In Jail Outside

For some reason the thought came to me in jail outside. A lot of us live in the prison of our own jail cells. You don't have to be incarcerated to be in jail. Sometimes our fears, shackle us, sometimes our habits shackle us, for 30 years sex has be the handcuffs that has shackled me in my own personal jail cell, now its time to break the shackles of addiction, its time to bust out of the cells that holding us from reaching our God given destiny, break out, break out, you have been shackled long enough break out.

Fight For Your Life

I received word from my layout person on my new up coming book "Fight For Your Life" from Tragedy to Triumph that the final revision won't get to me until late Jan. or Feb. Book writing is a tedious process which takes lots of time. I am thankful to have this opportunity to bring my story to the masses. The only reason that I do this is hopefully so that someones life my be spared the horrific pain and loss that my family and I have suffered. Addictions are selfish, they are all in compassing, there total aim is to kill you and rid you of life. The only known cure for any addiction is Jesus Christ. As I walk this walk thank God that he walks with me.

what constutites victory

What constutites victory? What do we look at or evaluate to see if we won or lost? Well as a coach of  the Mid-Continent Cougars, one of the ways victory is constituted is by the score board, who won and who lost. You can tell that very easily by the score board. Tonight we beat a very tough Lyon College team did we win and they lossed. Well the score will say, yes that is the case. But how do we keep score in life. How do we know whether our lives are producing victory or defeats. Our score board in life is usually measured, by our home lives and whether we are good parents, whether we are stable providers, whether we are productive on the job. Does your life constitute victory or defeat?

Writing a book

Have you ever written a book before. If you have truly done the writing yourself with a publisher, you know the patience it takes to bring your work to the market. I just spoke to my marketing guy today its been 6 to 9 months since i revised the book "Fight For Your Life"from tragedy to triumph, and we are still not finished yet. I still must go back and make corrections for the uteenth time, and then send it back to the publisher so they can read and check as well, and maybe then it will get signed off on to actually do a print run. I am still hoping for Feb. to be the online date when the book can be ordered at http://www.tatepublishing.com/. I know the book will be a blessing to many people who look at themselves and say why am I still in this mediocre predicament. I want to go higher I want to strive for more, I want to "Fight For My Life".

suit up

great message today called "suit up" by pastor walton, we must be suited for the fight. No matter what our fight is we have to have on the right suit. The fight is coming just know that, the question is will you be ready for the fight. Will you have on the right armour. Lets get ready for the fight, lets put our dukes up, sometimes we will have to rope a dope, and sometimes we will have to cover up,but there are other times were punches are necessary.

Dream Teams win championships

As I watched my daughters cheerleading team compete in a cheerleading competition, I could tell that it takes a team to make a dream a reality. During the competition it was easy to see who the best team was. There was a team called Extreme, my daughter worships that team. That team has won a number of championships, she new them all by name, she follows them on the internet. During this competition she had a chance to meet some of the players, but was to scared to approach them. Immediately my mind took note of the thing that keeps most of us shackled in mediocrity, that thing is FEAR. Susan Jeffers wrote a book feel the fear and do it anyway. When there is something positive we are trying to do with our lives, we must feel the fear and do it anyway. My daughter lost the chance to interview the champions because she felt fearful, don't allow fear to cause you to lose the championship. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

sex kills

The more I live the more I understand the power of sex. If used in an unhealthy manner sex kills. Take it form me someone who has been under the spell of sex for at least 30 years. Because of my willful neglect of the things I had been taught, I ran to sex to be my medication for any anxiety I faced in life. If I didn't play well in basketball games, I could run to sex, if my marriage was topsy turvey I ran to sex, sex for me was the cure all it was, my fix, and my high.
Sex outside of marriage is destroying our families, our homes, and our careers. My life has been one roller coaster after another because I had refused to love instead of just having sex. Now after 21yrs of marriage most of which has been filled with infidelity, now I am learning how to be intimate with my wife. Thank God I had a wife who was willing to forgive, thank God I had someone who saw the best in me when everyone else around could only see the worst in me (song Marvin Sapp).
IF you are struggling with any life controlling issue, the first thing you must do is admit you have a problem. After you admit you have a problem, do something about it. We all have problems but some of our problems are bigger than others. Life controlling issues require help, no man is an island in an unto himself, we are all apart of the continent. Get some help. Above all don't stop fighting. Within you is the power to do anything, including over coming addictions, overcoming an abusive spouse, overcoming anything. We are made in Gods image, we can do anything. Get off of the canvas and start fighting, the battle is not given to the swift or to the strong but to him who endureth unto the end.
