This is the first in a a series of 8 short thought-provoking messages which kicks off Minister Cynthia Wilson's economic "helps ministry", a humanitarian effort to help friends who are in need of financial assistance.

Luke 6:38
"Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back."

After a recent conversation with a good friend, my thought was how easy it is to sometimes forget those who have generously given to us at some point in our lives. If they have not given directly to us, they may have given to the church, a friend or family member, or someone else in our neighborhood or community. They have given, in either time or treasure and may have now fallen on hard times, leaving burning in our psyche the nagging question (to be continued)...,

Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth day friends. Also check out this blog that rapper extraordinaire Common posted. I would have never thought that eating meat contributes more to global warming than auto exhaust pollution.

Lest We Forget

I have been living in Washington,D.C. for the past few months.I feel blessed to have been placed here,so to speak,before the November election which catapulted Barack Obama to the U.S. presidency,making him the first black man in the history of our nation to be elected to the country's top post.

I have been favored,as other Washingtonians, with an inside view of the hustle and bustle,behind the scenes networking and political jockeying for tickets to the Inauguration.I have even gotten to observe how the city is being reorganized to accommodate the masses expected to flood the city in a few weeks.Most,if not all of the hotels have been sold out for days.Many are planning to move out of their residences and relocate temporarily with friends or relatives to accommodate those in need of housing.Others are getting in on events and balls for social and/or business purposes.

You can be sure that the nation's capital is brimming with excitement in anticipation of the Inauguration. In fact,word has it that more Americans will have the opportunity to observe Barack Obama being sworn in than any other President Elect in U.S. history.All the parties,events and ventures which will overflow from this tremendous breakthrough,and the enterprise which has been generated is mind-boggling. This is a one moment in time,once in a lifetime experience for which many are preparing. I will be covering the inauguration as a blogger and citizen reporter and making recommendations about activities and events of note.

Powell Endorses Obama ...Very Eloquently,I Might Add

Take a look at the eceptionally eloquent and well thought out manner in which Retired General,Former Secretary of State and Elder Statesman,Colin Powell, endorsed Senator Barack Obama this morning on Meet the Press.

Powell sees Obama as a transformational figure with global reach,heralding in a new generation.It was a powerfully impressive vote of confidence indeed:
