"A Flame of Burna's"

Dear Big Brother Royal Dog Lance,

I know that his letter may come as a surprise to you, but you’ve been on my mind a lot lately brother. Lately I’ve been reflecting back on my life, (the people, places, experiences), and what they meant. “What was I supposed to learn from it?”. Now, walking into this new transition of my life, I keep praying for guidance. I’m more of a visual learner; I need to see it. And often through thoughs prayers, your name always got thrown into the mix of answers. “Lance Sanders”. I couldn’t figure out why. But having kept up with your social media feeds, and taking a quick once over, I NOW know why.

I can only speak on the time since we’ve met. The club Nightlife & Spice Street parties lol. Cooling at the lake house. Attempting to hoop at UNC…”The Rebounder”.😂. I also remember the night I was working the door at a party and LOST IT! When we got back to your crib after, you told me to never let my emotions get the best of me. Or the random time you hit me up during your “process”. You were going through a life phase. But never did you quit. Never. And that my brother is why I was placed in your audience.

I see what you’re doing now. To see where it all began, before LG Burna. The building of a brand. Everything you’re doing, is the exact thing that I’m chasing. The blueprint. The guide. From the mentoring to the coaching, teaching, community organizing, travel agent lol, #weekatburnas , the community involvement with the youth; “From Promoter to Organizer”....BROTHER, SALUTE!! I just wanted to say thanks for being an inspiration man.

Just had to get that off my chest.

Peace,

“A Flame of the Burna”

A Second Chance

The book of Philemon was actually the book that started "The Biblical Nerd" . It was after hearing one a Bishop T.D. Jakes sermon a few years ago, that sent me on my "Quest for Biblical Knowledge" . It's also one of the shortest books in the bible in fact, with just one chapter and 25 verses. (shorter than this post). Written by the Apostle Paul, this short but powerful letter of love and forgiveness, was sent to Philemon in regards to one of his slaves, Onesimus. This happens to be one of my favorite stories in the bible and one I read and think about often. That being said, let's get into it shall we? I'll start off with a little background of the characters, then bring it all together. Mind clear? Body relaxed? Good. Here we go!!: Philemon Leader of the Church of Colossae church met at his house royalty; owned slaves; Onesimus follower of Christ; converted by Paul Onesimus slave of Philemon ran away after committing a crime against P...

God Sent Me an Uber

After being completely and utterly disappointed and frustrated with my current life situation, i decided something had to change. Knowing that I have ran my life into a deep hole of a mess and that I could and SHOULD be doing much better, that’s what I wanted. I wanted to be happy; something I’ve never been before. So I made the call. I got God on the line and told him everything. How forgotten and abandoned I felt, as if he were picking on me. All of my failures, disappointments, the blown / mismanaged opportunities. I opened up and got everything off my chest. The ups, the downs, the would’ve-should’ve-could’ves’....Everything. After going on my little rant and after a brief moment of silence, mixed with some chuckling, I was told that I was being sent a car; an Uber. “Just get in the car and I’ll tell you how to fix it.”  Now once again, i felt like me and my issues were just another crumb on a table full of loaves that was just going to get passed over and wiped away. But ...

Yesterday evening as I was strolling down my Instagram timeline, I ran across a video of 100 Black men, greeting students as they arrived on their first day of school. Dressed in suit and ties, the video was of them clapping and applauding the kids as they exited off of the school bus. After watching it, the idea about doing something similar in my hometown would be a pretty cool idea. So I made a status and posted in on Facebook. Within 20 minutes, I found myself on the organizing end of getting 50 Black Men together to provide the same welcome and encouragement to the students of Person County, as our brothers did in Atlanta. Often, I find myself passing on opportunities due to fear. I struggle with self-doubt; I'm harder on myself than anyone else could ever be. The only thing that I could think about after getting back such a strong, positive response from the community, was how am I going to get 50 men together for this? I prayed on it and went to sleep. When I woke up t...
