Send us Fan Mail I pray that this personal testimony will enable others to learn to lean and place their cares in the hands of GOD. It does not matter what the issue is-HE IS ABLE! Let go and be "FILLED" with the HOLY SPIRIT. He left it here as our HELPER! DO NOT ALLOW pride to rob you of what is truly within-with HIM and THROUGH HIM! OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE

Send us Fan Mail We can choose to continue to view this great experiment  as one perfect union.  However, if we open our eyes to the realities of what is occurring around US, we will come to realize that things are not going to get better by US sitting on our hands or adopting the "it is what it is" attitude. An attitude that those who seek to tighten their grips of control by furthering...

Send us Fan Mail It has always been incredibly vexing to me to hear adults speak negatively of children-especially children that are a part of their respective community(ies). It seems that we have now forgotten what we experienced as youth or have become so detached from the village that other's well-being is no longer of our concern. Sure, I understand that there are now risks when approach...

Send us Fan Mail "Vision" I envision us sojourning ...TOGETHER...beneath and within the GLORIOUS SPLENDOR of GOD! OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE!

Send us Fan Mail "I Witness" When the revelation received opens one's eyes to the fact the we are oftentimes our  biggest obstacle to what we seek to achieve. Don't allow the coaster to force you to overlook what is oftentimes abundantly obvious. OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE!

Send us Fan Mail Oh, how thankful I am that God saw fit to remove from the roller coaster of life and establish a place of solid ground for me. HE moved in a way that enlightened me to the fact that what I attributed to the spirit in me WAS NOT a  spirit at all-IT WAS SOULFUL FLESH! I am eternally grateful that the SPIRIT that  HE imparted to me was and is willing to move so that I could transcrib...

Send us Fan Mail Growing into that space that the facade has for so many years protected-that facade is now being torn down-much to the dismay of those who had an integral part in creating it. There is no intent to diminish the personally held thoughts of others. There is no intent to create personal chaos within myself nor for others. Jagged Edge was composed when I sat and held a very nice conve...

Send us Fan Mail LET GO of that wheel and allow HIM to captain your ship.  All we have to do is learn to say... "AYE, AYE" OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE!

Send us Fan Mail We cast off...pray away...those things that seek to work their nefarious deeds within our lives. Those... "Trappings" that present themselves as something that we cannot do without. Those things that oftentimes present in a glistening fashion that leave us awestruck. Let me tell you...and I tell you with a certainty that was learned from true first-hand experience...&quo...

Send us Fan Mail Some are in Disbelief Some are Saddened... Some are Amazed... Some are simply OVERJOYED... All these various emotions by what is now occurring in this amerikkka! There is utter confusion by many as to how they should respond and behave based on what is occurring. White folk afraid to show their true beliefs to their inner-circles for fear of being ostracized. Black folk who though...

Send us Fan Mail We oftentimes give short shrift to those things that for a lifetime we consider inconsequential. Until, as we age, we recognize they were of great consequence. I have been doing quite a bit of reminiscing lately. And I have become more and more aware that MY GOD considers every interaction that we have with another of HIS creations are of the utmost importance to HIM and that HE t...

Send us Fan Mail I dug into past episodes this morning with the sole intent of locating this piece. WHY? Deuteronomy 4:9-10 Take a moment and study it. After you have done so, have a listen to... "When Wondering What to Tell Them" Make NO MISTAKE... it is up to US to ensure that... WE INDEED TELL THEM... OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE

Send us Fan Mail I KNOW that every word that I write-every new discovery and EVERY bit of technology that I engage- is designed for me to convey that which the Spirit has imparted to me. I also know that this is MY WALK but that GOD has laid out this specific path for me so that I can reach that SOMEONE who is in need  of it.  "MY PATH" is a piece that illuminates what's inside me a...

Send us Fan Mail Call it out...CONFRONT IT. There is a concerted attempt to ERASE ALL of our past "America...The Troubled" Is a piece I wrote back in February of this year when there was active discussion about eliminating Black History Month and those activities that celebrate the achievements of an entire group of people. Regrettably, that movement remains alive and well.   Even more r...

Send us Fan Mail Once again, I hear the electrical currents running behind/within the walls... I DO NOT know about you'll, but my dreams are as vivid as the time I spend during what we consider as awake. I am aware that throughout the past five years I have broached the subject of dancing colors, hearing the sound of electricity running through the walls, and many other things that may be con...

Send us Fan Mail This piece, or the completion of this piece, occurred this morning. I started it several months ago while walking along the wooded path that I normally travel. Admittedly, I have not been doing much walking lately. Nor have I been doing much writing. However, that all changed on Friday, July 31 while lying in bed.  I HEARD the electricity running again-behind the walls. I immediat...

Send us Fan Mail There are mothers who are condemned to needlessly cry throughout the land. This time the focus is on the mother of Nolan Xavier Wells! Say his name. "Mama...It's Still Circling" is a piece that seeks to illuminate the deaths of our young men and women whose lives are "snuffed out"  without adequate explanation. Whether the cause is alleged suicide or being...

Send us Fan Mail If you truly listen.,.. Along this journey we are often caught juggling numerous those things we want to hold to while seeking to determine the importance of each. "Trifecta" ...again, a piece that called for me to revisit.  Because it addresses the quandary created by the vicissitudes of life and those things we ALLOW to rent, lease, and own that SPECIAL SPACE- within o...

Send us Fan Mail  If one did not believe that they would be impacted by... "The Real" ...it certainly now should be abundantly clear by the rulings handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States on yesterday-June 25,2026 that there decisions are PURPOSELY INTENDED to impact ALL PERSONS of color, the marginalized, and the disproportionally affected. This ruling, and the as yet unan...

Send us Fan Mail And still.... We all have memories and stories that we can talk about our father's. The stories I have are not based on long eloquent conversations that we had- that was not Snow! My life lessons were derived from observing- the good and bad -of  this man of action. "Pops" ...encapsulates the  essence of the man that had "many" mouths to feed and went abou...

Send us Fan Mail "Perspective is Relative" Even as one reads those words, the thoughts that begin to formulate in one's mind may differ tremendously from what was intended by the author. It takes some growing up to actually arrive at the point of "becoming grown" and realizing and accepting that as we traverse along this journey- that perhaps everything is working out as i...

Send us Fan Mail Oftentimes, that for which we find ourselves desperately searching is right there within our hands or contained within that which we willingly discard.  This entire piece, music and all, is intended to be disconcerting-an example of what we find ourselves doing within our lives. Over complicating things when there is no need and casting away those things that are/were designed to...

Send us Fan Mail Tomorrow, March 16th, 2026, is my 65th birthday! PRAISE GOD!! I share this piece with all those with whom I have enjoyed this time-this blessing.  "Longing" is a piece that I hope evokes your special memories of people and times that let you know, as it does me, that the process of longing is...

Send us Fan Mail This current administration afforded numbers of people and groups of people to remove their masks and expose themselves for who they truly are and what they truly represent. 'trippin" is a short piece that illuminates some of the things that we as blacks, especially men, encounter on a daily basis. Regrettably those persons and companies now feel no need to disguise thei...
