“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…

7 Reasons Why You Should Never Time Travel
Well, for any of you who have read this blog in the past, you know that I haven’t written anything new in several months. I have made attempts, but was unable to complete any because I was too busy time traveling. Now I know you might be thinking this is no excuse. I mean after all, if I have 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 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. …

The Only True Poverty There Is
“A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.” — Rosalynn Carter Until sitting down to write about leadership, I thought I knew what leadership was. But upon reflection, I see that I really don’t. I have made several…

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…
