  • F.E.A.R. the Truth

    In this video I do my best to to put into words the frustration that I am experiencing in this moment realizing that I do not have the words to convey the Love I believe is Present for each and every one of us.  When I look at the world today I see people living for the…

  • A Forgiveness Prescription

    “Just forgive it.”  That’s something we try to tell our daughter Calista whenever something upsets her.  We don’t expect that it makes too much sense to her at three years old, but the hope is that if she hears it enough it will start to work its way into her consciousness and eventually she will…

  • Warriors In Unseen Worlds

    Ephesians 6:12-20 — “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers…

  • The Foolishness and Weakness of God

    On my knees in the prayer room at Andover Newton Theological School where I am attending seminary, I admitted to God how weak and poor in spirit I was.  I am praying for the strength of mind, body, and soul so that I will be able to complete the six papers I have due in the…

  • 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 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…

  • 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. …

  • Live Free or Die

    I’m convinced that whenever we ask questions from the depths of our soul, our lives become about trying to find the answers. For some people it might be something simple like “what career will I have when I get older?” Those people will probably work and work until they find what fits them. Then they…

  • Overcoming Gravity

    Every morning that I don’t have to go to work I go through a battle with gravity.  With no alarm and no justification for getting out of the bed, I find myself struggling to get up.  It’s always the same thing. First I wake up and notice that it’s somewhere between 5:30 and 6:30 AM.…
