Mastering A Moment

As we enter the new season. A new set of rules are laid out. What are resolutions but new moments? How do you master a moment that produces fruit? The success of a moment isn't within the moment but the collection of all moments made into one journey. momentmoment

The Mockers Storm

The most recent acts in North Korea are no different that what's allowed to play out in modern way and day of America. The decision to bully a movie company to close down its thoughts to release a movie shouldn't come as a shock. In every work place there stands the accepted bully. Nobody stands in their way. Being held accountable for being a bully and or verbal abuser is protected by the keepers gate key. I stand back and wonder why we judge another nations practices when we are doing the same. Until there is change on this divided highway. The journey toward a more peaceful tomorrow is a silent poets thoughts and not actions.

Deer Thief

I'm not sure why God created man's desire to kill animals. I grasp the concept of survival. Why then does man think he wins when the sport of killing becomes his passion? And none of it rests in the hands of survival but rather ego? I cannot ask God to strike out. I cannot use verbal accusations to create bigger wars. I ask why does man think he is greater than? When the end result of all things living isn't death...but rather peace.

Display The Right To Write

've been a writer my entire life. The addiction first slipped onto my path as far back as the second grade. I always knew I was going to write books, poetry, music and radio commercials. What I didn't prepare for was the judgement. The endless amount of guilt laid upon the prints belonging to the Poet. A signal should have sounded off somewhere. Like when the refrigerator door is left open. But like everything else in life. We all ignore the sounds of silence.

The Birth Of An Artist

I have been held in captivity my entire life. My only way out is creativity. No matter the shape of the canvas or the scent of the music. The locked up soul holds no key to the closed off world. Only that being a creative person means a lifetime of imprisonment.

Trusting The Way

Growing in success isn't a guarantee. Being the best is more than breaking records and collecting trophies. The patches of victory we post on Face Book and Twitter are beautiful to stare at. But what if the true gift is supposed to be unspeakable?

The Faith App

Where does Faith come from? Is it an object? Is it a method of thinking more than presenting. I see Faith as being an App that God puts into your system at birth. If its already there then where does it go? Does it disappear? Why is Faith so easily lost?

The Street J In Human Clothes

Was Shakespeare one of the writers of the Bible? Can you turn away from what you believe to be true or do you have to read it first on the internet? Type any verse into Google and a billion different versions appear. Why then aren't preachers and teachers telling their congregations that what they're sharing is an unauthorized look at the big book?

Washing Your Lost Dreams

It's too easy to not to forget. What would happen if we forgive? A simple jaunt through Google lands me on the steps of a Bible verse. The moment influences me to write.

Conversation Not Evaluation

I cherish the moments when I get to sit down and have open conversations with preachers and ministers. I was born to ask questions. Not to change or challenge. But to help smooth out the darkness after midnight's glow removes its mystic from the painting. I don't chase but rather embrace. What would happen if the man inside the control room called me and said, "We can give you six minutes to talk with God." What would your reaction be?

Daring To Be Wide Open

Just because I've been in radio for 35 years doesn't mean I know the lyrics of the songs. More importantly... I have no clue as to what they are singing about unless a book has shared it with me. What about the lyrics of the biggest book? How are you expected to know how to live a life of peace if you're ignoring Gods greatest gift: Experience....

God Doesn't Have A Pointy Head

The most difficult task while multi-tasking is understanding other peoples points. Especially if it includes directions! What keeps us from reaching a point? How did we get to this point? GPS and Google have made us lazy in the art of locating a destination. It's weird being lost. But where are you lost? On a highway of choices?

Who Is Stealing Your Fruit

Being a true leader begins with leading yourself. How you lead people must begin with how you wake up and meet the demands of having to take a shower and brush your teeth. Building a team spirit at work shouldn't be about offering fun and prizes. It's one winner and 99 thousand losers. To create a team requires people. To honor only the top dog is bad business.

Joel Olsteen Is Johnny Appleseed

I've never been a fan of Sunday nights. It's been my most fear filled night of all seven nights delivered. All things connected to my worst of times have roots reaching toward Sunday nights. So I've learned to peacefully put myself in places that may or might... offer something positive rather than negative to hold.

The Visiting Spider's Message Of Love

We've read the billion plus two stories of how rock stars and writers of books take their dreams and turn them into huge success stories. Satisfaction from the Rolling Stones came to Keith Richards by way of a dream. Michael Jackson always kept a tape recorder by his bed. My book Conversation With The Devil first entered my heart through a dream. Do you document your dreams or are you afraid of what they might be saying?

Speak To My Heart God

What happens when God doesn't give you instant answers? What happens if Google proves to be the faster method of digitally downloading answers? I spent three days tightly wrapped around an assumption. Was I in the wrong? Or was God waiting to see how I would react by way of lessons?
