Excerpts

LIVE LIFE

When life throws you a curve ball And situations get you down, When past mistakes attempt to haunt you Although repentance and forgiveness have been found,

And if it seems like tomorrow will never get better Based on what appears obvious today, When thunderous storms continue to exist Prohibiting the sun from casting light your way, Know that…

Oh, all the free time that you Thought you had on your hands All the adventures and pleasures This was not the way you predicted it would end…

A Real Man

A Real Man, Is that you?
Well, let me spit some knowledge To see if it is true.
My brother, you were uniquely designed in the Image of God.
From the beginning, your distinct features, Your three-fold being established you with Preeminence and dominion,
While God left you tending the garden to And keep you occupied.
So what is a Real Man?
He’s one who…
