Change is something ever human will experience if God had blessed you enough to live that long. As today when I watch President Elect Barack Obama, I was brought to tears and after I heard his speech I said to me son," That's a bad man and you can be anything you want to be. History was made today, in many ways, a black President, a black man singing the national anthem and people from all races coming together to revel in this moment. Thoughts are racing through my mind, because I know that so… Continue

As children our parents would tell us what was good for us and what was bad for us. They would say things like eat your vegetables, drink your seven glasses of water, study and finish school. It was their job to prepare us for the outside world and give us the proper training needed to survive in the outside world. They made sure we ate three times a day,made sure we did our homework, made sure we got our proper amount of sleep, church on Sundays and taught us other valuable things about life.… Continue

This journal, I write with an heavy heart,because one of the members said to me that she did not feel clean enough to be in the house of God. She said that she used to be a member of the church, until she came home one day and found he husband in bed with another woman and she felt un-clean because of her experience. Well the only thing I could say when I read her note was wow! She felt un-clean? Its wasn't her that sinned, it was her husband. So I had to get a better understanding of why she… Continue

In a world apart from God, most of us live our life to please others and live our life according to other people expectations. We all want to please our mothers, fathers, children and friends. We often seek their advice and their counsel when we make choices concerning our life. Even when we make mistakes , we first ask them , before asking God on how to fix our problems. Its a wonder why God gets so angry with us,because he knows that he is the answer to all our prayers and troubles. I often… Continue

There is a song that Kirk Franklin sings that have really touched me, because it reflects some of the things I have been going through as an adult. All of the joy, pain, suffering, wasted time, hurt, heart breaks, disappointments, tears ,lies and abandonment. All these things I have experience not from people of the world, but from people I have loved and people that I will always love. Its a wonder that God has protected me through all these things and kept me sane. When you been hurt so much,… Continue

Well if you are a true believer of God then you would know that nothing in life happens by chance. Everything we do and everything… Continue

We all have dreams, desires, hopes and plans for the future. But they all can be wreaked and put a side,especially when you have a mate that doubts your ability. Obama, could have never made it to the White House with out the support of his wife. If she had once doubted that he could , his vision and his dream probably would not have come true. That why in everybody's corner they need a strong man or a strong woman believing they can. So if your man or woman has a desire to make something out… Continue

With so much, anger, depression. stress and suffering ,that is when most of us have been guilty of saying some very harsh words. Words spoken out of anger can leave a lasting impression, that could hurt feelings, cause mental stress; break up friendships, relationships and marriages. These words we speak when feeling all these emotions are not very thought out and are said when we are not thinking correctly or with a sound mind. After the damage has been done and we realize what we have done,… Continue

Today, we live in a world where everyone is in it for themselves and no one cares about anyone as long as they are alright. People feel that they do not need anyone for anything and can make it alone. Some people think that they can get high places, succeed in life, progress and be perfectly happy by themselves. These people also have fooled themselves at thinking everything that they have accomplished in life, they did by themselves with no help. Their are others who have had bad relationships… Continue

Now its 2009 and it seems like every year it is getting worse and worse. People are getting divorced, separated, loosing their jobs and homes. A lot of people wonder is this a blessing or a curse. Well if God has his hand in it, then it can only be a blessing. Sometimes God removes us from certain situations, when we are too afraid to do it ourselves. That is when fear seems to take over, because we are afraid to loose something we love. We often wonder to ourselves and say; What are we going… Continue

Since the beginning, of time there has always been a battle between the truth and a lie. That's because we all know that Jesus is the truth and the light. The devil, is a liar and the darkness.

What do I mean by this? Well everyday, is a challenge and everyday, there are things that will test us as christians to… Continue

You know ,one of the things that puzzle me the most is that most people would like to be told a lie than the truth or most people enjoy bad new instead of good news. Some people seem to enjoy pain, drama and love being around negative people. I have had one of my Tagged friends tell me , "Charles I need your prayers, because the enemy is telling me that no one wants me and no will love me'. Another has said to me that there are no good men out there, they are either in jail, married or gay.… Continue
