Share Versus Offer

Breaking down the words we toss out is a step toward better understanding the truer message we're trying to deliver. Your parents and teachers endlessly told you to share things. That's nothing more than a ticket for taking. The parental design is off base. Children should be taught to offer.

How Do You Prepare For Snakes

I am a People Watcher. It's not fun being silent wolf. To stand back and watch how we're treating each other. How did we get this far? Where are we leading ourselves?

Writing With Your True Accent

I've never said that I am a great writer. Nor have I ever said that my poetry is better than. I can't stop writing because my body won't let me shove it aside. The very moment you begin to think you are winning the war against doing it all on your own. Something out the ordinary falls in front of you. And you have to write about it. But how are you writing? To please other readers? Or do you write with your own accent?

Ghost Writing

I'm a huge fan on being open and honest with everyone I meet. Not everyone believes in that philosophy. Being honest is something we like to hide. We are born to act therefore if you want truth... let me lie first. I totally believe that we are controlling our lives and decisions. Ghosts freak out a lot of people. When in fact our choices in life freak out a lot of ghosts.

Being In Sight Of Insight

Having the ability to trust insight is a destination that constantly changes. When do you trust insight versus someone having you in sight of their camera? Who is the watchful eye? Is it your experience and trust with insight or the lens that has you in sight at every red light or corner of the store?

Paths Are Deserts

Have you ever noticed that a path on a mountain never allows itself to be covered with vegetation or life? Endlessly we are asked to become part of a path. Is that someone's way of saying, "Get back to the desert!" A path seems lonely. Lonely in 2015 doesn't sound like a game based on fun and exploration. What are we doing when we say, "I'm on a journey. Its part of the path. This is the walk that God wants me on." Are we searching for shortcuts through the forest?

What's Your Makeup

We may look like individuals. But is that possible if what we are wearing is yesterday's makeup? The weight of guilt has a way of making less out of a black line. It turns what we do into a color array of acceptance. Until that moment when the makeup begins to chunk off

Share Your Story

I still hold the words of Dr. David, "You are creative. You need to get used to the idea that you will be depressed and angry. Creative people are made this way. The reality is... be aware of who you are. Who you become. Stop judging the swift curves of the road and just listen to the way the energy moves around you."

Be A Seed

Something hit me on Easter Sunday. While thousands poured into the room of study at Elevation Church Blakeney. I was hit with so many questions. The biggest being: If we are told to stop living in our past. Why are we studying the past of others inside the Bible? How can we be creative if we are living on other people's past mistakes, doubts, fears and shame? How can we be faithful of our own growth if the journey is based on the challenges and changes of others? You learn from it. You teach it. You create in forward motion.
