Stubbornness will cause you to ignore what is right because the words of warning were spoken by someone you may have thought less of not realizing that God your higher power will use the unlikely thing including speaking through a mule to help you stay the course to get you to your expected end..."pride goes before destruction and a haughty look before a fall". Proverbs 16:18

Love knowing that there is no higher purpose in our existence. If and when you are finding it most difficult to do the very thing we are called to do then perhaps it’s time to STUDY oneself a little more. When the LOVE of God resides within we will find that whatever manifest in our life comes forth from the issues we’ve allowed to live and take residence in our heart. Exam yourself daily and if hatred, jealousy, domination, intimidation, manipulation, envy, greed, narcissism are characteristics that seem to govern your interpersonal relationships or interactions with those you see daily, then it’s time to evict the existing tenants of your heart out and do some spring cleaning that your living breathing house may become a home. May the peace of God abide where Holy Spirit is welcome to dwell within. Yes, you will be tried at every hand as you strive to make the word LOVE into one of action. Know that it is only when love is in motion that people will know who we are by the life we live. Titles, positions look good on a resume and masterfully crafted cathedrals are great to view or visit however it’s all futile, meaning absolutely nothing except when we strive to serve all people in love with character and integrity.

Marriage is sacred an agreement entered in by two and yet when difficulties arise family and friends are sometimes to quick to ascribe or assign a verdict of guilty and or dismiss the notion that their loved one could actually act in a manner that is so far from what they have ever known. Dear sir or ma'am: you are absolutely correct because it wasn't your loved one as you know them making love between the sheets, it was the one who publically promised to love until death, their husband or their wife which is the role he/she now occupies. Please remember that it is not your brother, sister, mother, father, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, cousin that is laying in between those layers of deceit. It is that individual's spouse regardless of gender and while you may be able to predict their behaviors as your kinsman based on your familiarity in the manner you have known them in relation to you. However, you can not and will never know the intricacies of someone else's marital affairs as ADAM once knew EVE. Please becareful to reserve your right to judge and don't become quick to confront with a half truth which may have been spoken through ill willed motives because we all feel sorry for the victim. Be friend enough to remain impartial unless the relationship is one filled with observable domestic violence while being mindful that some of the most unimmaginable scars are the ones imprinted in places that can not be seen with the naked eye. Encourage them both to seek help collectively as well as individually. Allow the chips to fall where they may because if God through Jesus can resurrect a man called Lazarus who was 4 days stinken dead then YOUR HIGHER POWER is GOD enough to resusitate a marriage supported only by life support. Love in it's best form is to do NO HARM especially if you don't know what's needed to be of help.

Life is too short in this physical body, however, with the breath that is given CHOOSE TO MAKE THE HYPHEN COUNT, (ie life-death)! 33 years is when scriptures credit the beginning of Jesus "Christ or The Anointed One's" earthly ministry and 36 is when he becomes dead, buried and ressurected. Guess what we're still talking about him. Length of time is not of the variable that determines the legacy we leave behind. It's what you do in the meantime that will cause others to say your name long after you are gone. "When I was hungry you fed me, when I was naked you clothed me, when I was thirsty you gave me drink". It's because you took the time to pause and render what could have never been deposited by another that your deeds and kindness will forever be remembered. We're all a piece of this puzzle of life and it doesn't matter how others may resemble you or the gifts you embody, please know YOU matter and life as we know it wouldn't have been the same WITHOUT YOU! Thank you for your presence and not giving up whenever midnight came calling... there's plenty more work to do.

Sometimes rock bottom means realizing that the one who needs the oxygen mask when the plane's about to crash is YOU! Be selfish that you may be used to be selfless for another when it really matters.

Please know you are ENOUGH. It's your perception of self that matters and in the words of Whoopi on the talk show during the weekday "take a little time and enjoy the view!" You are deserving and are worthy of all things that are good.

You are more than enough...unapologetically YOU! You owe no man or woman nothing but AGAPE love (unconditional love).

The twin of hate is love and yet only one has the power to resurrect the dead. The other is as rotteness to the bone.

Never put your hand on an individual except to extend a hand to lift them up...(modified message due to the impact of under reported physical abuse on every population and culture). This quote will forever be etched in my heart as a firm belief that we should all strive to live. It was endorsed by the Delta Sorority on a billboard sign located at Interstate Highway 20 and I 285 intercepted from Georgia to Alabama 2002. Physical abuse awareness was the emphasis and as it grabbed my heart I'm sure it caught the attention of prayerfully thousands if not millions of others. May this message resonate with all as we seek to build our homes, neighborhoods, communities, cities, states, nations and the world we get to serve in.
