Paradigm Shift

Why did God say not yet
Why did the teacher say be quiet
How did my parents know the truth
and commit future knowledge to me aloof
When did the stars and planets align
and nowhere did I see the signs
Then I understood what it all meant
the truth, being quiet, no signs, not yet
If I knew all there was to know
I'd miss the potential
to know all that I could know

Thought for Today: Reservations are required

When going to a popular restaurant, tables are typically reserved indicating that your table will be ready at the time reserved for you. At popular events, without assigned seating, you'll find that people reserve seats for individuals in their party to make sure they have a seat waiting for them. Imagine, you reserved a place in your heart for that special someone that is coming to be in your life. But it took time for them to arrive. As you're reserving the seat for them others may inquire about filling that space. However, you are committed to insuring that the reservations are preserved.

And now the seat is occupied with the wrong somebody when the right person for

Thought for today: The missing leader

Since the conversations about racism, hateful actions and disrespect are now open. Can I ask the rap culture when will you stop the disrespect and hateful language in your music, especially, towards black women?

Maybe God will give you more leadership responsibility when you start showing up as leaders. Stop calling, treating, and responding to us as if we are there for your sexual gratification. I refuse, and now I no longer am attracted to you. I have a desire and a need for someone who will help me get into heaven.

Thought for today: Jesus Loves Us

I want to lead into the show by telling you an interpretation of this one story in the Bible of this one mom’s struggle and what it may have felt like for her to have her son locked up and given the death penalty. As he was dying, one of the last things he said was recorded in the book of John 19:25-27 “26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, 'Dear woman, here is your son,'  27 and to the disciple, 'Here is your mother.' From that time on, this disciple took her into his home." and it reads Mary was robbed: A son and a mother’s bond is usually unexplainable. He can do no wrong in her eyes. Even when he is dead wrong, that mother still holds the right to say “But he is my baby.” The judge, jury, video, all witness accounts can call him guilty and in that mother’s eyes he is innocent as the day he was born. A mother’s bond with her son is difficult and sometimes even impossible to break challenged onl
