My husband loves Anita Baker
He had her tapes when I met him
We always cuddled to "body and soul" when we were newly married. I used to wonder how many women he also cudlled to that song with before the Lord set me free from that thought

Lateesha,
Try and get Anita Baker’s current Album(2007) “My Everything” and Listen to track 10 “Men In my Life”…… believe me “Body and Soul" will disappear forever…… It’s Anita singing about her husband & her Children. (Awaiting your feedback & sorry can’t find it on youtube)

we must have the same taste in music.
I'll look for that.
meanwhile the lyrics to " body and soul"
That song did me many things,no be small. What have you done to me
I can't eat, I cannot sleep
And I'm not the same anymore, oh no, no
I don't know what to do
All of me wants all of you
Do I stand alone at the shore?
Now once I could turn away
From everything I feel today
But, now I want to walk through your door
[Chorus:]
But I've got to know - oh
Body and soul
That you've got no doubt, inside and out
We are whole - oh
Body and soul
Don't leave me out in the cold
Just love body and soul
Do you hear me baby
I've wasted too much time
Livin' for what wasn't mine
Then came the day I found you
And now I want nothing less
I've found a love that's truly blessed
I wanna make dreams come true
[Chorus:]
But I've got to know - oh
Body and soul
That you've got no doubt, inside and out
We are whole - oh
Body and soul
Don't leave me out in the cold
Just love me body and soul
[Bridge]
Every day is getting better
The more I trust I feel stronger, stronger
Every kiss brings me closer
It feels good to let you inside.

This probably sounds a bit sissy, but, the one thing that brings me true joy is seeing my kids (a no talk say i be goat o!), and when they shout "Daddy" and run to me when i return home it practically makes my heart burst (which still hapens & is wierd considering it happens practically everyday), and i do not consider myself an emotional person (infact i have been accused of having ataraxy by a lot of the women i have known )
For the rest of it:
- sex brings me a lot of joy (the whole process not just the act)
- a good pint
- good company
- driving very fast (am a couple of points from getting banned at present)
- a good crap (with a cigarette)/a good fart
- good music (generally oldies + Fela of course)
- solving a problem no one else could
- generally being left alone (which is practically impossible now with those 2 children, and they have also sent the crapping + ciga pleasure out the window as i cannot smoke at home - so i have to make the most of visiting friends who smoke at home)
Thank you
Christopher

What brings me joy are as follows:
1. Doing the will of my Father-In-Heaven by loving my neighbours as I love myself.
2. Following the example and footstep of my Lord Jesus Christ.
3. Praying to the Alimighty Father in Jesus name.
4. Praising the Lord.
5. Worshiping the Lord.
6. Working tirelessly in His vineyard by doing what He wants me to do for His own glory.
7. Raising and nourturing my children both physically and spiritually.
8. Taking care of my wife wants and needs both physically and spiritually.
9. Taking care of the less priviledge (needies, widows and orphan).
10. Seeing God's children fulfilling the heartbeat of God when they get married.
11. Studying the word of God (Bible) and interceding in prayer for people known/unknown to me and
the world leaders.
12. The greatest one that always blows me away with greatest joy mixed with tears in my eyes is "When the Children of God answer the altar call to give their lives to Jesus".
"There is absolutely no one like my Father-In-Heaven, to Him be all glory, power and might".
