Clarion Call


I put my 2 week notice in my job today. In a time when everyone is afraid of losing their jobs, Jesus says to voluntarily release mine. He wants me on His payroll & benefits. We are going for the leap together ! My mission? To leave the 99 and go after the 1. I am going after the prodigals and wounded eagles. It's time and He is having His way. I told the Lord I wanted to "Grow Up". I have had several visitations since. The first was 3 weeks ago, in the middle of the night, an angel came in to my room and said, "Are you ready?" I was afraid, but also was surprised to hear myself say "yes". It has been a surreal experience ever since. Yesterday He reminded me what it truly means to "grow old".

John 21:18 I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."

The days of going where I want to go are OVER, I stretch out my hands.. surrender

Tough Mind and Tender Heart by Martin Luther King

SERMON: A Tough Mind And A Tender Heart, by Martin Luther King, Jr. Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (Matthew 10:16) A French philosopher said, “No man is strong unless he bears within his character antitheses strongly marked.” The strong man holds in a living blend strongly marked opposites. Not ordinarily do men achieve this balance of opposites. The idealists are not usually realistic, and the realists are not usually idealistic. The militant are not generally known to be passive, nor the passive to be militant. Seldom are the humble self-assertive, or the self-assertive humble. But life at its best is a creative synthesis of opposites in fruitful harmony. The philosopher Hegel said that truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis that reconciles the two. Jesus recognized the need for blending opposites. He knew that his disciples would face a difficult and hostile world, where they would confront the recalcitrance of...

AS I SEEK

By Cherstin Jagger Mendez I seek within the ebb and flow, In every attempt for my heart to grow. I lean into the winds to see what they say. Hoping it’s secrets, it will give away. How do you live a life to the fullest? How do you push yourself beyond….? The lead weights on my feet telling me I can’t go, Due to my age or life, without much to show. For the potential within me fights every day to get out! For the voice in my heart says I can not do without … Without the land beneath my feet, Without the sound of the trees in the wind. Without the buds that bloom and tell me there’s hope, Without the love that flows from beyond my scope. Without the connection that reminds me that I’m alive, Without your heartbeat here by my side I seek again for what I cannot see. I seek again for what’s found inside of me. I seek again for the strength to persevere, As I walk among those that this world does fear …. DEDICATED TO TDCJ CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS

The List

January 26th 2009 (After coming back from Costa Rica & Feeling a tremendous sense of Male Lose) I just came back from burying my dad. For my own protection and in a blatant attempt to "outwit" God, I have made a list of the ideal and only man that I will ever consider for marriage. Since the odds of him existing is slim to none, I thereby conclude that I will be on my own from here on out. THE LIST 1. Love God/ have an intimate Relationship with Jesus Christ 2. Blonde Hair & Blue Eyes (I have always loved these traits, but never had them love me back) 3. A GENTLE man 4. Character: Honest, self-confident, patient, trustworthy. 5. Love to Dance (good luck finding that one, Lord; especially at my age) 6. Not threatened by a strong woman 7. Believes that marriage is 2 independent people partnering together; not expecting me to be molded in to the image of him. 8. NEVER jealous of my relationship with Jesus 9. Encourages my spiritual activity 10. Love to travel and have a ...
