This week, I’ve felt the need to do different things in my life, so I hope you all enjoy this short poem I’ve written. Hearing is the act of perceiving sounds yet why do we not listen? A few of us will learn to by listening, but we don’t see the vision. If we can’t see our vision, then we may perish. Things unheard yet seen are deep within our souls and hearts. Only God can tear them apart. We should write the vision and make it plain. The poem is short, but I would like everyone to understand t...
Sometimes, a blessed place can look and feel a lot like a cursed place. When neglect, disorganization, disunity, discord, violence and poverty takes over an area, it begins to look desolate. Monroe, Louisiana is at that place and has been for a long time. It’s been over twenty years that Monroe has suffered neglect in certain communities. Monroe's minority districts have experienced little to no change. How long is too long? How much is too much? The current administration was welcomed in, h...

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Lust is one powerful spirit, and it is NOT to be played with. Solomon (as wise as he was), built a great house dedicated to God. After lust reigned over him, he built the houses of every false god, of every woman he dealt with. Lust will have you going from building to honor God, to building to honor nothing (idols), while tearing YOU...

It’s been a long, challenging time for citizens in Districts 4 and 5. Monroe has suffered economically and negatively statistical wise, for years. Nobody though, has suffered more neglect and economic depravity, than the minority districts. This was even with a former administration. Think about Monroe’s leadership for years. The minority districts have been suffering for so long. It’s time out for it! This blame cannot be laid upon the leadership either. Now, if they drop the ball, during their...

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee……. We have heard the saying, “Ignorance is bliss”. Well, what is ignorance? What is bliss? Ignorance is simply a lack of knowledge or information/not knowing. Bliss is perfect happiness/great joy. Now let’s consider this carefully. This statement is saying that having a lack of knowledge about things, is a cause to be happy, but the Word of God tells us that people perish fr...

When tragedy struck the Black community in Buffalo, NY on May 14, 2022 it served as a harsh reminder of the intense hatred that still exists in this country. That hatred is fueled by racism and radical hate groups who encourage attacks on Black communities. The attackers carry out their heinous attacks in places where people are most vulnerable. Before the May 14 attack at a grocery store, another attacker targeted a Bible Study group at a Black church. What makes matters worse is that most cold-blooded killers who strike minority communities...

In life, it is often very easy to lose our purpose or forget why our path is different from others. We’re all unique and we were all created differently but from the beginning of time, we’ve all always tried to follow the path of others. Is it fear? Is it anxiety? Who really knows but what I can tell you is that we all have our own path. Think of it as you driving on a divided highway; two directions of traffic yet they’re both on the same road. Your drive is going fine until you see a detou...
