STOP BLAMING OBAMA

Blame it on Obama. The narrative which continues to divide our community.

A lot of people, ministers, and friends have been in my inbox with their outcry about Sharia Law.

It’s America’s laws that are…

  1. Cutting healthcare
  2. Slicing DEI programs
  3. Refusing to promote qualified Blacks in the military.
  4. Redistricting to strip representation
  5. Writing policies that limit college loans
  6. Slicing social security
  7. Putting service members in harm’s way for ego
  8. Stopped cyber defense against Russia by transferring it to a less offensive department
  9. Singing the praises of North Korea and cutting training operations with a 50+ year ally
  10. Celebrated a submarine attack on an unarmed Iranian warship that was training with India.
  11. Banning books that teach the true history of our beloved country, good, bad, ugly, and beautiful.
  12. Continue to refuse veterans proper services or put in the effort necessary for the VA to build a more secure platform after two major cybersecurity breaches spanning 20 years.

This list could go on and on.

I find it strange how easy it is to criticize other beliefs, and I am speaking from the lens of an ordained Christian minister. I spend my time teaching the Word and sharing the Gospel with a lens of my relationship with Yeshua. I have never seen more anti-Christian behavior from a nation of “Christians” than I have in this age.

We have perfected judging, not loving. And I can’t say there are times when I don’t fall into this category.

What we are witnessing today is about nationalism, not Christianity. We kick out strangers, we kill strangers, we protect pedophiles, we prosper the rich, and we blame the poor for their own conditions. Many don’t realize that we are a cancer away, or a diagnosis away from poverty.

Sharia Law is controversial in a Western society, and maybe it should be. However, as long as Americans are suffering greatly under a demagogue, it would appear that Sharia law isn’t being implemented by Muslims, but by the Republican Party under a godless administration, operating fully with the large support of Christian Pastors.

Without love….. we are nothing!

A Moment of Transparency

My relationship with my mom is complicated, intricate, and I still show up when I am able. I don’t spend a lot of time talking about others household because my

Wake Up

Black man, wake up bro I get it. You worked hard. You did you. Became the beast Worked your way …

You Are Enough

I have spoken with several of you who have reached for the same heights in your career. Years of dedicated service, outstanding reviews, and leading with heart, integrity, diligence, and human skills, along with other building blocks of performance leadership were essential to this moment.

Every click arouses sounds, enticing, alluring, hypnotic
Engaging, interactive, my virtual world is heaven making my natural world hell
A sensation, the grabbing, mind pierced,  darkness shining as my light

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

By the time I was seven and my brother was nine, we had been exposed to so much trauma with sex, drugs, violence, and murder, our life was destined for the gutter of repeating the cycle of violence in our adult lives.

It feels like months

Where have I traveled?

A place of mystery and uncertainty

I can’t believe I am here

In this place, at this moment

Thinking, relishing, questioning

My purpose, my call, my existence

Surrounded but alone

Clinging to hope yet untethered

Trapped in the crevices of thought

I’ve traveled here before

It’s uncomfortable, that face, the reflection

Its shadow reaching out to hug me

Whispers of I love you, you have a purpose

You exist for a reason

I don’t embrace it

I turn off the light

Tears run down the mirror

I’ve been here before, it hasn’t been days

It’s been hours

In front of an empty table

Food cold, coffee bland, water lukewarm

Depression says hello
