Son-shine on Your Shoulders

  Another Glorious Son-Day!! Happy Birthday Jo and Happy Father's Day! Photo from the Washington Monument in Washington  D.C. Happy Juneteenth 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 Corin...

Infinitely a Good Son-day! The Return of Bassin' Gal Old School Empowerment A cat tore up one of my screen windows.  I am in the process of creating a new screen window from scratch.  I want the new window to have the same look as the old.  To get the job completed, I needed the right materials ((i.e., ribs, screen, metal frame, roller, corner clips, and a Dremel tool).  Oh, and knowledge how to do the job. There may be some times in your life when the right materials, resources, tools, and know how are not all available.  There may be a situation in your life where the resource you can rely on is God.

For starters, I just want to remind you of the power of the Holy Spirit.  At the dawn of...

Good Son-Day!!! Happy Mothers’ Day, Jo & all other mothers The Staring Contest Transformational! Picking up from last week’s topic on the soul of man; the transition of spiritual impact started with the God breathed into spirit into man to the soul of man.  I highlighted how the spirit is willing to comply with the commands of its creator and how it can influence the soul of man.  I gave two vivid examples of matriarches, Mother Helen Parker and Dr. Jill Jackson, who have yielded to the whisperings of their willing spirit. To further this point, I will recount William Jackson’s second favorite passage (if you know the first, holler back at me).  It is found in Romans 12:2.   You’ll find it below in two versions, King James and New Living Translation And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world,...
