I'm Right even when I'm wrong

An excuse is usually given in order to justify an action or to shift the blame for a deed done. A kid forgets his homework and the kid tells the teacher his dog ate it. This practice is known as the blame game or

passing the buck and it can be traced back to the original man and woman Adam

and Eve. When God asked Adam about the sinful act committed in the garden Adam

pointed…

Walking a Mile in his Sandals

A child is born into this world without any knowledge of how this world operates. Children are dependent on their parental figures or caregivers for the sustainment of life. Everything a child will learn about this world is taught to them by another human being. Have you ever heard the term you can’t walk a mile in my shoes? The truth is we are all walking a mile in somebody else’s shoes because our lives are a reflection of the people that… Continue

In America we have fought many wars none more notable than the civil war between the Union and the Confederacy. This war was a political, social,… Continue

The Eye that never Closes

I love watching those TV shows that have hidden cameras that catch criminals or employees on tape doing something they shouldn’t be doing. It is funny to observe the behavior of an individual as they take every precaution not to get caught only to realize that surprise your on candid camera. In the society we live in hardly anything is done in secret especially since the internet has become more prone to gossip than actual information. On any… Continue

Storybook Life

Some of the greatest books ever to be written have been autobiographical/ biographical books. The Diary of Anne Frank, The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr., Grace Abound to the Chief of Sinners by John Bunyan just to name a few. Autobiographical books are books written about the life of a person by that person and biographical books are books written about a person’s life from another person’s account. Each and every person’s life is an… Continue

Time has a Deadline

In a physical year there are 365 days and in a leap year there are 366 days. In a physical week there are seven days and one day is a total of 24 hours. During the course of the year there are four seasons and in your life every 12 months you will grow a year older. The idea is that time is measurable and it is not a constant.

Star Wars, Terminator, Dances with Wolves, and most recently the record breaking movie Avatar are all films that feature a group of people being oppressed for the values that they represent. We watch these movies and we are… Continue

Growing up my mother would often collect unwanted items that serve no purpose and store them in the closet. The problem was over a period of time my mother would continue storing unwanted items or clutter in the closet until the closet was unable to serve its natural purpose. Instead of being an… Continue

Our Day Has Come

“ Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel,

And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:

‘ I am the First and I am the Last;

Besides Me there is no God.

Since I appointed the ancient people.

And the things that are coming and shall come,

Let them show these to them. –Isaiah 44:6-7

(NKJV)
