is thinking about how Forrest Gump just ran and ran and ran; and, while he was running, good things happened to him….Sometimes, you just have to start running…

I make no apologies for the incredible things that God is doing in my life. Also, I make no apologies for the crazy praise that I’m giving Him for it. As such, I don’t ask anyone to “please excuse me while I dance”. I just pop up and dance…

When life stings, don't stop livin'. Keep on tickin'.

Though emphasis is placed on teaching children and teens to stand for their beliefs, many adults need instruction on standing for their beliefs…

Cincinnati Reds...3.....Houston Astros....2...Kudos to the Reds-- National League Central Champions--Da Reds!!!

Today, I had a great day in Atlanta. My mom and I drove there to look at housing for me….I need to get the right place at the right time…

Focus on solutions...not distractions...

As great mysteries have been solved in silence, let's take time to hear what's said in silence......Goodnight

Florida State...31....Wake Forest...0.......F-L-O-R-I-D-A... S-T-A-T-E... Florida State...Florida State... Florida State...Whew!

Contrary to what some might say, it’s very stylish for women to be fabulous rather than ghetto fabulous…

Wake Forest… vs…. Florida State (Seminoles)….at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC….. Go Noles!!!

Iteration without revelation equals irritation…..It’s annoying when people act like they got a fresh idea, but repeat what someone else has said, without adding any meaning….

When you allow others to dictate how you stand on issues, ultimately, they run your life…

As one of Branford Marsalis' CDs is entitled "I Heard You Twice the First Time", sometimes, when we hear news, we get a revelation of more than what is said....

Sometimes a little encouragement goes a long way...so hold on...You can make it!

If you're in an abusive relationship, then I'm a witness that, though your abuser might say that you're ugly and worthless, you are Beautiful and Valuable...Most of all, if you're to get out of the relationship, then you have the power!

Eating Hershey's special dark chocolate at this time of morning doeth wonders for the soul.....

Controlling people tend to get very upset when you show them that they can’t control you, but you have to do what you have to do…

Sometimes, you just have to “kill ‘em with kindness”…..

Today, Florida State beat BYU…. 34-10…F-L-O-R-I-D-A… S-T-A-T-E…Florida State…Florida State….Florida State…Whew!

Ignorance complicates processes and wastes time....

There's so much more to life than meets the eye. Hear, feel, smell, and taste more of life...

O.K., the cold "bug" is going around, and I have a question. When I hear people cough, sometimes I think of the movie "Outbreak". When people are riding in a car, should they open the window, to let in fresh air, after coughing?

It's poppin'....

When people focus on why something can’t happen, change is easier said than done…

Congratulations to Michael Grimm for winning America's Got Talent.....I prayed for him to win! Yes! Thank you Jesus! Whew!

I look forward to watching America's Got Talent: The Finale...at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC

Liars lie. Though this might sound intuitive, it’s not good to get information from liars…..

Diversity is a beautiful thing....

While one hand serves to help brace me, my other hand is open and stretched up, reaching for a higher level not a handout....

It's not good to hang with messy people...They could ruboff on you...

According to dictionary.com, chatter means “to talk rapidly in a foolish or purposeless way”… A lot of chatter is annoying…Sometimes I want to offer people Chewy when they chatter….

Yesterday, a man expressed interest in dating me. After asking me if I’ll re-marry and hearing my affirmative reply, he asked what I want in a husband and told me that he makes a good candidate. Yes, he is saved, an established businessman (millionairish)…As I’m not interested in him, he told me that, if ever interested, then I should take him out to demonstrate sincerity. I told him, “No.” Ya’ll am I old fashioned?

Sometimes people can't see who you are and what you stand for because in their minds, they've already made you out to be something else....

Read the Bible for Free online in 50+ languages and 100+ versions...http://ping.fm/dR2Zt

I expect what others have labeled as "impossible"....

When situations press you, laugh....

While some have worn white sheets, killed, and burned crosses, there have been people who’ve committed acts of hatred in the name of “Christianity”… Now, we have a group who intends to burn the Qur’an. The Bible states that people will know that we are Christians by our love. Christianity is based on love not hate…I sincerely pray that no one burns the Qur’an and that people stop masking their evil as “Christianity”…

When people know and respect your purpose in their lives, they'll better appreciate your value...

Let's make a difference..."In the U.S., 30 million people over age 16 — 14 percent of the country’s adult population — don’t read well enough to understand a newspaper story written at the eighth grade level or fill out a job application."--- ProLiteracy

Today is International Literacy Awareness Day...Let's respectfully help others improve their reading skills...

I refuse to accompany anyone in their misery...

I look forward to watching America's Got Talent...at 9:00 p.m. ET on NBC...I hope the contestants bring it...

In the race of life, even if you finish in last place, you're a winner because you conquered the race...It's not always about defeating another person. Sometimes you just have to beat your problem...

Whew! What a game! Boise State is For Real...They had what it took to win, kept their poise when down, and won...In life, you have what it takes, keep your cool, and win!

I look forward to seeing some good football...Boise State vs. Virginia Tech...8 p.m. ET...on ESPN...

I'm watching Team USA beat Angola....on ESPN....Go Team USA!!!

"Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction."---John F. Kennedy

Today, I preached "Comin' Out the Fire"--Daniel 3:19-30. I touched on identity; the relevance of 3 (special completeness) and 4 (creation); the importance of having the right people around you; humbling yourself while in the fire so that Jesus shows up, looses you, and walks with you; having all of you go through the fire (purification) so that when you come out all of you will be ready for the elevation.

I just submitted chapter 4...so now I need to finish tomorrow's sermon...

My research is mixed methodology quantitative/qualitative...I'm using SPSS for the quantitative and nVivo for the qualitative...I've used SPSS since the early 90s and love it! However, this is my first time using nVivo. Though it's saved me some time, I don't see how it lives up to its hype...The verdict is still out on it...

My dissertation's title is The Exploration of Emotional Intelligence (EI): Can a Potential Relationship Between CEO EI and Nonprofit Intellectual and Financial Capital be Established?....Right now, I'm trying to get chapter 4 in by the deadline...today 11:59 p.m. ET....

Though I'm tired as I don't know what, I'm working on chapter 4 of my dissertation....It looks I'm about to pull an all nighter...

If I hear a drumbeat, and I feel like dancing, then I'll dance... even if I have to dance alone...

One of the weirdest things just happened...I was in a study room at the library. A man opened my study room door, stood and stared at me, told me he needed to use the phone. I told him, "Not in here." He kept standing and staring at me. As he tried to close the door, I reached out and pulled it open. He kept staring at me. I kept telling him, "Not in here." Then, slowly he went to the books by room (about 1 foot from me) and stood at the books for a while. I kept my eye on him and watched him go downstairs. As he was going down the stairs, a library staff member (who hadn't seen what happened) was going down behind him. I tried to get the staff member's attention so that he could get the male, but the staff member didn't hear me....I reported the incident. The staff here have been very nice in the process, and one reported that the male had been lurking around and seemed suspicious... Security is looking for the male...I'm now sitting on the first floor in front of offices (with glass walls so staff members can see me)...Thank you Jesus for keeping me!...Now, I need to focus so that I can finish chapter 4 of my dissertation...

I'm sold on re-locating my business to Buckhead..For my housing, one condo in the metroplex stands out in my mind...I'm praying...

Here's a quick update....I just toured 3455 Peachtree Road NE 30326 (The Pinnacle) for Top Brainiac Inc...It looks like a keeper:)....I'm about to meet the realtor to find housing for me....

Well, today is a great day! I'm going to Atlanta to find office space (Buckhead area) for my company Top Brainiac Inc....and housing for me...I have lots of property tours scheduled....This is very exciting!

Though this might sound redundant, I have to say it...When things come together, they come together...When it's poppin', it's poppin'....
