How To Measure A Man

Posted in Inspiration, Leadership on April 24th, 2007 7 Comments »

“The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.”
– Samuel Johnson
Now that the genesis of what I believe is an opportunity for personal growth has begun, what’s the next step? Reading “Where Do We Go From Here?” by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as found [...]

K.I.S.S.

Posted in All About Love, Christianity, Inspiration, Leadership, Social Justice, Wise Words on April 22nd, 2007 2 Comments »

K.I.S.S. is an acronym for a familiar phrase that I’ve slightly modified since my soon-to-be 3-year old daughter believes that “stupid” is a bad word. Whenever she hears comedian Steve Harvey say it while driving to work in the morning, her response is,
“Daddy, that’s not nice.”
As a sign of respect to her, I have [...]

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
– Edmund Burke
Misogyny, the hatred of women, will also prevail when good men fail to “do something” tangible to protect the women that one too many racist, sexist men still hate to love. Don’t be afraid to challenge our blended, [...]

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”

Message To Men Making Misogynistic Music

“A good name is to be more desired than great wealth, Favor is better than silver and gold.”(emphasis added)
Proverbs 22:1 NASB
For the past few days, my heart has been grieving for all the beautiful women that are hurting because we, as men, refuse to “begin within so we won’t have to do without our women.” [...]

One Way To Conquer Procrastination

Posted in Inspiration, Writing As Art on April 16th, 2007 4 Comments »

Procrastination is the result of a “fear-based” decision while one’s ability to “discern” and humbly submit to God’s will is the result of a “faith-based” decision.
Procrastination is a thief, a time stealer, a killer of big dreams. This no-good-for-nothing nemesis has taken down generations of great men, women, and children who failed to achieve [...]

“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.”
Hebrews 11:6 NASB
Has your faith in God, in yourself, in your peers been tested often enough for you to develop the “core strength,” that produces [...]
