New York City Day 15: What a journey

What people won't do for a cheesecake! Smh (shaking my head), before I get into that, I want to talk about church earlier today. Church today was interesting to say the least. Fast talking Pastor Dale Bronner preached today. That man had some words up his sleeves that knocked me off my feet! He was extremely witty! He referenced Pastor Bernard a lot and mentioned how the congregation should be thankful that he's doing his job (and some) as a pastor by being the sensei, guru and expert when it comes to leading the congregation to righoutness. Afterwards, he kind of continued Pastor Bernard's sermon from last week and talked about how you should try something different to get different results. So, stay tuned next week for the completion of Pastor Bernard's series "DESSIGN!"

After church, I finally got in touch with a potential guest for the Tom Joyner Morning show. I was excited about her being on the show, but I think she was a bit more excited. She really works to empower young girls; young minority girls and I appreciate a good story like that because somebody is actually doing something to try to fix a social issue rather than complaining about it. I think this world needs a balance of good news and celebration every now and again rather than what we typically hear. She was a breath of fresh air for me.

After talking with her, me and a few of the girls went out to find Juniors! It took us about an hour to walk around and find this place and it was extremely tiring. I finally told them we needed to head back because the journey was getting ridiculous, but we took about two more steps and somehow stumbled into our location! The one good thing I can say about it is that we at least got a chance to go to Times Square at night, see the awesome sights and get back to the dorm all before our 11 o'clock curfew!
