Welcome to join in this prayer.

Thanking God for all of those that He allowed in my life and including those that have gone on to glory, I sincerely pray for and give thanks on behalf of those that may not yet realize who God actually is and His love and patience still being handed out to them and myself also. My being blessed to still be here (on earth) at the age of sixty and in my right mind (not all will agreed to that lol!) is reason enough for thinking Him, when I see how so many are going through mental and physical problems for what ever reason it will be boarded on insanity not to, I pray that all will one day come into the so needed awareness of God being the only source needed instead of the so many people and things they seek for acceptance and or validation. Again as I always state; my belief's and conviction's are in no way a means for condemning or maneuvering anyone over to the way I feel, those of you who worship the True God I serve I stand in agreement with you in your prayer for his answering according to His WILL. Happy New Year!!!!  Love! God Bless!!

Request through prayer.

Being in the mind-set of where I find myself today and at the age of sixty, my request in prayer to God is that He continue working with and on me in what ever area He deems necessary, and if by discipline or punishment He allow me to maintain the wisdom and understanding to endure the trial. I also request through prayer that all those that I have in someway been apart of lives, and have in anyway caused them any discomfort or hardship wither it been through my being ignorant of the fact or what ever momentary state of not being able to realize it; that they accept my apology for such gesture, those that unfairly hold things against me that I am not at fault be given the ability and courage to face and accept the actual reason for that they unjustly hold myself and others as blame. I think God for gifting me with the wisdom for seeing things as they are, and the understanding for potential causes/consequences that can result from one being ignorant of, or for what ever reason not accepting what is truth, as in a time before; many were having what they believed to be big fun and partying when another was being instructed to build a boat; the flood waters or now at the door again!

Smiling snakes.

I wonder! if when Eve was in that garden did that snake (Satin) have a smile on his face as a deceptive cover while he was speaking to her, reason for my being curious; his offspring (coaches/instructors) that are in the boxing gym among us has/duplicate his same character trait.

True to the fact!

What should al-ways be shown.

I can remember a time when those things that were significant took preference over all other's, for example, a kid receiving a hug and or praise of appreciation from his parents, a mother or father doing or saying something of appreciation to their parents for their up bringing, married couples noticing and attending to the need for special time (verbal & romantic) with the other regardless of what ever disagreement between them, friend letting you know how he/she feels about you even when ways were parted for what ever reason, I guess we have fallen so for from what is to be of the most importance, oops! excuse me for a moment,,, sorry about that interruption, had to go in front of the mirror and let that image know how much I appreciate him.

Shouldn't be allowed.

Your work is not in vain.

Specifically speaking to those of you out there that are helping others, and your reason are proven to be that of genuine love, care, concern, you may or may not receive public recognition for what you've done and are doing, believe me; those that you've helped and are helping if not now one day will realize and think you greatly, I've been blessed to see some of those that's come through  my and coach Dawson's Barze (now decease) program as kids and young adults, now doing for others and their own kids as was done for them, some of these kids were caught up in the streets, mind-set that blinds one to his/her worth and potential, former drug user/dealers, school drop out, disrespectful and now professional and productive human beings. Again!; please continue your commitment and hard work through which God grants you honour and He receives the glory!.

Time of sorrows.

Those of us that are not sadden and alarmed by where we are today should be, reason being; we seem to be living in a time where young people hate themselves and others, resulting in senseless killing and all sort of sexual activity which has an attachment for deteriorating health and causing death, many of our young people living in a hopeless state, those that should be as a mirror reflecting to them what should be have fail them miserably, judges, police officers, politician and clergy (so called spiritual leaders) being exposed for been opposite of what's to be their intended statues and purpose, just think;, what kind of pressure it must be; being required to be and act a certain way when there's no model or base for duplicating, I truly believe we have enter into that predicted occurring; Time of sorrows.

Watching our world being torn in pieces.

Seriously!, anyone having two an a half seconds of sense can see the deterioration of this world/society, all of us could be in some way contributors; wither it be through apathy and or us being with out the ability or courage to step in where need be, and us not supporting those who have proven themselves effective in combating against this craziness, none of us are immune from the possibility for being in someway effected by today's rapid falling away from what's right and good, I believe the time has long come for us all to in some way bring about a way or join forces with those who are effectively combating against this madness.

Locking up fall out.

Had not the bomb been drop there wouldn't be any fall out. Those of us who perceive ourselves to be wise and with the understanding for knowing the cause of society's downward spiral, are we with out doubt of what we believe to be accurate, reason stated; seeing the jail time being given to those that are caught committing and or being accuse of committing crime, mainly young black males, and the cry for getting this wave under control is great, and should be!, but; why isn't that same cry targeted at huge record corporation persons that produce, request and support the manifestation of this music lyrics culture, why isn't that cry targeted at those that tear down schools and replace them with structures for incarceration purpose (the new stock market), where are the arrest warrants for those big organizations/companies that bring there weapons in our communities in the name of gun shows, there may be those that don't agree with me, but; I believe we have fallen short for being of the ability to discern hidden criminal entities from that of fall out or maybe we've become to gutless to face the truth and attempt method for ending this madness. " Bottom line!The truth is; we're failing as leaders, in family structuring and supporter of what's right."
