He responded there needs to be some recreational actiivities for the youth, the other gentlemen said if some of that property over there where cars of just parked was available, there would be some place for the youth to play.

If I thought you would.

A young man seemingly upset was talking to his father about a possible lucrative deal that fell through. He told his dad about how his agent was meeting with some movie producers concerning his life's story. His agent was told that the story would be great but that there was one problem. The promoters seem to think that the part of his life should be played by a Caucasian actor. When asked on his behalf why should that be when the story was about his accomplishments. The agent was told Africian- Americians just aren't seen in that light. His father looked at him with this unsettling stare and he said dad what's the problem? He said , dad you don't think I would agree to that do you? His father replied; son if I thought you whould have even contemplated on that, I would have had your mother standing right next to me while you were being given a blood test.

Am I in someway responsible for this?

This is a time in which unmoral living is accepted as being the norm. Children are left to care for themselves, resulting in animosity toward instruction and discipline. Laws ban adults from correcting their own children through discipline. Persons are in positions of authority that truly shouldn't be there, as made evident by their inactiveness and disregard for equity. Laws have been broken even by those who penned them. More emphasis is seemingly put on tearing down than building up. Am I somehow responsible for this?

The teacher asked her, “How are you able to maintain yourself so respectfully while being under what seems to be constant verbal attack from the other students?” She replied, “My grandmother told me that when other people don't have anything to say about themselves, they are afraid of losing their voice, so they begin to talk about other people. So, it's good she doesn't have to be afraid.”

The Ripple Effect

While walking in the park together a young girl asked her grandmother a question, "Grandma, I'm very puzzled by something. I did something wrong, but it was such a small thing, and for whatever reason it has blown up causing people I don't even know to dislike me."

His grandmother responded, "Son, in this day and time you must hold on to your beliefs and stay in constant prayer." His grandfather said, "Some people of today don't believe in moral living, and they are consumed by their ignorance and by untold amounts of evil. Son, never allow yourself to be deceived into thinking God doesn't see how these people act, or that He will withhold judgment on them. He's already given the ultimate sacrifice in His Son, Jesus Christ, for all, even those who spit at His council. But rest assured they will all, someday soon, try to hide under a rock that can't cover an ant."

May 30-2009. By divine means of God Himself walks through the gate this three feet one inch cannon ball. From day one it was evident that the volunteer coaches had their work cut out for them.

This little cannon ball began to glow where darkness once was and shine bright as the noon day sun. God knew that there had to be a chipping away of the rough to bring to manifestation this three feet one inch shining diamond.

You required me to do things that you yourself have never done.


Yet, you build a large and privatized building for my encasement.


You tell me how messed up most of my actions are.


Yet, there hasn't been a time in my past and current existence I have ever seen you.

At an emergency town meeting, there was an urgency to root out the reason for the escalation of the crime that had taken hold of the town, a town which twenty years ago was safe to raise a family in. The panel consisted of law enforcement personnel, clergymen, college professors, wealthy businessmen and a deadbeat parent. All were pointing fingers and attributing the blame on the young people of today. When time was given for those present in the audience to voice their opinions, this well groomed, six-foot-tall, silver haired, 89 year-old gentleman seated next to his well educated grandchildren stood to his feet and professed, "I have worked on the railroad for fifty-five years, and I've never seen a caboose cause a head on collision. In fact, that could only happen if the engine somehow got off the the right track!!

Why am I in this place?

As I sit and reflect upon the state I'm now in, is it all worth what I've given up? Am I trying to hold on to something that can't and never will be? Here now, facing myself, I can't hide behind excuses. I can't lay blame on anyone else. Should I pray for courage to attain the wisdom and not just happenstance? My time passed gives evidence to the realities of what's been. Will I continue to accept that which I should never have allowed? Why am I in this place?

That Special Day Spent with my daughter.

We started out toward a destiny that was planned a week before, G.P.S. in our minds we arrived at our predetermine special today’s spot. I was not willing to bypass the joy of her company, for reason; of her having to work on her birthday in days to come. After being seated in a booth of our choosing, I watched her as she so readily headed to the buffet table, blanketed by pride I felt resulting from seeing her likeness and same demeanor as her mother’s. We engaged in conversation that would make any man thank God continually, for being gifted with a daughter that had come into the realm of adulthood, carrying along with her the values and teaching bestow in her youth, and the advanced enhancement gained by way of her education. While sitting there eating and talking, looking into her eyes, I in my mind, hugged her a thousand times. That day will always be special to me as being : That special day spent with my daughter .
