    I'm new here. If anything like other gatherings I've attended, there's a lot of eyes going around and no one saying anything. Maybe the people are tired of the feds infiltrating? LOL. It's ok. I can laugh because I was locked up for over 10 years and considered a violent criminal. I protected my family and told the truth. So, of course I'd be punished in America! LOL. 
    I'm a Choctaw from the Nation of Oklahoma. I graduated from Haskell Indian Nations University in 2019.
    Recently, I approached the Imam of our mosque here in Topeka, communicating that I wanted to give back, do more, and be around the brothers. He literally told me to go online. LOL.
    Should probably spend more time searching around and reading, but just like anything else with life, I'd do better when I'm guided lol. 
    I started with an online tutor to work on my tajweed recently. I'm trying to make more time in my life to get back to studying the religion as I once did. If money wasn't an object, I'd rather spend my time raising my family, worshipping God, studying the deen, and helping others. Doesn't everyone??? LOL
    The age of materialism is beginning to eclipse. What is important will become more valuable than ever before.
    I'm grateful just for the opportunity to be alive, make the prayer, and recite the Qur'an. 
    A time is coming when those who travel light will be blessed!

    Stop procrastinating. If it is simple to do, do it now. If it is complicated, make a list of steps and do it little by little, crossing off each step when you finish.

    Since studies have shown that "breaks" lead to higher productivity, greater job satisfaction, a more balanced emotional health, and a stronger desire to go above and beyond.

    Take care!!
