Slowly Becoming Unicorns

Last week, I was working a colleague to establish qualifications for a new vacant position.  This person rattled off at least 20 positive necessary qualifications for the position.  I told her you are looking for a unicorn; meaning you are looking for someone that does not exist.

In my line of work, I am seeing more households where an effective and relevant father is no where to be found.  This is having a profound effect on the family members.  Good fathers are becoming an endangered species.  Despite what I see from some sectors of society who are saying men cause too many familial and social ills; followed by who needs them.  A good father leads a good life through the work of the Holy Spirit.  The scriptures encourage believers to model a life for others to follow:

2 Corinthians 3:2-3
Your lives are a letter of recommendation written in others' hearts; everyone can read it and recognize our good work among you. 3 Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This “letter” is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.

My father said, in this order, God, Family, Church, Education, Work.  A flawless life formula.  Yet fewer people see the value in it.

I submit to you today, to celebrate and support the men, the fathers, the uncles in your lives who do and make a meaningful impact on your life or the lives of your children.   They are hard to find.

Now my message to my birthday love ---- I wish you a happy birthday, and yes this means money cometh, or better I will turn a blind eye to Amazon purchases today.

 Song of the Week  Hallelujah! Sing a New Song to GOD. Sing HIS praise in the assembly of godly people. Psalm 149:1.

"Right Where You Are", 6/13/2024, DOE
Yesterday I played this song on the way to MOA.  I asked, "Do you like this song?" and she replied "DOE is my girl!"  That my friends is all the endorsement you need.  Click on play button below to see the video.  We have a small surprise for you.

Lyrics
I know your feet are heavy, holding at a stand still
Watching every body pass you by
I know you are tired, fighting hare against your own will
It's like heaven is taking its time

And, oh,
I hear you crying out, Jesus, come back now
oh
Give yourself grace, I promise you somehow

He will meet you where you are
He will meet you right where you are
You don't have to walk too far
I'm staying on that, wherever you are at
He knows how to find your heart
Oh, He will meet you right where you are

Would you believe me if I told you it was easier
To let it go and give it up
Trying to prove everybody that you are strong enough
When all you really need is love

Oh,
I hear you crying out, Jesus, come now
Oh
Oh, let your guard down,  it's a safe place now

He will meet you where you are
He will meet you right where you are
You don't have to walk too far
I'm staying on that, wherever you are at
He knows how to find your heart
Oh, He will meet you right where you are

Better days are coming your way
This too shall pass
Better days are coming your way
This too shall pass
Better days are coming your way, oh

He will meet you where you are
He will meet you right where you are
You don't have to walk too far
I'm staying on that, wherever you are at
He knows how to find your heart
Oh, He will meet you right where you are

Better days are coming your way
This too shall pass
Better days are coming your way
This too shall pass
This too shall pass

Sweeter Than the Honey in the Honeycomb

  Early Edition of Good Son-Day!!! Hey, Baby! Mother Parker's endearing catchphrase Sweeter Than the Honey in the Honeycomb Today’s message is a tribute to Mother Helen Parker.  She was one saint I knew from the minute I met her, I knew without a doubt, she was Heaven-bound. Mother Parker had a profound impact on anyone she encountered.  She had a well-lived life because she read the Word of God, lived the Word, spoke the Word over herself and others.  Per Psalms 19:9,   Mother Parker’s words were “More precious than gold, than pure gold; they were sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb” . Everything about Mother Parker was sweet. She was a model consistency in how she treated everyone. Not one evil bone in her body.  She was a champion loving God, your husband, your kids, and loving your friends.  It was an unrelenting love. A love that expected nothing in return.  By definition, this is a Christ-like love.   Mother Parker’s impact with anyone she connected with was tr

Here is Your Mother

It is a Good Son-Day Indeed Mother's Day Menagerie Here is Your Mother I am blessed in so many ways to be surrounded so many wonderful women who have brought into the world exceptional human beings.  Thank God every day for the mothers who have impacted my life.  I know when I need them they will be there for me and they know I will reciprocate. As I continue the epic saga of post-resurrection Christ I would be remissed if I did not include presence at the cross and the acession of Christ.  Typical mother, always there for an extraordinary and exceptional anointed Savior she birth into this world. Take care of the women who are your biological, step, assumed, spiritual, in-law, in-lieu of physical mother. Christ, Mary his mother, Christ's disciple, and Christ's charge to His disciple. John 19:25-27 25 Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw His mother standing there beside the disc

Only The Powerful

Take a Son-Day Drive on This Lovely Day Summer Vibes Laughter is Good for the Heart How Our Summer is Going Only The Powerful  The entire world classifies people into hierarchies based job, residence, earnings, assets, weight, athleticism, height, and color to name an obvious few.  If you do not have the right previous descriptors you can be deemed by society as less desirable, unworthy, or a write off. Recently, I sat in on a conversation with some employees outside one of our buildings.  The conversation turned to a Minneapolis suburb called "Blaine".  They talked about the vivid dichotomy between the impoverished trailer parks and the lavish homes in the new developments.  I then cringed when I heard them refer to the people residing in the trailer homes as "White Trailer Trash" and this was uttered by a person of the same color. I spoke up and said I was uncomfortable with the conversation and that ended it. Our Lord did not create a physical being , then breath
