My Family of Women

When I decided to write about Holy Hip-Hop I was at a gospel nightclub enjoying the presence of the Lord.  That's when I went into a rant in my head about a message in the music. When people think of Hip-Hop they think of flash not substance. But when I think of Hip-Hop I think of the Word of God pouring out to the masses in a much needed and different way. I think of men and women who love to worship and love the presence of God. They love to see lives changed because of Jesus. Just like their lives were changed. Smiles, lots and lots of smiles!  Hugs, joy, friends and Jesus being lifted up.  To me Hip-Hop is more about the words than the beat. I like the beat but when the Word touches my heart that's when I sway and bounce and get all excited!  Why, you asked? Because Holy Hip-Hop's message has been the same from the beginning of time. Ya see music comes from the Lord. Therefore, Hip-Hop is for Him. So when you do Hip-Hop right. It can be sung A capella and make ...

R and B When I close my eyes And think of it I feel the touch of my love Her hands gently touching my face Gliding with the rhythm I see our love through pictures in my mind The first time we met eyes The first time we held hands The first time we kissed The true flow of R and B is about true love Whether about a love that's away or a love in your arms A love lost or greatly received R and B is a smooth wave of emotion It must be sung with heart Passion is a prerequisite Soul is necessary As the record plays up to the CD We cry with the break ups And rejoice with the make ups Our heart is ripped from us Only to mend by the same song R and B is R and B We remember the song from the first note played And reminisce on the feelings we felt when it played Time travel is real and here when we listen to R and B with our heart's ear As I walk with my love hand and hand And look back at our life with great joy I believe the songs sung with heart and tr...

Today is one day after the surgery to take out my gall bladder. It seemed to go really fast. I was nervous but believed everything would be ok. Yesterday started out with me taking a shower at 11:30pm then going to gamestop to get uncharted 3 (awesome game) at 12:01am. Afterwards coming home to wipe a skin pre-operative wipe on my stomach.  I played the game a little then tried to go to sleep. The Lord was good because I got good sleep even though it was only 2 or 3 hours of it.  Woke up at 5 and wiped some more skin stuff on me. Put on my clothes and Pam and I was off to the hospital. We needed to get there at 6am. We got there on time. Found parking by the elevator so Pam wouldn't get lost on the way back from dropping me off. There was about 20 or 30 people there all ready to get cut up. We went to the desk where there was a pregnant nurse to check us in.  Then we sat down in the middle of the room so I can people watch. A few minutes later a tall flight attendant, I ...

So I know its been awhile since I have last wrote to you. I'm sorry. I'll do better :). I hope everyone that is reading this is doing well and is very blessed. Today I would like to share with you what's been on my heart. Well, its pretty simple. I want everyone to love Jesus. I also want everyone to have a church home. A place where they really feel, well, at home. A place where they can truly reveal their heart to God. That's what my church is to me. So how did we get that way you ask? Jesus. Also we said everyone is welcome. Jesus wants everyone to come to Him so welcoming all who wants Him just makes since. That doesn't mean He likes our sin. He hates sin but He loves us and wants us even with all the sin we have committed, are committing and will commit. Jesus wants us to love Him and trust that He will make our life better in EVERY area. When I came to the Lord I was a sinner. I had plenty of sin. Lust fornication lying (you know calling in to work sick wh...

I've had my blog for a year now and would love to know what was your favorite post?  Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and writing comments.

what will you do when you are face to face with Jesus

Its been a year since I started this blog. Wow!  Wow wow wow!! I'm writing this from the doctors office which I am at because of my hospital visit ugh. I'm ok I have some gull stones that will be out soon. Enough about that. This time last year I started writing because my wife was in Africa.  It made it easier to past the time and keep up with what happened.  So guess what my wife again is in Africa lol. My kids are still beautiful. But I am very different.  Our family is different. Two of my daughters are staying with their mom. Which the Lord told me I would have to let them go years before. I always assumed it would be for college or something. It still is weird and hurts a bit but we're ok. "The Littles, Ruby and Esther, are very much "mediums" now.  Moriah a Phee have grown into incredible women. Pam has more confidence in who she is in Christ and it shows in amazing ways. Then there is me. The Lord has slowed me down in a very positive way. Our relat...

Dear anybody that will listen If your opinion of life, church, people, doctrine, yourself and anything else is more important than the love of Christ and loving Christ then is Jesus really precious to you? You wouldn't let anyone keep you from your paycheck or your child or entertainment. Yet when it comes to Christ you will leave Him if you see or hear one small bad thing from the christian community. The christian community is not Christ. we are just followers of Christ and we are very flawed. Don't let anyone keep you from Christ. He is soooooo precious like water to a starving man or a father holding his child. Love God, love people,and preach the Word(Jesus). Its about YOUR relationship with Christ. There is no excuse for not knowing Jesus because He has been chasing after your heart from the beginning. If you don't know who He is Read John Matthew Mark and Luke. Learn who He is. Ask Him to be the Lord of your life. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins and acknowledg...

What if the rapture was in September? What would you do? Are you ready to go? If you are going, have you told your friends and family how to get to Jesus too? Would you look at people that have hurt you differently? Are you excited to see Jesus? Please comment on the blog. I would really like to know how you feel about this topic.

The love of my father is like no other No other could push and pull like you did You are a pillar of strength Yet your true strength lies in Christ Christ has given you love joy peace A peace none would understand You understand me My faults my pain my thoughts my heart My Heart still yearns for a talk a laugh a hug We never really hugged much but your hold on me as a father was great And greatly needed My need now is to be a great father A father like you You who loved our Christ servantprince 6/18/11

Quiet peaceful blissful A calm serene day Then A breeze A gust A horrible torrent of struggle Pain all around Attacks of the mind and body Disoriented confused lost What do I do How do I feel Inside this eye there is no control but there is The Comforter When it hurts to live The Comforter is there When getting up feels wrong The Comforter is there When life destroys your life The Comforter is there Let Him pick you up and walk you through the pain Let Him give you strength you never had Let Him do miracles that turn the tornadoes of life into the testimony of great triumph Let Him be God and let yourself be loved by Him because He is and always will be The Great Healer The Great Redeemer The Great Comforter The Lord Jesus Christ Servantprince 6/2/11

Its been awhile since I wrote it been awhile since I flowed I had to let my fluids sit and rest like steak on a plate The juices needed to get from my mind to my tips Like Toni B I needed to breath again Now I'm back ready to pour my soul to paper Back to create a image in your mind of what my crazy mind was showing Which is water Potent life-giving water That's the real juice Now that my juice has rested Its time for it to explode like Cool-aid man(red) on a Jesus freak high Here to refresh your soul with the juice that spews from my mouth like a talkative 4yr old with nothing to do My juice is good juice and can only come from the Source of Sources So if you want some come get some there is no man that can resist the Source's juice Servantprince 6/1/11

To live for the Lord. What does that mean. Some say be nice to people. Give to the homeless. Turn the other cheek. Some say tell the truth no matter how the other will feel or the timing of the truth that was spoken. Some believe to put the law above the persons salvation. This is what I believe. Love the Lord with all your mind, body and soul. I believe we need to respond to Grace. I believe that loving the Lord will help you live like Christ. God didn't make it complicated.... We did. I think we get so caught up with not sinning that we forgot or didn't realize that we should just love the Lord. Being obsessed with the Lord will keep you from sin. Will we mess up, yes, but Grace died on the cross because He knew we would. Loving Christ will dictate your actions speech and most importantly your heart. When you are in love you tell everybody, you do weird things, you don't care what people say about you. You just love!!! When people see Love they can't help but wa...

I am hurt The pain is excruciating The lashes still sting The name calling still fills my ears The thorns pierce my skin The weight of the wood is great My mouth is dry My wrists and ankles are penetrated by spikes Half my blood has flowed to the ground The pain is so intense They still mock me Father forgive them for they know not what they do This weight of all sin is horrible Father why have you forsaken me The back of my Father is the worst pain I have ever felt but I love you It is time It is Finished I've been forgiven I've been redeemed He has risen He is King What would you do for Love Servantprince 4/1/11

Ephesians 5:25-26 msg   "Husband, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the the Church- a love marked by giving , not getting.  Christ's love makes the church whole.  His words evoke her beauty.  Everything he does and say is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness.  And that is how husbands ought to love their wives.  They're really doing themselves a favor-since they're already "one" in marriage."   10 YEARS FAITHFULLY MARRIED!!!!!!!   Yes I want to shout it from the rooftops! Not really sure of current stats, but I know staying married, staying faithful, being married with joy and grace is hard work and some folks just aren't up for hard work.    Thinking about the love story of Dee and I just makes me smile.  Prayer works people.  When you understand the love story of Christ pursuing you and all of the good he wants to lavish on you, your ...

  I'm amazed at how complex we make things. Kids text to other kids that are right next to them. Adults will pay much more for a item to get it now instead of saving to get it later. We only help someone if we have been told to do so by some organization. What ever happened to doing what's right even if its hard? Or even if it takes a long time? I'm over 300lbs and I got there by taking the easy route.  Now I'm working my way back. And I do mean working ugh (5:30 in the morning is too early lol). I've lost 15lbs and I'm hungry for more. For me it is simple. Do what I know is right. Listen to God and keep it simple. Convenience is not always better and the old school style has many benefits. Just a thought from a overweight writer. God is good and he knows how to change me!!!! :) Announcement time!  My great and awesome wife will be putting up a post on here Friday the 29th.  This is also is our anniversary.   Yea us!! 10 years

The splendor of Gods love With all grace With all mercy He sent His Word The Word went forth Changing this formless ugly abomination Into beauty never before seen in this universe Colors never thought of came from this Word Animals big and small gave praises to their King The land that we stand on now Rose up with humbleness and it worshiped its Lord The Sea untamed applauded the majesty of His Holiness Even the wind and the rocks worked together to create music just for its Master But the most impressive magnificent glorious creation that was created was His son and daughter This love that was spoken into their hearts that changed their lifeless bodies in to the creation of all creations ..... Still wants you This love will change you Just as He change me and Just as He changed this earth Beauty is when Heaven meets earth Love is when Christ meets you Servantprince 4/14/11

Its crowded All I see is flesh walking around Smiling joking having fun One comes up "hey, how are you" I reply "I'm good" Silence Awkward Well nice meeting you I push forward looking for a seat A seat where none is around I'm here to have fun Yet the creepy feeling of being solo sets in Another one comes What's your name Jamar What's yours Julie Ummmmmmm how did you hear about this A friend and oh here comes my boyfriend talk to you later She was cool but of course taken Solo again Why did I come here I could have stayed home Is something on me Why are they looking at me Wow I'm the only black person here Now I really should have stayed home Oh boy I must be the only one that can dance Or is it fear that I'm going to make a ruckus Oh no the guys think my nerdy self is gonna take their girl Or maybe I have the weed on me There scared I'm gonna eat all the chicken Or maybe its the big spot of ketchup on me ...

Why is it that christians give themselves too much power. Its like we have a Heaven or Hell to put people in. We don't save people. Christ does. He has the power. Let's get off our high horses and remember who is riding the white one. We are ALL sinners, oh and by the way there is No small or big sin. Sin is sin and sin is wrong.  So when you lied to your wife for taking a piece of cake. It was a sin. Or if you killed someone.  It is a sin. There is no rating scale. Now forgiveness, Jesus died to save us so we can have a relationship with our Heavenly Father.  Through Him everybody's sin was paid for in full.  What does that mean for someone who is already saved?  It means that you was bought with a price and your body is not your own.  You owe Him everything and all He asks is for you to love HIM, to love all His people and tell folks about Jesus His amazing Son. If your not saved and want to be saved.  Ask God with all your heart to forgive you of yo...

Another day at the Smith household

  As I sit and smell the air It reminds me of summer The breeze past my nostrils and fills my heart with joy I can smell the green grass as it waves at my smile I can imagine the water pouring over my flesh and soul with refreshing glee I can see the heat vibrate off the pavement where men briefly fly with the grace of a eagle I hear the screams of intense joy come from flavored dairy eating munchkins running after a musical box with wheels As I close my eyes I can taste the sweetness of a delicious fruit that I spit out the seeds with great joy and delight as the water in this melon dribbles down my chin I hear the melodies of a school of people singing something old and the harmony of peace as I feel the grace of the gospel pour into my ears Yeeeesssss this is summer But summer isn't summer until I feel the symphony of laughing adults sitting at the table, the chatter of teenagers staring at each other doing what seems to be nothing, the screams of kids playing in th...

One bread crumb That's all you have We are in a recession How am I suppose to feed my family Oh I see I'm just suppose to drag my bread crumb across this dirty floor Wow you must not care about me at all I can lift ten times my weight but how is that gonna help me feed my family ugh Do you know what I had to do to get here?

Bachelor parties as a married man can remind you of things.  In this case nothing naughty (smile).  So somewhere between the groom licking a kiwi and us men playing street fighter.  The elder statesmen of marriage spoke some wisdom to the young cats.  We talked about don't wait to teach your kids.  Why do parents teach their kid how to walk before they know how to.  Teach their kid how to share before they know how to.  Teach their kid how to be a 6 year old when the kid is 4.  Because they are excited to see their child grow.  Then the child hits 8-10 and all of the sudden the teacher is nowhere to be found.  Why do you seem to be surprised when the child wants you to teach them how to be a pre-teen or teen before they reach that age?  It's almost saying I was never a teacher why are you looking at me.  You know what gets parents, fear.  So here are some excuses parents have used.  Why would I tea...
