Okay, I admit it,

I was wrong too!

Next time though, I promise that I'll choose the reality of it all, over the depth of the relationship. The message, over the messenger, the truth, over any one mans lack of integrity.

And please, sometimes even I need to be reminded that a healthy sheep isn't just good for the sacrifice, for like the body @ large, we all need love and honest shepherding as well..

Augh!!

Tuesday reminds me that there is so much more deception than we're able to consume and deflect, and yet, even in knowing that, we still hide(from) the truth.

Why is that? Are we more afraid of loosing our place in line, than our piece of mind?

Or are we just so beyond caring about reality, that we're willingly leaving a world of inequality and injustice to our children, as if it's a gift they'll cherish?

Not that I'm perfect, far from it.

Nor am I even seeking perfection.

Today, I'll settle for a hug and a little honesty.

For now I know how it feels to be a woman. 
And I don't mean that as anything other than the obvious clue(!).

My Sisters, I apologize!

My brothers, be glad I'm not young enough to come over there..

A new Reality exist:

"Until now, fury at the plutocracy and the political class had found no channel to run in but the antigovernment fantasies of the Tea Party. Now though, it has dug a new channel. Anger does not move countries, but it moves movements — and movements, in turn, can move countries.

To do that, movements need leverage.

Even Archimedes needed a lever and a place to stand to move the world. When Zuccotti Park meets an aroused liberalism, the odd couple may not live happily ever after.

But they can make a serious run at American dreams of “liberty and justice for all.”

Say it loud!

In all that I do, and in most that I think, I'm always attempting to demonstrate that in the absence of unity, there really isn't any true salvation!

Whether its in unity with our Lord, or unity with other believers, and yes, unity with all the Brown Skinned among us!

Imagine the power of the Lord, channeled through the pulpits, and undergirded with the same faith and power we expend on the Super Bowl.

What a wonder that would be! Enough separation, enough selfishness, enough!

Saying it LOUD; I am Black(Brown, Red, Yellow, or Human), and I am Proud...

Awake;

Living then is more than breathing, or acquiring, or protecting even. For living is contained in being present in your own life, and the lives of others, even those that you do not love fully!

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.

Without them, humanity cannot survive.”

Right here, right now, is our life.

Let's embrace it while we live...

Ooh...

Friday dawned like a promise unspoken, and even in the shroud of fog and the day ahead, it feels better somehow today! The troubles are just beginning of course, and with a healthy dose of honesty and introspection, this season will pass, just as the last, and yet, will we be better this time?

Have we learned the lesson(s) from the last fall?

Or are we still too afraid to just seek good and wise counsel?

Questions for sure still too be answered.

But I'm missing my son again, and that can only mean that this hardening for the battle no longer is upon me, for He has now revealed His purposes in all this. All we need do now is act with the courage His Word has revealed! Me, I'm happier today, and I like that more than enough...

‎"Your time is limited,

So don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.

Most important have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. Stay hungry. Stay foolish. I have always wished that for myself.

And now, I wish that for you." - Steven P. Jobs

What work are you doing?

In the absence of a clear reality, we not only hurt ourselves, but we can devastate those who are counting on us, to lead them through! In this, I think I hear that verse:

2 Tim 2:20 "In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work."

"In a sky full of people, only some want to fly, isn't that crazy?"
