A Buck Fifty... A Pimple and a Plan.

A Buck Fifty… A Pimple and a Plan.

Definition: a Buck Fifty. A large cut or scar across the face, usually caused by a blade or razor, which needs (or needed) 150 stitches (hence "a buck fifty). For those not up on their hood vernacular…

Scratch, bust or aggravate a pimple PREMATURELY before it’s time and you may cause some skin-deep (DERMIS) scarring that you may regret.  The scar may fade over time but until it does, its prominence seems to be domineering and it consumes your life.

What-da-ya-do when you get something ineradicable or indelible such as “a Buck Fifty” on your face and God says that you must live with it; live with something that isn't pleasant to view by others or oneself?

Well… we have to keep living when life is ugly, shameful and full of the scars of life, no matter if they are protuberant or not; life goes on – In God.

Look at the Singer/Artist Seal; he rode that face right into the heart of Heidi Klum… A Supermodel.

Who doesn't know Michael K. Williams the actor better known as “Omar Little” from the Wire, best known for his menacing real-life buck fifty, smack-dab in the middle of his face.  He was one character you definitely didn't want to dream about chasing you down some dark alley at night… Lord wake me up right now in the name of Jesus… LOL

We laugh when we wake up and find out that it was all a dream, but what do you do when you wake-up and you’re your life is one continual nightmare? One movie trailer after another…

Don’t allow the scars of our past to keep us from the way, the truth and the life of our future.

Trust God to be your healer and your concealer (Girls with any makeup acumen understands this well…)

As with all scars, time fades them away and what we once thought that we can’t live with, we find that it gets easier and eventually, it works as all things do, for our good.
