Don't Give Up
Verse1:]
I've had some good daysI've had some hills to climbI've had some weary daysAnd some sleepless nightsBut when I look aroundAnd I think things overAll of my good daysOut-weigh my bad daysI won't complain
[Verse2:]
Sometimes the clouds are lowI can hardly see the roadI ask a question, LordLord, why so much pain?But he knows what's best for meAlthough my weary eyesThey can't seeSo I'll just say thank you LordI won't complain
[Chorus:]
The Lord Has been so good to meHe's been good to meMore than this old world or you could ever beHe's been so good, To meHe dried all of my tears awayTurned my midnights into daySo I'll just say thank you Lord
[Adlib:]
I've been lied onBut thank you LordI've been talked aboutBut thank you LordI've been misunderstoodBut thank you LordYou might be sickBody reeking with painBut thank you LordThe bills are dueDon't know where the money coming fromBut thank you LordThank you LordThank you Lord[Chorus:]I want to thank GodHas been so good to meHe's been good to meMore than this old world or you could ever beHe's been so good

wHAT Happen tO hIp hOP
Any way to my next subject lets talk about monkey see monkey do monkey get a whipping too.
So I am listening to this CD that a friend of my mine told me to listen to. It’s not gospel but it’s not rap it’s just music. As I listened to the CD I felt if some one had diarrhea of the mouth it seemed as if the psalmist or rapper was just saying what ever came to mind.
In my person opinion it was neither lyrics intelligence nor any thoughts taken to make the CD.
I spoke with my friend and she said the dude is talented and mad smart I was fighting everything in my power not to tell her what I really thought. She was telling me how the dude was a bum and how he made it and I’m thinking he did not make it, he just escaped the reality.
My personal opinion is to make it is to learn and then teach. To make it is to be informed and act. To make it is to decide that your life will not be the same. To make it is not to forget where you came from but know when it’s ok to leave what you came from. To make is the ability not to give more of the same.
Through out the young mans CD he talked about him self and talked about music, crying what happen to music, saying he do not care about the money but he cares about the music, he cared about getting back to the basics.
Well back to the basics is writing songs with meaning, back to the basics do not include filler words to take up line space just so it can look like a real album. When music was first created it was intended to calm the spirits. The task of music was to send a message that of peace, that of love and that of joy. Music then evolved and then told stories, stories of defeat those of heroics, and triumph. Music spoke of prophetic structure of hope for the future, depicted a journey that one had taken. I am tired of writing of I am tired of thinking about it because I am getting upset about something that I am not in but for you who read this pass it along. These young boys did not Kill Hip hop older guy Killed Hip Hop along time ago. Hip hop was killed when the message was lost. Hip hop ended when rappers thought it was more important to brag about their money and cars, and degrade females by calling them female dogs, We lost hip hop when we gave up on the movement and lost sight of the promise land. We gave up on Hip hop when we as listeners supported and and allowed it . We gave up on our selves we gave up on reality

wHY i AM mAN
So I have been receiving request to know why I am man, and what exactly does that means. I am Man is a term or phrase that I picked up off a radio station one Sunday on my lunch break.
The men on the radio called in with every excuse of why they could continue to act and do with out being held accountable and one of the listeners called in and rebuttal for every objection was I am Man I am not God. Only one is holly.
I took that and it stuck with me. I am Man and why continue to make excuses of why we can’t hold our selves accountable why can’t we be responsible for our actions. I took I am Man as a statement to say the Lord God has given us all free will and it’s up to us to determine will we make excuses or learn and make better decisions.

Just a nother Cold Day in VA
So it's about 9:01 am 6:01 for those on the west coast and I am sitting in side of the dealership, where I purchased my car. I am here to get an Oil Change for my father's truck. How ever by the looks of things it does not look as if he will be getting that oil change today. I have to be to work by 12:15 for my 12:30 shift, and the shop is talking about not having the car ready till maybe 12:00. I honestly do not think that will work.
I am trying to insure I am to work on time. You know how that goes when you are always trying to do things for every one. Over the last couple of weeks I have been making a horrible impression on my new store. I have been late at least twice a week. The sad part about that is that my store is only ten minutes away from my home. It's all well I have to buckle up and do what it do.
That brings me to my Blog topic of today. How to be a leader while yet f0llowing. Briefly in my last Blog I spoke on being successful and what constitutes as success. In life at some point and time we are all asked and (or) placed in a leadership role. It can be for any number of reasons weather to watch our little sister or cousin, asked to watch the class while the teacher steps out . Or it could just be some task at work or any recreational activities that we have been placed in charge of.
As a christian I take being a leader very seriously. I understand that it's not a title that makes me a leader but it is merely the confession of my faith that puts me in a position of leadership. By saying I am a christian by going to church and or singing my gospel albums I invite on lookers to view my life as an example.
I find it amusing when I hear people say they do not like going to church because of hypocrites because nine times out of ten the church members are doing the same thing as they are. I think to my self well if that is the case then what's the big deal we all in the same boat.
The truth is we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God Romans 3:23-24
but the good news is we are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. In order for it to to make sense we must understand at one point and time we are sinners that need to be redeemed, and that is where the Lord Jesus Christ comes in.
I John 1:8 tells us If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
So that being said 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
So you see we are all leaders weather it is by working on our personal life or by encouraging others simply by reminding one another of Gods word.
Being a saved or being a leader is not a poof on the spot thing. It's a constant job that can never be fully taut but must be fully learned.
A relationship with Christ or with life is not determined but others but it's determined by you.
So how do you be a leader why yet following? Well first you must learn how to accept responsibility for your own actions. You must then find out what does your name mean to you, set your own limits and borders. You must decided that no matter what life holds in its hands you are going to do you. You must have tenacity a drive that pushes you in the right directions. But most importantly in so uncertain terms will you allow others failures to be your flaws.

Last one There is a rotten egg Success
What is success, who is success and how do you reach it. As I prepare to go in to work I sit and look around and think of all the things I would rather be doing
I think of staying in bed I think of just going shopping and I think about just watching TV all day long. I think about what if I statements. What if I was rich,
What if I was successful, what if? But as I continue to think and type I realize I am success, and you are success. In this day in age it takes a lot to survive. It does not matter if you are the bum
On the street or the guy behind Microsoft if you have made it this far you are successful. Now grant it, you may not be at the success you want I mean who ever reaches their exact goal but in truth you are already successful. With the economy and things you could have taken a easy way out. You could have OD on some peels you could have walked out in traffic or just put a gun to your head. But there is something that made you say let go. You have that survival instinct that will not allow you to quit. Because of that you are Successful. I tip my hat to you my friend and tell you keep pressing on towards the mark. You do not have to be known around the world or publicized on TV or have your picture on who’s who or be endorsed by Nike or Rebook because you have made it this far without them. Right about now anything else is just plain luxury . To my ladies all my single ladies I said all my single ladies my I am applauding you right now, not because you do not have a man but because you are confident enough to know a man those not make you. You do not have to lay down on your back or be little yourself to obtain worth. The book of proverbs 31:10 tells us the traits of a virtuous women and nowhere in that passage do I see anything about her being on her back but it talk about her hands. It tells us about her quality and things she bring to the table don’t just take my word for it check it out for yourself. For my single ladies with babies, it is still good you have made it this far. You are success I cannot tell you I can raise a child by myself and there are a lot of people that have given up and have given in to drugs, alcohol peels and just plain given up but you have stuck in there keep your head up you are success. LoL I know I got some single dads out there and believe me you got some good ones. But the word of God sass that a good name is hard to come by so we must continue to prove ourselves fellas we must get on the band wagon with these ladies and continue to evolve I am not bashing any men or anything I am just saying there is still work to do. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice every where all though you may not have a baby momma or have any children. You may not be playing the feel and talking to five or six different girls you still got a job to do. If you have friends that have children and they not doing their job you must tell them step up or step out. You may not be doing the crime but you can very well up doing the time. Association is an inclusive but yet exclusive crime to pay for . Well I got to go talk to you all soon. May the Lord of Hosts continue to watch you. May he lead you and guide you. May he continue to blessed you all the days of our lives. Amen

Who is responsible?
Good morning all, I should be sleep but I just got off the phone. I was speaking with a friend of mine and we was talking about her expectations with in the next couple of months. I told her she need to make sure she get that child support situated, but she told me she does not believe in it. I want to know who is responsible, alto of young ladies now are more independent and not relying on the government to govern their baby daddy. Allot of young ladies feel that if the man do not want to take care of their children then so be it. But I wan to know who then is responsible?Why is it that the men are no longer held responsible for their seeds, It was never intended for females to bare the pain alone do not know believe God wanted us to spread the joy and run. In Hebrew days a man was allotted how ever many wives he could afford not how ever women he could hit and quit.Why have our culture change so dramatically that its now OK if a man leaves. and society is use to it. I know I am a man but I need to know. All my life I have tried to make sure I did not offend any one, or belittle my morals, So I just need some help whats really good leave me a note send me a email write me a poem. Give me a call do something cause I am confused
