A filmmaker and public speaker, Reggie Bullock is a vibrant voice and accomplished role model for the youth of today. On March 15, 2009, Reggie’s short film "A War For Your Soul" was independently released on the internet, and has catapulted as a “stirring, epic and inspirational” video for today’s generation”. Over 2.5 million internet viewers have watched “A War For Your Soul” in nine months. The video has garnered praise from mayors, city leaders, youth and civic organizations from Ghana, Israel, the Caribbean, U.K. and other countries for sparking dialogue in encouraging adults to play a more active role in educating children.<br />
<br />
On Oct. 14th, Popular radio host Michael Baisden said "This is a must see film".<br />
<br />
Reggie is currently active as a noted speaker, conducting speaking engagements throughout the country. For speaking engagements contact warforyoursoul.com or reggie.bullock@comcast.net<br />
<br />
This video was created to inspire young at-risk African-Americans not to fall prey to some of the problems they face in society. The "Master of Darkness" represents that abstract concept of evil that has the potential to reside in the consciousness of mankind.<br />
<br />
The use of the images of Richard Pryor and NAS, were used to show how we have publicly displayed the "N" word over the course of time. Richard Pryor, before his death, had gone on record to publicly denounce his use of the word, and the Rapper NAS ( one of the few socially conscious rappers ) intentions of wearing the jacket had nothing to do with the glorification of the word. I have enjoyed some of Pryor's masterful story telling and I have also enjoyed some of the thought provoking music from NAS.<br />
<br />
This video should not to be used to divide people (Black & White).<br />
This video should not be used to criticize all aspects of hip-hop culture.<br />
This video should not be used to allow the rest of society to escape from their responsibility, to help with financial & academic support.<br />
<br />
If used properly, this video will allow our youth to see some of the horrific conditions that their ancestors fought through and some of the horrific conditions they face today.<br />
<br />
An extensive commentary about the film can be seen at warforyoursoul.com<br />
<br />
**THIS VIDEO IS NOT FOR SALE & I AM NOT ACCEPTING DONATIONS FOR THE FILM, I ONLY WANT THE MESSAGE TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ANY HIDDEN POLITICAL OR FINANCIAL AGENDA.<br />

In this selection author Dorothy Hopper examines a woman's responsibilities in constrast to fulfillment of personal pleasure, asking herself the question, "what does life require of me?"<br />
<br />
What a furtive hope is pleasure. for life does not deal with us so tenderly as to cater to our personal desires. Life deals us a set of cards, and then says, "Here, see what you can do with them." To take an unbalanced or mediocre hand and play it brilliantly- this is what makes the game existing. Even when choice seems nonexistent, life can be an act of declaration rather than the course of least resistance. One asks oneself over the morning dishes and in the dead of night, "What shall I do with my life?" If the answer is primary a self-centered one, it is sure to be limiting and eventuallly unsatisfying.<br />
<br />
If a woman matures as she ages, a time comes when she will put aside the wish, "Oh, what I long to be," and ask herself, "What would give me gretest pleasure," and demands of herself, "What is my responsibility?"<br />
When she has decided what her responsibility shall be, she has also determined her goals, her purposes in life and her daily philosophy. It is importand to think of responsibility in the broadest possible terms: family, world, community and self. It is helpful to think through one's philosophy in a fairly specific way. I have set forth my own thoughts in this way: " My purpose in life is to make it possible for every living person (myself included) to develop his or her own potentialities in the greatest measure, and to live creatively according to his or her own possibilities." I work to achieve this in my personal familly relationships, through my husband's work, through comunity service and in support of organizations and political candidates dedicated to this purpose on a national and international level.<br />
<br />
<br />
in our own words:<br />
<br />
We see here that our mission as woman and leaders do not differ, from generation to generation we have evolved from the home, to the workplace and now in the pulpit.<br />
I wish to be a vehicle of light for there is a big need for direction in society as we are flooded with negative images of women and in overall you can see the effect that a divided home has had on our youth of today! yes, it is time to take a stand and be the people that we where place here on earth to be. I once again thank my Lord for giving me a voice, for giving me a direction in my life as I grow and explore my options, I come up with one conclusion we are all in this together, for better or for worse we are women and we have power to implement change under any circumstance, with God's Hand in our lives, How can we fail?<br />
<br />
GIVE GLORY TO OUR FATHER, WHICH IS HEAVEN FOR HE HAS GIVEN US WISDOM TO GO THROUGH LIFE STRUGGLES AND STILL COME OUT VICTORIOUS IN JESUS HOLY NAME. AMEN<br />
<br />
GOD BLESS AND KEEP,<br />

The reward of being a virtuous woman.<br />
<br />
First, be impressed with the fact that God's woman is a woman of real power. Which is more far reaching: to work primarily at a secular career and promote a company in providing some often whimsical product or contributing to the very foundation of society and mankind itself, the family? Herein is power! Too often great women go unnoticed and without praise. Not so with the godly woman of our text. We read, "Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her…

<br />
First, be impressed with the fact that God's woman is a woman of real power. Which is more far reaching: to work primarily at a secular career and promote a company in providing some often whimsical product or contributing to the very foundation of society and mankind itself, the family? Herein is power! Too often great women go unnoticed and without praise. Not so with the godly woman of our text. We read, "Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also and he praiseth her" and "Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates" (vs. 28; 31). Appreciate the fact that the wife has personal recognition, "let her own works praise her in the gates." What a statement, especially when viewed in the Jewish setting in which it is made!<br />
<br />
Beloved, above and beyond all praise, recognition, and joy of this earth, heaven is the ultimate reward for God's people (Matt. 5: 12). We need more women today who are seeking to emulate the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31 and not Hollywood's version of the successful woman. God's woman is of real substance and lasting quality and will offer important contributions to herself, family, and society as a whole. May their tribe increase.

Women decide the larger questions of life correctly and quickly, not because they are lucky guessers, not because they are divinely inspired, not because they practice a magic inherited from savagery, but simply and solely because they have sense. They see at a glance what most men could not see with searchlights and telescopes; they are at grisps with the essentials of a problem before men have finished debating its mere externals. they are the supreme realists of the race. Apparently illogical, they are the possessors of a rare and subtle super- logic. Apparently whimsical, they hang to the truth with a tenacity which carries them through every phase of its incessant, jelly-like shifting of form.<br />
<br />
TELL ME WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THIS INSPIRING PIECE OF WRITTING?<br />
I like the way he describe how we as woman are spiritual beings he describes our ability to see the outcome in a situation through intuation, I believe this is a God given ability; as we mature into adults we realize almost with denial why our mothers knew all what we was doing or about to do. I know that its not so much a mother thing, but a WOMANHOOD TRAIT. I enjoy doing it to my son now! because with experience comes knowledge and understanding. The bible speaks of woman as a precious possesion and well you tell me are we something to be overlooked? no, for women have been put in many different tests and when out homes where falling apart due to division in our home, we picked up the pieces and wen't into colleges and the workforce to provide for our children, my mother did it and your mother or grandmother....I will leave time for you to think of how this essay has changed or supported your take and please feel free to tell us the roles in the church, how been uprooted from the church seats to higher greater positions within the body.<br />

IN THE BOOK THE CREATIVE WOMAN, Dorothy Goldberg wife of former United States Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, suggests reserving "a little energy for the other life within us"<br />
<br />
The doings of the day become our roots, and mothers are all trees of many roots standing by the ever-rushing water of time. Some are glad; some are sorry. The important thing is to save some energy-even a little-because all the doings do not have to get done at once. There is no botulism brewing in the extra moment or two it takes to return something to the refrigerator.<br />
What I am saying is that, as we rush about we must reserve a little energy for that other life within us, that urge to make, to do, to try to create.<br />
<br />
If we have one child, then our inner life becomes our second child. if we already have two children, then the life within us must be our third child. Even four, five, six. Even if there are six children to be helped toward their own launchings, the inner life must be her seventh child. if that inner life is built around art, then that is the child, and it must be given all the attention, concern and money we would somehow find it were a child in the flesh. What we would spend for the gynecologist, the obstetrician and the education of a real child, those are the costs due that mythica chil, the inner interest and inner life that are your own.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
HOME/ MOTHER AND FATHER<br />
<br />
"The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wifcked, but his blessing is on the home of the upright.~Proverbs 3:33<br />
<br />
"Listen, my child, to what your father teaches you. Don't neglect your mother's teachings. What you learn from them will crown you with grace and clothe you with honor." ~Proverbs 1:8-9<br />
<br />
'Sensible children bring joy to their father; foolish children despise their mother." ~Proverbs 15:20<br />
<br />
'Listen to your father, who gave you life, and don't despise your mother's experience when she is old."~Proverbs 23:22<br />
<br />
"If you curse your father and mother, the lamp of your life will be snuffed out."~Proverbs 20:20<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*How do you think you have suppressed your own inner child?<br />
<br />
In my own life I have discovered that the things that I now enjoy doing as an adult is the same as when I was a child. I was always drawing and writting poems when I was 7 yrs old. Then as the worries of life took over my life, I lost that creative side of me, I now think of the numerous opportunity that I missed out on. I did take art in middle school, but in High School it wasn't popular to be an artist, well at least that is what I believed.<br />
Now that I hAve returned to Jesus my first Love, I can recall all my creative abilities and put them to work for him. I no longer wonder what should I draw or create?, because he gives me the eyes to see my work done before I even began!<br />
I give thanks and Glory to God, for reminding us of how precious our inner self is, and who is to say, he is our inner child, he will makes us remember that we are his children, HE GIVES US GIFTS AND IDEAS He should be our reason for doing all, if one day I forgot who I was, I know that he is who will remind me of where I was and where I now am....and oh yes where I am going, for He is the ALPHA &OMEGA!!!!<br />
<br />
RECALLING:<br />
<br />
Creativity and innovation can enhance your life on many levels including at home and on the job. Applied creativity can help you solve difficult problems, find opportunities and dream up fresh ideas.<br />
<br />
*Tell me how this essay has helped or not helped you, Think of something that you desired as a child that now as an adult you have cultivated into a massive project.<br />
<br />
*Are you creative or do you need direction?
