  • A Word to the Prophets

    I don’t usually listen to the radio because my mind is so full of rhymes and songs that I just rap or sing to myself.  It’s real cool to feel the words going from my heart to my mouth without my mind getting in the way. 99.99% of the time I don’t even write down…

  • What Would Pedro Do?

    On the steering wheel of my truck there is a cover with the letters WWJD on it.  As most of you know, that stands for “What Would Jesus Do?”.  For a long time you could find all sorts of  new WWJD merchandise everywhere.  Maybe it was because some people thought the world was about to end and…

  • There Are Two Ways To Burn Your Candle

    There are two ways to burn a candle. Americans are strange.  Despite our relative prosperity, we are one of the most emotionally depressed cultures on the planet.  It’s been said that one of the main causes for our mental state is that we try to cram more activities into a 24 hour day than what…

  • Being “Normal” Versus Being Natural

    All my life I have struggled with being “normal”.  No, you wouldn’t find me with my Fruit o’ the Looms on my head singing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or anything like that.  I just rarely did what I was expected to do.  Expectations indicate having some preconceived notion of how events should unfold in some future…

  • How To Glow In the Dark

    It’s creeping on 6AM on Sunday morning.  I was hoping that I’d still be sleep until at least 8:30 AM or whenever Calista gets up because I haven’t had much sleep in the past few days.  But nature and a flip in my stomach has me up.  I need to write.  This morning I need…

  • Facing My DEMONs

    Ever since becoming vocal about my ministry I’ve been coming face to face with my prior acts of denial.  Some people may call it the skeletons coming out of the closet or facing your demons.  I chose to use the term facing my demons specifically because it allowed me to come up with this nifty…

  • Evil Is Laziness

    In writing this post, I am making the assumption that most of you who visit this blog have made the choice to deliberately investigate your life and are open to going as deep as possible to know yourself.  I will also assume that you believe that it is possible to know yourself as your Creator knows you much the…

  • You Are Not Your Thoughts

    I’m fat.  I’m skinny.  I’m pretty.  I’m ugly.  I’m in style. I’m out of style.  No one is looking at me.  Everyone is looking at me.  I’m special.  I’m just like everyone else. I’m popular.  I’m unpopular. And the list goes on and on. In fact, it’s been said that the average human brain processes…
