Full Scholarship – Full Circle

March 19, 2008

My beautiful wife and I are high school sweethearts.  I met her 11 years ago when she was just 15 years old. Like Barack and Michelle, she is my rock!  We got married while we were still in undergrad and started having kids soon thereafter.  Sharing my life with her has been a joy! Completing [...]

Personal Prayer Request

March 19, 2008

Today looks to be a challenging day for me.  Beyond the funny fact that both my mother and mother-in-law are coming to Atlanta today to stay the week with us, I am at a personal crossroads.  This crossroads is requiring that I make a few very big decisions and make them soon.  These decisions involve [...]

Wow! What a courageous speech ?! (Full Video of Obama)

March 18, 2008

Courageous for sure.  This is one of the best, most profound, substantive speeches that I have ever heard in my life.  Barack could have taken a much easier route, but he delivered a very meaty, tough, challenging message that I will never forget.  Watch it for yourself when you can.  If you only have a [...]

Chocolated Glazed Donut

March 18, 2008

We celebrated Kendi’s (my 6 year old daughter) birthday party on this past Friday with a Diva Sleepover, but her actual birthday is today.  We are going to do some small stuff with her to celebrate again.  When we asked her what she wanted – she asked if she could have a chocolate glazed donut [...]

Why Don’t We Know the Pastors of Clinton or McCain?

March 18, 2008

This would not have really even been a relevant question if so much had not been made of Dr. Jeremiah Wright and his role as Barack Obama’s pastor for the past 20 years.  However, now that every sermon and statement of Barack’s pastor is being evaluated and scrutinized, I want to raise a few questions [...]

An Informed (Video) Perspective on Dr. Jeremiah Wright (Obama’s Pastor)

March 18, 2008

When conclusions, assumptions, and arguments are made about a person or point without a truly informed opinion, the ground one stands on to make that point becomes very shaky.  However, as I recall from my past debates (and arguments) on the campus of Morehouse College – one can win a debate just by having an [...]

Sound Byte Jesus: Pharisean Politics, Dr. Jeremiah Wright, and the Race to Destroy Barack Obama

March 17, 2008

If Jesus lived in the YouTube age of Sound Bytes and video snippets created for quick downloading, I have news for you – he would probably be arrested, ridiculed, beaten, and maybe even killed.  Sound familiar?  It happened to Him nearly 2000 years ago and I doubt anything would be different today.  In the days [...]

100 Life Goals – The Beginning

March 16, 2008

I think Mark Batterson’s 100 Life Goals are the bomb!  I was SUPER motivated after reading his life goals and immediately wanted to create a list for myself.  That was about 70 days ago, I have been distracted a few times, but I am going to begin creating my list right now.  I think I [...]

Tornadoes & Force Fields

March 15, 2008

I love living in downtown Atlanta.  It’s cultured.  It’s at the center of everything and is a lot of fun.  I uprooted my family from the suburbs about four years ago and haven’t regretted it…except for the time criminals kicked my door down @ 5pm on a Wednesday with my whole family in the living [...]

Happy Birthday Kendi!

March 14, 2008

I remember when she was born like it was yesterday.  I was so nervous.  I knew nothing about being a dad except for what I read in books and saw on the Cosby Show!  Now, she is 6 years old and has a tooth missing.  My baby girl.  Having her, watching her grow up, protecting [...]
