Reflecting on "The Cycle"
This is a note that I wrote on Facebook on March 29,2009. These words fit how I feel today. There is only one word I would add to this montage in several places is the word WAITING. I feel like I am always waiting. Waiting on something or someone. The silence of waiting is sometimes [...]
Taking the Limits Off
Since May I have been in an internal struggle believing God about the “exceeding, abundantly above all you can ask, think or imagine”. A friend of mine would say, “you have to take the limits off God”. As I tried to do it in my own strength, fear would set in…what if what I “ask, [...]
Imparting Wisdom
Man, I wish I had something exciting to say, something that will compel people to stop pointing fingers and get involved. Yesterday while doing my daily devotion I read this passage of scripture and I immediately thought of my families on the West End of San Antonio. This passage of scripture reminded me that not [...]
The Solution
The problem with poverty is that, haves and have nots alike, seem to believe that poverty and being “poor” is just about money and material possession. But it’s not. And if you served in the neighborhood in which we serve I believe that you’d also come to that conclusion, if you wanted to see [...]

Roll Models

Sometimes you gotta remind yourself…
In spite of all the great things that you may see leaders do, we all struggle with fear, doubt, failure, and complacency, well…at least I do. So when I need a little reminder about who called me and what He called me to do I listen to this song by one of my favorite artists, [...]
