Yoda Yoda!!!! is what's most heard, concerning crime, and mostly from those that has not contributed anything towards fixing, what they complain about. I agreed, crimes being committed by some young people is out of control, but; what train you know of without a powerful engine, can stop the cars being pulled from derailing?

God's way for delivering His blessings, are usually through one particular person, Satan's way for blocking and or stealing them, is through, many deceptive people, and your way for protecting blessing; is ability, through  discernment.

There is that time.

One looking at the way most of society is today, has to wonder!!!! A great many go about as, if they are blind to the happens going on around them. I don't wish this to be a shock to any, but; reality has it's time for arrival at your door step. There is a time, when allowed anorexia of the brain, tears down the hold body, and willful disdainment for wisdom and knowledge, sometimes result; is, deafening screams deep down in the soul. Take time to research past human history, some of you, can use your own. How many have and are even today, miserable just for desire of what they once had, and for whatever reason, gave away or lost. It would prove beneficial to hold on to, what's really a blessing from God, and not take for granted, because, if you do; there is that time for crying/screaming.

?!!!!!!!!!!

I find myself, at times wondering, if maybe I am the one that has it twisted, reason being; my experiences over the years with some people (family included), concerning me giving of myself in time, substance, loving care, and what I believe to be at times, good advice. There is without doubt evidence of my seeming to being somewhat of a nuisance, not desirable for moments of association, and most evident, is; my being taken for granted. It really seems, as if most today has no clue, of the blessing that is before them, which, makes it in no way possible, for them to receive or "one" to give, all of what's really there.

Donkey talk.

There was this field trip given for a school, that was for bad behaving kids. Some parents/parent also went  along for the outing. After reaching this small area in the country where different animals were kept and available for people to see while visiting. There was this big long and wide mirror overhead where the donkeys were kept, for reason of those ahead to see the people with them if in the back aways off. Two badly manner kids were shouting out how dumb and stupid it must be, to be a jackass, one of the donkeys started walking up to the gate, which separated them from the crowd, the other donkey asked, where was he going, he responded; " I'm going to ask those two kids to look up at the mirror, so they can see their parents/parent aways off twerking for that crowd, and what a real dumb stupid ass looks like."

Reflecting time.

Wisdom and a fool agreed to sit down together, and discuss each other's view concerning life, the rules were; there would be no interruption while the other explain their belief's/view, interruption would be noted as:

 A. Uncomfortable because of question.
B. Being angry.
C. Now doubting what was belived.
D. Hating the one asking.

 Mr./Mrs fool had the floor to speak first, after two hours and ten minutes of explaining views and reason for path chosen for living, Wisdom looked into fool's eye and asked the question; "have any of the things/people you've chosen to be your guidance/god (small god!) without doub, proved to be what you thought and wished for?


Question:
If Wisdom was to sit down with you and agreed as above, where will you be in the alphabets?

Hugging a landmine.

I was taught at a very young age; one's ignorance/disobedience/selfishness, is great substance to those that wish to destroy you. There is and will be a great deal more of crying, hardship, blocked opportunities, orchestrated by our own doing and not doing. How many wasted moments given to partying, material quest, ignoring of family and moral values. Those treasures which many gave their lives for us to attain, has and is being stripped away, because; of our sleeping at the wheel. We, meaning; all that are in the cross-hair of this evil energy for controlling/manipulating/ destroying certain people's culture. Hopefully the realization of this on coming storm, winds will twist some sense in those; that has potential for receiving twenty seconds of common sense. Voting rights being stripped, is an open door for well devised hidden flood waters.

You were created from Greatness, and have none to compare to you,  you are of  worth that's beyond any jewel on earth or in the universe. There may be times when you are not appreciated in your status, but; no person/thing in existence can diminish your value, wither you be sick, free or incarcerated. You are EVERY human being on this earth gateway to life. There can be no dreams, or goals set without your being. Your honor and glory rest in who you are; you are a mom; today is your Special Day, and I want you to know; "you are loved, needed, appreciated!!" God Bless!! Happy Mother's Day!!

Feelings dead.

There has to be a numbness of the heart/senses, for one to continually  live a lie, as if it's truth. There is without doubt, fear of being exposed for what actually is, for one to deceive himself/herself and others joined to them, by way of their believing what truly isn't. Those that don't do research for acquiring ability for discernment; usually suffer unnecessary hardship/miseries not warranty.

There's no telling the difference.

How is it possible to tell the difference when contrasting appears to be similar?


A. Homes with one parent with kids/young people, allowed to do and come and go as they please.
B. Home with two parent that allows mistakes, selfish decisions to be rewarded, instead of consequences; which puts a stop to such actions.

Because it's real.

One has to really be in touch with the ways of God, to understand how you can love and still be concern, care about those who did you great wrong. I in no way suggest, that anyone should allow those that do wrong/disrespect you continually back in your lives. I at times have to ask myself; how is it possible for me to still love and care about those that have and still today act as though I never did anything good toward them, and any others. As I said earlier in this writing; "one has to really be in touch with the ways of God to understand how my love, concern for them can still be possible". Like most parents raising our young, and one day facing their being possibly influenced, by all these deceptive methods (spirits), and they, one day  targeting us as the enemy. Been a coach for forty plus years, has afforded me this experience of being worried about many young people, some who decided for whatever reason to side with disrespect, lying;  for cover of fear of exposure for what actually is. My position (coaching) has cause me hurt, discomfort but; it has not, and never will destroy the love and concern I have for, their being successful in pursuing good things in their lives". If it was possible for a "Lamp Genie" to grant me one wish, it would be;  I wish, they would one day before my leaving this life; realize how I still do, and always will feel toward them." God Bless!!

Time's winding down for all.

I have come to the point as to reluctantly accepting the truth of today's time, that is ; many speak about knowing and worshiping God, but; it's in no way evidenced in their way of living, neither their stance in principle. A great deal of people have swapped their stance in belief's (morals) confessed, by reason; of not wanting to offend or lose those they love/care about. I have at times found myself to be quiet concerning, about some things, that those I in someway have association with, but; I want walk over what I believe to be truth concerning my conviction in morals for anyone/anything! I believe, it to be time winding down for either or, and straddling the fence, on what and how one stands in that he/she profess to believe in. I also know myself not to be one who judges any, neither will I allow any to judge me in my stance for what's my worship/belief. The truth is; we all will be at a certain moment, held accountable for our doe's and did-not.

Coach.

This goes way back to about when I was five or six years old, I can picture it in my mind as happening now as back then. I was picking some weeds out of this elderly lady's garden earning a nickel, her name was Ma'mane. One day while standing on the end of this porch three feet from the ground, looking down at me she said; "God has something for you to do", honestly, I had no ideal nor the understanding to know what she meant. It would be a thousand miles from the truth if I told you I understood everything and every reason people instructed me in while being very young. I have been bless to have had two loving and God fearing parents that reared me (father deceased), a host of caring family members at times pitching in. As for my road on becoming a Mentor and now blessed with the title of boxing coach, that was seeded by my loving first cousin "Eva Dyke's." Eva was the Mother of the neighborhood and all in the community. I saw her take pennies and do what others couldn't do with thousands of dollars, she never let any kid within her reach go without what was needed at the immediate moment. Eva , with me most times glued to her skirt tail exhibited to me "what God truly meant as for loving and taking care of others." I can without hesitation say; "my life as a coach was seeded through my loving cousin Eva Dyke's." My now being a coach for thirty five plus years covers the highways of track, baseball, football, basketball and now boxing.

Stories along the way:

I was asked by a co-worker in the mid seventies about helping to coach some five years old and up in basketball, I told him I would be honored to, he then asked; "would I have a problem coaching white kids", smiling I responded; " kids are kids." The coach (my co-worker) named Robert told me some of the parents and most of the people back in this small community were extremely racist, boy; "was he ever telling the truth!" Brings back memory of me disciplining this one kid and his mom going before the Board of Directors, accusing me of being racist toward her kid, funny thing about that, even stated by the Board Members;"Mrs parent he comes back here as an unpaid volunteer coach, plus, all the kids are white."

Some of the experiences from coaching boxing:

Boxing and fitness training is where I find to be where all of the teaching and wisdom gotten from Eva Dyke's (cousin) has and still to date comes into play, that being: not allowing those and that which comes against me to deter me from what I believe God commissioned me to do! There has and still today times when those of the adult age, whom I've helped understand the science of the sport, proved to be dishonest, back stabbers, etc. etc.... These people mostly those owning or head supervisor of the gyms we trained in, found excuses for my having to leave their establishments, even while talking against me to those I was working with. Over the years a few kids were lost to the streets because of my not having a gym of my own, I still regret this, I believe they wouldn't have been lost had I a place for them to be. There were a few kids which allowed others to get in their ear, some which showed disrespect toward myself and the program (given their walking papers!). I've at times had those that witness my commitment to the ones trying to slander my name, ask me why haven't I destroyed them for what they've done and trying to do, my answer; " how could I stand in the authority of an agent for change, if I result to doing what I teach others not to." Its hasn't been all bad and there are some success stories. Terrance "Tank" Dumas, this kid was made known to me by a friend I know through boxing. One day while in the gym with my good friend Coach Dawson Barze (deceased), here walks up with my friend this 6'5" 270 lbs giant, coach Dawson looking over his glasses, my friend saying to me; "coach help him out he really don't belong in the street life", my not knowing either to run or stare, after I requested he sit down so there can be leverage for eye to eye contact I responded; "son, I can help you only if you truly want help", this giant with eyes gazed toward the floor said; "no one has ever help me do anything." Terrance "Tank" Dumas is today a well respected family man, youth Mentor, Ordained Minister, Professional boxer.

Talk to them in love.

What if we were to find ways to communicate to those that we love, care about, concerning what we know to be paths that robs them of who they really are. If we were to someway concerning the dress attire, sexual premises of our youth, young adults, instead of sounding like dictators come across in ways to be accepted and understood. There are ways for getting across to others when there's wisdom displayed  in the outreach, sometimes acceptance by those ignorantly entrapped in certain mind`set. Those that have been blessed to have come out of certain situations, are best for handling what others like themselves were once trapped in. There has to be at all cost the remover, exposing of these so called experts in giving advice from emotional state not founded in fact. We have and still to date lose a great deal of youth, young adults unnecessarily, because of our falling away from the only combative force available: standing in courage of parental authority, leadership, respectful, being responsible!

Twisted purpose.

The easiest way to destroy and intended purpose is to deceived those that the initial purpose was directed toward. When there is a power in place that can cause the mind to fall prey to wicked desire, at any cost pursue that which is desired; you then have what History of the past has recorded; remnants of that same twisting methodology exist today. Those that give themselves over to misusing, abusing, obstructing, degrading and utterly destroying others, the most horrible thing about this twisted way some in society has allowed themselves to side with, is; when they run out of the ignorant, those who give their lives in resistant, they then will become victim themselves to the powers that uses them for it's bidden. It is my belief; if a man/women was to be faced with what actually is (wickedness) concerning the targeting others for unjust burden, he/she would find themselves to be below the characteristic of a snake. If a snake has fallen it will be eaten also. "Should give you something to think about huh!

Broken up, not broken to pieces.

How many of us have given up on others that find themselves struggling with whatever it is that have them entrapped. When anyone gives up hope on themselves or others that for whatever reason has fallen short on life's intended purpose; it plays into ignorantly participating in destroying a potential great an useful human being. I am not saying everyone has the desire to live and do right, but, how are we to know if there is not an effort to assist in them being given a chance to prove otherwise. It is written in a certain book concerning someone coming from another realm, just for purpose of  helping, saving those fitting this category; His not willfully ignoring but doing the necessary thing for them having the chance to accept the only way for them not to be destroyed in their ignorance, exposed to them an others in this world hidden treasures (understanding, wisdom) which benefits even us in today's time. I have seen those that held and sold poison (drugs) to others, now holding in those same hands understanding, wisdom and freely sharing it's power with other's

Whats your reason for destroying/killing other's?

There was a time when history openly showcased unimaginable horror being committed  against certain human beings. Back in those DARK ages of 1700's and into following years; excuses for committing such horrific acts were desire for having cotton laborers, huge plantations, ignorantly feeling superior over other's. In today's times poison (drugs) is being used as controlling substance, guns as way to keep the trade going for exchange of getting spinning rims, bling bling. A great deal of the executioners are similar in shade to the victims. Times may have changed, but there's still remnants of ways/mind-set as back then; those ignorantly targeting there own as slave master's top Boy (better known as house?).

I'm sure this blog caused you to either be mad, or be about getting your act together for doing what's needs be done, undo what wasn't needed in the beginning.(all out of love people!)

What's really there, can't be twisted.

If you are one that's really really really tired/fed up with that/those proven to be, without doubt  based in flaws/lies concerning life's true meaning/intended structural path; Wisdom offers you the only way, to what can eliminate the potential horrors that awaits all void of it's understanding. There are many still alive today, that have these treasures of knowledge, which contain wisdom for living/enjoying life's as originally proposed. I've yet to witness, any other path than that stated in the Holy Bible, that can cause, the joyful, peaceful arrival of what one believes to be a good and productive lifestyle. There are all kind of supposedly based researched paths for enjoyable living, medicines attached with adverse effects, that are as worst as what's being dealt with. Many has vast differences in choice for what's desired, all of them (choice) are subject to the power of amending. When there is not the ability for discerning, one is subject to accepting the mind-set of, seeding of the opposite, which makes possible the planting, and potential for probable heart ace/misery/ruin etc, etc.... No changing for whatever reason, altered terminology of any original, can change it's purposed consequences.
