Weekend Inspiration July 20-22:Creativessel Inspirations: Remembering My First Love and Offering Some Helpful Advice
Ebenezer Baptist Church Marquis-Atlanta,Georgia
For today's blog,which you can count as the "Weekend Inspiration",I am lifting up an entry I contributed to the Creativessel Inspirations blog site. It discusses how important communication is and how it is crucial to a successful business or personal relationship that we stay in contact with those we love and those who can make a difference. We should also strive to do what we love doing, whether writing, preaching, singing, designing, lawyering, etc.
The idea was inspired and drawn from a sermon preached at the Ebenezer Baptist Church by Pastor Raphael Warnock when I visited there last January 9,2006 during Union Theological Seminary's Poverty Initiative Mission trip to the Gulf coast.The theme of the sermon was how God is a jealous God and how we have to remember him.
Against that backdrop,Rueben Stoddard and recently crowned American Idol, Jordin Sparks sing a Motown Records classic originally performed by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell,"You're All I Need To Get By". The American Idol television performance is sure to remain in your memory rewind collection for a long while, if you take the time to view it.
Below is the link to my original blog posting:

As you listen to the song, from the link provided to the original version at the end of the blog, think of those things and people you love. Here is another link to the song for your convenience.As the streetwise say in the vernacular, "handle your business" and make those connections...
Now,make it happen! I know I'm on it...
And,remember that the love of God working through you and others is really all you need to get by, in the final analysis.
Peace,
Cynthia
