Serve The Meal

Have you ever had a long day? I mean, one of those “been up for 10 hours on my feet” type of days. When you stop and get food, but it’s still on the counter the morning after because you were too tired to eat it? Yea….you know what I’m talking about. So you rush to the bed. Your sweet king sized, pillow topped, overflowing with pillows, bed. Your comfort zone. Because after a long, hard day, that’s all you really want. Fall down face first, clothes and shoes still intact, you realize you need to get up. Shower or simply changing would suffice. You just need to get….comfortable. You muster up the strength to get up and get in the shower. After pulling a 10 hour shift, you just want to shower, change clothes and get in the bed!! As you’re putting on your bed clothes, you just start to think about the day you’ve had and everything that happened. Then those events may lead to thoughts about everything you have to do tomorrow or make plans for. Next thing you know you find yourself str...

God Is In The Water

Now, this may be a little lengthy, and this only the first part. But if you stick with me until the end, you shall be blessed. Flint, Michigan ., this one is for you. So, having said all of that, let’s get into it shall we?! Float with me on this… Throughout the entire first chapter of Genesis , there is a significant amount of reference and use of water. However, it’s the subtle key emphasis of water that were intriguing to me. Immedia...

Who's Really Reforming Healthcare in America?

After trying to figure out where I was going to go with the follow up to What's Happening To Our Black Men , I checked a few of my social media feeds and I found it. Health Care! Healthcare is a major topic that’s currently going on right now and I thought I’d give my take on it. So with that being said, let’s get into it shall we?!?! My thoughts started me with Moses and the striking of the rock at the Waters of Meribah (Num 20) . Now, quick summary. This passage is most known for the being the cause of Moses not being able to enter into the Promised Land. Within the first month of being in the wilderness, the people got upset with Moses because they had no food or water. They even ask him why would he bring them into the wilderness to die (v.4) .They were almost ready to kill this man! At this point, Moses and his brother Aaron, manage to sneak away from the people. They had to go pray about it lol. God then tells Moses, “Take the staff, and assemble the congregati...
