Publish Your Occupation

Image
Good afternoon and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we are still in The Year of the wind based on Exodus 14:21 and Acts 2:2 I am in transition as Publish In January based on Psalms 26:7 and Luke 8:39 is about to come to a close. I want to explain to those who do not know me what I do, or what my occupation is. My occupation that brings me income and pays my bills is a doorman at a residential building. Although the picture I have on this blog shows me in a chef's outfit I am not a chef ( but I play one on tv, LOL. I love that commercial ) do modeling at times for a agency that deals with food. I am a son, a sibling, a father, a grandfather, a nephew, a cousin, a uncle, and friend to many. I am currently helping out with Rhema Word 2.0 ( Valley Kingdom Ministries International Sunday School )  in reaching the masses through technology. These things just looking at me you would not know. People of faith, it is time

Did I Do That?

Good morning and Happy Friday. As I wake up this I think back to last year when I was sitting at home and not working with so much time on my hand. I would be looking for jobs on my computers but also was addicted to a game called Hearts ( I know I am not the only way who has been addicted to computer games ). Although I was also writing papers for my Teacher's Training Assignment I felt like I could be doing more. I was thinking about how hard it could be to write a book. I had a premise in my mind but actually writing it would be hard. I had to come up with the characters names, I had to come up with a setting and I had to come up with plots that would seem plausible. As I started writing as what happens to most writers I got writers block and then I started getting time constraints. Even though I did not seek God to give me guidance about writing the book in the first place, he still came and blessed me and allowed me the time and knowledge to actually finished. Although I S

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Publish in January based on Psalm 26:7 and Luke 8:39.  I was on Facebook on this weekend and I happened to read a post. I  had previously had another title that I was going with but when I read the post is was like God inspired me to not only share her post and change the title of this blog. I haven't worked since Dec. 14, 2007!!! Times haven't been all strawberries and cream!! My health has failed me...family members have walked away or transitioned home...friendships have come and gone...finances have been all over the place...husband has acted crazy sometimes (so have I)...been lied to...been lied on...possessions have come and gone...been hurt and disappointed my those I love most...BUT GOD STILL GETS THE GLORY!!! Demetria Brand Triplett posted this on Facebook on Saturday and it touched many, including myself who read it. So I am going to Publish My Still.

I Really Don't Need You

Good morning and Happy Friday. As we continue to Publish in January based on Psalm 26:7 and Luke 8:39 I wanted to publish a situation that happened to me. I was in a relationship with this woman for over 12 years. I was dependent on her for housing, food and if I needed money she was there. This woman, TP, was dependent on me for doing things like cooking, washing her clothes and getting things from the store. We were getting along  very well as I worked two jobs, our rent was subsidized and our bills were low. I could go and come as I pleased and when she did leave the house she was either with her sister or at the club which I had no problem with. I would often tell people that even though TP was lazy, did not work or did not even drive that would stay with her because she had my back. I thought the things I was doing for her could not or no one else would want to do them. So one day when we had an argument she told me that she really didn't need me. I left and knew that she wo

Good morning and Happy Sunday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. The theme is Publish in January based on Psalm 26:7 and Like 8:39. As I have mentioned many times before I have written a book called I Slept With the Choir. When I finished the book I wanted to find a publisher. I talked to a fellow author, Ms. Caroline Washington and she told me about this company that I chose to have my book published by. When I gave them permission to print my book I did not follow Ms. Washington's advice on getting the proper materials, taken the proper action or promoting my book therefore my book is not selling well. I also when I wrote my book did so on my won. Although my book has my main character eventually coming back to Christ, I did not actually get on my hands and knees, fast, or seek counsel from people on what my book should be about. I wrote a book at the time that I wanted to do to get my name out there. I actually Self Published.

GM and Happy Friday. As we continue in the Year of the Wind based on Exodus 14:21 and Acts 2:2 and the month of Publish in January based on Psalm 26:7 and Luke 8:39 I am want to go back to a time when I used to enjoy this sandwich. This sandwich to me was so good because it provided me with two things I loved at the time, Italian beef and Italian sausage. In Chicago we call it a combo ( combination of beef and sausage ). I would have the preparer dip it in the beef sauce ( dipped it what I would tell them to do ) add my sweet or hot peppers and cheese and get my eat on. Of course most of the times I ate this I had just had a combo of weed and drink. Or maybe I had just had a combo of sex and lies. Or maybe I had a combo of peanut butter and chocolate ( Hmm. maybe I could put those together and make a product that could sell. Naw it would work ). As I fast forward to today I had a theme for every month of a Champion as well as my church Valley Kingdom Ministries International. But my

Good morning and Happy Monday all. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited.  As we continue in the Year Of the Wind based on Exodus 14:21 and Acts 2:2-4. I want to look back at something last year that taught me something. All of my life I wanted to write a book. It did not matter what the topic was I wanted to write a book. The subject could have been poetry, or encouragement or even scandal. I believe that once I sit down to write the thoughts just flow. I actually wrote a book called I Slept With the Choir. When the book was finished I wanted to figure out the next move I wanted to do. It could have just sat on my computer and no one would have ever read it or even knew I wrote a book. I decided to find a publisher so I could get my name out there in case I wanted to do poetry, or encouragement books in the future. I thought of this when I was looking for a theme of the month. If we know how good God has been to us over the many yea

Year of The Wind

GM and Happy New Year all. Brand New Year. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we start out the year 2013 we transition from the year 2012. 2012 was the year of This is Our/Your Year and we did things to celebrate our accomplishments. But this year is a year of change. This year we need to have something to divide things so we can travel through to the other side. We need to have a control  as the gift we are given may have to be calmed. We also have something that when it comes rushing in it takes over the whole area and changes the atmosphere. So I asked God what would be something that I could share with the people in America but also my readers in Russia, Brazil, Ukraine, Canada, the U.K.. Denmark and Germany. What can the people have to know that God is still present, that Jesus is died for our sins and rose again, and that the Holy Spirit is within all of us in matter where you stay. So this year as we become like the wind. This is the Year of
