The Highlights

"O simple ones, learn prudence; O fools, learn sense." Proverbs 8:5

Location Everywhere:

Hamilton Heights where cleavage baring Puerto Ricans call pasty white boys, niggers on 141st Street. Hamilton Heights where runny nosed babies stand barefoot on wet pavement to catch a glimpse of Ice T in black leather. Hamilton Heights where rust colored roaches crawl up the walls and over greasy cardboard boxes of Popeye's chicken. Where fiercely obese women in yellow sweats wearing out the elastic waist bands, sit in lawn chairs and litter their patch of shit stained dirt with Swisher Sweet butts and paper cups. Where the rookie cops straight out of the academy stand on the corner with proud freshly shaved baby faces, working in hell for 25k a year cause they have fast legs. If they can stand the beat here, they'll make it any where.

I hand out chocolate from craft services to the young boys on bikes cause its two in the morning, mom's not around, and they look hungry. The teamsters keep encouraging me to call a car service at wrap, cause the hooded rats are waiting to pounce as I walk to the train.

Hamilton Heights where red lights are short. And the mind set for more out of life is waning.

Are we a sorry sight?

Or has the liberal left decided he's too black?

Must See TV

"May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands."Psalm 90:17

Another day, another script approved by the producing powers that be...

Wrapped the 5th episode tonight and the minds of everyone involved journeys to the place of a viable reality...will we all be employed by season's end?

Now, I would be treading lightly to merely mention my current employer, considering the cast, crew, and teamsters in abundance crowded into the courtroom for our Sexual Harassment Seminar which was heavily laced with corporate policy (i.e. Do Not Use Company Name in any Social Media Outlet).

I like my job. I am a loyal servant.

But, I have my civilian concerns.

"Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings." Isaiah 58:12

I've gone quiet. Not just in my writing. But in my daily life in our broken, rotting society.

My pastor called my name aloud when he spoke of those sitting in the pew of Salvation in silence this morning.

When asked, I don't rebuke or refuse. But I've ceased in the initial offering. And my fortified wall is crumbling in the name of tolerance and the desire to be understood.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. It's only about Him. And when I've shared His word with anyone in my life, it has been to His glory and never to my demise.

If I'm accepted, it's because of Him. If I am shunned, it's because of Him.

Exalting His name is to my benefit and to the recipient of my sharing, a seed.

So I repent this morning, pray my words don't fall on deaf ears and remember this world is...

Just dessert dust and empty shadows,
All promises that turned to lies,
The gods offer fail and betray me,
You alone are truth and life.

So I'll worship only at the feet of Jesus,
His cup alone, my holy grail,
There'll be no other gods before Him,
Just Jesus only will never fail.

Are you convicted?

Don't we live the life?

I hope the Law and Order die hards start playing nice and embrace this girl...she's worth it.

State of the Union

Dear President Obama:
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you. You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support. You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American. You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll. You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core. You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.. You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America 'crowd and deliver this message abroad. You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector. You scare me because you want to replace our health care systemwith a government controlled one. You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves. You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world. You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations. You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaugh's, Hannity's, O'Reillys and Becks who offer opposing,conservative points of view. You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing. Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
