Starz in Black! Is there COLOR in heaven?

I am probably going to get some negative comments about this, but, I have to say something! Watching tv this morning, good movie with Samuel Jackson, and a few other good actors. I got to noticing "Starz - IN BLACK". Now honestly folks if there was a "Starz in White" they would all be shanghaied and sued and tattoed as worthless!

You know the point is that in heaven, there is NO COLOR! Our bodies are just shells. Modes of transportation for our spirits; for who we really are. So... with that said, let's all see what we can do today to start to live in unity. The United Way, means much more, so much more. Love your neighbor! Break down the invisible color barriers! Let's knock down some walls people! God bless you all!

A Man must be what a Man must be!

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be. Abraham Maslow

It helps to remind us what we are supposed to do in order to live a full and fulfilling life. That is where these blogs help. When we feel the need to be creative, to be "who we are" then, we have an outlet. My best analogy is like a dammed lake. If you dont let any of the water out then it becomes stagnant. Open the dam, let the water flow, and the lake is full of life refreshing and giving life to all around it!

The blessing of "Get To"

Gratitude!  Is the word for the day.Today, is father's day, 2011; and I get to spend the day with my 74 year old dad, and my 17 year old son.   After all that has happened in my life, I have learned to thank God for the blessing of "Get To".  Rather than complain about all that is not happening, or that Dad doesn't do things the "right" way, or that my boy doesn't make the best grades, or whatever.... I might find wrong, at the moment.  I remind myself, how fortunate I am to be able to enjoy their company.  It is all about perception.  It is all about how you see things!

Thank you Jesus, for opening my eyes!  Happy Fathers Day to Everyone!

YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!

This is one of the most inspiring videos I have ever seen.  The whole day has been inspiring, and, eye opening to say the  least!

No need to be down!

Just listening to a song by Terron Brooks - Down  While riding my bike to the gym.  Thought it might inspire you as well!

Service - The essence of success!

The truly successful person doesn't use others, other people use them.

If you can contribute to others, no matter how small your talent, you too can become successful. The measure of anyone is the number of people that they serve. Service to others is the essence of success. No one achieves success without being of service. All great men and women became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.

Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody.

Why blog?

Ok.  Well, this is my first Blog post!  You may ask yourself... Why a blog?  Well, there are many reasons.  First of all, FaceBook, just seems to go away.  Some of my inspirations, I want right in front of my face on a daily basis.  I work hard to Pump Myself up.  I do daily meditation, bible reading, meditation, journaling, exercise, and or a combination of any of the above.  I do something EVERY DAY!  When I am inspired, I want to write it down, and be able to remember it a week, a month, or even a year later.  I believe I have some good stuff (and, some not so good!)  But, for the most part, when I go back and read my stuff, it is good, and inspires me all over again, or brings me back to the point of inspiration.

FaceBook is a good tool, and it is a platform, if you have something simple to say.  It is also GREAT for connecting with old friends, or making new friends.  It is not good for really telling who you are.  Hence,  here I am, hoping to inspire myself, and others!
