As I reflect on this year the lows and the highs I find myself feeling thankful and grateful for coming through a rough 18 months. During that time I experienced health challenges, job losses, disappointments, and lost several family members. If my life were a photo you'd see the scars left by the battlefield of life. Yet my will to succeed, continue and be victorious is strong. Nothing will get me down, nothing will stop my flow. I am victorious, I'm a winner, I got this! On New Year's Eve I always take a moment to thank God for keeping me, for blessing me through my storms. In February of this year I was blessed with a job after being off work for 6 months.  That job didn't pay very much but it paid more than the unemployment check I was receiving and for that I was thankful. While at that low paying job I learned sales skills that have sharpened my presentation so that I can close more business. Lesson learned: sometimes you have to start at the beginning...

During the Age of Reasoning man woke up from some kind of trans-metamorphic trance and gave credit to thought, intelligence, and things more tangible and less spiritual. Man’s perspective changed. Thus The Great Awakening showed that Man had wandered into a great sleep; an era where slavery, less care and concern about their fellow man, and a pure denouncement of God. Man began thinking ‘it doesn’t take all that’ for religion to be relevant in your life. That if you did right, took care of your family, increased your position in the community and went to church on Sunday, you were good in God’s eye. No emotion, no redemption, no salvation. Just a native realization of religion and God. But how can you worship God without thanking him for bringing you through your tough times? How can you acknowledge Him without feeling something? An awakening must occur in us as people when we realize God is real, that your health, that cancer that went away; your child not dying when the doct...

Yesterday was my birthday and for the first time, I liked/loved or commented to everyone who took the time to wish me happy birthday. That was a lot. It was well over 400 people! Most of the people were folks I know in Detroit, back home. While thanking people I noticed 4 people who are now my Facebook friends once bullied me as a child. They bullied me because I was dark skinned; bullied me because my grandmother pressed my hair too straight; bullied me because I was smart and wouldn't play with them on the playground. You name it. I'm sure they felt bullying me was no big deal and they had their reasons for not liking me. For the first time in a long time, I remembered what it felt like to be scared to walk home from school because my bullies might catch me and make me run home to safety. Or that thiey might be waiting for me in an alley I had to pass to get home. I'm 57 now, and that was a long long time ago. Just imagine a child today being bullied. They live in fear ...

It's so easy to become discouraged in life. Especially when you've have done everything to fix problems in your life but they still remain broken. Perspective, how you look at things, no matter how bleak, can change the outcome of your situations. For instance, money is low, rent, car note, light bill, need to be paid. But you only have enough money to pay 1 or 2 of them. You're not making enough money on your job so you're always coming up short. Discouragement and disappointment set in, and all of a sudden we find ourselves worrying uncontrollably. That's never good. I try to walk as close as possible to Jesus as I can. This morning I was talking to God, trying to get some wisdom and understanding to my situation. I've been out of work since October, and my job search hadn't yielded anything. I had even begun applying for jobs in Florida! Everyday I applied for 5-10 different sales jobs and nothing, just plain ole crickets! Now last week I interviewed at...
