You are price-less (Young ladies)

It can sometime be a blessing to listen to good advice especially when it is freely and honestly given,  there may be one of two people that's been targeted concerning this advice; the young lady that will accept it's wisdom or the one who would disdain it's offer. Specifically speaking to you young lady, yes you,, no need for looking around; When you find yourself to be on a quest for a desire which seeks a merging of two to become one, you should first realize the value and worth of yourself , because this allows your not mistakenly accepting that which can damage the value and worth of the one doing the seeking (you). A diamond has a distinct beauty and it's glow radiant extends far-out away from it 's root with a glory of it's own, while in the hands of a actual diamond cutter it is under  skillful  and protective hands for maintaining  and or the chipping away of the ruff for the sustaining of it's value and worth, if for what ever reason it is to be in-trusted to the care of a glass cutter which is one when he drops what's in his care it usually breaks and your being a diamond will mostly be scratched and the shine dull, even with that being the case the value and worth remands the same because or the authenticity, there are many great diamond cutters out there but you can't and want find them in a glass store/shop. I believe that you being who you are and regardless of your past mistakes, you now been reminded of your value and worth have no desire for being handle by a glass cutter, and is about to put your shine on. (you go girl). God Bless!!

Twisted.

How is it that those who with out question are on the wrong side of common sense and or reality, are in great numbers and boldness out in front with their views, being greatly supported by others who think as they do, we who supposedly know the way for right/morals appear to be in small number and tone down vocals, scarcely any support for backing from those which think as we do.

Old school.

I'm sure there are those of you out there that remember a time when if anyone was interested in dating any member of your family, he/she would have to come into the house and meet all family members and was made along side of the party of interest to understand that this position if agree upon by the two heads of house (Husband and Wife  ) , is really a privilege moment for being an potential extension to and not separator of the family.

Positions warrant it.

When one is with out the knowledge for understanding the significance and authority given in position, it can and should cause their need for that being discipline in this area for being taught or risk great lost. When a man/women hold the position of a spouse that person is to be respected to the ultimate by the mate regardless of what ever evils comes against their union, reason being; because of that position status which warrants such, and because it's a position which when God has blessed (favored), it should not be taken for being of non significance for what ever reason (whoso ever find a wife find a good thing). If those of us that are ignorant to certain things would seek out those that are wise in these areas, we would then realize that consequences for some things can't be avoided.

Not knowing actually means= unnecessary consequences.

Believing myself to be one that is well understanding in a great deal of the history and instructions recorded in the Bible for guidance toward a good and productive life, I find where as I sometimes have questions for those I believe to be for what ever reason in error with the teaching of when you forgive someone for trust passes against you there should also be effort to forget, I think this has some how been twisted in it's meaning and has and can cause the lost of lives of those following these instruction, let it be known I'm not a preacher or Bible Scholar and very much open for being corrected when in fault. When there has been a forgiving of those that wrong others for what ever reason, it doesn't automatically change their character, and niter does it release them from God's correction or punishment, Christ instruction to us to forgive others also blesses us while obeying this commandment against Satin's racking our bodies and mind with stress and other evils He (Satin)  has attached to non-forgiveness. If an UN-skill mountain guide was to lead a group of hikers along a trail at night and instruct them to walk three feet forward on a cliff that's two feet long, would it be fair to say that even if they forgive him , do you think it to be humanly possible for those who went over to forget. It is my belief that even when we do our very best to forgive those that have done or caused us any kind of evil, the not forgetting can and should be used as experience for the identifying of gestures (red flag) for warning others and not allowing it to happen to themselves again.

Agree or disagree?

Question:

Are we not aware that things gotten are by method of exchange and the major method is currency. Agree or disagree?
We that are aware of our children monetary statues when seeing them with material and or things which demands a method of exchange which most of us (parents) can't afford or credit out, has this not cause you to be alarmed and or maybe for what ever reason given over to; so what, agree or disagree? when it comes to the kids living in our homes that has pattern him/herself to doing things their way for what associations or relationship enter into, have you ever gave thought to what they may have swapped and who with for what ever and your not exercising your ability for authority to maybe stop or control them, agree or disagree? Are we just OK with not being concern and have no desire for anyone bringing you word or advice about this matter, agree or disagree? I can say and with out any need to apologize to anyone; our kids are being lost in great numbers and we all (adults, weak leaders) are in some way responsible regardless of what we say or how we feel about being told this, I believe this situation to be manageable if there could be a coming together of the two heads of house holds (where possible) and community involvement  for changing the mind-set and behavior patterns of this young society (with the inclusion of some older ones also). Where is it written that states children should be allowed to stake the boarder where parenting stops.

I don't suppose my writing to be with out disapproval and or miss-understood my some to be as targeting certain persons or sector (maybe even family members to), as I've always stated; my writings are that of my experiences and convictions along with visuals taken from today's society.

Could this be the reason they're not coming?

We are now in a place of time where there are many wounded and few places for them to go for treatment and qualified physicians for treating them, this problem is as vast in the spiritual as in the physical. When someone is hurting from an certain cause or what ever reason that causes discomfort ; there's then a need for those that are trained and qualified to assist in this area for the treating toward their relief, when you having buildings that are filled with those that seems to be models for Sax and Gucci and others that for some reason gesture with turn up noses toward those that may not dress or pretend to be seeking God as they do, not to forget the main actors (Clergy) with there gimmicks for the securing of growth for monetary and or statues reason, could this be the reason they're not coming? I as being a man with a family and also responsible for the shaping and caring for as with others lives my having commitment to, must face things and people as they truly are and UN-cover that which is deceptive and able to destroy those that I have been privileged by God to be accountable for. There are good/moral Doctors out there also along with Great Men/Women of God, but you should be aware that the chaff (worth-less) is growing among the wheat.

Truly impossible'

Any man/woman promising you that they can make your life as great an carefree as you would want it to be and they have no knowledge or tangibleness with God, you are at that moment witnessing deception as it falls from the tongue, there isn't anyone on this earth or it at all possible for anything to trufuly guarantee you a carefree and or uninterrupted life from the storms that will come even in the life of believers which has the umbrella of Christ to repeal the rain. I pray that those that are being victim to these so many gimmicks pertaining to life being this grand cake walk of Cristal paths seek out that what is the actual truth concerning life, because if you were to open your eyes and see all of those who supposedly have the things and people in their lives for making this possible you want find One who is truly happy or satisfied with out the usage of some sort of drug or suppressive method.

I do know you are out there.

Some time there is this bad feeling that comes across you as if what's been done in your past and maybe decisions you figure you need to make but your having not the courage or ability for what ever other reason to,   maybe your reason of your not being able to know or understand your true value and worth is because you may be worried about and or depend on those that or as blind to that same thing as you are,, that is; your purpose for being and value which caused someone (Jesus Christ) to show you the kind of love  that's genuine and where there is no need for you to swap anything in order to be a recipient of such. The things you are now going through is not foreign to any or to true believers as yourselves and you must come to the realization that your faith is define by your not yielding to that which has a date with all that have breath, and your going through what-ever has a expert guide in front to bring you all the way through and to your place of purpose. In order for you to beat this moment of being confuse or just darn right tired, surround yourselves with good/moral associates and seek out Leaders that has proven themselves to know God and not trying to become or sell Him, you should remember even though there are things in life that you can are will never see you have to hold on to that which  will always be (God). Love God Bless!!

Fading away of the dimond cutters.

A diamond cutter is one who he/she possesses the gift of patience and the eye for guiding skillful hands toward the cutting away of that which has a beautiful and valuable stone covered, life for those that has been blessed by God to have been as that of the diamond on having one that lovingly and patiently instruct in the areas for getting rid of the non- essential baggage and shaping their lives to what should be good and productive for themselves and others around them. We are now in a time where there is a fading away of the diamond cutters; but the stones they've UN-covered will be here for the exhibiting of the fruit from their skillful commitments.

Reason for the hurt.

When one has or is doing what he/she perceive to be honorable and just toward those they love and care about and the one on the receiving end for what ever reason become disrespectful, untruthful, selfish and UN-appreciative, these action has not the power to negatively effect the genuineness of those that exhibit these gestures of love and concern, what causes the hurtfulness is the knowing of the potential consequences at the tail end of this ignorance they're capture in and our not being able to combat against.

If a donkey was told by it's mate  that it was glad it had no little donkeys from this union which validates it's not having any suggestive right for disciplining or leading the heard, it has to be an ass to not realize it's limited position for guiding a team that it has no actual biological attachment to.

Beware of what you speak (sometimes it's not worth the lost).

I know it to be with out doubt that the words we speak rather it be through ignorance or out of momentary anger or disagreement, these saying from time to time take on seeding that can and do effect the sustainability of marriages , relationship, friendship and any other reason for others being in closeness. It should be the ultimate of priority that one do his/her best in the maintaining and controlling of their tongue at certain time, when there has been what we call a slipping of the tongue,, there should then at that moment or an appropriate time steps taken to UN-root the seed that has been planted concerning this verbal gesture, there has and will continue to be growth with others and oneself destroyed and or ruined because of this not being handle in a mature manner and time frame, there has yet to be anyone or sector immune from the evils and or correcting of this major potential happing of the tongue.

A certain sound is generated for the potential on-slaught of a destructive force.

My hearing reasons for what is now happening in the minds of our black youth which attributes to their acts of lawlessness, causes me to be alarm and even more passionly ready to do what ever I'm able to do to curve this hopeless mind-set. when anyone has reason themselves to commit any act of lawlessness against others because their chances of getting caught and punishment can only result in being given a better opportunity for basic survival privileges and the seeing of a good friend. There was a time in when a man/women freedom was the fuel for their existence and he/she would run away from the so call comfort of being a slave, they would rather accept death then to succumb to the mind-set of being anything other then who they were. Those of us who have twenty seconds of common sense have better get on board for finding ways for combating this maze of discouragement,
which has deeply rooted itself in the minds of so many black young males (females and some other ethnic cultures included).

Four heads of life.

Until those of us who for what ever reason being not equipped with the tools for identifying and or upstanding things and or people, that are caught up in these webs of deception for life style and choices, we will continue to be puzzled and with out the ability to cause the necessary guiding and instructions toward the good/positive path, life has four heads that's directing toward the path; observation, instruction, parent and leader, every human being is a recipient of these laws, we journey through life seeing, hearing, instructed, and lead by leaders, when a parent or leader is out of his/her place of purpose for what ever reason the subordinate (kid) is now at the mercy of what's seen and heard rather it be negative or positive.

Last line of defence.

It is fast becoming while living in today's time as being in a war zone, and it has caused a great deal of those that have run out of means for defending themselves against the opposing forces to retreating to the church (righteous gathering), it is my prayer that those who are doing so will choose those that has Aline themselves up to the way God Himself purpose it to be and not be deceived into going into these buildings with these gimmicks and it's clergy actors, because the church (righteous gathering) is truly the only and last line of defense.

Is it just me.

Have you ever given thought to how things are in today's time, and if not are you conscious to that there isn't anyone immune from being directly affected in some way by the evils that has encased itself all around us. I can remember a time when people would care about what was going on in their homes, neighborhoods/community and themselves, it now seem to be as if not many really care about the ways things have become or how they may end up, which to me is and should be alarming, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that this current society is living on the edge of potential destruction (physical and mentally).

Those of us that are not in our places for what ever reason are ignorantly assisting in the seeding of this today's culture. It is not  possible to wage war against anything or anyone with out leaders that are train to lead their army in a strategic manner, how many wolves can be stop from slaughtering sheep  when the Shepherd is asleep, how is it possible for those that depend on you to get them to a place of point when you yourself don't know how to find it, could you with out doubt say to yourself that you have been taught and or instructed in the ways for combating against what you see in today's time,  need for strong honest (Moral Minded) persons to stand against and cause to be put in order for good and safe way for living.

Why seek everthing else but that which works.

Those of us who study and perceive ourselves to be with out doubt believers of the the Bible's contents for that of being the history and revealing of God's doing and cape ability for getting other things done, what if we were to pray for the so many young rappers that has these gifts for expressing themselves through lyric and sound, that they be blessed with change of the mind-set which has deceived and betrayed them by way of thinking by verbalizing selfishness and desire for monetary and or sexual gain along with violent act toward others is the only path toward success in their craft. Could it be by interceding in prayer to God on their behalf would free them to use this God given talent toward that which is good and moral, would so effect the lives of their listeners whom have chosen to follow their way for life and expression. We who call ourselves Christan or what other label tangibleness to God we wear need to practice what we purpose to be, especially those of us who are always stating about the power or prayer. If God being able to change the mind-set of one (Saul) that had the backing of highest authority persons for dispatching armies for the demise of others, can't He change the mind-set of those that have only record deals.

KEEPING IT REAL.

Even in this time of so many evil and deceitful people that pass themselves off as being Spiritual and or political leaders, there are real and honest men/women that are handling and worthy of these post they hold, I have seen both and with out doubt know God will expose all as for whom they really are (good or bad), but I do know we that are truly Christ followers should be of the courage to face those that are phony and exposed them that are leading so many to damnation along with themselves that are

ignorant to who Christ really is, we should support and pray for those that are honestly (keeping it real) standing as the Shepard they were ordained by God to be. I being a man blessed and in trusted with a family by God to lead and protect from all evil that I am aware of, I have to face negative or deceptiveness that comes against my family and all others who's lives I may be in some way playing apart in. Any person or group that pressures anyone to become a part of a certain sector or group in order for them to treat and or care for them in a God loving way is the red flag you need for knowing  they really don't ambassador for God, those of you that are honestly seeking for the kind of relationship that is the only means of causing the kind of quietness in life even in the loudness of life's storms which  all will experience, look for those that stands as Spiritual leaders that practice not the pressuring of any sort of purchasing for God's goodness, I am not ashamed to say that I do hold membership some where other then where I and my family attend for Sunday services when I'm not involved in my duties as a boxing coach traveling or just darn right lazy! lol!!, I will no way try to steer anyone away from where they find themselves to be satisfied in being, neither am I saying where my membership is on the books isn't a good church, I can and will say where we now attend the pastor has proven to me to be with out doubt one who knows he is but a man and realizes his position to be that as an ambassador and servant of God with out any gimmicks which has proven to be a method used by  many so call men/women of God. I thank God for all He's done and is doing for myself and family and again being just a man I'm not always on point with my thoughts and doing, but I will not as long as I'm in my right mind allow myself or family to be subject to any kind of gimmick spiritual
 or political so call leaders.

Beware of the squirrels (fast and tricky).

Being one that loves old movies that were mostly made in the 60's reminds me how some use to have substance in what was being viewed, there was this show called Drag Net which was about two non nonsense Detectives who when interviewing a suspect or witness would always say to them "Just the facts please", If that mind-set was to be applied in today's culture, it would eliminate most of the time waisted when one is dialoguing with those who actually aren't who they pass themselves off to be. If a squirrel was to tell a turtle it was a speed coach and could train the turtle to increase it's speed, Is not that turtle now worse when it comes to movement by stopping and dialoguing concerning what can never be.

Emotion in the way of authority.

I'm at a point in my life where I've learn and still strive to learn more about the reason some things are the way they are, It seems to be that we're in a place in time where things that should be in it's proper place has taken a back seat to disorder, when I see where those that should be in control of the structuring of their young have for what ever reason given in to emotions instead of position of authority, and also the quickness in the way chosen leaders result to the characteristic's of a follower, my prayer is that I in no way give into this state of weakness which results in most of what we see today in our society. I have also come to the realization of there are those that for what ever reason will willfully and passionately combat against you if you dare to bring this truth to their attention. Being as I am it is a constant struggle most of the time in my attempting to explain my understanding of the way I think some people should conduct themselves (never taking the position of judging any!), I have for the most part of my young and adult life mentor and coached and still today kids/young adults in sports and education and moral awareness, I have and will give my all in what ever it is I commit to in the helping and teaching of other's, I can't and as long as me being in my right mind tolerate or allow being disrespected for any reason regardless of who it is. When there is the allowing of emotion to supersede necessary need for means of authority disorder is at that time given ground for seeding.

Fast fading time.

I can remember a time where values and respect and the support of two or more adults stood as cement when it came to rearing and disciplining adolescents, I am now sadly witnessing that way of life's structure fast fading away in many families. There was a time when a family unit was held together by the adults structuring what was to be and not to be in their house/home, where there was not a two family head there were always a wise adult in either the person of grandparent or Aunt/Uncle. How is it that most are of this mind-set you have to be your kid friend and understand and agree with their way for their path toward life because things are different now (I give them that for truth; those of us that should have the guts and sense to stand as mentor and leader have change to weak and convenient agreement person's). When I see how easy it is for families and marriages to be torn by way of kids having their way allowed by one of the two that should stick together in decision making siding with a kid that have not the knowledge to dress themselves properly and or respect those that are their purpose for being; it to me is evidence of a fast fading time, there was a time when the adult/adults regulated the time and places where a kid that resided in their house/home would be allow to go and or be with and know and not wonder where they were. How is it that one can allow any young person to bring someone in their house/home and feel there is en need for there to be questioning of this person because you don't want to embarrass your kid (what rock is that written under?) fast fading time.

Three doors to life.

If your belief is that of  mind and that the Bible contains recording of the true and accurate history of God's instructions and doing, even with my and others not and maybe ever being able to fully understand it completely while on this side of life. If you as I believe Adam and Eve to be the first human beings brought forth by God, is en it sensible to think that death was no way in the picture or future of man/woman, when the sin of disobedience was carry out by both  ill-regardless of who went first, it then began the need for three doors for life, reason being; door number one for entering into a sinful world destine to a path toward door two of death hopefully when pass through clothed in the acceptance of Jesus Christ as only Lord and Savior with contact to God,  finally at entrance to door three where if cloth's with the obedience to God that was available when in life, then begins the gift of being with the only true and loving God through out all eternity as was purpose before the fall away to sin. (There is also a place of being lost through-out all eternity, by reason of rejecting Jesus Christ).

Greatness gone back home.

Today I had to say good bye to a dear friend of over thirty plus years, Coach Dawson Barze and I coached amateur/pro fighters together for many years and mentor many others. Coach Dawson lost his fight today 9-1-2011 with Cancer and will be missed by myself and the whole James Joseph School Of Boxing team.
