The Inverse Of The Law Of Return...

An unfulfilled life is a life that gives nothing in return for the gift of its existence.

Who's In...

People invite you into their life based on who they are, not based on who you are. Actually, they don't know who you are and may never know who you are. Getting to know someone takes patience, time, and understanding. Getting to know yourself takes patience, time, and understanding.

Do you know who you are? Do you know why you have invited the people who are in your life, into your life?

Remember, the people in your life are more of a reflection of who you are than who they are.

Decisions... Decisions...

The best thing you can do for your son is to teach him to make a "good" (wise) decision. Part of doing this is making the choice and sticking with it, seeing it through to completion/fruition.

The worst thing you can do to a man (one of the worst things you can do to a man is to decide for him, without consulting him. You run the risk of losing whatever connection, real or imagined, that you have with him.

I haven't posted in quite some time... Not that my life has been uneventful...
Perhaps one day, I will learn to process the goings on in my life a little faster.

Anyone who knows me intimately, as it pertains to the creative side of music, knows that I have long been a fan of both Sting and Stevie Wonder... Especially as both tend to write some of the most interesting music, both lyrically and melodically.

And while this song has proven to be one of the most thematically, in terms of lyrics...
It remains one of my favorites.

Stevie does this song no small justice.

What Moves You?

I was chatting, via gmail, with a friend who I respect and appreciate. She made a statement on one of her social network profiles that said something like, "I want LOVE to come first".

I thought it was a curious statement to make, so I IM'd her for some clarification.

My paraphrase of her response goes something like this, "Love should be the thing that moves you to action, and if this is the case in all things, then you are on the right track" to living a positive life.

It seems some many things (greed, power, pursuit of pleasure) move/motivates people to take action these days...

What moves you?

Man, I Appreciate You...

Today, I will take a moment to express my appreciation for the men God has placed in my life, throughout my life, to provide an example of leadership and manhood. Whether they have been more father-like or brother-like, they have helped and continue to help me, personally, grow and live, live up to the gifts and blessings that have been given to me.


For words of wisdom, encouragement, and admonition. For spiritual leadership, and prayers, and sermons. For allowing me to see, on a personal level, in your words and actions, what it means to be a man.
May our Creator and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, bless you in accordance with His mercy and Grace, to the glory of God the Father. Thanks be to HIM, who is the Father of us all
