Current Events as I go into 2011

The flesh is a monster of evil intentions and I understand that it could and often has easily carried me away in lust.  I am seeking to walk in the strength God has afforded us, and have grown in this area much, but still there is work to be done.  God's work and I need this vessel a clean as possible for the task.  How often do I look at the lives of those who have passed on IN FAITH and wonder..."what the heck am I doing?"  I am slapped with the fact that I have so much to learn, in proverbs this revelation is noted to the wise.  That is the prayer I've prayed so many times and God has be faithful to help a brotha out despite my shortfalls.

I know there is more to this abundant life and I aim to work it out in faith.  In Hebrews 12 it says "Therefor seeing we also are compassed with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross...." 

So I press on.  I am working on a fiction series and slowly easing back into my poetry to eventually move into spoken word, getting this blog together and getting a business off the ground.  Lots to do!  I hope you will pray for me as I discipline myself for the task ahead and I ask that you too seek the Lord for guidance toward the race that is set before you as well.  I believe there is a lot left of the table for us to do, and we are lacking the faith to do it.  We have forever, but we don't have forever work.

NET WORK TO NET WORTH PT 1

It has been said that you are the sum of your closest five friends.  Long before that...."birds of a feather flock together."  From Finances(how to use), to Occupation(think more Vocation), to Understanding(wisdom with knowledge), to Relationships(the treatment of others); it seems the people we have the strongest camaraderie with, tell a tale of our Character.  How many have done "dirt all by their lonely" in the treach-erous shadows?  How few have done what seems great all alone?  Even the loner has a distant mentor who's footsteps, philosophy, or mannerisms have molded their "swagger." (Forgive the use of such a word) Not all are leaders, most are followers and we tend to follow those closest to us.

The bible says that bad company corrupts good morals.  You ever think of why that is?  If two are in company with one another, it would be safe to say that both are either equals or un-equals.  Same with larger groups.  So why doesn't the saying go...good company builds good morals?  SELAH.

Simply put, who is good but God? Yet Iron does Sharpen Iron and community is a big part of life and is essential for growth in many ways.

Often we seek the acceptance of people rather than God (PEER PRESSURE), rather than the acceptance of the Almighty (SUPERIOR PRESSURE). THIS IS THE TRUE DIFFERENCE OF MAN'S RELIGION AND TRUE RELIGION/SPIRITUALITY.
 

I begin on the day I began (albeit a few hours later...I was born around 12 noon) hoping to connect various people in a community for growth that will spread to their families and friends. FEEL FREE TO SHARE!
