Captain's log-- or should I say, BLOG 7/16/2006.
Wow. My first blog. Wow. This is my forum. No profanity. No vulgarity. Come on, why mess up a nice place like this with trash like that? I just want to share my thoughts with you on world issues, my life, spiritual issues, stuff... I believe that I have a great deal of insight from which you could benefit. No, I'm not overestimating my importance. I just believe that there is a lot of information in my head and potential in my spirit that should be shared with the world. Hey, at least you are listening. Some things may be funny. Some deeply spiritual. Some may even be personal-- we'll see. All of it is coming from my heart.

Good luck!!!
Lord, help me to be faithful over little. I want to be entrusted with much, but more than that, I want to be faithful to God. This is training ground. Lord help me...
There are some people who I would really like to meet and hang out with. Many of these people are individuals who I would like to befriend because I think they need a friend, but some just strike me as cool. There are some who I would like to encourage-- either because I see them slipping or because I see them standing in the face of foolishness.
For example, I look forward to meeting Michael Jackson has needed a friend for decades. True, I did have to spend some time scraping the old tape off of my bedroom walls left behind from all the MJ posters. True, something inside of me still smiles when I hear "Got to Be There"--
HOLD ON.
"... when she says hello... WOOOOOOORRRRRRRLLLLLLDDDDDDD!"
OKAY.
I had to get the last line of that song out of my head. Anywho--
I had to get the celebrity image out of my head and see him as a man. Oh, stop it with the jokes. Yes, a man. I really began to see his need. I could not always articulate it, but I believe that people were (and in some cases still are) so enamored with his celebrity, that they ignored his humanity. I feel that he really needs a friend to tell him the truth. You know I would not have let him buy that nose. Keep looking through the catalog or something...
I'd also like to meet Donnie McClurkin. I've seen him minister and truly enjoyed his preaching even more than his great singing. I'd love to encourage him. The word he delivered was not a happy-shouting-new-car-blessing message. It was a hard word, but it was fantastic. There wasn't much positive feedback from the congregation, but I think it was because the message hit so close to home. Now, he is taking time out from singing and touring to pastor his church more closely. I think that's awesome. He's not in it for the glory. He seems to really be after the will of God.
Ya gotta love that.
Whoa! I've got to go to bed! More soon.
FINAL WORD: Pray for someone today. Be an encouragement. Speak life.
