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.
