Full circle reunion after recluse bite.

When I was told I couldn't take a teenager to the hospital for liability reasons, I looked at the Pastor with question and left the church with the girl as my responsibility.  I had to get over the shock of protocol that usurped "healing" to be made possible, even if it was through the hands …

Savannah and its fall of Scott Waldrup

It is gut wrenching to know that gang life is on the rise on such a small populated city where hospitality is the major source for jobs.  We lost one of our own, Scott Waldrup who was 30 years old, to a violent crime of gang initiation in downtown Savannah.  With all the hype being …

“TAMMY” & Blowing up some fireworks

Sarcasm has become my coping strategy here in the South as I have tried to make sense of the Bible Belt having the highest rate of addiction that I have ever witnessed. I'm wondering if Northern states just don't have the cray cray of homeless addicts that the low country does, simply because it is …

Lack thereof parenting

Parenting is at all time low these days with numerous numbers complaining about the behavior of their wayward children. That is always the first sign that they are the problem as a role model. A child only mimics and repeats what he hears and takes in through his senses while in the presence of authority …

Are we the Walking Dead?

Prophecy abounds today through social media and the news without anybody thinking twice about it's validity.  I watch movies from a spiritual standpoint and cannot help getting over-zealous about all the messages warning people of the coming times.  In the 80's we had numerous movies shoot footage of the twin towers being destroyed and now …

Dumbfounded

How is it that the most remedial writing, the least profound statement or sentence, gets a hundred likes on social media? It insults my intelligence, seriously.  The minute anything real or deep is posted, the masses suddenly fall off the bandwagon. I'm told to go to writers conferences or get a degree in journalism just …

I’m leaking

Draw a line down the paper and write from the younger side on the left with the Left hand. Being left behind. Being insignificant. I don't have what it takes to compete so I give up. I'm not ok, I'm leaking.  Visit the inner child. On the right side of the paper write from your …

I want to ask.

"Don't ask why, just do it", is hardly a way to lead others. People under the burden of the "just do it" crazymaker aren't free to ask why. Asking questions is considered rebellious, defiant, and insubordinate. Obedience, they feel, should be automatic and unquestioned. Yet to forbid questions greatly discourages the formation of responsibility in …

It takes a village?

I'm not sure how we migrated from two parents wanting to raise a child, to the governmental welfare system doing it?  The original mindset was to offer a shoulder to lean on when child rearing in African villages that honored the institution of family.  In our western civilization, we have turned it into entitlement; leaning …
