Whitney Houston dead at 48

My heart is heavy. One of my favorite singers, Whitney Houston, has died at the age of 48. Again, my heart is heavy. I was truly rooting for her comeback. But her voice on her last album fell short. 



Given that, I still wanted her to climb her way back to the top where she rightfully belonged. This song Million Dollar Bill let her fans know that she still had it going on.



With this post I just want to say that Whitney, I loved you and your instrument. Yours was truly a gift from God and your rendition of The Star Spangled Banner set the standard.


Most of all Ms. Houston, please know that we will always Love YOU!!!!


I could post more along the religious aspect and how we take the talents God give to us and use and/or abuse them, but I won't. I just want to revel in the moment and remember the Whitney Houston that I admired on the covers of the Teen Magazines. I saved my dimes and nickles to purchase it because she was a model appearing within the pages. Can you imagine seeing someone who looks like you getting top billing as a model. It was a proud Black American moment for me.

I know that Whitney was a Christian and believed in the Lord. But it is in our deepest and darkest hour that we forget to call on his precious and holy name to have mercy on us.


Rest in peace, Whitney.
Until Then.
