THE MISFITS

THE MISFITS

I recall an old Movie called “The Misfits” starring Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Eli Wallache, and Montgomery Cliff. Now many people under the age of 45 might not know some of those famous actors. But, truly they were the Misfit’s in Hollywood land w/the exception of Eli he played a Mexican back during those days. Montgomery Cliff, Marilyn Monroe, and Clark Gable died shortly after making that movie Clark Gable died right after it wrapped.

 I need your attention. The reason I publish blogs is give you another perspective - plant a seed or inspire, (not to educate, but advocate) to broaden your perspective as viewed through another lens.

 These humans who endured much humiliation during a brief period of life when GOD is prepping for His service in training. 

Isn't it a mystery how He’ll take a wretch like Apostle Paul strip away all the material things and vain glory that accompanies false pride.We are tempted in our flesh with our limited sight we see our wants as needs accumulating an abundance of material wealth, status quo acceptance,  power, and for some celebrity or fame. Until finally one day when GOD gets ready to show Himself to you things begin to change beyond your control.

Paul told the same story the same way (he was a murderer of Christians followers of Jesus), he wrote most of the New Testament. GOD used Him to save the gentiles just had this one testimony he repeated each time...

"I was on the road to Damascus, all of sudden I heard a voice calling my name Saul, why does thou persecute me a bright light blinded me, and I fell of my beast" 

For every level there's a new Devil. All of sudden before you know it once again GOD has raised you up from the ashes to prove to the World...

to those who live in doubt, pain, and confusion the Gospels were to provide a blueprint-proof a living testimony which helps us all to understand that we all must submit and be willing to come "Under GODs Authority"  

 *Misfits exist as living proof a Witness of how GOD will use ordinary people to bring about extrodinary things in His WORLD, create a movement inorder to bringh forth HIS Purpose to Glorify Him he said...

ALL were called to serve a higher purpose by GOD than they had planned for themselves.  None of them with the exception of Jesus of Nazareth began life's journey knowing how life would end.

Let's imagine if you took a trip "Back To the Future, we time traveled back to AD landed in the village where Jesus grew up ancient Israel and told them that Jesus of Nazareth is still larger than life in the 21st century some 2000+ years.  They would be laughing out loud while they hung you on a cross!

Point is, these are clear examples of historical figures some who were Leaders among Men. Publicy ridiculed for their STAND would lose their lives;but ironically, while they lived above ground were judged by the public ridiculed and scorned. 

Misfits spend a degree of their time living around disgruntled societies people who hated them wishing death upon them, lived with daily threats from lowest to highest officials followed them, monitoring, and taping private conversations or having intimate sex just to belittle their character's defamation or a frame for illicit behavior to discourage people from believing  in them or respecting their positions GOD assigned to them... I could dive into this more but this is just a blog not a novel.

Sometimes we don’t realize what our purpose is during our life span.  Most individuals value or worth isn't appreciated fully by others until after they've past away out of this world.  Then we grieve but all realize what a blessing it was to know them or benefit from their contributions some that have influenced future development of this world bringing people in unity with music, songs, and influence that changed lives opening doors that were once closed to certain people.  

"Next!"

 Martin Luther King, Jr., would not believe his statue is triangulated in Granite as a Monument between Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials' in the Nations Capital. Malcolm X would be overwhelmed by the many “people” no mater creeds, colors that revere and listen to his speeches which are still popular around the entire world because its a universal message for all races and cultures to adopt the philosophy concerning being treated like a human being, on this earth with self dignity and equality. 

Other celebrities who died tragically like Michael Jackson, Prince, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley,  Billie Holiday, and Sammy Davis Jr.,  are all considered to be "Misfits " they didn’t quite fit into society’s idea of how to behave.  Who to love and  always stepped way outside the box I mean colored way outside the lines. 

 Ignited so much love and passion in people they're now idolized in death their name or branding quadrupled.  These great entertainers established a brand that still makes people around the world react just listening or even watching a hologram  perform. Globally loved not just by America but actually loved more around the world.  What they all share in common are tabloid scandals, drugs, institutions, and tragic death.  Misfits die under humiliating circumstances too many to mention because they gave so much of themselves and GOD plucked them out of the world to rest.  Job well done they shall seek a final reward and that's "Eternal life." my Soul.... 

So while GOD is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent God IS watching all of us as impossible or  awkward that might seem to you.

My words of expression come from my point of view only. Through my life lens for whatever purpose I bring to this earth is not for my own vain glory but to Edify, Glorify and acknowledge GOD. 

 Spirituality is felt inspired, and freely given in measure to each human being. 

The words spilling on the pages are a result of GOD's Spirit that lives inside of me, suddenly as I’m being inspired to compose these words, the background music in my head hears Will Downing so sweetly singing a ballad  called “No Love Intended” just wanted people that will take the time to read this rambling blog to understand  my heart is sincere.

Misfits are the sort of people who leave a mark on society not always getting recognized for the gifts they bring.  I believe GOD is always present no HE hasn’t left the building yet. 

 I don’t seem to fit in anybodies cliques, on social media when I began to engage online sharing my opinions, objections using social media networking it was revealed to not be afraid to confront some dire issues facing our World, 

 "My Race...."

  "The Human Race"

As a Woman specially designed by GOD… thrills me that what makes me whole.Validated is a wholesome kind of joy.

Unexplainable but knowing just that; seeds were planted inside of me GOD used many extrodinary people teaching me many, many hard lessons throughout my journey, day by day..lots of tears, fears, threats, experienced living homelessness, longsuffering, and along the way GOD protected me with many unexpected results. I'm still here, walking, living out my purpose. I learned how to forgive, let go, and love people inspite of myself.

I count it all JOY living single. I've come to understand having “that special Man” in my daily life GOD designed just for me, who'd cover me, prays with me the way GOD speaks of in His plan. 

I've had my share, trust and believe it wasn't the men who I encountered that failed me it was my inability to let go and allow GOD to bless me.  

He never meant for a Woman to work hard outside of her home she managed  her home her only assignment was always as Nurturer to the family. Building up the foundation making it possible for the family to thrive together, encouraging her Help Mate til death do us part.  

As Queen of her domain she's adored, cherished, and honored by her King (husband) for Life Partner, her Companion he protects with his life. She is trustworthy. Proverbs 31:11 says that “The heart of her husband trusts in her.” Someone so precious, a nurturer his wife! 

No one violated her honor showed her children were raised to exhibit much respect. Now it's called once upon a time "Fairy tales,"  I wanted that life and to become her raise my children at home have dinner on the table sit and pray and make love at night!  

God had other plans.

"To much is given, much is Required."

Instead of breaking down I always look up beyond the clouds and can smile through any circumstances just knowing “GOD's got this,” all I have to do each day is just show up study, pray , seek to be healthy and have a willingness to grow.  Do the homework with footwork.

  Allow Him to mold me into the person he wants me to become, that’s not an easy task, having such a rebellious spirit throughout my entire life. GOD has taught me how to be content in whatever state I’m in and have patience. 

Trusting GOD's timing has taught me to stay in my lane and know what he has provided for  my sister'her portion, and what he blesses me with is mine.  I learned not to covet have envy of other women - men based upon appearances.  We all have our own Cross to Bare.... Burdens we carry debts we have to pay. Outward appearances based on material things 99.999 percent of the time we're wrong about their plight in life.

I use to be intimidated early walk being a christian stained by my past I felt the decent church ladies might not understand or accept me or my past then  I discovered they had one too. Since that was revealed to me I've never been ashamed of who or what I am ever again. GOD gave me Purpose in life unique as my fingerprints.

That was life changing for me because once I submitted, GOD began to reveal more to me then once I released all of those selfish ways or be on borrowed time.

Why I blog the way I do it's simple, one day,  when I get older and fade away these pages will still exist here in cyberspace.  My children and grandchildren whom I"ve met and for the ones I might not ever meet will hopefully get a glimpse of my character or it'll be here to let somebody hurting just seeking an answer to a question~ know you are not alone or GOD made you unique going through changes in life is part of HIS plan to prepare you for duty to carryout His purpose for you while you exist in this World.  

There is always a tomorrow coming  from  another “Misfit’s point of view. Once you've completed your purpose serving GOD. He promotes us into Eternity to rest. Those we leave behind, our loved ones, friends, and acquaintences will have felt our mark on the world being remembered with love in  "Eternal Life."

 Feel good about yourself we all are still a work in progress with human frailties that’s why I know I'm not ready for prime time yet, still flawed with defects of charactrer I do use profanity  not just when I'm angry, often in jest too thats no not a slip it's my tongue. I'm still learning tact to control that too. Free Will!!!! is a Blessing and a Curse.

God sees through all our carnality because He's not carnal; Humans are!  We all have a purpose in life to fulfil that's what I was taught whatever you have a passion to do, perform that thing without dread or complaint. That's usually it!  (Thanks Bishop Jakes your ministry taught me how to live that.....)

Often times for most of us it comes without any thanks, or public reward.  In life you think you may deserve so much, but most successes are priceless. Let GOD use you in alright not to be in the public eye - spotlight... Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong if have wealth because most Misfits enjoy life in the fast lane. They have access money, have openended credit some enjoy massive wealth during their whole life.  

Often imitated but never duplicated...They’ll never be another Martin, Malcom,  Medgar, JFK, RFK, Ghandi, Elvis Presley, Billie Holiday, Sammy Davis Jr, Prince, or Michael Jackson but you got alot of folks trying to inspired to emulate them.

Misfits are the people that you’ll never see duplicated no matter how many halograms others often imitator's may try!

Heaven Help Us

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”   Galatians 2:20

Isaiah's Message
Isaiah Chapter 1 : 16¹ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

² Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.⁴ Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.⁵ Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.⁶ From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.⁷ Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.⁸ And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.⁹ Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.¹⁰ Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.¹¹ To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.¹² When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?¹³ Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.¹⁴ Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.¹⁵ And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.¹⁶ Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;¹⁸ Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.¹⁷ Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.¹⁹ If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:²⁰ But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.²¹ How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

Based upon the above text the Children of Israel were in alot of trouble, I always like that there is nothing new under the sun.  But to go a little deeper, "if nothing changes, Nothing Changes.  

Fast forward we are now living in 21st century dealing with zenith speed in technology and have evolved that if you were to read the above text you'd think the author Isaiah was describing this century.  I enjoy reviewing and posting archives of older posts from Empowering Spirits but lately its been a tug at my heart torn to deliver a word that's really not mine.  I'm not claiming vision or even that GOD whispered in my ear.  Can't even describe what this is exactly so I'll just give GOD the great IAM all the Glory take nothing for myself.

The politics, the people, the music, the movies and television seem to reflect a whole different world from the one I grew up in and alot of us "Boomers" I'm a late boomer born in the 60's are catching our breath just to keep up which brings me to my current condition my profession is now as contractor and previously a civil service government employee I've tried to reinvent myself as times changed so I've always been sort of nosey and tech savvy.  Always wanted to rise above my peers on my level not yours. See my journey has brought me closer due to circumstances all beyond my control to my inner spiritual being and connected me directly to the source.  I'm not a minister not really interested in that field but I am interested in what the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth has planted inside of me, a vision to interpret and see the world as it relates to that Book.

So I really was wrestling with this blog because I'm just gonna type and let it all flow, then when I read it for edit and my editing skills are very mediocre cause I'm not a journalist either I majored in Sociolgy with an eye on pre-med when I found out the math was involved and cadavers changed my whole life went in a direction opposite of that didn't finish college and had scholarships but I was very sharp in my thinking and Richard Nixon did more for our black community with the CETA programs backed by federal dollars gave alot of us a leg up even our community leaders who sponsored these summer/winter jobs programs for youth in the inner cities you could get a work permit at 14 and have enough summer pay to buy clothes and shoes for fall or you save it pay your parents cause my mother always made me give her something.  Contribute to the family.  We've lost that in our homes and here in our Nation.

America is great we have evolved over time but not atoned for there is so much harm that has been swept up under the Constitutional rug.  I just feel so compelled can't knock this nation either because I love my country and know no other, yet my curiosty caused me to do some research and what I discovered about myself, my family, and then overall community was from the time our ancestors got to this continent up til now, we never left most of us don't even know who we really are.  It struck me because alot of urban blacks can't afford the best of anything we have HMO's not private doctors once upon a time we did but not in the 21st century they use to come to your home and if your parents didn't have all the money it was okay RIP Dr. Robinson, and you trusted him he trusted you the family paid the bill.  But unless you were bleeding or couldn't breath like me I had ashthma you had the home remedies.  Things have changed but nothing changed let me dig deeper so you don't think I'm rambling.  If you compare our plight as a race with other immigrants who were invited to come and how well they weren't received America always made you work hard for your dreams but if you had some advantages it was somewhat easier vs. slaves who didn't migrate but were brought here from the distance in ships stacked upon one another it struck me that I can't smell my own underarms when I'm musty what must've been their experience yet 200+years later their children, children, children, children don't even know who they are.  

When you don't know who you are you tend to identify or adapt to the environment take on the languages accents and ways of the natives funny things I found out that Africans were coming here years before Columbus trading with the Native Americans and had settled here with them Cherokee tribe South and West Indians are proof of that.  Yet the slaves struggled to pioneer without any assistance from their masters after they were freed they opened up the boarder and allowed Europeans more access which disallowed the freemasons who were skilled and black from being hired and they couldn't earn a decent wage so it was easier to be a servant and get paid if you got paid.  Cause you have to understand they existed many, many years in the 18th and 19th Century without any human rights.  I am one of those children, and I don't know who I am what tribe and tongue colors that represent my family or Africans have family Crest and tribal dynasties yet I can't relate to any of that.  One of my friends who was from Liberia laughed at one day because I was wearing a afrocentric sweater it was beautiful she said "what tribe does those colors belong too", I said huh? She laughed out loud and said you black americans really don't know nothing about who you are then she told me those colors belong to a tribe in Africa she thought I knew.  In other words, she was testing me.

Now we read above about the Children of Israel well through time man has grossly lied about the true Children of Israel Hebrews but it's okay cause we still all related at the end of the day but I noticed that the darker children on this earth have always suffered at the hand of some regime or government do your research like I did if you feel something about this blog.  Because this is basically how I'm gonna pause cause it's always more to come, in 1938 Adolf Hitler who was a monster and beast killed alot of Jewish people the Holocaust was horriffic no words to describe it was unhuman to say the least and I believe each culture has suffered and GOD who loves us all seen all of that and put favor on America to as King David with a small but mighty we stood up against that monster and won but to atone for all they had suffered UN was established and settlement was built to repatriat them to Israel which is they're homeland except it's not, not really but they are converted and loyal to their faith as were the Children of Israel who were forced out Temple was destroyed all that's left now in 21st century is the waling wall where the Rabi's pray.  But accommodations were made alot of them from Germany had already come over to the "New World" and did movies and films, scientist, authors, philosophers like Dr. Freud.  We owe alot of the great things about our country to their creativity and vision of America but to save time I'll just make my point.  African Americans who were grossly mistreated and maybe not in the methods Adolf Hitler used but to be stripped of your heritage, your native tongue, not be allowed to read and write, eating scrapes pig feet chitterlings, neckbones and watching the master take liberties with a mans wife or even the master wife wanted the stud it happened did you see Roots and that was just one mans story.  12 years a slave was one mans story well it was millions of us here during 18 and 19th centuries who don't know who we are so our last names became whoever owned us.  Think about that and when jewish people came they changed their names so anglos wouldn't discriminate against them they happened to be one cut above us in regard to position in life here in America, they were disrespected and hated too but they had one option a right to duel citizenship and to go to Israel if they wanted Black people don't know where to go they never ever offered to get the Continent of Africa to even designate a piece of land for African Americans you have to spend thousands of dollars just to find out what tribe you belong too and even then it's inconclusive.  So all that being said why is it that we've ALL RACES become resentful and entitled?  Why 

- Corinthians 13:4-7

This is a description of Agape Love. It is described as being patient, kind, truthful, unselfish, trusting, believing, hopeful, and enduring. It is not jealous, boastful, arrogant, rude, selfish, or angry. True love never fails. The description perfectly fits God's love toward us, and should be the way we love each other and God. However, I have never met any person who perfectly fulfills this biblical definition of love. The Bible says that this unconditional love is more important than everything else (a partial list includes oratory ability, prophecy, knowledge, faith, philanthropy and hope). All of these things, which are "good" things, will pass away. Only love is eternal, since love will be the basis of eternal life. In fact, when Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment was, He said, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND." (Matthew 22:37)10 He then added that the second most important law was "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." Jesus said that the entire law was dependent upon these two commandments

To be continued I love you all, #SHOWSOMELOVE

The most famous biblical chapter on love is from 1 Corinthians:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:1-13)

A QUOTE

Bishop T.D. Jakes '8 Second Prayer'

When you reach the end of your rope...

You will find the hem of his garment..

I'm not breaking this one

I would rather live my life as if there is a God,

then to die and find out there isn't one,

than to have lived my life

as if there isn't,

and die to find out there is...

"A Quote" 

 Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves!!

'Lord, I love you and I need you,
come into my heart, and bless me,
my family, my home, my finances,
and all of my friends,
in Jesus' name. 

Amen.'   

When your down to Nothing GOD is always up to Something!"

TRUST HIM.

Empowering Spirits - Freeing Your Mind: Marvelous

MARVELOUS

  GETTING TO KNOW GOD FOR MYSELF

Faith to believe God's word is the very essence of receiving the promises that He says we can have. As a Christian that Scripture in Romans10:17 “... Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God”, gives us knowledge on how faith comes, by taking in God's word.

CAN MY BISHOP PREACH ME  INTO HEAVEN?

I was raised in the 1960's  a community where your parents made you go to church and on the way pick up friends along the way and could walk to church on Sunday morning to attend Sunday School at 9AM until young folks church started. In 1968 I joined a baptist church while my parents were still members (AME) African.Methodist Episcopal

Well, needless to say we'd  go to the corner store called "Spic n Span," and spend our plate money .25 cents or less on junk on Grant St then walk up the hill slow to church one Sunday morning we found an envelope packed full with dollars.. woops testi-fying now! 

Anyway, I bet you think we took it right up to Pastor Stroman and confessed we told him what we found, he stood us up in front of everyone and said what a great deed we did not only bringing what belong to the Heavenly Father into the storehouse but not stealing which is a sin before our GOD. Nope didn't happen.

Well, we went back to Spic n Span and I ain't gonna indite anybody else; BUT GOD did witness that event. We did go into Sunday School skipping that day. I sang in the choir and can sing too, got baptized at 8 years old without coaxing. Then on another ocassion I went along with family friends to see and hear Gospel singer the late Gloria Spencer ( the original fat lady that could sing), for you old timers and when I received the holy ghost for the first time at about 12; to be honest my life has never been the same or easy.. I ran away from my call similar to the guy who got swallowed by in the belly of a whale!!!! Except it was the world that swallowed me whole.

It's Marvelous because GOD has been covering me like stink on u know what ever since..He was just waiting for me "to come to myself" and to this day I often fall short of His Glory.

 I've never forgot that bad decision not to take that money back to Church. LORD knows where it would have led me instead somedays I feel like a few of my other hardheaded brothers and sisters who are biblically described. We often miss the whole point Sin is Sin if you break 1 commandment you've broken all 10 commandments. There is no big or little sin it will all land you in the same hell prepared for those of us who think we've gotten away.....

 I'm not ordained but maybe I shoulda been, then I use to sing had strong chops too so maybe I shoulda been a great singer, or since I was raised with edicate, well educated not in private schools but I did attend and graduated from one of the best Public schools that DC had to offer.   At the time and my mother was well liked within the community so I had a good start and could launch just about anything.... but like I use to say to my children "when we are growing up, (and we are always growing up even as adults), picture life like a fence which has a broad steel pole fence that your walking down. It's a long walk to get to the other end so you must balance yourself evenly because; IF you straddle the fence too long you might fall off, depending on what side of the fence you fall down on you need a strong foundation to get back up on the fence to walk it out to the end. But If you fall down on the wrong side w/o that foundation you may end up in a pit not hell. The pits" as we call it or "Rock Bottom"

That's how simple I broke it down at the dinner table one evening for my two then adolescent children, but it wasn't that simple for me because I did straddle the fence and fell down. 

Donnie McClurkin's ministry the Pastor & Psalmist preclaims "We Fall Down but we get up" that's GOD's divinity and agape what we can't phathom unless you study the history and prove yourself in HIS sight. See I grew up in the church went to church all the time can shout and sing. I do speak in tongues don't care how you recieve that because I serve a Mighty GOD...
I'm not running for office nor do I represent any ministry. I do support Bishop TD Jakes and him only at this time is who I seek my guidance and teaching from. Not promoting him just saying whats working for me now. My bottom line is no matter how much my Bishop is ordained and blessed to deliver the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ whom I believe in, that's not going to get me delivered. Jesus paved the way for me and you to come directly to the source we need. 

Finally as a suggestion and it works for me, but your experience could be different just as a disclaimer, our relationship with GOD is unique as our fingerprints.

Read and study whatever religion you serve hopefully it's GOD because times are changing people. I admire the men of GOD who preach to us to inspire us to do better financially become self entrapeneurs - so anyway 

My message is to say going to church is always nice on your resume and in the whole community. You have to GET SERIOUS about your faith walk, and  if you are given instructions on Sunday, and don't see your notes again until next Sunday. You ain't up on your game. I want to go deeper right here so I don't give the wrong impression most people join organized religion always seeking higher ground but to where and why?

 Yes, giving a tithe is important all of us should honor that; yes serving your fellowman each day; but do we love one another as He loves us. I realize some people study the bible just to sound good at it.. not saying they aren't sincere but my topic is to ponder about your relationship with GOD it's personal so I really am not gonna say comment about this. It's a personal question sit alone with this one.

Dust off your KJV Bibles, Torrah, Korans and read them because we are all living in a period of time we all act like spoiled children who are all accustomed to having their way who enjoy a loving GOD that does supply and provides for us each and every day.

Serve, Trust and LOVE GOD call on him don't fear or be ashamed to know HIM. See I don't get paid for this - So I better give time to the ONE and only EL Elyon the great I AM who provides all  for me. I just put it out there what you do with it is on you...

Just as a reminder... Housekeeping rules 

GOD SEES YOU AND IS AWARE OF EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.

Simply Marvelous...

EJI's New Lynching Report Documents an Era of Racial Terrorism | Equal Justice Initiative

Knowledge is Power

EJI's New Lynching Report Documents an Era of Racial Terrorism | Equal Justice Initiative  Disclaimer: I am not permitted to reprint the articcle but visit the EJI site for more information and current reports.

In December 2014 I posted an essay in support of #BLACKLIVESMATTER....... to protest the blatant denial in America how little value has been considered for the lives of Black Americans and the affects of the trauma, how it's evolved into bad policing.

This is the original Document as posted by EJI.

If you really want to understand the History and scars which attributes to the black condition in America here's a great article. 

  It speaks to our history as Americans and the experience of both races and what was considered "socially acceptable" way of bringing justice from white race point of view, but it was terror and meant death to the black race utterly powerless in most cases this essay goes indepth to recall factual information and illustrations documenting this inhumane but legal practices here in our Nation.  Maybe this won't change hearts and minds but at least you can't say you didn't know how awful life could be for people of color.  

  To this date no person in power in these United States has ever apologized and offered assistance to the decendants of these people, many "African Americans" who I refer to as Black Americans have been taught to accept and live with many of the generational maladjustments suffered by many families even mine who struggled to identify in a society that loved to "HATE" them and saw them as less than a human being.  We've come a short distance but until we have real dialog such as this piece (just click on the title to the link above in red)  for a frank and open conversation "just the facts" without embelishment, I hold a hope for real brotherhood and healing before the end of the 21st Century.  

  My grandson is Black, Hispanic, Native American, and White.  I guess he's really an "ALL AMERICAN!!" 

That being said I refuse to be afraid anymore
 for him or my Black son whose mere existance to some in our country can be a reason to die......  It's time to heal scars are real.

So check out your mind read the article and you decide..

Show some empathy & be humble lets try that for a start.
