I am requesting that anyone reading this blog who doesn’t  believe there is a God, Allah, Buddha, Jehovah or any other religious being, please indulge me as I remark on “waiting on God.” Many of us, humans, can reflect on certain situations where if we had obtained the opportunities we were seeking, our victories would have been short-lived.
