Ted and Oprah

I'm certain people saw Ted and Oprah today. I want your thoughts.

Forbidden Fruit

I had my suspicion when we first met, but I chose to dismiss it.
However, you gave me every sign of a curious church boy.
You gave me confirmation by talking about ex-girlfriends and getting married.
You further confirmed it by calling me at 1 am two days later.
I had become your forbidden fruit.
Everything in your fiber want to resist, but you were drawn away and enticed by your own lust.
A lust that you wish you didn't have.
Lust that would make you jump in your car and drive over here to satisfy it.
Satisfaction it typically what you received.
You like the pleasure, pain, and taste of it.
It makes you moan and say words you typically wouldn't say
After lust has been conceived it kills you with guilt and shame
You shun your lust and thoughts on how it's drawn to me.

Playing~"Not About Us"-Bishop Noel Jones Choir

I recently noticed how much ambition we have when we are trying to find the "one". Heck, someone who is worth dating. We spend so much time, energy, and money making sure we are suitable candidates. We meet someone things don't work out and we start all over again. I begin to evaluate myself and the little amount of time, energy, and money I've been spending with God. I'm definitely not negating how important it is for us to love and be loved in a romantic way. They provide a tangible return relatively quickly and we don't always experience that with our relationship with God. I just find it interesting how more often than not our spiritual side has the tendency to be exercised when it's convenient. Where ever a man invest his time, energy, and money that's where you'll find his heart.....just a thought I've been chewing on.

Spiritual Vitamin

This song is a testimony for me and I'm sure for a few others. I typically don't go into my beliefs on here, but it's such a part of who I am. I don't know why I don't mention it more often, but I really enjoy this song.

exhale....I woke up this morning with the spirit of thanksgiving. I feel so blessed and my faith ensures me things are going to turn around. I hope everyone is feeling empowered today. If not, do something about it!

Moments of praise

Today, I received a letter from someone who is in jail. I read the first page and I was a little touched, but didn't put much thought into it. Before I knew it, I was reflecting on my life and thought "it could have been me". The spirit of thanksgiving came down on me and I thought I would share. My spirituality is somehting I don't share on here often, but is definitely a big part of me. This song came to me while having a moment of praise:
