Purpose

Do you know that everything has a purpose! What is your purpose? What have you desired to do that you have put off and put off that it now seems in the distance waving it's hands "good-bye"? I remember the innocent day dreams of creating a better environment for children. One in which, they did not have to think about where their next meal would come from or compromise studying because they were busy thinking about how the household bills would get paid.

There is a longing to DO something to make the world a better place. I am talking about starting in the inner circle, the immediate environment. The neighborhood I grew up in, the kids that walk up and down the street with no direction or anyone to point them in the right direction. Is it possible to give someone a purpose? Can you plant a seed of hope in the life of a child who has not been exposed to anything outside of his/her own city?

Sure, there is a time of planting, a time of watering, and a time of reaping the harvest. Whether it is your child, your nephew, niece, neighbor, the little boy at the store or the little girl walking down the sidewalk, they all have something in common. They long to be valued, they long to be appreciated, and they long for a purpose! It takes a desire to think ahead and have faith that the seeds of hope that is planted TODAY will mature and manifest into the blossom that makes a mark that is EVERLASTING. So, speak LIFE, HOPE, POSITIVITY, and PURPOSE into your life so that you can impart that into the lives of others! You are a great tree planted along the rivers of fresh water. May God's desire for you meet your desire to fulfill the PURPOSE you were created to fulfill!

Purposely Written,

Thank You!

  Thank You DFA and Family   This serves as a “Thank You” to all of you who are reading this right now. Today is my last day at DFA. Although some of you were here when I came to DFA back in June of 2000, many have retired or moved on to various other assignments. Some have come after I started with DFA. I have had the opportunity over the last few weeks to execute a brief version of a succession plan. What usually takes years, I had to condense in a few weeks. However, I feel assured that the work of DFA will continue with excellence. I did not want any of you to worry about how you were getting paid, so I preferred to work until my last day and think of it as a “see you soon” rather than a "good bye". Good byes are not my forte, because they seem so final. So, I will see you soon. I will be rooting for you and know that DFA will succeed. The years and seasons have gone by so quickly. Time surely waits for no one. As a nation and state, we find ourselves still in the m

Don't Waste Your Time...

Don't waste your time arguing with or listening to people who are argumentative by nature. Some people will "argue with a stop sign", that's what they use to say in the old days. Just ignore the noise and focus on other things that are more important. Let the small stuff go! There are many more urgent things going on that require more attention. Let us take a look at John chapter nine. Here, Jesus heals a man who was blind at birth and the Pharisees were trying to find out every thing they could to find fault in the miraculous thing Jesus did for this man. First, the disciples asked Jesus, what sin did the man commit? John 9:1 - As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answers, 3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him w

What profits a Person to Gain the Whole World?

What Profits a Person to Gain the Whole World and lose his/her soul? The soul is deemed integral or essential to consciousness and personality . As I contemplate on this thought, I have to take a look in the mirror at myself. With any evaluation made, one must first perform a self assessment , which equates to self-awareness . Knowing where you stand on a particular subject or how you feel about a particular topic, first requires some soul searching and getting to know SELF . So, I ponder and pray sometimes about the direction God wants me to take; about the decisions God wants me to make; about the work God wants me to do; about the associations God wants me involved in; about the influences God wants me to have on others; about the thoughts God wants me to write; and about the people God wants me to touch; then I pick up my Bible to read and He reveals some of these things that I ponder over. Oftentimes, I may not know where to start, but He leads me to where he wants me to g

Keep Your Head Up~

There are situations and people who we may come across or encounter that attempt to still the joy and positive forces that God so freely gives to all of us. What benefits a person to look on the down side of everything and live in such defeat? It would be so easy to slip away into this state of euphoria and block out these rays of counter forces, but God wants us to be bold and release the truth into the lives of these people. Acquiring and sustaining such a state of what I call "Euphoria" is available. 2Corinthians 3:17 states "Now the Lord is the Spirit ; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty ." Furthermore in verse 18, it reads "But we all, with unveiled face , beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory , just as by the Spirit of the Lord." Unveiling and taking off the mask of defeat, opens up a whole new awakening to the truth. The Spirit of the Lord equals liberty
