i truly apologize for the delay between blogs and i'll make no excuses but it leads me into this next blog.i've found that by default,i find myself letting people down on purpose.why would someone do that,you may ask?many of us have found fault in those we've looked up to,had confidence in,or trusted with our deepest and darkest secrets.on numerous occasions we've done so only to find that those individuals had "feet of clay" just like us.after dealing with these disappointments and with some years of this reality under the belt,the pain loses its shock value,doesn't hurt as much,and sometimes...,not at all.but beware!as i've indicated,i have begun to show my own faults and fallibility early on in relationships in a feeble attempt to facilitate the potential "too good a person to be true" attitude which waits in the wings.the attitude that waits to feed the soapbox boasting by the enemy claiming,"i told you so",all to gain power over believer.yes,this concept is extremely pessimistic in nature and is not a win-win situation,i know this.bottom line...,i need as much prayer as you do,child of God but don't let my feet or those of anyone else skew your idea of a model saint.for we are all but sinners saved by grace,covered by the blood of Jesus,wretches undone.be empowered people of God.there is still hope and a very present help for the believer.

Stuff, stuff, and more stuff. Our daily grind coupled with our internal struggles have seemingly culminated into an amalgamation of superfluous living void of tangible results linked to purpose. Are you on track? Can you fruit from your labor. Yes, granted, you are a Child of The Most High God but would He be pleased with your progress if He was asked? Again, are you on track or could you be doing more? A child, loved by our congregation, recently passed and came as a shock to us all. I had to ask myself these questions. I understand the fact that as believers this is not our home. We are aliens to this earth and destined to live in Heaven. As pilgrims on this journey, we build The Kingdom of Heaven here on earth but it almost appears as though we've begun walking around as if we've got forever to do His will while aware here. I take my hat off to my Pastor who is an example of what I'm speaking of. No one I know runs harder for The Lord, leaving no stone unturned and every

Myself and a colleague of mine briefly discussed, love. That undoubtedly sounds incredible silly as love saved of us from eternal damnation. My comment rests solely on the fact that we were only passing each other in the hallway, thus affording us only a brief opportunity for conversation. Her response to a statement I'd made is what really started the whole thing. At some point, I had said that love never fails, which prompted her to immediately come back with, "yes it does". She then went on to justify her response in light of the fact that a professor at an institution of higher learning gave her a failing grade on a paper she'd written, attempting to prove that love never fails. Well, all it took was a failing grade to sway her belief but what about the Saints? This is where I stood ground and quickly asked her what the teachers point of reference was. A look of amusement scrolled across her face as she realized where I was going with the discussion. Yes, given Ch

i was told that my vision could not be founded on the hopes of money.the same source said that mentors are a must have too.the question isn't about wealth building but where your heart is.the word of Christ stipulates that the love of money is the root of all evil.many misconstrue the verse as an interpretation defining money as evil in and of itself but that is false.money is nothing but a tool.it has no value by itself but when put to proper use...,no one complains. Jesus is not opposed to us having things or wealth for that matter but he doesn't want us to desire or overextend ourselves to obtain it.seek ye first the kingdom of heaven.meditating on gods word day and night is a direct link to not just just success but good success .god has a system and it has rules and guidelines .follow his plan for your life and run parallel to those guidelines or better yet,in the same vein.he loves us and showed us by sacrificing his son Jesus for us. don't know many of us that
