The Good News: Wise Words from the Street

Today’s Good News was an important one to see coming from my background. Being from Detroit, I’ve seen too many kids get in fights because of pointless arguments or just from friends instigating. When I was young, I was even in a good amount of those fights myself. Check out the following four minute clip.ContinueContinue reading “The Good News: Wise Words from the Street”

War Room (Movie Reflection)

As a subtle but not so subtle transition, I spoke about all types of relationships except the one that is most important to me, God. All this week is inspired by my exploration of my relationship with God. I wasn’t able to see The Shack yet, so let’s talk about a surprise enjoyment, War Room instead.

If I Knew Then… Pt. 3 (Relationships)

I remember when I was young being asked, if you had a magic book that would either tell you who you would marry or when/how you would die, would you want to know? Would it be worth it if you missed that person or know you had to patiently wait? Which would you choose? IfContinueContinue reading “If I Knew Then… Pt. 3 (Relationships)”

Letter to My Son

I’ve already written two letters to my daughter and one to black women but today goes to my son (that doesn’t exist). With all the extensive pressure to perform and live a certain way to society’s standards, I want to reach out to him. I want to give him some lessons I’ve never gotten about growingContinueContinue reading “Letter to My Son”

The “Up”s and Downs of Relationships

A few weeks ago I was watching Up, and I must admit that I was late to the party. The movie itself was charming and went from ordinary to strange very quickly. The entire first ten minutes were cinematic genius and for five of them, not a single word was uttered. I was in aweContinueContinue reading “The “Up”s and Downs of Relationships”

Why We Struggle

I was down today. After overcoming so many barriers, I was still down on myself. I was down and doubting myself so hard, that God had to tell me himself, it’s okay. I will never shy away from my faith.  My relationship with God has saved my life multiple times but this was different. WhileContinueContinue reading “Why We Struggle”

Week One and Personal Time

Quick Update: I am exhausted mentally and am taking some time off to process and pray. Everything that has been going on in the news recently has been wearing me down. President Luthor’s first week has been such a roller coaster. Here’s a “short” video detailing all of his actions. With that said, I’m goingContinueContinue reading “Week One and Personal Time”

Moana, family, and leaving home

I saw Disney’s Moana today and cried. If you have not seen it yet, I recommend a good Google search, dollar theater, or getting it the moment it comes to a Red Box near you. It was everything I possibly could have hoped for from a modern Disney movie and more. It had a moreContinueContinue reading “Moana, family, and leaving home”

Time Lost

In the midst of the political turmoil, 24-hour news cycles, social media rants, and 60-hour work weeks, it’s extremely difficult finding time to focus on anything except what you have to do next. We always have something to do. We spend countless hours working, making money, and  inevitably living for someone else.    Recently, I’veContinueContinue reading “Time Lost”
