Breakthrough Fast 2011 – Day 7 “Crown Royal on Ice”

It’s actually Sunday morning (Day 8) that I’m writing this. Last night Jennifer and I went to a birthday celebration of one of our college friends at the W Hotel in downtown Atlanta. Since the First Lady and I don’t have a lot of free time with three kids, I went old school. I got the car washed. I shined my shoes and picked out my best “let’s kick it outfit.” I have to admit, the First Lady looked FINE last night.

DREAM SEQUENCE BEGINS...
As we entered the lounge, we saw old friends and made some new acquaintances. Then I saw her. She was sitting on the bar; elegantly dressed in royal purple. Crown Royal is her name. Being smooth and sexy is her game. She had all her peeps with her. There was Crown Royal Black. There was Crown Royal Special Reserve. There was Cask No.16 and a rare sighting, the lovely and mysterious XR. I tried to avoid eye contact...but her attraction was too strong.

I kept reminding myself, “I’m fasting and praying. Praying and fasting.” Then I called out to the Lord, “Lord, help me and The Breakthrough Family resist temptation. Let us not fall victim to the weaknesses of the flesh.” As I prayed, I felt her pull as she coquettishly called to me, “No longer drink only water, but take a little wine (a little Crown) for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.” (1 Timothy 5:23) Truth be told, my stomach was a little achy and my neck was a little stiff. Like a siren, she convinced the DJ to play her song...

Your light sweet taste on my lips, pull me right back to you
You wink at my, I wink right back to you
You’re so smooth and tasty, I can’t stop thinking of you
You soothe my mind, that purple bag suits you...
Crown Royal on Ice, Crown Royal on Ice
Crown Royal on Ice, Crown Royal on Ice
Crown Royal on Ice, Crown Royal on Ice (My adaption of the Jill Scott Song "Crown Royal On Ice")

DREAM SEQUENCE ENDS...
Jennifer nudges me in the bed. “Charles...Charles...Are you dreaming? Were you having a nightmare?” Half a sleep, I roll over and smile to myself. “No, my love...I was just remembering an old friend.”
