Hi, my name is..Hi my name is..Hi my name is Slim Shad rack Me shack and Abenego. All my life I have wondered at the time when I would meet the woman of my dreams..get married, settle down and raise a family...Eh. If you really believe that then you might say I'm mad. Really growing up I had only one desire, when would I meet Alisa Milano, shack up with her, shack up with her again and so on and so on in finnity. Really my dreams weren't that big, if you call one of my best friends at the time he would tell you I was a little different. In high school my friends used to call me..well I'm not in high school anymore and I don't really dream anymore.

I know it's sad, but there are a cornucopia of desires that my big little heart is just waiting to explode and realize. I want to talk about desires. Desires are not fantasies, but they could be, they are not ambition, but it could be, just what is a desire:

                     1. A Craving
                     2. A Yearning that has never been fulfilled
                     3. A Style of being the person you've always wanted to be
                     4. Seeing a Wish fulfilled
                     5. Seeing an enemy defeated
                     6. Desire.
I think we all have dreams, hey congratulations on having some of your dreams fulfilled, but what is deep down in your heart? Can I go there. If you were the only person on a desert island, how would you spend your time? Would you wear you shorts over your pants, or would you run around naked. I think you are starting to see the difference between desires and dreams. Hey, most dreams go unfulfilled, but desires on the other hand, well they can be almost reachable.

Have you ever dreamed of eating a big mac on the roof of your car with some kind of music blaring from your radio, with nothing but a spedo or bikini (is that how you spell it?) on. Listening to Johnny Gill, or Lenny Kravitz. That's a desire. Yes there comes a time for restraint and that is good. But how about having breakfast in church, not when it's over. How about sipping tea, in the middle of a book store? Oh ya we already have them they're call Starbucks.

One last thing, how about taking an entire wedding party to a movie theatre getting married there and then have the reception sipping pop and eating chocolate and popcorn? Just a thought.

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
