  • Know That You Are Loved

    It takes nothing more than a little faith and a willingness to accept that the we are all a part of Love’s Mystery. We don’t need to understand it to receive it. God Loved us into Being. This means that we are not only objects of Love, our fundamental nature is a project of Love.…

  • A Thief and a Liar (Shine)

    Is there anything in your life that you would give absolutely everything to?  Can you even imagine such a thing?  There used to be a time when I felt like I could absolutely give myself to whatever I set my heart to.  My heart was disciplined to Love and my belief was that I had…

  • “I” Does Not Exist

    Recently, I have had more than one person express to me that they were uncertain of their own existence.  There is a 40 year age gap between the youngest and the oldest person, so I can only assume that this idea is something that more people  are contemplating .  Since being asked the question, I…

  • Road Trip With God, DMX, and 23 Bottles of Water – Full Circle

    There’s no way I can completely explain to someone who is “uninitiated”, the things that were ministered to me for the next 19 hours because as it says in 1 Corinthians 2, “ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” …

  • Road Trip with God, DMX, and 23 Bottles of Water, Part 3

    Do you remember that part in The Matrix where Neo had to choose between the red pill or the blue pill?  Well that was where I was in that hotel in the middle of nowhere–both figuratively and actually.  I had to make a choice on whether I wanted to sleep or stay awake.  While driving…

  • Road Trip with God, DMX, and 23 Bottles of Water, Part 2

    There have been plenty of times when I heard people say that God talks to them.  Spending so many days in church growing up, I saw plenty of people “get happy” or “catch the Holy Ghost”.  I’ve been to every service a church could have–even down to choir rehearsal.  I’ve been to quiet services where…

  • Road Trip with God, DMX, and 23 Bottles of Water, Part 1

    It’s been over 11 years since I walked into the Wherehouse and sold almost all of my rap CDs.  Looking like a crackhead–no offense–I went in there all shaky asking, “How much can I get for these?”  I’m sure the cashier thought I stole them.  Why else would a young black man come into a store and…

  • Sometimes Words Aren’t Enough

    Ever since we returned from Hawaii, I have been trying to put our experience into the perfect words for this blog.  After struggling for weeks, I finally surrendered to the fact that I can’t and embraced that I’ll just have to do the best that I can.  Words are funny things.  They can be used…

  • Under Pressure

    Last week I saw this headline on Yahoo! that these brothers from the UK have done a remix of Ice Ice Baby and Under Pressure.  I’m in one of my distraction modes, so I click on it.  Out comes these twins with these high top hairdos with back up dancer’s straight out of the 90’s. …

  • They Can’t Make Us

    You have to admit, the great thing about The Roofless Church is that I get to go through these over thought rants of reflection so you don’t have to.  My mind pretty much doesn’t shut off.  If I’m not using it, it’s running on auto-pilot scanning the created and uncreated Universe looking for signs of Truth…
