have always been an enthusiastic reader. When I was very young I got caught up in reading books about religion, mythology, etc.. By the time I was seven (7) I had read both the old and new testaments of the bible, dozens of books about Hinduism, Buddhism, Islamism and numerous books about ancient mythology. Being very young I knew nothing about shades of grey and saw everything in black and white.
Are You a Victim or a Conqueror?
Are you the victim of circumstances beyond your control? Do you blame others maybe even God for your fate? Or can you laugh despite all the turmoil inside?
From the School of Pain to the School of Vision
Always there and waiting for an invitation from us, the Grace of God is truly the answer to our prayers and beseechings. When we embrace the Grace of God we are no longer forced to learn our life lessons at the mercy of pain, but we are open to living life guided by Vision and Inspiration.
As an Associate/Youth Pastor I have been treated as a second class citizen?
Isn’t God good? There are times when we can get upset with those around us and only turn to One who is True and loving. I have had the pleasure of serving as a Youth Pastor and as a Senior Pastor. I have noticed slights and social Faux Pas on the part of others. What I have gleaned is there is a sense from some Senior Pastors that their calling is somehow better than those of a Youth or Associate Pastor.
God Exists Brighter than the Sunshine
God exists. He created us not only with His great intelligence but also with His great love and care.
A Step to Spiritual Greatness

Gods Happiness Principle
Do you know God’s definition of happiness?
Be Courageous!
Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest. (Josh. 1:9)
God, our best friend
What is the definition of a friend? With one, we can relate. with one,we can be totally comforatble. With one, we can be ourselves. And with one, we can share our deepest emotions. All our fears, our aspirations, our problems, and our dreams. A friend is one, who can be counted for support at all the times. who is there for us, whenever we need him/her. Who will never laugh at us, but will laugh with us. How many of us have such a friend?
Be Lifted Up!
The secret to being lifted up out of your situation is to praise God!
Hope: the Power that Perseveres!
The more you learn to rely on hope, and by faith wait in expectation for the desired result, the more patience will develop. Patience will result in small breakthroughs which, in turn, provide you with the experience that no one can take away from you.
Bible Road Map – Or the Road Less Traveled
Has using the bible as a guide, ethics, common decency and plain old fashioned horse sense all become relics in America. Lets just say, it is not looking good.
