My twitter friend @SewIntoHem posted this video the other day. She was considering blogging about it, and after watching it, I was too. We decided to tag team it by posting about it on both our blogs. Check out the twitter convo we had below, and her blog at mouthofbabes.wordpress.com.
I looked in the mirror one day thinking, “what do I have to be proud of as a single young man”? There were plenty of obvious answers to me. I’m an African-American male approaching 25 years without a criminal record, baby momma drama; I have a college degree and a salaried job with benefits, and [...]
I know I have written in a while since I made my pivotal move away from NCC, but there are valid reasons…
My last Sunday at National Community Church’s Union Station campus will be early next month, and by God’s grace, it’ll be for the best reason ever: I’ve just grown so much. It’s time for me to find a church closer to home. I need to make myself more available and accessible to the people in [...]
“humble love”. Lately it’s been the theme of sermons I’ve heard, songs I’ve listened to, conversations I’ve had, movies I’ve watched, and things I’ve experienced. It’s not anything new or whatever, but just something usually so rare in my day-to-day that it fascinates me, and for some reason has it direct access to my usually [...]
This weekend has helped me to see some things a little more clearly about myself and about how I perceive reality.

Where am I these days? Stripped down of all my greatest excuses/distractions from learning to lean on God more, and unable to move forward til I do. And I’m thankful. Soberly, and fighting resentment, but thankful. I’m getting….God’s getting me ready for some important stuff, some endeavors that are gonna require me to have more [...]
So this is just me writing. No poeticism or deep thought. My head hurts. But not in a throbbing, go-lay-down, makes-your-eyes-close-involuntarily, kind of way. It’s just this lingering, hardly noticeable, intermittent nuisance. These types of exceptionally dull headaches usually tell me one thing: I’m bottling something up. What exactly? I don’t know. There are actually [...]
That’s the thought/verse excerpt that’s been running through my mind for about a week or so. It comes from John 15:5, I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. It was the first [...]
