2018: Year of Change and Growth

Everything’s Magnificent 2.0

Daniel Caesar – Freudian (Album Review)

A few months ago, I wrote a piece for Vibe Fridays: Daniel Caesar – Get You. In it I talked about Daniel Caesar, a relatively unknown from Toronto with buttery smooth vocals, church background, and soulful lyrics about love and life. Today I’ll talk about his debut album, Freudian. Let me say this clearly. Daniel CaesarContinueContinue reading “Daniel Caesar – Freudian (Album Review)”

In God I Trust

The past year has been a tough one for me. I’ve had highs and lows that have sculpted me into a man who I would not have recognized months before. I did one of the best things in my life and possibly one of the most dangerous: I asked God for something. *gasps* I knowContinueContinue reading “In God I Trust”

My Identity in Him, Her, and Them

Until recently, I’ve been desperately searching for a sense of meaning while loneliness, hopelessness, and restlessness swallowed me whole. Sickness moved in as I began losing confidence in myself and the world around me. I lost my ability to interact with others as people have been become more apathetic and the notion of the UnitedContinueContinue reading “My Identity in Him, Her, and Them”

A Peace Prayer

Hey Papa! I just wanted to reach out to you again asking for your mercy, grace, and blessings. I’ve talked to so many of my brothers and sisters in Christ and I’ve felt their pain. I’ve heard their struggles, and as the world gets darker, I’ve seen them start to lose hope. With that understanding,ContinueContinue reading “A Peace Prayer”

A Simple Prayer

I pray that every person reading this has peace in their heart. May an all-encompassing stillness fall on them to ease their nerves and pain. My love abolish hate and fear. May calm settle their souls. May November bless each and everyone of you with prosperity, wisdom, strength, growth, and much more. God Bless! TurnContinueContinue reading “A Simple Prayer”

Sailing through the Storm (Pt. 1)

Still water, untouched and unmoved, almost appearing as glass, reaching far beyond the horizon into the unknown. Clear blue skies enable you to see the shore and the wind feels good on your skin. Everything is perfect as you sail out to parts unknown. You can still close your eyes and envision the crowd ofContinueContinue reading “Sailing through the Storm (Pt. 1)”

Pray WITHOUT ceasing

I’ve been very transparent about my struggles on here. I even admitted that my posting schedule has dropped significantly because of these struggles. Yesterday, I was talking with a mentee about love, life, and everything in between. God and the concept of prayer came up. While encouraging him through my weakest moments, something I toldContinueContinue reading “Pray WITHOUT ceasing”

Hurricane Harvey & Contradictory Christianity

I’ve been hearing the same sentiments over and over. Online or in person, people have a bad taste in their mouths about Christianity. Why? Because the “Pastors are pimps. “Congregation is judgmental.” and “no one is Christ-like anymore”. What caused this thought was Twitter hanging Pastor Joel Osteen out to dry for not opening hisContinueContinue reading “Hurricane Harvey & Contradictory Christianity”

Ultimate Wishes for Changing America Pt. 1

Yesterday I wrote about Religious Bystanders in Politics and racked my brain thinking of the different fields that need immediate change. Last week, a close friend asked me if I had the power to make anything I say come true without consequence, what would I do? The catch is, I do not know how long my powersContinueContinue reading “Ultimate Wishes for Changing America Pt. 1”
