Day 1- 11/2/2011 The Beginning

Well hello out there whoever may be reading this right now. I am pretty sure the title of my blog has peaked your curiosity and I hope to keep you interested. My name is Calvin Davis Jr. and I was born and raised in the east new york section of brooklyn. My journey thru life has led me here and I would like to share some of my experiences with you. My aim in doing this is to provoke your thoughts and allow your mind to be challenged by unconventional thinking. So where do we begin? I was born on march 23rd 1970..I was my fathers first child and my mothers second. My mother and father were engaged to be married but he was in the military and ultimately he got married to another woman. My mother already had a child, my brother Andre and she could not afford to keep us both so she put me in foster care. At the age of 5 my maternal grandparents came and got me out of the system. My Grandfather is a preacher and living in his household we had to abide by his rules which were given to him in the bible. As children we couldn't go outside and play, always had to do chores and work, no t.v. or radio except for christian stations etc. Life as a 5 yr old child was tough living under the Drewry system...The Holiness Way...I remember him always saying if you disobey God you going to hell. That was my first impression I had of God and it was scary! Fear God so your days will be long...I was petrified of this God who wanted to send me to hell if I disobeyed him...so I tried from then on to be the perfect boy. There were times when my mother would drop me off at her sisters house to babysit me..I tried to be the perfect little boy but my aunt would always whip me and beat me on my back with a switch...I was terrified to go back over there knowing I would have to endure the beatings but no matter how good I tried to be the beatings got worse. Looking back I see a innocent young child in fear for his life and b/c the abuse made him feel like he was bad he also thought that God was gonna send him to hell. So that was my first impression of God that had stayed with me all my life until 2001. We will end here for the day and I hope to see you next time! Thanks for reading.....
