Life is Good . . .

. . . Now That I Finally Decided to GO Live!


I never imagined that the path to following your dreams would be littered with so much beauty. Of course the road gets ragged with with its fair share of speed bumps, winding roads, and caution signals which you may also know as fear, cash flow, and time. The truth is, those stop signs existed before and they will always be there. You see, when I

you afraid of being GREAT

If you are afraid of being GREAT, then I'm talking specifically to you.

"That's because, you afraid of being GREAT!"I've heard my cousin say it a thousand times and not just to me. He says it to everybody. I can overhear him say it to someone else and I cringe as though he's directing it to me personally. It's not the phrase that makes me oh, so, uncomfortable. I think it's a classic line. So

I Am Not Afraid

     I remember when I was afraid of everything. I was afraid of riding a bike. I was afraid of water (I still am). I was afraid of the monkey bars, I never learned to twirl under and over like my friends. I was afraid of dogs, cats, snakes, spiders, like I said—everything. Including my own voice. 

Do you want to know something strange? I have never, ever been afraid of people. There were some

You Are 99.99% NOT THE FATHER

Well, Father's Day is rolling around. The shelves are stocked at Wal-Mart with the best sentiments that Hallmark has to offer. You know those very special greetings for those who care to send the very best to their wonderful father.

Many poems have been written to explain,How a mother's love can soothe the pain.But little has been said about a Father's concern,So...now...I think it must be his

Faith For Dinner

This is my testament, a letter—to faith.
New endeavours are a true test of faith. It can be a wonderful joy to finally hold in your hand the one thing you desired for years. Sometimes, having that thing pushes you to the brink of spiritual chaos. After the labor, after the fanfare, you wonder, was it really worth it? Is it worth risking everything for?

Why I Wrote THE TRUTH AS I SEE IT: IN POETRY & PROSE

On December 6, 2008, I put my pen in my hand and God forced me to be still long enough to get all the thoughts swirling in my heart, out on paper. Still, long enough so that for the very first time in my life I would see my dream, my purpose in life come to completion (Phil 1:6). Completion, not as in that's it, I am done, because I will do it again. This is the just the beginning for me. I will

The Winner Is.. (actually it doesn't matter)

So as the day changes and the seasons slip lazily over me, so do my priorities. Someone recently told me they felt like I seemed very disgusted by a situation in which I initially felt very passionate about. He thought I'd given up because I detached myself from it. Yes, initially I felt strongly about the situation; however it seemed to be a situation I didn't think I could win, or more
