The Secrets to my Success!

Sometimes we think we are someone that we clearly are not. For a long time I thought I was a humble Christian. I thought I was this "good" guy who knew God and didn't do this or do that. But what is humility? What is the definition of Humble? You see it wasn't until these last few days that I realized that I had no idea what humble meant. I thought it meant beating up on myself and taking pride in the things I didn't do for myself, and all the things that I was doing for me to not be about ME. But you see there in lies the problem, in my failed attempt to be humble I was making it all about myself. And as they say: EPIC Fail! Being humble is not about how much I don't do for me, and how much I go out of my way to not talk about me. Being humble is about how we lift up others. Being humble is completely excluded ourself. Sometimes in an attempt to be humble we do it for ourself. For our own personal gain and it has nothing to do ...

It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood! As I enjoy a small scoop of ice cream with middle daughter Faith, I marvel in the warmth of the sun. Sometimes father/daughter alone time can be just what you need to lift your spirits. Granted its hard to have a conversation with a six year beyond fart jokes and giggles. By the way Never challenge her to a thimb war, shes a pro! My little baby is sick so I figured I'd treat her to a little date. Before coming out here I got to watch the other two come up with some amazing games. I really don't think there is anyone with more of an imagination and innocent heart than a young child. Children can come up with the simplest of games, names, blames, and just all around fun than any of us as adults could ever dream. It's a shame that we grow out of that phase as we mature. Life is simple when your a kid, there is no stress and worry. We decided along time ago that its acceptable to train our young ones at an early age to meet deadline...

Have you ever wondered why they named junk email SPAM? Maybe because it's crap, and goes well with a side of “stop wasting my time.” But sometimes I admit I like reading it because they are so crazy. Like this one: Brethren, this is to notify you that  one of the company I inherited from my husband deposited a total sum of Ј8 , 763,280.00 GBP which is equivalent to $13,242,928.02 USD Million in a long-term deposit account in a Financial Home here in UK. Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for Oesophagi Cancer. I've since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only few years to live I mean come on, who really buys into this stuff? And who has the time to concoct such a ludicrous email? I’ll never understand how the world can be such a conniving place, or how gullible innocence can be.  After high school I worked (unintentionally) with a man who was once caught going door to door to old w...

          Do you ever sit back and wonder why?... What’s this all about?... I mean the whole world seems to revolve around money. We’re born, we grow older, we get an education to learn how to make money, we go to college, so we can make more money, and we get a job to make money just to spend it all. Why are our lives so subjected to money? Why do I wake up each morning so I can drive to work to make my money by making some other money by taking some other guys money that did the same thing before me? Is that the meaning of life?

I had the recent experience of getting to work on a show that was produced by a local ministry. The event was quite a large one and had multiple facilities and big names. Now if you don’t know what I do for a living that is fine, but during an event like this I do the setups and a lot of backstage and behind the scenes.  Now for my own personal lifestyle choices I will have to say I didn’t expect to see the things I did on this event. I’ve always been scared of big churches and large events that use God as the vehicle. You can’t always trust the motives of those behind them and although I think a lot of the information being put out was good, I got to see sides of people I didn’t expect. The almighty dollar always seems to reign supreme to even the most spiritual.  Religion has a bad rap nowadays and there is usually a huge “BOO!!!” when all you hear are churches asking for money, etc. Then for many to see an event like this where a lot of unnecessary money is spent and you ...

1. Compromise: you are not always right. And even when you are right your not.  2. Commit: never ever give up, do whatever it takes no matter what. There is nothing more to say. 3. Compliment: there is nothing your spouse desires more than your approval. 4. Do everything possible together: there is nothing stronger than unity. No one else can push you harder and make you stronger than your spouse when they have your back! 5: Eat and laugh: ladies laugh at his jokes at all cost, guys eat her food and smile! PS....Forgive: you ain't perfect either. 

What can God do for me that he has not already done? Has he promised us wealth and riches, did he promise to make our life burden less and happy? Who are we to be so arrogant like a young child to expect more. Am I reading the wrong scripture, I must have skipped over the part where God bestowed among his disciples a Bentley and a beach house in Malibu. What more can I ask for when my God sent his son to suffer and die for me so that whomever believeth In him shall never perish, but have everlasting life. Period, end of story. Nothing else needed. Is God a giver? Yes he is; he showers me with his grace and mercy because we all fall short of the glory of God. To want more and to expect him to give more is just greed and selfishness. His blood and his flesh is all I need, all I should ever want. Too expect more would only set me up for failure and disappointment, not because he won't give me what I need but because my heart in dark and what I want is not always inline with want my fa...
