There is a difference between Vodou & Hoodoo

 

by C.Henry Adams

There is a distinct difference between vodou & Hoodoo. 

Vodou is a religion.   HOODOO is Not to be confused with Voodoo. 

Researching the area of East Point, Georgia to which I moved has become eventful. I did not realize that I would find myself talking about a sticky situation. So, here we go to the best of my ability.

Voduo vs. Hoodoo.

This discussion regards Enslaved African people who carried their traditions and beliefs to America. I am a descendant of the African People that practice Hoodoo. I am also a descendant of the Cherokee People as well.

Growing up in the Southern Region of the United States of America, I observed the Christian Belief combined with African beliefs from the West portion of Africa where Hoodoo was practice.

Hoodoo is a complex set of spiritual observances, traditions, and beliefs mixed with the Native American Culture, yet , the Christian Religion is our belief.

An Evening Walk In East Point, Georgia

 

by C.Henry Adams

Out of the abundance of safety and for the fundamental good of all people.  I will share a little history and inject some words to help us all learn a valuable lesson.  Recently, in the last two years, I & my companies moved to East Point, Georgia.

It was a decision well thought out and prayed over many times.  Perhaps, moving from Douglas County, Georgia  to Dekalb County, Georgia  and now Fulton County, Georgia while encountering lots of trials and tribulations along the journey was not without success.

I can not or would not say that I was financially successful.

But, I would say that I have been truly blessed.






Thus, the lesson I have  learned today in this one word,   ' Esteeming '.


It means basically, earn another's respect  and worry less about one liking you.

I can hear someone say, " Say What!? "

This is the story that I gathered from researching Rear Admiral Raphael Semmes of the CSA (Confederate States of America).

Perhaps, as a man of African American and Native American descent, I do not think that I would like him during the years of 1862 through 1864,  if  I was alive, but one would have gain my respect.



Why in the World, would I say that?   Capture Management

From a business standpoint, he learned to disrupt a Northern Shipping System to the United States of America from 1862 to 1864.

It is said, that Capture Management is a strategic process that prepares organizations to win opportunities by aligning teams, analyzing competition, and developing a win strategy before an RFP (Request for Proposal) is even issued.

In essence, I can hear my father say, " Think out your planning before you leap! "

Another person who suggested this capability is my  Mentor,

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Dannie James, Sr. (US Army) of JE Group, LLC

How is an Algorithm related to Algebra, Trigonometry or Calculus?

 

by C.Henry Adams

I asked this question in my mind,  then took to looking up an answer. 

Why? 

Well, being an inquisitive soul , always asking, I learn to not assume or in other words, make an ass of myself guessing the answer.

To be short, concise and to the point.

Scratch, Trigonometry or Calculus to further simply this discussion.

An Algorithm is related to algebra, but plainly so - a number. It is said to fundamentally belong to computer science of discrete mathematics.

They say something to do with the study of mathematical structures that are countable.

Let us say all the people in the picture shown were individually called a number or Algorithm.

However, each of these Algorithm (s) behave in unique ways.

Scary huh? But, a real reality none the less.

Day Trip To Montgomery Outdoor Museum

 

by C. Henry ADAms

Riding down I-85 South or Interstate 85 South from Atlanta, Georgia during the Summer of 2026 is a great way to experience what one might call a " Road Trip ".

Still others who are not aware where this particular road may lead them; get ready to pass Newnan, Georgia then LaGrange, Georgia while crossing over the Chattahoochee River into the State of Alabama from Georgia.

Now be warned, if someone start singing an ole Alabama Country Music Song, join the Chorus.








The first city that you will encounter on I 85 in Alabama is the City of Opelika.

Not very far away from that place, is the City of Auburn, Alabama.


You could get off onto route 81 to goto Tuskegee University.

By the way, at this point, you are now in the Tuskegee National Forest.

Many people like to stop along the way to fuel up their vehicles.

Nevertheless, entering Montgomery County to visit the City of Montgomery is not confusing.

Montgomery is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States of America.

I think the visit was well worth it.

by C. Henry ADAms

I can honestly say that I have never slept under any type of bridge structure to protect myself from the weather, if it rain, sleet, snow or should ash fall from the eruption of a volcano.

But, there are many people here in  the Atlanta Metro Area of Georgia who actually can say, "Yes, I have slept under a  bridge structure because there was no other place that I could go..."

Big Bethel AME Church and the The Buckhead / Cascade City (Ga) Chapter of the Links, Incorporation came together to provide meals for the Homeless.






Nevertheless, I had the honor & opportunity to meet Lisa Rayam at the Big Bethel AME Church Pantry.

On the 2nd Tuesday of each Month starting in 2026, a non-profit organization called Links with the help of Lisa Rayam and Big Bethel AME Church with Lisa Johnson Whigham will pass out food to those people in need from the Food Pantry of the Church.

250 year Celebration with American Legion Post 264

by C. Henry ADAms

I had the distinct pleasure to sat down, fellowship, and eat lunch with Veterans of the United States 
Military located in Mableton, Georgia on Thursday, July 9th 2026 at The American Legion Post 264.

As I walked in the facility, I observed a woman jumping up and down as if she was crazy.

I said to myself, “ What the hell...” and then I start giggling. This person obviously let her mental guard down playing a card game.

I later overheard a conversation that she was an expecting mother.

Nevertheless, in my mind, I could hear my late father say, “Girl, you better stop all of that and go sat yourself down somewhere.”

<

I later found out that she was a Veteran.

She was excited and having a great time playing the game of UNO.

As we all mostly sat and waited for lunch, groups of people hugged and welcome their colleagues while others start playing cards, such as SPADES.

Yet, even other people, male & female gathered together in conversation. I myself sat surprised.

Theses Veterans experienced life to the fullest in a moment of peace and humor.

East Point Georgia Fireworks 4th of July 2026

 

by C. Henry ADAms

I must admit, as a Veteran of United States Marine Corps, I was actually impressed by the City of East Point, Georgia fireworks display.  To avoid flash backs of memories past throughout my entire life before becoming a United States Marine, during the tour and after my tour of duty. 

I walked away from the fireworks display while it continued into the night. 

Mentally, Morally and Spiritually this was something I had to learn to do and overcome.  There are many people and I mean many people who can not walk away from an experience that will transform them throughout their lives.

As a child growing up not far from Six Flags over Georgia on the west side of Atlanta, Georgia, I enjoyed the fireworks display in the summer days.

As a Marine throwing grenades, I quickly understood how the smell of gun powder, hot burning metal, and the deaf causing sound of an explosion was a way different magnitude.

Death is real and apart of life.  But, in my opinion, it is better to experience life until you die.  I believe this with my whole heart.

Once I got back to my place of residence, I look out the window to remind myself to continue placing distance between (PTSD) Post-traumatic stress disorder .

Now, I see why I have change for the better.
