I went to sleep last night and woke up this morning with tears in my eyes; not just for Troy Davis, but because my heart is so heavy for all humans that have suffered and continue to suffer and be affected by our injust judicial system here in America. This story goes to show that there indeed still is racism in America, because why else would the Georgia parole/pardon board go through with the execution knowing there's so much reasonable doubt? I'm not an attorney, nor do I work in the judicial system, but I know what's right and unjust. Situations like Troy's case is what really has me more concerned for all Black men in general, because more often than not, they're being railroaded in the system. Yes, I care about Black women being railroaded as well, but they're not railroaded as much as the men. I remember when the movie " American Violet " hit the movie theaters, and I guess some cities were concerned that a riot would break out, because unfortun...

We are fastly approaching a new year, and I am definitely ready for New Beginnings. I declare that 2012 is my year for Change! It's going to be a year full of great changes! You know, sometimes we have to speak into our own lives..."speak those things that be not as though they were". So, as I embark upon my season of New Beginnings, I will be utilizing the power my tongue (speaking life), of visualization, and creativity. On another note... My first magazine appearance was posted in the August issue of Epitome Gospel Magazine. I shared my testimony in hopes of it inspiring others and reaching whomever needs freedom from bondage and condemnation. For more information on the magazine or where to purchase your copy of the August issue, go to their website: http://www.epitomemagazine.org/ I must admit that I was rather excited when I saw the 2-page posting of my testimony. Excited because the testimony is what inspired me to write my first novel Blinded , and it is w...

I took a stroll down "memory lane" today. I went to see the documentary on the Old School Hip-Hop group, A Tribe Called Quest. It was amazing! Micahel Rapaport did a wonderful job with this. I always wondered whatever happened to this group, as well as many other artists from the 80's and 90's. A Tribe Called Quest wasn't just a National group. They were INTERNATIONAL, well known all over the world. They paved the way for many artists today. If it were not for Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Jarobi, and Ali, then there'd be no Kanye West, Common, Ludacris, Roots, etc... Just like Run DMC, Whodini, Grand Master Flash, Sugar Hill Gang, and all of them paved the way for A Tribe Called Quest, they paved the way for today's artists. Unfortunately, Hip-Hop has taken a whole different direction from its original form. Original Hip-Hop was all about bringing awareness and social consciousness to the community. It was about love, unity, and dancing. Now, it's more about mat...

Today's message was right on time! Bishop T.D. Jakes preached "Keep Moving, Shake it Off, and Stay Focused!" This message is right on time with the adjustments I'm making in my life, which includes: stop caring so much, stop putting others before myself, stop wasting energy on unnecessary things or people. Bishop also mentioned the fact that some of us have so much to give, but are the receivers ready to receive or handle it. I myself have so much to give, so now I'm making adjustments as to who and when I give it. Here are some valuable notes I jotted down from the message today: Wisdom doesn't boast about being wise. Wisdom doesn't have to prove anything. How you react to things determines if you are a pretender or truly wise. Situations we go "through" only bring us "to" our diving purpose. You MUST have a sense of purpose or Mission! I have flaws, but HE sent me! I'm not perfect, but HE created me! The Spirit of Disagreement is ...

Although I would love to "Say it ain't so", but unfortunately it is so. First the NFL, now the NBA. What is going on? In the words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" I say that in the sense that the players and the leagues need to get along. They need to come to an agreement. I'm really not a huge fan of the NFL, because I can't tolerate such brutal and dangerous moves on the field. I know it's a contact sport, but I still can't bare to watch someone's child, husband, or father endure such pain, injuries, and God forbid paralysis! I cringe just looking at two players colliding. Now Basketball, I can watch that anytime. The jumpshots, 3-pointers, slams, rebounds, turnovers, etc... I'm usually all in the game yelling and screaming: "Stay on him!" or I'll throw my hands up when a player from one of my favorite teams fails to pass the ball to another teammate whose clearly wide open to make the shot! Just in c...

Well I'm still here. Does that mean I wasn't truly saved? Was I "Left Behind"? Wow! I cannot believe how so many people are so easily influenced or led astray; but then again... I CAN believe it; because I do believe that we are living in the last days. I know these words have been said for many years. However, true Christians or true believers know that it's too easy for the end to just happen when someone "prophesies" it. True believers know the Word for themselves, and don't need a leader to tell them when Christ shall return, thus putting an end to this physical world. True believers know that "He comes like a thief in the night. No man knows the hour or the day of Christ's return". Although the world has not ended on Saturday, May 21, 2011, I do believe that this stirring up , if you will, is still part of End Time prophesy. I believe this to be so, because it's in the Word. The Bible speaks of the Gospel being preached all acr...
