A Day In My Life

When I was 12 I could no longer be 9 When I celebrated 20 I said goodbye to 15 When I welcomed 30 16 was no more Sorrowfully I observed the arrival of 45 truly 7 has faded away What is the point? Every level of growth presents two things promotion and cessation I can't be 37 and still hold onto 19 I won't succeed at 41 If I don't leave 23 behind The number grows and my wisdom multiplies So does the distance from my childhood Somethings are too precious to lose To valuable to let go But time will cause forgetfulness to steal the potency of the moment Its just the way of things -sj

Holding on to what you used to do.. only hinders what can be done by you now -sj

Beware the Little and its unseen mark The just one and its subtle deception there can never be just one even if it were true its victim would crave more thus the trap laid well baited and packaged secure the prey is seldom aware of the danger Because who fears just one? Take caution with the small They seldom gather alone Never apologize for taking control that is your gift if exercised properly it will serve to maintain a healthy distance from diversions, side tracks or un-reclaimable dreams Your future will thank you and your regrets will number low -sj

Creativity is sometimes Violent, turbulent It contains a certain level of inflexibility  A lack of conformity But it is never short of energy Or beauty Traits of uniqueness are its mark Individuality is its form Inspiration is its tool Its audience is never limited Because it uses know definition Nor separation Prejudice or its brother the 'ism' Clear is its message  Always understood by the beholder -sj

Good or Bad it weighs the same when it is time to reap The difference is in the sowing That determines if the experience of the future is Good or Bad -sj

It's almost time to reap Be confident in your harvest -sj

Whether a man sows or not He will always reap -sj

Sometimes limitations are safeguards, not stumbling blocks -sj

if you have the power of choice, then you also have the power of control -sj

A little slide, A little lie, A little too much of this and not enough that. At what point will exercise your right to Control your flesh? Sooner than later would profit many. -sj

There is no such thing as only 'hurting yourself'; your circle has more than you in it. Therefore your actions will be felt by many. -sj

If you don't teach..you will still share knowledge if you don't learn...you will certainly teach -sj

'Highlights' Magazine has Caved to the Left           Wednesday, December 7, 2016 Dear Supporter, Where is the last place parents would suspect their kiddos to be exposed to same-sex "families" portrayed as normal? In the current controversy,  Highlights  magazine decided to include same-sex families in their magazines. Babies and preschoolers will soon be introduced to this sensitive topic in the  Highlights  line of magazines. Parents are seeing more examples of children being indoctrinated to same-sex families as normal, especially in the media. Children's publications are no longer off limits, even those that cater to toddlers and elementary age children. A lesbian mom reportedly complained that the magazine  Hello  didn't feature any same-sex families.  Hello's  audience is children 0-2, and it's published by  Highlights .  Highlights  had explained that they believe parents should decid...

A Prayer For The Forgotten...Promises For The Redeemed: Father, I come to you Lord God; King of Kings and Lord of Lords! The Most High! The Lion of Judah! The only One Who Is Worthy!  Lord Thank you! Before it was me it was always you; Before the Sun learned how to set You Are Before man You Are, After man You Will Still Be Their is so much we have done wrong..to ourselves to our brethren; we have forsaken your commandments to Love Our Brother and Cause Him No Harm We have allowed paper to outweigh blood; we see our sons struggling, fighting enemies and demons they were never warned about; And yet we still withhold our knowledge of you.  We watch our daughters destroy themselves from the inside out. We teach that CHOICE, CONTROL are more important than responsibility, Chasity and obedience.

Wisdom Pearl: Don't Mortgage Today's Debt on Tomorrow's Earnings.. -sj

Don't you love a good cliff hanger??? No? Neither do I honestly..but it does keep me hungry for the continuation of a good read. When last we met we spoke of death and its gifts. I will not recant on that statement. Death does leave gifts it doesn't matter that we don't welcome them. So far in my life time I have buried: my natural father; a son; uncle; grandfather; paternal grandmother; beautiful mother n law; an aunt and a host of friends along with warm acquaintances. Some separations Have just tore me up. I didn't care if I saw another sunrise...so great was the pain. But God!! He saw me through it all! No matter the warning, sometimes through dreams or visions I am never prepared for the actual departure. I always try and guess who is leaving next based on age or health but I am always surprised..never pleasantly. Usually, after the initial shock of it all come the fond memories, loving thoughts and the best of all gifts perspective. Think about it.. the th...

Wisdom Pearl: Death, Even when it is an expected visitor, seldom is it ever a welcomed guest... -sj

Death is not a subject that most people would be comfortable speaking about. Matter of fact it is a topic of distaste or dread. One would expect a elderly citizen to speak candidly about death, final expenses, service arrangements and inheritances to their loved ones. Not to the parents of a critically ill newborn or a high school athelete at his/her prime. But death has no such boundaries as age or timing. It is its own entity. Even if death is soon expected no one really feels prepared for it when it arrives. The very thought of having to deal with the loss and separation of a loved one (related or otherwise) truly is unnerving. However, it is a very real part of our existence. Everything has its time to die or to live; to be born or turn an age; just like the seasons every part of our lives has a silent order that we can neither control nor predict. We can only weather the course as our circumstances dictate. We are quickly approaching the winter holiday season. For Christians (...

It is not your job to make people listen...it is, however, your task to play the music. -sj In other words, be obedient to your cause and never worry about the outcome. Because the One who gave you the assignment is the One who will control the outcome

Another Monday Football Game in America and the National Anthem was sung with soul, vigor and passion. The men and women in uniform looked outstanding in their presentation of the flag. People were standing, hats removed from the heads of citizens and the respect was heart-felt all around. I have a lot of admiration and respect for the players who pray on the field before the game, but that is rarely shown. Instead the camera pans over the teams and there are several players who opted to use their right of free speech and peaceful demonstration to protest the Flag given the recent, but ever present, racial issues in America. Here is a summary of my thoughts: 1. Players and any other citizen of the United States have the right to protest or show support for causes that are important to them. a. Does that include the protesting of the American Flag? Yes it does b. But it begs the question of should you do something because you can? Kinda like winning the fight but losing the war ...

As I am sure it is with you as it was with me all of the events of the past 10 days swirling around in my head. Totally lost sleep over it; however, being awake in the stillest of hours allows one to think. To commune with God, to pray and conduct an honest assessment. So it wasn't a really bad thing. As the news continued to multiply over the unfortunate deaths of two unarmed men and the subsequent fall-out: rampage, opinions; riots; hate speech; call to arms; and more division; I thought to myself REALLY? How much longer are we going to look only at the outcome and not the root cause? The cause ladies and gents is sin. Ever since Adam & Eve were ejected from the garden a Pandora's box full of ills has plagued our society. Murder being one of the oldest but not before disobedience which kicked it all off. Before I dive any further into this discussion it is important that a few points are made clear: Enforcers who break the law should be subject to the same justic...

Anger is not bad It can fuel my hands to create change It can purpose my mind to attack on the level intellectual It motivates me to persevere until I see What I am trying to reach It can make me move to be my brother's keeper And a lonely child's protector A voice for the most vulnerable among us Anger forces my view to narrow, then widen And narrow again Sometimes the answers are in plain sight Anger can pull me into educating, sharing And gaining allies for a cause they didn't know existed Anger takes the sheets off and exposes my emotions Raw, Naked, Untamed, Powerful But if I leave it in that state it will Destroy Me And deny Respect to my Sphere Leaving no Inheritance However, it still isn't a bad thing It can't be bad nor good; it is a tool It's all about the use of it -sj

Just a thought: If I don't care about you Man of Clay Why do I care when you set your house on Fire? If I don't care about you Woman of Earth Why would I care when you tear up Yo Block? If I don't care about you Child of Fire Why would I care about your line When it doesn't cross mine? None of your actions Harm Me None of your threats move me to Change None of your tears fill me with Compassion So Answer me This..Why do you Waste Your Passion On Acts that destroy and not build? Perhaps if I saw Your Energy, Your Will, Your Intellect, Your desire, Your hands Lead Me To The Promise Land *how to care, * brotherly love, * human compassion, * how not to racially profile * how to understand your speech, * how to earn your trust and respect, * how to build a partnership, *how to work with you not against you, * how to show me the door when I don't comply Then I would be more apt to follow -sj We must be the change that we want to see

Borrowed Pearl: He is no fool who gives that which he cannot keep; To gain what he cannot lose. - The Late Jim Elliott Inspirational Christians.org

The summer has unofficially come to an end! The family has returned from its' whirlwind trip to the Midwest; and we are struggling, just like many of you, to adapt to our new schedule. On the bright side, Myles did not fight us to go to school..come to think of it he was rather excited! WHAT????? This is the same kid who would hold onto his bed like a cat; screaming, kicking and falling out because he was over school and had terrible separation anxiety. Thank you Jesus that he has grown out of all of that. Thank you God that you have shown me his triggers to prevent meltdowns in the first place. Oh where was I? Oh yeah the whole schedule thing.. I thought we were doing quite well considering we just touched down on Monday and school began on Tuesday. Nate is a soldier even though he has a harder time adapting to change than Myles. Vacation was amazing. I love the hometowny-ness of Greenville. People still speak to you whether they know you or not; folks try to know the names of y...

If all you can do is breathe Then do what you must To keep your movement In a forward progression Challenges are impartial They are Unfeeling They don't discriminate They just are I wish I could take them from Me From You But that is not how we grow That is not how we learn That is not where we show our Strength So breathe, Child Betta is around the Corner And Yesterday will swallow The struggle of today That is the nature of Time Breathe without weight of Regret Acknowledge what is needed But don't stay where you shouldn't Accept your self as self who makes Errors But breathe to release frustration before it Turns into Merciless Conviction Breathe, knowing you are loved With the Dawn you get to start again... -sj

The last segment concluded that almost all of us (parents) desire to see our children achieve a certain level of self sufficiency . We relish their growth physically and the progress they make mentally. Especially when connections are established. None of this is bad, quite the contrary, it is great! But when our kids start developing beyond our reach then our concerns grow. If they suddenly do not desire our company or feel like they can do it all on their own. Part of us grows resentful at the lock out. We scramble to try and look ahead to warn them of any potential pitfalls; We gain headaches trying to logically understand why they reject our wisdom, advice, companionship, guidance or whatever. What is so puzzling about the fact that we want the BEST for them? Then it hits us..they are operating in self-sufficiency. They are exercising their right to make choices as they see fit. Despite our protests or warnings they create their own paths. It is in their nature to do so. Rebell...

Si Sufficientiam (Pt. 1) The term is actually Latin for 'self - sufficiency'. I remember coming up how Bishop (my Mom) would constantly tell me that I needed to learn to be self-sufficient. Which meant do what needs to be done just because you see it undone before I tell you to do it. As a child I hated that term because it usually meant a lecture before and after the mention of it. Now that I am a Mom I completley understand the whole thought process behind that statement. I find myself being cross at my husband and kids when I see something out of place. To me it's common sense that your shoes should be neatly placed on the shoe mat; or don't place your headphones or earbuds on the table (yuck); and of course leaving items on the floor. Who cares who placed it there? It shouldn't be there at all! Oh My GLOB!!! Some days it is enough to pull my hair out. Why? Everyone knows socks belong on feet not floors. Toys belong in a box not the floor or under my feet. AR...

For so long...I ran from home I couldn't stand the sharpness in your tone I didn't understand your lack of delicacy in correction Nor did I care for allotment of none when My errors rose So I jumped in the wind, not caring where it took me No plan of my own Moving with the flow that was the strongest Wasting alot of energy Misplacing alot of love But I never forgot the good at my center It got harder to deny it's place I'm older now My fights are chosen with wisdom Weighted by tenderness Now I can love you for you I can handle who you are I can hear your love despite your tone I am not crushed by your words Tender are my thoughts towards you Guided are my actions Purposefully I enjoy our time together Deliberately do my steps lead me home -Sj

Son of Adam, Daughter of Eve.. Do not mistake your role. Do not think higher of yourself than you ought to; you are but dust and the Lord your God remembers that. As such it needs to be said: Adam  you are acting out of your place. The Lord does not need your belief in order to carry out His Word. It is, however, beneficial to you if you choose the side of belief. It will be counted in your favor. -sj

We need to learn to disagree... I am a Christian and I have core beliefs that will not change no matter the challenge or argument. Just because I oppose someone's or some groups life style (s) doesn't mean that I HATE them. As I have said before my job is to present the Life Saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. Nothing more nothing less. I respect that others have rights, opinions and the power to make choices just like I do. I do not believe that anyone, including our government, has a right to punish those who are asking for religious exemption from certain acts that contradict their beliefs. I most certainly don't believe that one group should be targeted for random or planned acts of violence because of their views or lifestyles. Every American citizen has the right to pursue their life as they see fit and weather the consequences of their actions either good or bad. This weekend was marked by communion for me and many more who believe as I do; but for others it was...

SMH In light of the recent headlines, I felt a strong need to add my voice..so here it is: On Friday June 10, 2016 the world was a little bit dimmer because of the senseless murder of Christina Grimmer, a beautiful up and coming pop singer; before the weekend is over 53 more souls will be victims of planned acts of violence. No one, not even those I stand in disagreement with, should have to deal with acts of terrorism, violence, intolerance or hate. My family and I are in prayer for the families and survivors of these two separate deadly attacks. What I hope doesn't happen is that any one group walks away thinking IT is the only target.  We are American, Christians, Blacks, Whites, Gays and Straights and we are all targets. If we look at the mass shootings that have taken place thru out our (U.S.) history we will find some common denominators: 1. Gun possession is not regulated, policed or monitored consistently from state to state 2. Mental illness 3. Religious fanatic...

Wisdom does not flirt with ignorance Nor does it share its bed with destruction It does not eat with Apathy Nor does it walk with indifference Wisdom is light Not manipulation Wisdom is Salt Not a slave Wisdom eliminates bondage It survives rejection From the very ones it was sent to help Yet it stands Tall and true Unaffected by the whims of man Unhindered by his lack of respect To all it still remains Free, but worth the cost -sj

Beauty Is.... Wisdom calls aloud outside She raises her voice in the open squares She cries out in the chief concourses At the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words: How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity For scorners delight in their scorning,  And fools hate knowledge. Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you I will make my words known to you  Like it? There's more of that contained in its 66 books; try it sj

Indifference is not a shield nor a fence It will not protect you Nor guide you It can not help It is not in its nature Action is its enemy ignorance is its friend -sj

Wisdom Pearl The Devil is only secretive about his motives never his whereabouts! -sj

Wisdom Pearl Evil, intolerance and immorality are not bound by the lines of color. They operate in any willing or unguarded vessel. They don't care about the make, the model, sex or status. We should aspire to operate on that level; using our acts to the benefit of mankind not destruction. -sj

Sin wants no compromise; it's sins way or the highway..I am taking the Higher way.  -sj
