Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today we celebrate one of the worlds greatest leaders; yet still a man, list of accomplishments and worldly imprint just Godly; yet still a man, I say this to say to my brothers and sisters do not look at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a GOD who accomplished things no mortal could or should attempt; yet view him as a man who dared to dream, and act on that dream. During a time when nothing was given, but everything taken he stood stern in the forefront of his dream, so our dreams would be easier to obtain.  Ironically enough, we have developed this false sense of entitilment, in a time where much is given, and very little taken we have watched our dreams fade.  This fade is not of anyone's doing other than our owns.  We have began to expect less and demand less for and from our people, that's just pathetic.  It's smoothers the flame that burns from the efforts of so many before us ie The Great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr......A man who accomplishments by 30 far trumps any present day leader you may name.  At 34, delivered one of if not the most powerful speeches this world has ever known.  This was done on effort and faith, this was done on couraage and responsibility, this was done fortitude and manhood, this was done for you and me.  Now look at yourself and those around you and honestly evaluate what you are doing.  We can no longer say he/she is only this age.  We can no longer make excuses for the lazy, We can't wait for the meek to inherit.  We must act now to rescue this beautiful dream and end this self created nightmare
I love my people
I love all people
Let's get it together

Message to the Flock

I am having a serious intellectual moment this morning, and I must choose my words carefully to express my point without disrespecting anyone's faith.  I am a faithful believer in a higher power, but not by any name other than Almighty, not by any particular form of worship other than a personal relationship...I can't sit here and Damn someone for their choice in worship, when at the end of the day we are traveling seperate paths, to the same eternal bliss.  My statement to the flock, Forgiveness doesn't have to be the only way to faith.  So many people find "Religion"...after a tragedy, or hitting rock bottom we like to say.  We begin to search for acceptance, redemption by shedding our past and draping ourselves in this new holy glow.  Defining ourselves through the visions of the clergy, and parishioners....Ok now pay attention, true change and true redemption only comes after you gain knowledge of self...in order to properly apply religion; Koran, Biblical instruction...to your everyday life you must understand that life.  These publications are words, these sermons are words, yet when applied to life with the proper understanding of that life it becomes Religious...you can't be pastor, deacon, father, prophet..etc..you are you,

I love my GOD...I love myself..and I Love you all.....Peace
