of can you see that window of opportunity and take advantage of it.  Our convo couldve EASILY stayed secular and told her to just let it pan out and all will be ok and if it was meant to be it'll happen, yada yada.  But as a friend im gonna keep it real wit her or anyone else.  I told her flat out. PRAY.  Im not a believer nor fan of medications.  I believe depression is real but I feel (and i may get flax from man about it but ill catch blessings from the Lord for sayin it) you wanna cure for depression? get on your knees and pray to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Ask for forgiveness of your sins & deliverance from your hinderance of depression.  Does the bible not tell you "ask and ye shall recieve?"  I talk to people not out of false hope, but as a witness.  Ive lived the blessings of my Savior and been very blessed. Why would i not want that from ya'll?? 

 

My friend tonight walked away tonight with the key to her life back in her hand.  Wantin that thirst for knowledge you gonna get it.  Askin Him to take about sinful desires, it will be done in Jesus' name.  Lucifer is in the busines of temptation, tryin to win you back over to himself.  We all must understand, we are ALL human.  All of us are sinner, I still sin everyday (Father, forgive me a sinner)  Whether its takin that one grape off the vine in the store as you pass by or commiting Grand theft auto or 1st degree murder.  Its SIN and all detestable in His eyes.  He didnt promise us another day and when Jesus returns the Bible tells you aint gonna be none of that, "ooooooooooooh yeah! lemme get down wit you now!" Bible tells you thats too lil too late.  Cults out there teaching a false Jesus (Jehovah's Witnesses, Islam, Mormonism, etc) better get right!

 

To my friend this is a special shoutout to you M. Dub!  Do not worry about that dude.  Follow God and the rest will fall into play.  Dont worry about that dude at all if God wants him to be "the one" he'll be there coming back to YOU while you out doin the work and will of God.  Dont get sucked up wit the secular world and partyin, drinkin, smokin (Bible tells you the body is the temple of Christ, if you W.W.J.D the smoking question i DOUBT you'd find Jesus wit tar in His lungs!) Follow the Lord, pray to Him to walk wit you in your Faith, there is no uniform way to have a conversation wit the Lord.  Just talk to'em! Not when you in need of somethin, talk to'em just bein thankful you woke up today to read this Book of Lon!  No one knows the time nor day that He'll return, regardless on the wars, earthquakes, etc thats goin on now.  Just be ready people of the world. Im ready Lord! and M Dub, you keep your head up and be ready too, forsaking all this worldly stuff! Call me whenever you need a friend you know Im gonna pray for you and anyone else out there that needs it.  Please pray for me too. Amen, and Amen.

The end of an alliance.  Last week one whom I deemed a best friend.... I felt somethin was gonna go down and I called it.  That monday I start gettin a line of questioning asked as to my coworker/friend and I carpooling.  Questions such as "how long have we been carpooling?" and "Does my wife and her husband have a problem wit it?"  Already im startin to see where this is goin but bein i considered her a bestfriend im goin along wit the line of questioning.

 

Well then I intercept a interoffice mail message that she was sending to her "boyfriend" who also works in our facility.  The msg was being "prepped" but hadnt been sent.  topic of convo? me and another coworker carpooling and "starting" to share that exact info i was tellin her in confidence.  Blackout mode again.  maybe i should see a doctor for these episodes im havin lately.  Im pisssssssssed that she would DARE talk about me to this dude when she KNOWS i keep my personal life personal and business business.  What the "heck" is the big deal wit 2 coworkers who live 2-3 miles away from each other, BOTH drive SUV's, are friends, and work the same exact hours 2 outta 4 work days together... why does that even need to be a topic of discussion? and why would that EVEN be remotely a problem wit the spouses? we've been doin it for a couple months now.  So we get into it via the same interoffice msgs and I advise her that bridge was just burned and i will NOT be sharin any info about my personal life wit her especially if she feels a need to make it a topic of conversation to people that I INTENTIONALLY do tell ish about my life. 

 

That conversation was deaded and I was off the following day to go to the Chris Brown/Neyo concert wit my friend who I had lost contact wit for a couple years after we had a falling out about her sac-chasin ways and how she needed to get right.  Well she wasnt tryin to hear me then so we lost contact and she left the state.  But thanks to a prominent friends internet site I was able to look her up again and we're back in touch and back to hangin out and talkin again.  Well anywho come yesterday the 1st day back to work after that last fallout I get a request from this alleged best friend i claimed.  She's askin for my wife's cell number.  Yeah you already know im harborin ill feelings about this request so i interrogate as to why.  Women of the world? Your woman's intuition aint got NOTHIN on Lonnie Lon's.  I felt somethin was gonna go sideways and it started the previous monday.  Every since she's hooked up wit this dude our friendship/relationship has been a steady steady decline to at times now non-existent.  For security reasons i choose to decline the extent of our friendship for concern further memories may get jogged and a need to further report to the authority.  Well unknown to her wifey was already enroute to my job at my request cause I wanted to spend time wit her and my 1.5 kids since she was in the area.  ( I have a son, Marcus Anthony due Dec. 11th)  Again the intuition is goin strong and it told me to have her wait outside till i was up on break and ill spend time wit her outside the workroom and lead her directly back to my seat when break was over.  But i ok'd my carpool friend to go get my wife and kid.  Well guess who intercepted them 1st. 

 

Wifey was over there an extensive amount of time i had frankly got up on break and was about to come back in to work by the time i saw her.  I later asked her what the convo was about she wasnt direct at 1st and this "friend" was declining to tell as well.  Well later wifey came forth wit a generalized version of what she wanted to talk to her about.  she wanted to "apologize for not bein a good friend"  I let it go for the moment. the "friend" asked a lil later if wifey had told me i told her no.  so she comes forth (finally) about what she wanted to talk to her about.  She wanted to tell my wife that she basically carried a friendship wit me that she (now) feels was inappropriate and shouldnt have entertained and that she was sorry  (this is ad-lib'n not verbatim)  Im floored at this point.  I typed her back (yeah interoffice msg again) that she had no idea what she just did.  COMPLETELY f**ked me over yet one more time, this time the one that crossed the line.  You dont run to NOBODYS spouse and seek a confessional.  You just dont do that ish.  That ish is jealous overzealous seek revenge mistress bull ish, not a "friend" wit guilty conscience over nothing.  Ive never play wrestled on the floor with her, never kissed her, never inappropriately touched her, never sought an affair wit her, never spent the night with her, never laid on the same couch wit her,  NOTHING.  A total platonic friendship.  A friend i confided in as a christian and as a friend when my marriage was in shambles, a friend i went to the movies wit, had dinner wit several times to sit and talk (sittin on opposite sides of the table), who i bought products from when she was slangin lotion/beauty product stuff, even hostin a party here at my house in support of slangin her products, supported financially on a mission trip, got in trouble together at work SEVERAL times but never not once SNITCHIN.... a FRIEND.  But whats the gratitude i get?  All this was bad and wrong and shouldve never happened. 

 

I guess now that shes shacked up wit some dude now some dim lightbulb has gone off in her head.  My wife said oh all is forgiven she trusts the situation and its all good. (ad lib'n)  but ladies of the world, what does this mean? You know the deal.  Dude better sleep wit one eye open cause 1st chance i get im gonna beat his (expletive) and if shes crazy enough she'll assault the girl who the "inappropriate relationship" was carried wit.  BUT THERE WAS NO INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP.  Someone please write me back.  Does it ANYWHERE in the Bible say "a man will leave his parents and becomed joined wit his wife and he 2 will become one flesh.... and he will forego having ANY friends of the opposite sex whether their status is single or married"  Can someone reference that scripture for me please???  People act like just because youre married you cant have ANY friends of the opposite sex.  like marriage now suddenly a curse and a burden.  and what do you usually hear? I wouldnt want my husband doin this/that.  Well first of all you insecure woman know that if you a Christian your man is the HEAD of the household and if he has a pair you aint tellin him ISH about what he need to be doin and what not.  My house has ALWAYS been run as a monarchy i rule WITH my queen not OVER her.  But she also respects my positioning as the head.  I TRUST her and she TRUSTS me.  Shes gone out for drinks wit coworker/friends of opposite sex and do i annoy her to death or stakeout outside the bar to make sure she came straight home?? PULL DOWN YOUR SKIRT AND GROW A PAIR!! thats insecurity and if you dont have enough self esteem in yourself and trust in your spouse, girlf, or boyf YOU NEED NOT BE WIT'EM. 

 

I loved that gurl wit my heart as my friend.  and to betray me to my spouse as if somethin inappropriate had been goin on was the ultimate betrayal.  EVEN IF.... EVEN IF i had ever did somethin wrong would that and should that NOT be my responsibilty to tell my own spouse of my error??? does some floosy chickenheads need to be callin up my wife, knockin on my door, and sayin "yeah i was wit him laaaaast night". NO!  And now many of you know now why when you ask where i live ill tell you a "blockage/area" but not an exact and most have NEVER seen where i live.  And its all because of potential things like this and what i told her.  Youve now become a LIABILITY to me and im disassociating completely and severing any ties outside of Christians and business relationship.  To even RISK a potential "new thought" arising that she feels she needs to purchase her conscience of is just too much a liablilty to me and i choose not to wait for it to happen.  And as she will be leaving for a year for a Christian function it is my intentions to assure as best to my abilities that no further contact will be initiated btwn the two voluntarily by me.  This is my divorce decree, it was fun but im severin ties wit anyone or anything who dares threaten the foundation of the dynasty we built

 

Well here we are again, for yet another wonderful installment in a life full of gifts and curses.  In all things be thankful cause the good will overshadow the bad.

 

A friend of ours (my wife and I) invited us to come to her church and watch her do a solo a couple sundays ago.  Well Ive already had bad blood wit their instiution due to a previous run in with their "ushers" (bouncers more like...security) involving my PDA (interrogated me as to whether it takes pics etc when i took it out. apparently they wanna protect their "copyrights" what kinda house of the Lord has "copyrights??") Well we decided to go anyway to be supportive.  We get there at 1100am just in time for the service to start.  Immediately Im already turned off as the speakers are ridiculously loud (as a comparison try goin to a concert in a confined area... Ie- i went to the Chris Brown/Neyo concert wit a friend at the paramount.  Was on ground level wit the rest of the teeny boppers w/raging hormones and the screaming with the speakers was just stupid ridiculous that 4hrs later when i was home my ears was still ringing.) well i compare their audio noise the equivalent of that music concert.  Anywho they do their thing to include giving the pastor a standing ovation (humble is out the window at this point thats for sure).  Come offering time thats like the hugest get'up ive ever experienced but to each their own. He (the pastor) asked all to stand.  Well ive had enough of the get'up gimmicks i felt and my wife (7 months prego) was still seated so i sat with her.  Im praying to my Lord and Savior that he understand why i harbor the feelings i have in my heart about this instiution and why i was not about to put jack in the pot to finance this place and the pastors seemingly lavish lifestyle. 

 

As im praying i feel.... a STERN tap on my shoulder.  I ignore it as im still in the middle of a conversation wit God.  Again another stern tap. now im pissed i excuse myself from my conversation wit God enraged that someone would be so disrespectful as to interrupt one's prayer.  My 4yo daughter even knows better than that!  I make eye contact wit the offender who tells me: "GET UP". Im like what?? He again says: "GET UP".  Not a please would you stand,  could you please stand for the prayer but an ORDER to stand up.  I mustve blacked out for 1/2 a second.  During that time maybe thats when people have their alleged "premeditation". people get stabbed, postal workers flip out, people get stomped the "heck" out.  I came to and all i saw was red. Anger at the nerve os this hinchman...cuse me usher to interrupt someones prayer???? was it cause it looks bad on their cameras perhaps in this already majority EMPTY sanctuary?  As you come in you are LED to a seat as far up as possible you have NO say on your seat. they'll later comeback and MAKE you move down in your seat next to another person just so they can squeeze more people up front.  Yeah im convinced its a camera ploy gotta LOOK like youre a packed house.  I lean to my wife and tell her what this ignorant man just said.  We stand for the last 1.5minutes of his LENGTHY prayer about offerings.  After he's done, we grab out ish and BOUNCE.

 

As were gettin out the main door i feel like we're bein followed.  Finally i hear a "excuse me, is there a problem?"  Mutha...  YOU JUST INTERRUPTED MY PRAYER AND YOU DONT THINK WE GOT BEEF NOW??? I start lettin in on'em tryin to not act my race but remain in my Christian stance.  I tell'em how disrespectful he was to interrupt someone and TELL them to stand, not even ask.  He didnt know me nor nothin about my family to make a judgement call that we need to stand for their cameras (opinion inserted)  He trys a ploy of "well I feel it was showing disrespect to the pastor to not stand when he asked you to.." I interrupted'em cause he already messed up wit me.  I told'em your pastor is a nobody. a meer man like me and you all my honor praise and respect goes to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ PERIOD.  he wanted to keep on i just told'em to have a good day and walked away.  This institution is a prosperity church i can smell it oozin out its pores.  I wrote the institution a letter a couple days later and got a reply back yesterday.  What it say? basically tryin to justify their actions and sayin the dude was talked to (yeah right probably just pat on the back on a "job well done") then the last page was a bounch of banter about their pastors credentials and hypin him up! Im like are you serious??? who asked for this ish??? now they go from hinchman to hypemen! A bunch of Flavor Flav  hypemen clowns.  Just pray for them ya'll. Pray
