mental stew

i arrived at church at 1140, walked in, heard pastor say they were collecting offering and walked right out.  all the way there i was complaining about the leaders, the issues that i perceive, how they measure up to MOBC and i decided i’m way too late and i don’t want to bring this spirit […]

no no no notorious

so i’m notoriously late. for just about everything. i’d say it’s because i’m apathetic about work, church, and dealing with certain folk. but the shit i want to do, that’s what i’m on time for. catching a plane, a movie, getting to the cleaners before they close…that’s the shit i care about. the rest of […]

the early bird does the work

really? second day of the fundraiser and once again i’m the first to arrive.  me, the one who is never early or on time especially when the arrival time is 730am.  and the captain and co-captain were late on both days.  seriously? monday it was, i’ll be there by 740a. today it was, traffic is […]

full moon

Did you know that the at 630am the moon is still out?  A beautiful full moon. I agreed to pick-up the coffee for this morning’s fundraiser.  I at the office at 7am and no one else was here. I am NEVER early and today I was beyond early.  We were supposed to have things setup […]

whodini

back in the day sleep was my sweet escape.  i would drop off into dream land where everything was settled.  i had the right man, car, clothes, weight, job.  and now, i almost dread going to sleep.  climbing into an empty bed each night is one lonely feeling.  I’m not sure if it’s lonelier to […]

Success in your hands

I’ve been listening to Charles Stanley talk about success, God’s way.  He’s really been stomping around in my life.  I’ve been questioning whether or not management is what I want to do.  Do I believe I’m a leader.  Yes.  Do I want to lead in this crazy environment? No.  I wonder if I believed what […]

The Adventure Begins

July 13, 2011 My Parisian journey has begun!  I had so much anxiety about this trip.  Financial anxiety. I clearly don’t understand exchange rates cuz what I saw online a few days ago was…light bulb moment.  accurate.  1 EUR = 1.4 USD which I mistook to mean losing 40 cents on each dollar. Well. $300 […]

seek HIS truth

I’m watching OWN – Our America with Lisa Ling and here’s what I’m hearing. “I have chosen to live my life through the filter of my faith, rather than the filter of my sexuality.” – what a powerful statement by a leader within Exodus International.  He also said the struggles he has “aren’t any different […]

reflections

“When my mother and father forsake me, the Lord will take care of me” – psalm 27: 10 david knew what he was talking about.  i like that he said “when” not “if” because he knew that to be forsook by one’s own parents was more than a possibility. i realize it too. “A man […]

the truthteller

you said i act like i hate you. since you’ve never been willing to TALK or LISTEN to how i feel, i’ll outline it for very clearly. you’ve criticized me for many years saying that my friends are more important to me than my family.  who stepped up to the plate when YOUR daughter showed […]
