“FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
THAT HE GAVE
HIS ONLY
BEGOTTEN
SON
THAT WHO SO EVER
BELIEVETH IN HIM
SHOULD NOT PERISH,
BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.”
JOHN 3:16

Facing Your Giants
As I watched the DVD – Facing Your Giants, I wondered how many are plagued
by giants that are tearing them to pieces on a daily basis. When do we,
myself included, say that’s enough!! The Lord tells us that He has placed
an open window for us who believe to walk through to escape. How in the
world do we do that?
Black History Month
In 1926,, Black History Week was originated by Carter G. Woodson to be celebrated in the month of February, when we especially honor the many excellent contributions that Black Americans have made to the nation in Traditional Culture, Religion, Entertainment, Government, Sports, the Arts, the Military, and many other arenas. Black History Week eventually became Black History Month.
The following are a collection of thought-provoking quotes by some notable men and women of the the African American community, for our contemplation and edification.

WHAT IS LOVE?
IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT GOD IS LOVE, AND THE WAY TO GOD IS THROUGH LOVE. I CAME ACROSS A POEM WHICH MAKES ME REFLECT ON THE MEANING OF LOVE.
THE MEANING OF LOVE
BOTH LIGHT AND SHADOW ARE THE DANCE OF LOVE
LOVE HAS NO CAUSE
IT IS THE ASTROLOGY OF GOD’S SECRETS
LOVER AND LOVING ARE INSEPARABLE AND TIMELESS
ALTHOUGH I MAY TRY TO DESCRIBE LOVE
WHEN I EXPERIENCE IT, I AM SPEECHLESS
ALTHOUGH I MAY TRY TO WRITE ABOUT LOVE
I AM RENDERED HELPLESS,
MY PEN BREAKS AND THE PAPER SLIPS AWAY
AT THE INEVITABLE PLACE WHERE LOVER AND LOVING ARE ONE
EVERY MOMENT IS MADE GLORIOUS BY THE LIGHT OF LOVE

What’s Inside Your Egg?
Securely tucked between two mountain ranges there was a slightly aging two story house which was not at all impressive. There was no running water and the only heat that was available to the family inside was a stovepipe running straight up the two stories. The pipe was hot so everyone knew well enough to not approach it.
Prayers for the Homeless
I have often thought of the homeless and maybe to some degree said prayers and at times even given a blanket or a little food. But, recently I have read and seen so many new homeless situations in our nation that I was once again awaken to a need. Living in the Nation’s Capital or other large cities at times we become desensitized to many situations without even knowing it. Many times it is just feeling completely helpless.
While reading and seeing many news reports of the ‘homeless’ I began to understand the great increase in homelessness in our little towns and villages across our great nation.

Because it’s just Destiny
Here is a poem I wrote. It helps me remember God and Jesus are in charge of my destiny. Only God and Jesus know. My song is called ‘Because it’s just Destiny.’
I still believe in destiny
Right there hand and hand
With the Master I worship
And his Son that I love
Will I stay strong
I still believe in destiny
With heaven coming
And a future I don’t see
What will it be
I don’t know
I don’t know
It’s just destiny
Oh, Destiny
Destiny God made for me
With the help of his Son
Who will help me get done
I see and I know they are with me
Because it’s just destiny
Oh, Oh, It’s just destiny
