Chasing The Promise Land...I'm married, what do I do now?

Finding The Promise Land, again: So, in the Bible there is this story about a people (Israelites) that used to be enslaved by Egypt thousands of years ago. They were enslaved for like 400 yrs...yea that's a long time. I mean, I'm black and so apparently I should know what it means to be enslaved and stuff, but I don't. And well any black person in America that says they do, well, they really shouldn't know either. Anyway black people before me knew and well the Israelites knew, at least the ones back then did. The story of Israel trekking across deserts, fighting epic battles, and enduring hardships like no other to gain a Land of their own is pretty awesome. It is in fact my favorite story of the Bible, somebody should make it into a movie or something...oh, wait...well someone should make it into a movie a second time, with CGI and explosions and stuff. Anyway Israel really, really thought that if they got to the Promise Land that it would just be awesome, no more w...

Fun Thoughts...

I first want to say thanks for clicking over to read this. I know there are many other things you could have clicked over to, and I know that as you are reading this you are hearing the relentless "pop!" noise of friends wanting to instant chat. Heck,I seriously thought of putting this off to watch the latest episode of The Office on Hulu...not joking, but this was something that has been brewing up in me for a while so I decided to share it with you. If you were expecting to get a lot of laughs from these "Fun Thoughts" then I am sorry to tell you that you will be disappointed...unless you have a particularly and maybe strange since of righteous humor, hehe. My thoughts today are about fun indeed and the reason why I have had such trouble finding reasons to have it lately...basically it seems that fun has been kinda getting in the way of things, which is weird :). I remember when I first started reading the Bible and particularly the Gospels I would imagine what i...

The Problem With Privilege(?)

Simple Town From the age of about nine to twenty-six I lived in Clarksville, Tennessee. Clarksville had a military base and a college, where I also went to college. I ended up in Clarksville because of two military parents. Though my life from birth to age nine was full of diversity, travel, and having to adapt to different experience due to the military life, my time in Clarksville was very much the opposite. Clarksville was a simple town in a pretty simple region of America about the time when I was there. Nothing much went on there to make a kid question the norms of every day routines. Sure, there were racists, segregated parts of the town, stories of that black guy that dated that white girl (and vice versa) and how the white kid’s parents freaked when they found out, stuff like that. But all in all life was pretty slow in Clarksville, nothing that made you really question things in life. It was a good time. It was a simple time. Grade school was a blur. College was no...
