I wrote this for one of my classes it was the introduction for my sociology group project. It inspired me and thought I'd share it with you all.

Good evening all. My name is HIV/AIDS. I am the handsome guy at the gym or the sexy chick at the party. I am the priest, the pundit or even the pastor. I Love to travel. I don't have feet of my own so I use yours. I don't have a car of my own, so I rent yours. I even like to use the bicycle, to visit the neighbour.
Most of all I love the airplane. I can get form Africa to Trinidad and Tobago in at least 24hrs. I can get from Trinidad to Tobago in ten minutes, and that is how I get around. I'm here today to tell you my story.
My full name is Human Immunodeficiency Virus and when I grow up they call me Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. I love people of all ethnic groups, all ages, every social class and every gender. Before I travel, I like to catch a ride in your body. So, I wait until you are careless and take a chance for some sex and [...]

Hi everyone,
Hope this meets you all well and in good health. Today I'm dealing with "Cry".
Ever had a period in your life when everything seems to be going wrong even when you put your best foot forward? Or you continue to do what is right because you know that it is the best way to go and yet still seems like hell has opened? Well my friends welcome to planet EARTH.
Earth is filled with constant problems and other human beings who do see things the way you do and in fact never will. Sometime we feel as if we are being naive to continue doing what is right and still have folks lie to us and about us. We want to say the #$@$%$^&#$% words to sometimes. Then, there are the time when we can't hold it back anymore and we just CRY!!!!
Cry because we are hurt. Cry because we've done our best and still it has not turned around. Cry because we are tired of trying. Cry because that's the last thing we can do.
Truth be told nothing is wrong with Crying or feeling discouraged. The problem is when [...]

Hi everyone thanks to those of you that have commented to the song blogs hope these insights are helpful.
Today I'm dealing with "Call My Name"
Honestly I can't remember the exact circumstances, but I know I wrote this song while working on the cruise ship Voyager of The Seas. Written on the 23rd of April 2001. Working on a cruise ship is quite a challenge. If have a personal relationship with Christ it's all the more challenging. How do you keep your faith alive and live in a world that's contrary? Answer the basics.
While on the seas I kept my daily devotion alive and continued to pray and fast once a week. I mingled as much as possible with people of like mind to keep myself alight with passion for God.
One time I just remember God saying "Call My Name". You may say but I hear people calling all the fancy name Jehovah this and Jehovah that I don't know about those. The thing is that these names revealed a part of God to an individual. All of us can get there, if we'd just call his [...]

Ok so this is song blog #2
I remember writing this song clearly. I was in the mango tree at the back of our house. I went there to think and clear my head. I had been struggling to stop a serious habit. The habit... masterbation. Yup I did that. That last time I feel so awful with my self after asking God to forgive me over and over again and more than anything else struggling to forgive myself.
I just wanted to get back to where I was with God when things were all pure and my mind was single and life simple. Not having to see a lady and have thoughts bombarding my mind. Now you can see a lady and say the she's beautiful without thinking anything else, but that wasn't the case.
So there I was up in the mango tree praying and asking God to forgive me and take me back (reminds me the of Andrae Crouch song.)Well that was the last time I did it never bothered me again. God really heard my cry and answered.
There is indeed no condemnation to those who are in Christ, for the law of the [...]

Ok folks, this is my first song blog. The story behind the songs on my first Cd. Today I'm talking about 1 Peter 1:18-19.
Well as the title suggests, this song is taken from the book of first Peter. I was reading my bible (yeah I still do that :)) and this just came alive to me. It was kinda like a validation of my importance and worth.
I immediately set about developing the idea... took me about two weeks and that was it. I first perfomed this song in 1999 with my good Friend Pj Harper and his band at my church.
This song continues to morph every time I perform it and it still continues to encourage me and those who listen to it.
Take a listen if you haven't and if you have soak it in again. Here is the link
